"MOVIE" MEN FIGHT CENSOESHIP
The Motion Picture Exhibitors' League of Penn
sylvania, which was organized in the convention of
exhibitors held in this city last January, is about to
have introduced in the House of Representatives a
hill calling for the repeal of the law which created
the present state board of censors which has been
actually at work since last June. The exhibitors
maintain that the law, which requires the payment
of a fee for every film submitted to the censors for
their approval, places an extra financial burden on
the manufacturers and indirectly on the exhibitors,
and provides "safeguards'* for the public morals
which the motion picture men do not regard as
necessary.
• The vocates of the repeal of the censorship law
contend that the screen pictures can be kept decent
without censorship. They say that a warrant can
be sworn out for any manufacturer or exhibitor
who puts out indecent pictures. They maintain,
moreover, that the censoring of motion pictures cur
tails free expression and that there is no more rea
son why pictures should be censored than that the
matter printed in newspapers should all be sub
jected first to a board of censors for their approval.
The exhibitors take the ground that the decent
theatre men will eliminate improper pictures vol
untarily. and that the indecent theatre men will be
curbed by pubfic sentiment and be compelled by
that influence to show only what is proper. The
public itself constitutes a board of censorship, the
picture men maintain, which is of sufficient influ
ence to cause the elimination of improper pictures
in the few cases where indecent exhibitors may try
to present such pictures.
The Legislature will do well to consider the argu
ments of the motion picture men when it takes up
the repealer for consideration. Pennsylvania is one
[>f the very few states that have legalized censorship
»f films, and if the exhibitors i-au prove that cen-
orship in this state has done little more than to
•lace an increased financial burden on the men who
•rovide this most important kind of popular-priced
musement. the law-makers would do well to re
aove the burden. There are a great many motion
licture theatres in the state that are struggling for
xistence by reason of federal, state and municipal
axes, and they are entitled to be relieved of the
inancial burden of censorship if it can be shown
hat censorship is superfluous.
GASOLINE SHORTAGES IMPROBABLE
It is surely a satisfaction to learn of the successful
levelopment by Dr. Rittman. chemical engineer of
he Bureau of Mines, of processes intended to in-
gasoline output two hundred per c-ent. and
o p« bases for dyes and high explosives from
rude petroleum, not solely on account of the par
icular importance at the present time of the dis-
reries, but to a large extent because Dr. Rittman
his researches has been working for the United
»tes government and now intends, after patenting
i processes, to dedicate them to the American
Our government does not give all the eneourage
ent it should, perhaps, to the carrying on of seien-
Bc research work for the finding of more simple
id more economical ways of doing things, yet what
rpropriations are made for such purposes seem to
s bringing splendid results. It is in the labora
iries of a country, through long successions of
itiently conducted experiments in which failures

