Those children are depending upon you. Many of them have actually suffered through the winter, looking forward, with bright, hopeful eyes, to the possibility of being taken to the Fresh Air Camp this summer. It is possible for you to let the brightness die from those eyes, wist ful, even sad. It 1s possible ror you to help those children realize that great hope. Will you help them just a little? Will you send a contribution to The Herald Fresh Air Fund which will pay for even one meal for some child at the camp? The children have not appealed to you. They are not begging from you Others, for them, are asking you— and the children are depending upon you. Will you be one to share in dis- appointing those children, or will you help them today? NDING UPON YOU. of New Britain who to many of SHAW AND THE MOVIES George Bernard Shaw has been of- fered $100,000 a year for five years to produce two motion picture films each year. This must be a true report for Gearge Bernard admits it himself; in fact he told of it. The first requisite of a good motion picture story is action. The action may be physical or mental. The changing state of mind of a person or group of persons is “action” just much as an automobile chase. The trouble is that it is practically impos- sible to picture on the screen such changing state of mind, while repro- ducing the automobile chase is easy matter. Anyone who has driven with the camera man in an automo- bile while he took pictures of the events happening in a following auto- mobile, knows how vivid such “action” is, as contrasted to the “‘action” of a man's mind when he is trying to solve a distressing question George Bernard Shaw is a philos- opher. His tales and plays would be much weaker narratives lacking his vivid manner of expression. Perhaps Mr. Shaw could earn the $100,000 a year with the two films\ he would produce, but the sub-titles, the des- criptions, explanations and conversa- tions flashed on the screen would bave to be numerous, it would seem, to bring any play he would write up to the entertaining standards of the plays he has written to be His appeal is to the mind, the though to be carried to the mind by the means of words. It is extremely doubtful if he would be a great suc- cess were his stories to be told merely through the medium of the pictures THE “SPOILS SYSTEM" As Mark Saber, the character in Hutchinson's story Winter Comes,"” what he means,” when referring to a man who advocates the adoption of the ‘spoils system" in city govern- ment.

TROUBLE BREWING IN EAST - e et Japanese Warships and Russian Pa- trols May Clash When Maritime Province I'ishing Starts. Vladicostok, Siberia, May 20.—~The action of the Japanese Government in notifying its nationals that those who held fishing rights along the coast of the Maritime Province last vear should fish the same grounds this year and would be protected by fapanese warships despite the fact that they had no license for this year from the Vladivostok Government ras caused considerable stir here. The Japanese claim was that the Japanese had no opportunity to renew their licenses, the auction for which was being held when the Japanese could not be present. Premier Yeffrenoff of the Priamur Government refutes this. He says the auction which had been postponed Hve times at the request of the Jap- anese was finally held on May 4th. under the conditions laid down in the igreement between Japan and Russia. 7,620 acrest his vear; Cali-{He announced SILK BARONETTE SATIN SKIRTS in white, navy blue, black, | l ‘ orchid, flesh and French ‘ blue.

Checks Up on Care- Jess Motorists and Reports Baltimore, June 22.—Are drivers of motor vehicles becoming more negli- gent, less regardful of their own safety? It would seem so from actual ob- servations made by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. I7er more than two years this railroad has been placing men at crossings where there are us- ually a large number of automobiles passing. These observers make note of the number of machines crossing $5.95 SPORTS SKIRTS of Heavy Silk Crepe that has a plaid design that is developed in subdued color combinations.

The safety precaution consists of the driver's slowing down or stopping, and then looking and listening. Whep a driver dashea over without taking | |any of these precautions, his licenas number is noted and a card telling him of his negligence is sent him, with request to guard his life and propérty the next time he goes over a railroad track. 25,600 Reckless Drivers. In the year, 1920, the Baltimore & Ohio observers took note of 394,000 vehicles in the states through which it operates. In that year, according to the records of these observers, there were 25,690 drivers who failed to take any precautions at highway crossings. This was 6 per cent of the total observations made, In April of this year there were 16,477 automobiles checked by the railroad’s observers. There were 2,072 of the drivers of these reported as failing to stop, leok eor liaten before passing over the tracks. This was a safety “failure” of 18 per cent. For the first four months of this year there were 58,816 machines ob- served and the ‘failures” reached 17 per cent. The increase in the gumber of drivers failing to take safety precau- tions seems clearly to indicate, in the opinion of the road's safety depart- ment, that the automobile driver is becoming more negligent. 3 cans Borden's Milk Bros.—advt. 25c.
