CENSORS "ON TRIAL"
Eludes Ruling Against Leaders
In Corking Melodrama by
Having Them Read
NEW CHAPLIN AMUSING
What the Censors
Cut From "On Trial"
THE State Board ordered the fol
lowing lenders eliminated from
the Pennsylvania print of the film
based on Elmer Relzonstein'a melo
drama. They were read from tho
itage at yesterday's performances:
Sixth Reel:
I, "Isn't it strange the clergyman
didn't arrive last night? You
are sure he will be here this
morning?" , '
t, "I wish' you had gotten the cler
gyman in the neighborhood last
night."
"What difference do a few hours
make?"
. "Explain that we arc to be mar
ried this morning the clergy
man didn't arrive last night.'1
S, " but father we are to be
married can't go home now."
By the Photoplay Editor
STANLEY "On Trial," nssanaj-Pcerless. with
Barbara. Castloton and Sidney Alnsftorth
Story adapted from the rla lis Elmer Ilelien

They put one over on the censors yester
ayand the succe-1 of the stunt Is likely to
It Imitated b other plcture-plaj, house man
ajers Event uallv if the scheme Is prose
cuted with enough vigor. It seems as
though Doctor Obcrholtzer and Mrs Nlver
were going to bo shorn of n lot of their
power, the same power that has reduced
to nan) photoplas latelv to masses of un
connected incident and cut tho tlramntlc
itrlngs that hao held plots taut. Mr
Mastbaum, besides circumventing tho State
Board, has positively turned his coup into
an Interesting artistic bit of stage manage
ment He has rellglouslj taken out the
leaders to which the censors objected Dut
In their separato places ho has Inserted
large Interrogation points Whenever one
of these is visible on the screen Henry Her
bert, a capable actor, vlth an admirably
tonorous "carrying" voice, enters fiom tho
wings on tho darkened stage nnd speaks
the forbidden sub-title Yesterday morning
the ruse worked out even better than Its
boosters had hoped The continuity of the
Itory dldn t suffer There wcro nono of
thosa lapses so frequent In censored films,
when; Mrs Dash turns to her husband nnd
whispers "Whazm mean"'" The perfectly
ordinary intrigue to which the censors ob
jected was understood bv the spectators,
just as audiences In the and readers
of novels havo undcistoot tor vears and
years And It isn t on . eord that any
delicate-minded soul swooned nnd had to
be borne from tho auditorium
All these happenings (or tho lack of
them) made "On Trial" of moment But
It has enough worth In itself to be Inter
esting without tho frlll3 It is a corking
melodrama which lino been produced nnd
cut so that tho tempo Is rapid Tho shuttle
of episode works so Bwiftly that ono must
keep his eyes on tho screen every moment
The. original plat' has been followed with
lino fidelity visions nnd cut-backs being
cleverly utilized without any foolish footage
The acting Is crisp ahd sharp Incidental
"business" nnd tpes betoken Intelligent
direction Vot many will mind, slnco this
was built for speed nnd not beauty, the
complete lack of modern lighting and tho
harshness of tho camera work Xor even
out old friend, tho gun In tho convenient