ing processes are worked out and the quality and
quantity of the products of industries determined.
Investigators in the laboratories of private corpora
tions make valuable discoveries and monopolies re
sult. Government scientists develop important pro
cesses and they are "free for the use of all," as
Secretary Laue puts it.
With the demand for gasoline for motor cars,
motor boats and stationary engines now increasing
rapidly, the development of the proeess for multi
plied production surely comes opportunely. Fear
has beeu expressed at times that sources of gasoline
supplies might be exhausted with a continuance of
the great demands, but the assurance now comes
from Secretary Lane that the uew proeess gives
hope that there will be no shortage at any future
time, and that it will not only be of value to refiners
with limited capital but also to the users of the
product who patronise the industry to the extent
of from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 annually.
NATIONAL DEFENSE INVOLVED
The process discovered by Dr. Kittman for ob
taining from crude petroleum the necessary ingre
dients for high explosives which have formerly been
imported from Germany and England where they
are made from coal tar, has special importance with
respect to the matter of out national defense, at
least theoretically. We are fortunate in not having
a strong demand in this country for high explosives
with which to annihilate enemies, yet should such
a demand ever arise we would not now be dependent
on importations for supplies of the ingredients.
Germany, according to reports, is now in such a
position that, although it cannot freely get raw
materials for the manufacture of explosives, it has
nevertheless the ingenuity of skilled-scientists upon
which to depend for the development of processes
by which needed products can be obtained from
chemicals of which the empire has a plentiful
supply.
The laboratories conducted by the United States
govern meut are not now pressed by any immediate
need for the discovery of processes for the manu
facture of high explosives, yet it is well that re
searches are progressing with slowness and sure
ncss that results may be available whenever needed.
The report from Washington of the valuable dis
covery is another slap at the pessimism of the patent
office employe who some decades ago resigned from
his position because he feared that all possible dis
coveries had already been made, and that the patent
office would soon have to close up for lack of ad
ditional entries.
March came in rather lamblike, after all. so look out for
a lionlike win<l-up!
Although the British fleet is ensaged in the dangerous
pursuit of shelling Turkish forts, the American housewife
will be soon engaged in the less hazardous task of shell
ing peas.
One of the important questions that doubtless will be
discussed when the Legislature reassembles to-night after
its ten days' rest, is: "When will it be time to take
another vacation t"
A gratifying thing in connection with the shifting of the
scene of the war activities to the Dardanelles is that it is
easier to say "Kilid Bahr" and "Hum Kalessi" than
"Przeraysl" and "Rzasnysz."

TRIBULATIONS OF AN ACTOR
On a certain Thursday night a prominent actor was play
ing Napoleon Bonaparte in a big metropolitan theatre. The
scene was the evening before the battle of Waterloo, and
as the great general meditatively walked before the tents
with folded arms intense silence reigned in everv part of
the house. Finally Napoleon spoke.
"To-morrow will be—"
Here he made a short pause to emphasize the situation,
but the sentence was not to be left long in a doubtful
state of ineompletion.
"To-morrow will be Friday!" distinctly supplemented a
deep bass voice in the top gallery and great applause loudly
rang while Napoleon wildly glared.—Philadelphia Tele

FARMER'S VIEW OF IT
Quiet and confident, the young traveler for the patent
fertilizer determined to sound Farmer Filbert as to his
firm'* latest product. But the farmer saw him coming
among the turnips, and knew him and bis ilk of old.
"No, young fellow," he finished up, after a lengthy argu
ment. "These new fangled ideas don't appeal to me.
Nothing ean beat the old natural fertilizer."
"Good heavens, sir!" exclaimed the exasperated young
patent-pusher. "The day is eoming when a man will be
able to carry enough fertilizer for an acre of land in his
watch pocket!" .
"Maybe he will, my boy," allowed Filbert, as he chewed
a fresh straw. "And I reckon he'll be able to carry the

s Girl's Description of s Battle
A letter received by an English fam
ily in Loudon front a daughter serving
as a Rod Cross nurse in Flanders gives
a thrilling glimpse of a girl's life on
the Nienport-Pixmude Hue.
"We had a lively day of shelling on
Monday," she writes. "At about
10.30, whiz-bang! just outside our
house, and all our glass came shatter
ing down, whit-bang! another, aud an
other, and yet another. Just then the
Belgian doctor came in and told us
we had better go into the cellar. We
went down into the cold, damp cellar
and stood about on bits of wood and
coal, and listened to the continued whl*.
bang and crash of big shells. The noise
was pretty near deafening, and they
must have plumped in about 100. Out
of all that lot luckily we only got two
wounded men—a priest, wounded by
a flying bit in the face, and a soldier.
It was extremely lucky that on that
day the trenches opposite our house
were not occupied or there would have
been manv killed and wounded."

