Tt was first thought that they would be able to secure Geo. I..

The Scouts are unable to make a can- vass of the town for money or ask for any donation. Death of Mrs. Prentice.

An official road test of the new Maxim Motor Co. fire truck was made vesterday afternoon. Mayor Quigley and Alderman Richards accompanied the fire commissioners and members of the fire department on the trial run. The truck was driven over some of the hardest grades in the city. The car went up the north side of Sexton street hill, which is approached by a sharp turn at the foat, and was stopped half-way down on the south side of the hill at a fire hydrant to show the working of the brakes. The hills on Barnett and Wooster streets were climbed on high gea The c: showed speed of aver 35 miles an hour. Those who rode on the appara- tus were unanimous in the opinion that it rode as easily over the rough roads as a touring car and had abun- dance of power. Very favorable comni- ments on the performance were ex- pressed. — i ENGULFED BY FERMAN WAVE, Near Craonne Simply Overpowered.

Through Censor Board | Chicago, May 30.—Ten years of moving picture consorship in Chicago have resulted in the elimination of hundreds of thousands of feet Irnmg fllms shown to more than 400,000 per- | sons daily, according to Major M. C. Funkhouser, second deputy superin- tendent of police, who reviewed the problems he had encountered as ‘‘moral censor' of the second largest city in the United States, when he de- fended the ordinances under which he operates, from recent attacks, According to Major Funkhouser, the board of twelve censors, the members of which are selected by civil service, and which sits in judgment on the pictures, has little or no discretion in ordering ‘‘cut-outs” or refusing to is- sue permits, as they merely adhere to city ordinances, and the state law which prohibits hanging scenes, The ordinances, among other things, pro- hibit the showing of pictures immoral, obscens or which portray riotous dis- orderiy or other unlawful nes which have a tendency to disturb the public peace. 10,694 Pictues TInspected. ‘Within the last year 10,694 motion pictures were inspected by the censor and his aides and out of their number only 153 were rejected in their en- tirety, Major Funkhouser asserted. The average film is approximately 1,000 ‘feet in length and the total number of feet rejected by the censor fast year was 216,556. The cost of maintaining the censor- ing department is more than paid for by the permits issued to the producers. which cost §1 each. Last vear 28,697 permits were issued, The twelve cen- sors draw salaries ranging from $120 to $135 & month. “The trouble with the motion pi~- ture producers of today is that from 25 15 40 per cent. of the pictures pro- duced deal with sex, the eternal tri- eng'e, affinity, and white slave prob- lems,” Major Funkhouser declared. “As approximately 80 per cent. of the motion picture audiences are composed of women and children, especially children, in theaters, outside of the downtown district, and children often obtain their ideas of moralit from the pictures, a close guard is necessary to see that the pictures do not convey erroneous ideas.” Within a year the city was made defendant in 12 sults by motion pic- ture concerns, Major Funkhouser said. The courts, bHoth state and federal, have declared the city ordinances constitutional, and out of seven cases tried, the city has won six. The seventh was lost on a technicality, the moral censor explained. Five suits are pending. “White” and “Pink’” Permits. as Two kinds of permits are granted the produce one being called the “white” permit, and the other the “pink"” or adult permit. The latter, Major Funkhouser explained was for adults only. In these pictures, some sex problems and scenes are permitted, he said. The number of films received week- Iy for inspection runs from two hun- dred to two hundred and fifty, and the moral censors are given three days to pass on a picture, and issue a permit. A regular motion picture theater is established in one of the larger rooms of the city hall, where three screens and three motion picture machines enable more than one picture to be run at the same time. As a rule, two or more of the censor’s staff sit and pass judgment on one picture. ““The city of Chicago is the only eity in the country which has a civil ser- vice censor board,” Major Funkhouser said, ‘‘Ohio, Kansas and Pensylvania however, have state censorship boards.” NEWINGTON F. D. Has Official Test of Its New Com- bination Chemical and Hose Fire Truck. An official try-out and test of New- ington'’s new combination chemical and hose fire truck was made last evening at the center and the towns folk turned out in large number: The new truck is equipped with two 5-gallon chemical tanks with 200 feet of chemical hose, a roof and an extension ladder, small hand,chemi- cals and a hose body with a capacit for 1,000 feet of 2 1-2 inch hose. The town has no fire hydrants now, but when a water system is installed hy- drants will be part of the tem. Then fire hose will be purchased. The nucleus for a volunteer fire de- | partment is already in exstence and with the truck the town is in a good way of having fire protection, The chief of the department is David Win- | chester, who was formerly a sub- stitute callman in the New Britain fire department. He has a handsome helmet that was given to him by friends in the New Britain fire depart- ment. It was one that was used in the days when New Britain had a fire cepartment, and just fits the chief. The test last evening consisted of | driving the truck through the town. One of the constables who had not heard of the purchase of the appara- tus was awakened by the approach of the truck and stepped out in the | middle of the road, Intending to stop the speedster The chauffeur just whizzed by him a 50 miles an hour and the constable, quick of percep- tion, ejaculated: “By Jjing! It's a pippin, b'gum.” After the trials the Woman's Aid society furnished lunch in the Town hall. Chief Dame of the New Britain | fire department witnessed the demon- stration.

ENGLISH ENGINEERS AID THE EUPHRATES Entrance of His Majesty’s Forces Has Tmproved Conditions With British Army in Mesopotamia, May 1, (Correspondence of the Asso- ciated Press)—The peaceful penc- tration of the Fuphrates from Feluja to Hilleh began in April last year, a month after the British army entered Bagdad. Before the Turk was finally routed on the Tigris, Great Britain had begun to tap the resources of the Euphrates. For months during the hot weather the roads from Hilleh and Museyib to Bagdad were obscured by the dust of camel and donkey convoys bringing in corn. Arab levies were raised to police the roads, villages, and and the country was cleared of bands of maruders.

But the Shatt-el-Hilleh ments are only part of the scheme For several vears the land on both banks of the Hindieh branch below the dam down to Kifil has been out of cultivation, as the canals provided in the schemes to irrigate that area were neglected. The British invaders were not long in getting to work at them. In May, as soon as the Tigris opera- | tions were completed, they began to open posts on the Kuphrates. The work on the canals was started early in June; they were finished by of October; and the ground they rigated is now unde cultivation. Therc was a gap in the British communications between N and Hilleh in the hot weather, but the army has lately bridged it, estab- lishing posts south of Hilleh north of Nasciriveh, so that it now administers the whole country from Rasra to Ramadie.
