Censoring the Films.
(Bridgeport Telegram.)
No less a person that Will H.
Hays. dictator of the motion picture
world. is interested in the hearing
which Governor Trumbull has no-
corded for next Thursday afternoon
on the bill which was passed by the
Legislature. taxing motion picture
films and setting up a censorship. It
is possible that Mr. Hays will attend
the hearing. At any rate, ho is tel-
egraphlng various important theater
men about the State. urging them
to be present and to ask the Gav-
ernor to veto the hill.
On the mntter of taxation alone
the hill is not so severe, although
Mr. Hays. in his telegrams, refers to
the taxation as heavy and unjust.
As a matter of fact. the tax is $10
for each reel of film. to be collected
from the distributors. This means
a tax of approximately 18 cents for
each showing. which will not ruin

Ninety-horsepower Car and
No-horsepower Brain.
Boston Transcript)
“Our great problem was the youth
with the {lo-horsepower car and no
horsepower brains," said the New
Bedford chief of police, Edward P.
Dohcriy. in talking about the re—
sults of the “education" drive made
by his department. lie said much
more. but the figures in their plain-
ness speak for him and the work
done by his men. In the first five
months of 1925. New Bedford was
the only one among the 70 American
cities having 100.000 or more popu-
lation to report no automobile fatall-
ties. In 1924 New Bedford had no
such fatalities and in 1923. but one.
New Bcdford is not Boston or New
York. but. the. mere. fact that such a
record can be made is proof that
equal attempts to educate the pub-
lic are not always made in other ci-
ties.
The problem in New Bedford was
none too easy. because its popula-
tion of 105.000 persons moves about
in a city whose streets are not wide
and in some parts slope. a great deal.
There are many children. it is near
Fall River, as well as all the Cape
Cod and Buzzards buy summer dis-
trict. and is the scene of a great
deal of commercial trucking. There-
fore, to tackle the problem. the po-
lico department set out to effect two
results; first. to educate the public,
a large part of which was of course.
the children. This was done by pa-
tience and care: for example. an
ofliccr was detailed to all the schools
who gave as it were. lectures to the
children. with what good results one
can perceive. In the next place was
this problem of the youth whose
car was far superior to his own
abilities. He is found in New Bed-
ford. he is found in Providence. he
is found in Boston. noticeably at
the intersection of Massachusetts
and Commonwealth avenues. in New
Bedford. ho was the principal pest
that (hint of l'olico Doherty had to
render less harmful.
It is extremely interesting for a
number of reasons to see what meas-
ures were taken to affect this end.
measures described by Chief Dober-
iy's words: “ip‘or him we found the
most effective club was the direct
route 'to Register Goodwin's office."
It appears that in most cases in New
Bedford a. reckless driver is not
brought into court as for an infrac-
tion of law, but that. on recommen-
dation of the. police department. li-
ccnses are suspended for periods
ranging from 30 days upwards. Nor
does the driver get his license back
until his pride has been chasiencd.
The New Bedford chief of police
says that this system has been found
much better than taking a reckless
dirvcr to court and fining him.
At all events. in New Bedford they
seem to be able perhaps not to ex-
tirpate these pests. but to modify
their activities. What strikes one
about the system is that it obviates
the need of leaving the protection
of the public to the more than ten-
der mercies of some district judge.
We take no part in Registrar Good-
win‘s border warfare with the Judi~
ciary. indeed have often thought
him mistaken. but at this moment
the principal thing is to protect the
public against the 90.horsepower car
and the no-horscpowcr brain and
the New, Bedford method seems to
do it.

It took him several seconds to

of going in the library to ask Lon-

that. After wasting fen hour-length
minutes in the rear of the house. he
quietly returned to the hall. Lilah
and Helen were seated on the lounge.
and both were composed. Lonnie
was on the other side of the library,
paying polite interest to their cono
ventionai remarks. An electric calm
hung over them.
When Michael returned. Lonnie
spoke: “Helen. Michael and Lilah

"Let's not do any acting. Lilah."
Michael interrupted her. calmly. He
turned to Helen: “Would you like
for us to go?"
"Please stay." There was a deep
appeal in her eyes. Michael and-

“You two are not helping mat-

Lonnie was more reserved now.
"it's all such a hopeless muddle.
No matter what we do now. people
will continue to twang their vile
tongues at Helen's exnense. I’m will-

"Please don't worry about it. Cap-

“I won‘t care."
"Yes. you do. You know that

Michael again became conscious
that his head was aching. "Why

exclaimed.
"I don't want to marry him!" Bel-

was silent.
“Make her marry you. Lonnie."
he persisted.
“Mime her?" he laughed. "You
talk as if. marrying her is my duty."
“it is. in a. way."
"Blah! Don‘t try to tell me What's

Michael colored. and glanced at

The Dean's Dictnm.
(Albany Knickerl‘iockcr Press.)
All of us who believe in the
strong. hard doctrine of life will be
thanking Dean Richmond of Union
for his vigorous attack upon the
communlsiic theory of education
advanced by thoec who would for-
ever hold the hands of others and
have their own hands held.
Referring to a recent expert criti-
cism that most college men are. full-
ures or mediocre successes and that
criminal neglect of undergraduates
"has made a lot of suicides and
nervous wrecks." the Dean says at
the alumni luncheon:
of the mentally weak. but you cali-
not make it college out of half
wits ' ‘ ‘.
“We ought to be sympathetic with
these nervous wrecks and would-be
suicides that are crowding into our
institutions of higher learning. but
after all it is hardly the main busi-
ness of a college to provide intellec-
tual and invalid chairs in order that
it may bring half wits up 10 the lev-
el of low melliocrity.”
Anti the Dean might have added
with point that when there are
thousands of vigorously normal
young Americans unavailingiy seek-
ing entrance to these insiitutions‘of
higher learning thbre really is little
room or time to wait on those
whose friends and supporters con-
celve them to be exceptions to the
old law of survival. Of course cpln-
'ion on parts of this question will
vary. according to whether the in-
dividual believes that a college
should be a general intake tank or
a final filter.
Following the Tire Marks.
(Wall Street Journal.)
An American recently traveling
through Algeria by automobile.
came to a stop at the base of a
mountain as the path before him
was altogether too narrow and dan-
gerous for his liking. Both he and
the French guide left the car to ex-
amine the road a bit and were as-
tonished to find the imprint of a
studded tire of a popular French
make on the chalky - soil of the
mountain road. Both agreed that
the job looked impossible but de-
cided to follow the spear a bit.
Leaving the car behind they tramp-
ed up and still the tire marks were
them getting fresher and fresher.
Suddenly they espied an old Arab
toiling ahead. staff in hand. The
mysterywas solved. The mountain-
eer was shed with pieces of steel.