should just iove to move forward into

Difficulties of Motoring
"We are thinking of gping to Fur

ride. We have been hard at it for
nearly a fortnight witaout a break, so
we think of going in. You have no i lea
what a pleasure a trundle into Purnes
is, when you have not done a thing but
remain in two smelly, dingy posts, day
in and day out. I will tell you what
the pleasure consisted of: Gettiug into
a motor-ambulance that has seen its
best days, and irundiug over broken,
hoiey roads that nearly jolt one's inside
out; probably at least once, and perhaps
more, sticking in the dee;> mud. and all
having to get out and push aud shove
to get the ear out, aud eventually arriv

and interesting after a desolate town.
Then a mad rush back again, over the

The Finest Hospital Ship
The British Red Cross hospital ship
Asturias. which the Allies assert was
subjected to a submarine atta-k. is by
far the finest hospital ship iu the Brit
ish service. It piies between Havrs
and Southampton. In the old days, the
ship Mjas in the South American passen
ger service a?.'d was then noted for its
luxurious ac •ommodatious and steadi
ness in rough weather. Luxurious fit
tings are now cleared away, but noth
ing has been lost on the side of com
fort. There are twelve hundred swing
ing beds for the wounded, who receive
every care possible in a land hospital.
While surgical operations at sea are
generally avoided ou hospital ships, un
less of a minor kind, the operating
theatre of the Asturias is so well equip
ped that many serio is eases are handled
there. The Asturias is painted white
with green stripes and carries a huge
square cross painted in red amidships
on both sides. At ,n:ght. the red cross
is illuminated by electric lights and can
be seen clearly from a long distance.
Besides the doctors and orderlies there
are twentv women nurses aboard.

Hagerstown. Md., March I.—The
County School Board, in order to put a
stop to extravagant dress, has deter
mined to require the members of the
graduating class of the Hagerstown F"e

ARTICLE BEARING ON THE "SAFETY
FIRST" MOVEMENT OR KINDRED
SUBJECTS, PREPARED BY THAT
BRANCH OF THE STATE GOVERN
MENT, OF WHICH COMMISSIONER
JOHN PRICE JACKSON IS THE
HEAD.)
EXITS ANDENTRANCES
As inspectors of the Department of
Labor and Industry have been making
inspections throughout the Mate, they
have observed frequently a lac-k of at
tention to exits, entrances aud passage
ways. Too often too little attention has
been given to see that these plswes are
free from obstructions, or would offer
danger in case the occupants of a build
ing, panic stricken toy fire or accident,
would make a rush for the outside.
Frequently passageways have been used
a* store houses. Ladders, standing or
lying down, cleaning apparatus, tools,
trunks, boxes and refuse of all kinds
are left there. No thought is given to
the fact that these articles might
people on occasions of excitement, to
stumble aud fail. Others pressing on be
hind then) would trip over them, and
serious injury might result to many per
sons.
Two instances, which were noticed
recently during inspections of factories
by inspectors of the Department of
Labor and Industry, are worthy of
note:
In one case, an inspector was on the
upper floor of a factory building and
he noticed a door leading out to an
overhead bridge to another building.
On testing the door latcli, he found this
open, and started to walk across the
'bridge. The manager, who was accom
panying him at that time, became very
much excited, and calling loudly, said:
"Come back. Don't go out there;
there are some broken boards on that
bridge,' and you might fall through."
The fact that this ibridge was in a
dangerous condition was something
which never should have been permit
ted. Any employe who hail no knowl
edge of this condition might have, un
noticed, made an attempt to walk
across that bridge. His ignorance, for
which ho could not be blaaned, might
have cost him his life. Until repairs
had been made so that the bridge was
safe, all <\oors leading to it should have
been nailed or fastened shut to prevent
possible danger to any person.
In another instance a factory was
located in the second and third floors
of a buildiug, ami the only stairway
for exit and entrance ran from the sec
ond story to the street at the side of a
store room. Immediately in front of the
stairway at the bottom, and directly
behind the entrance door, was located
an elevator shaft. Persons who entered
[ and left that building had to use this
stairway, and were in danger of being
hurt by the elevator, as they had to
pass directly over the floor of the ele
ator if it was at the street level. If
the elevator had been descending at the
time a person opened the door to enter
the stairway, one step forward would
110 doubt have meant instant death to
i that person. Likewise, there was a
similar danger to people leaving the
building by this stairway, unless they
had made special note of the location
of the elevator. Such a condition was
inexcusable, and instructions were im
mediately given the management to
