Movios in Britain Affoct Thoughts of Children Eng lishman Declares URGES SCREEN IN SCHOOLS By tho Associated Press London, Juno 20. (By malt) Eng lish children nre rapidly becoming ' Americanized through seeing noth ing but American moving pictures, A. G. Granger, manager of nn educational picture series, who holds tiiat film edu cation ought to bo part oj every school curriculum, cas. "Millions of children go to the plc- turcs regularly," he said to an Intcr- . riwer. "In American films no oppor tunity Is lost to Introduce the Amcri- can flag; American motors are shown and popularized; American Ideas in dress, furniture, habits and customs are being continually put before the children, with tho result that thej know moro nbout Iiincoln and the Civil War than about Oliver Cromwell and Nelson. "Where did the fashion for bobbed hair come from? From America, and by the film." he added. All English teachers are now In favor of introducing the film Into the schools, Mr. Granger tays. N. J. Auto Tests Severe on Women Continued from Tnee Ont street, a man In a pair of blue overalls seeing the crowd worked his way up to the front of It. "Does the women have to do It, too?" no asks of the man who is standing next to him. "Sure," was the quick answer, "can't you use your eyes? There's ono of them up on the sidewalk now " And It was true. Genevieve and her car had leaped over everything In sight and landed all the way across the side walk of West street. As the test requires that no applicant shall touch cither curb in making tho turn Genevieve was told to go home and practice for two weeks more. Mrs. Alice .Tann Hempcl. 20.1 Pearl trect. Camden, fared bettor than Genevieve. In fact, she made her S turn so neatly In her big car that her performance was the cause of cheers from the "gallery." "I was nervous just the same, though." Mrs. Hempel owned up a little later in the written examination offlce at Fifth and Taylor streets, where another test Is required of applicants for rivers' licenses in New Joiticy. "It's having evcrybodj look at jou that's the hard part." Miss Maude Holllday, nt." Mount Vernon street. Camden, was another who coolly maneuvered her chariot around without bumping the curb much to tho joy nnd awe of the crowd. Maude E. Treble drew well-earned "Ohs" and "Ahs," too. All in all about twenty women take the test in one session. Inspector Pedigree, who has been with the motor vehicle department since Its inception, says he docs his best to encourage the ladles and keep them from bclug nervous. Mostly Case of Nenes "That's all that's wrong with them, mostly, when they fall," he bald. "Women are good drivers, every bit, B8 good as men. It's all foolishness when jou hear that joke, 'must have been a woman drhor.' And as fur as the nervousness is concerned the men get stage fright every bit as much, only nobody notices them. Some of them ride up there with their hands shaking like a leaf." Leroy tanning is the inspector in charge of all tests, but he presides particularly in the office at Fifth and Taylor Btrects, where the written ex aminations nre given. He sold women make a trood shawlncr in tlmsp test. mantaining an equal uverage with the men. The choicest answer he has received In a long time has to do with the mntter of making a left-band turn. The an swer was n carefully drawn picture of an automobile with a man sitting in it holding out his hand. Fair Site Debate on Next Tuesday Continued from Tore Out to the front. A rejuvenated Hog Island would servo ns an entrepot for tntts Atlantic! steamers of greatest draught. BBKBfr- jMBfc t JBBBff VBHHftKSfBlHHftJ iV BB ibbbbbbW r .bbbbbbbbwv n MISS NIONA E. TIPPETT The Philadelphia and Beading Ball way officials selected her as official stenographer on the Philadelphia Ellis' California tour, which started on Monday Distance an Objection nere again the voice of the objector protests distance, nnd tho seeming in accessibility of the site; the waste of millions in staff nnd platter, lath nnd wooden structures, to he swept away at tho close of tho Exposition lth no substantial reminder of the glories that once adorned the flats. Boxborough claims attention In the offer of tho Houston cntoto of 2000 acres In that section for exposition pur poses. It is accessible by rail and the clement of economy in tho leuse, or purchase, of adjacent ground is elimi nated. Just as In the Hog Island plan. The topography of the site It is claimed will adopt itself handsomely to tho designs of the aichitcct and the landscape cardeners' art. But alas, there is lack of water! The coveted waterfront is missing. It would, it Is claimed, be a "high nnd dry" proposition. Tho Byberry Fair grounds and tho region round about cnrountcis the same objection. And yet Bj berry Is on tho main artery from New York nnd the Northeast, and from the South nnd the great SouthwcBt. Tho cost of land, it is urged, would he almost prohibitive. Moreover, the lack of water facilities, which nowadays is deemed an absolute ctsentlal in great exposition projects, v is urged against this site. Of Cobbs Creek Park, it is said that while it has water it is not In sufficient quantities to heighten landecapc garden ing effects. Besides that, the all-Important matter of traiibportutlon rises like Banquo's ghost to plague the pro jectors. With Willow Grove attractions trans ferred as projected to the neighborhood of Sixty-third and' Market streets, nnd the World's Exposition next door, the I B. T. would reap a harvest unprece dented in tho financial annals of that corporation. The Job of the committee will not ho a pleasant one. Delegations by tho dozen must bo heard and then, after nil, a universal heartache will accom pany tho decision. Director General Important Next in Importance Is tho bclectlon of a director general.