PARSNIPS AND VEGETABLE OYSTER
FINE CROPS FOR WINTER KEEPING
Lomr-Season Crons and Cannnf, Rp Fnllnworl WU.ri f.Hi.
Vegetables in Row Afford Variety During Cold
Weather Improved by Freezing How to Store
By JOHN
The home gardener should not neglect
to make provisions for producing vegetables
for winter use. These can be put In new
ground or can follow gome of the early
crops such as peas Parsnips nnd salsify
are among tho moot satisfactory to grow
and easy to keep, according to the National
Emergency Food Garden Commission
CULTURE Or PARSNIPS
Parsnips need a long season to mature.
Tho autumn rains mature them rapidly, and
they aro readv for use from November on
From then until spring tho parsnips can be
taken from tho garden The hard freezing
of winter only Improves the flavor
Plant only fresh seed, as parsnip seed
two years or older Is likely to have lost Its
fertility Soil should be deeply prepared:
If hard or lumpv tho roots will become
"brnnchy" or deformed
Sow a half ounco of seed to 100 feet of
row, making rows eighteen Inches apart
flood varieties are Hollow Ciovvn and
Student
Seed Is slow to sprout, and therefore It
Is well to mix quick-growing radish seed or
cabbage seed In with tho parsnips to break
the crust of tho ground nnd mark tho row
for carl cultivation Often the success of
the crop will depend upon breaking the soil
with a rnko after tho planting, especially If
rains form a dirt cnibt
It Is Important thst tho thinning (to ono
plant every two or threo Inches) be done
whllo tho plants aro small, because It ls
hard to pull seedlings out when they nre
large.
While parsnips safely may be left In the
ground all winter without being affected by
frost, In northern climates it Is better to
harvest them lsto In tho fall and store them
In garden pits covered with earth rulling
or spading them out of frozen ground Is
nlmou lmposlble Tho best gathering
method Is to dig trenches on both sides of
the rows and then pull the plants out.
Roots not used by spring should bo lifted
anyhow, in tho second season old plants
become wcedllke
CULTUR1
OF SALSIFY
Like parsnips, salslf or vegetablo oyster,
as It ls usually called on account of Its
flavor resembling the taicculont bivalve, Is
improved by freezing Rnqts nrn be safelv
left In tho ground all winter Like the
parsnip too oalslfy Is an all-eason crop
which cannot bo followed In the garden by
i second or succession crop Mammoth
Sandwich Island Is a very satisfactory va
riety Salsify also is llko parsnip In that
I' is not adversoly affected by hot weather,
or even drought, although growth Is re
tarded nt such times Salsify grows slowly
throughout tho entlro season and ls tcidy
for use lato In the fall From then on
until spring it affords a steady suppl of
food It Is u root which deserves wider
planting, on account of tho distinctive
oyster-llko flavor of this vegetable
Tho seeds aro large, long and hard, like
sticks Most of them are fertile, to that
in planting salsify it is not necessary to
overplant In order to allow fo Feeds tint
will not sprout This fact, too, does away
with tho noccslty of thinning out the rows
Plant half nn Inch deep wherever ou want
plants to como up Plants every two to four
Inches are at the correct Intervals, accord
ing to richness of soil Do not thin out
Ono ounco of seed will plant 100 feet of
row
As In the caso of parsnips, tho soil should
be deeply broken up so that the main roots
will not split or branch. Tho plant puts
out numerous side roots, bo that when It
attains any size It becomes firmly fixed fit
tho ground
Harvest tho roots by trenching on both
sides of tho row and pulling out the plants
by their tops Where the ground freezes
so hard that digging la Impossible In winter
tho roots should be put In a pit dug In tho
garden and covered with soil with straw
or litter nnd old carpets and bags thrown
over to keep tho ground workable. Roots
left to grow tho second season aro apt to
become weeds
Both parsnips nnd salsify can bo kept
for winter use packed In conveniently sized
boxes In sand or dry dirt Boxes can bo
kept In any dry, cool, dark place a good
cellar, for Instance

various entertainments
Tho round of social activities mapped
out for the Phlladclphlans was continued
hero when the women of tho party met
with the wives and daughters of other
Rotarlans at tho Druid Mills Club, where
luncheon was served
Men wero strlctl barred, but after the
luncheon was over they came out to take
part in a big watermelon cutting, which was
made the more realistic by tho presence of
negro minstrels Later on ever body was
welcomed at "Dltlo Land," where open
house was kept all night.
Tho next head of Rotary prominently
mentioned, nnd, nt p-esent the only twe
aro Guy Gundnker, of Philadelphia, and
tho Rev. E Leslie Pldgeon, of Winnipeg.
Both men aro extremely popular, and both
are conceded to bo most able, but, at pres
"cnt, It appears that Gundaker has the edge.
His report at the 19P. meeting of philan
thropies and education added Immeasurably
to Rotary's platform propaganda, and the
