Other states . have for some vears been censoring mo- i Ition pictures, but motion picture regula- | {tion by this state is a new undertaking. George H.

Task to Eliminate Indecency. The commission was recently ap- pointed by Gov. Miller,. who holds that its main tagk is to eliminate indecency frem the screen. The law characterizes as objectionable a film that is “obscene, indecent, im. moral, inhuman, sacrilegious -or is of such ‘a characfer that its exhibition orrupt morals or incite to crime There is a provision in the law. how- ever, intended to protect the producer. The law specifically states that when a film ix rejected by the commission. the board must furnish the unsuccessful ap- plicant with a written reason for its action and the applicant then may have the matter reviewed by the cour Agree on Comstructive Work. The three commissioners arc agreed that constructive. rather than destructive { |censorship should be their motto. Motion pictires, says Chairman Cobb, are a-grvat power for good or | levil. “I am satisfied,” he says, “that all |of the commissioners will be giad to co- i te with the film producers in any legitimate way.” Pictures approved by }the commission will be licensed at the rate of $3 for each 1,000 fret and $2 for each additional copy. Each of the com- missioners will reccive u salary of $7. year. The commission will have sub- s in various parts of the state, and 1 will soon appoint deputies and inspectors {to assist in the work.

MONDAY, AUGUST 1 LADDIE BOY'S SACRED PRECINCTS INVADED BY ENGLISH BULL PUP Laddie Boy, pet and almost constant companion of the Presi- dent, no longer reigns supreme at the White House. From now on he must share this joy and distinction with, the little white English bull pup which was born on March 4 last and presented to the President a month later by a local admirer and who since has grown to large and ugly young manhood. The newcomer, although unnam- ed as yet, can boast of a pedigree probably as long and pretentious as that of Laddle Boy. To settle this score He has to go no fur- ther back than to his mother. who was “Tettrazinl," famous as a show dog and for her sale price— $3,000. Since his preseritation to the President and until last Friday, when he made his initlal bow within the walls of She executive mansion and received & fond patting from both the President and Mrs. Harding, this pup has been under the care and tutelage of Lieut.

MORE SWATTING URGED. Health Officer Asks for Continued Warfare Against Fly. Health Officer Fowler today urged the housekeepers of Washington to swat flies as hard during August as they did during June and July He expressed the hope tha army of of swatters would not allow their enthusiasm to die because the new month was ushered in with a moderate temperature. There are many more hot days ahead, he warned, and the house fly will continue to be a nuisance and a disease carrier for weeks to come. Keep swatting until the last fly jgoes dowh for the count.