Johnson. president of Chamber of Commerce, nro Hanging conspicuously on the outer wnlls under the legend, "For Director General." Municipal Judge Bonniwell. It is understood, ls.prepared to shy his castor into the ring. He is a prominent olil- cial in tho Sons of tho American Invo lution, and would court tho indorse ment of Its membership in a strugglo for the ploce. Bodman Wanamaker's name Is en vironed high up on the billboards of tho prospective candidates. There is n strong force being exercised in his be half and his name Is baid to be one of the cortnintics that will be presented. Strong political indorsement of Free land Kcndrlek will place his name con spicuously upon the list of candidates. His success as an organizer in other directions is held to be n largo asct. M. C. Brush, shipbuilder, directing genius of Hog Island, engineer nnd or ganizer of big things, is the one promi nent outsider whoso nnme Is linked with the position of director genernl. But it is well to icmember thnt tho Scsqui-GontPiiul.il is not a local, but a national and International entei prise! The Centenninl Exposition of 1870 went to Now Engluaul for its director general. Congress will demand the right to be heard on this subject, in which cent it is not likely that Philadelphia, or even Pennsjhnnla, will be called upon to furnish the directing genius of tho greatest world's fair. Harding Would End Waste by Congress Continued from I'nco One soldier vote, while at the same time not burdening the country just now with the treat costs of t'ie so-called readjustment compenb.it ion The President has found It jipcp sary to abandon his hnnns-off policv toward Congress nnd to enfoice paity discipline. Tills Mellon littei and the c6nferon"( with I.odse and Mondell tonstituti' his first nsseition that Con gress, proceeding without -guidance, Is loading tlii luiitj toward defint Thf legislative blanch cannct le frain from its old habit of denling out mono with a fue l.ind wheic mom beis think thnt otes for themselves i an le ;;or. lhe economi 'nl impulse which the llom-o showed in voting tor mall nivy nppropiintlins cieates i filse appearance of reform. Few or no otej aro to be won bj building b.it tleOiips or by enlarging tho army or navy "personnel. And the President unfortunately weakened his own moral position before the countrj bj not putting himself nt once foiwaiu as thu leader of the move ment for saving monej on the Armj and the Navy and by permitting his Secretaries of the Army nnd Navy to advocate larger appropriations Con gicss camouflaged its own extravagance bv n show of vhtuo over the Army und Nuvj bills. Was to at tho Bungiiolo The work of General Dawcb, admir able a.s It will undouhtedlj be, also cieates n false appearance of cennomj. Hix attempts at waving are (normoiidj advertised because thej are a noviltj und bemuse he is a picturesque per tonalltj. But the cuts in Armj una Nnvj appropriations nnd the economies through more biinititic budget imtklut, are havings nt the npigot while the wuste goes on at the huugholc. Unless Piesident Harding establishes somo Iron part discipline which will subordinate the politics that individuals and gioups In Congress are pla.ving foi their own benefit to the needs of tin Nutlon and of the part, the Bepubll cans will go into the campaign of 11)22 grnvply dl-ci edited, with the .Nutlon brought some st ps nearer Imam ial dis aster, with taxes higher rather than lower, with ta leform legislation dc IiiC(l hevond the patience of thu busi ness interests, with business leeovery postponed, and with poihups some du bious form of tniift legislation upon the btntuto books. Only mild half-wa measures have been used to check thu coiuse of tho country toward taxes nnd bigger deficits. This Mellon lottcr and the President's stand have been too long delayed and It Is doubtful If they nro sufficiently radical. Two dajs ago such n gentle expedient ns nn effort to hold a recess of tho Senate whllo the lower house do bated the tariff so ns to keep the Senate out of the appropriations mischief was decided upon. If tho Senators could bo got home, they perhaps would not have tlmo to do mischief. Hence tho rccdsK proposal. Mr. Lodge, whoso leadership Is not strong, was beaten, as was his recess proposal. Mr. Harding's personal friends, Senators New, Halo nnd Kel logg, voted to stav In 'session nnd tho recess went down 27 to 24. Democrats Denounce New Tariff Measure Contlnnrd from IMire One structlon of tho Import trndo of tho United States." Discern Commercial War Asserting thnt it is proposed by this bill "to declore a savage commercial war upon tho whole human family." tho Democratic minority says It Is doubtful "If In the history of political affairs a measure so Irredeemably and univer sally vicious has ever been submitted to the law-making power of a civilized society." "Its adoption," tho report goes on to say, "will be establishment by the United States of an economic boycott ngninst tho civilized world. Tho coun tries that fought with us In the lato war will bo victims of Its savagery in exactly tho same degree as thoso who fought against us, while nt tho samo time it will oppress prlevously our own peoplo, Tho would indeed bo Its chief victims were It not that nations reduced to extremity of distress through the most destructive war ever waged will suffer still moro severely from Its opera tions because nil efforts to restore their Industrial life to normal conditions will bo grievously Impeded, if not wholly frustinted, bv tho drastic restrictions on trade which it imposes." Charging that tho bill was prepared outside of the Wnys and Means Com mittee, tho minority report says th" manner of Its making up "cannot be defended." "Its last-mlnuto changes whispered to a invored tow," the report con tinues, "are In keeping with the In trigue, secrecy nnd Jobbcrv which In spired Its covert subletles, Its concealed indirection; framed Its newly invented schedules; cast its complex and com pounded rates, and fixed Its unnscor talnable nnd incalculable duties, with the trickery which has transformed schedules, hidden jokers, transplanted Items, changed its nomenclature and made It impossible to compare It with any of its predecessors. "Cunning has made difficult. If not impossible, a comparison by printing it in deadly parallel with previous law.
