This is spoken advisedly, as the way Green is interested in blind workers is as follows: The A. F. of L. has united with the National So- jciety for the Prevention of Blind- ness, to campaign against. blindness caused by preventable industrial hazards. But why? For the work- ers benefit? Far be it from such! Green does it, quite frankly, for the employers. He says: “The industries of this country are at present paying approximately $10,000,000 compensation to work- men who have been blinded while at work.” So Green rushes in to save the bosses this heavy expense.

Kansas City Chamber Commerce Dopes Youth KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2.—Under the guise of giving the boys and girls of the town a hot time, local Chamber of Commerce men in the National Aeronautic Association are doing their share in the great task of pouring militarist ideas in the plastic minds of the youth. The happy family will gather at the Chamber of Commerce in the morning, and, a leader of the party informs them, “boys will be able to enter a hangar and examine ap- paratus without fear of being or- dered out by officials.” OF THE CHINESE REVOLUTION .

It | paints in broad, bold and vigorous | | strokes the most absorbing period of | | Russian history—the first stage| |leading up to the revolution that | startled the world. The veil of mystery that shrouded | Russia is torn asunder at last in| tkis screen opus of epic proportions. | The actual causes that contributed to the upheavel of Czarist Russia are limned as clearly as human} memory can do with such things.

And attention to individual highlights throughout add to the ef- fectiveness of this panoramic drama, For colorful, exotic, saga-like stories nothing that men have ever imagined can be reckoned with this stagger- ing story of a nation which deals with actual truth, The film was produced by Sovkino, Horthy Police Report 40 Killed on New Years BUDAPEST, Jan. 3.—The police announced tonight that more than 40 persons had been killed “during the New Year’s celebration.” The police said that there were numerous stabbings, not only Budapest but also thruout Hungary, injan expenditure of approximately nights. | Tlsa chooses to leave “for ever” on the arrival of her home-loving vival.
