Paris, April 31.—Moving pictures have been unequal to the occasion, the-|- press and the public declaring that they have done little to eithér portray or exalt patriotic sentiment. Ex- ploiters of films blame the censor, while the censor reports that produc- ers of picture-plays lack proper in- piration, Cinematograph ~ directors gave a prlvnte view of films exhibited in other countries and even in some of the French provincial cities, but pro- hibited in Paris, to prove their case. Among the things to which the pre- fect of police objected were scenes of German prisoners captured in the Vinay Woods near Epernay, Germen prisoners at the camp of Angers, a French village showing tombs of Ger- man soldiers after a battle, films de-. picting thé destruction of churches and villages by fire and bombardment besides numerous picture-plays pre- senting soldiers. and Red Cfoss uni- forms not in actual service. * The general opinion of the notabil- fties invited to this representation was that the censor was perfectly justified in cutting out imaginary war and hos- pital scenes, holding that they were unworthy to represent the herbism and devotion of the soldiers and nurses. A contrary opinion was held, however, regarding certain films of actual happenings. The Tesult has been that government has authorized four representative concerns to take moving pictures of war scenes at the front. ~In the mean- time moving picture houses are de- pending largely upon old films to en- tertain their public, which i" gradual- 1y growing smaller. French wit has always found a wide fleld of effort in the caricaturins of publlc officials of all grades and departments, Martial law has given Jatter their fivst oportunity to revenge themselves. - Any film roflecting upen, belittling or holding up to ridicule any functionary of the government is pit- ilessly’ censored. The result of the limitations put up- on directors of moving picture houses has been to-give unusual prominence to American films, DANIELS COMMENDS SAILORS, “ Jor Rescring Persons at San Fran- { cisco and Nicaragua.

Every Woman Slmld There are three entirely dife ferent kinds of bakiug powder, namely: (1) (2) Cream of tartar, derived from grapes ; Alum, a mineral acid; and (3) Phosphate of Lime. (1) Baking Powders made of Cream of Tartar add to the food the Same healthful gqualitiés that exist-in the ripe grapes from which Cream of Tartar is derived. (2) Baking Powders made of Alum add to the food some form of Alum or Aluminum, a heavy metal, wholly foreign to any natural article of food.
