(¢ BRITISH MOVIES “Prodncers Thers Worried Over i American Regulations London, flm producers, with visions of an early eonversion of the Wembley ex- hibition ground into a second Holly- wood, are confronted with the prob- lem of what to do about American | censorship. The question was precipitated with the announcement of the director of the Fox Film Corporation that he Lad declded not to film Michael Arlen's “Green Hat,” to which the company had already obtained the flm rights, He felt certain that American censors would bar it from the United States. The producers realize that the sex realism of Arlen’s play is tamc compared with “Rain,” “Fanatics,” “Garden of Eden,” and “The Con- stant Nymph,” the productions of which are under consideration or actually under way. The success of these plays on the stage, it is pointed out, is contingent on the realism of the sex scenes. Therefore, the producers argue, would be impossible to delete the sex scenes without endangering the artistic—to say nothing of box of- flce—success of any one of films. “The decision of the Fox company director,” said Basil . who is directing the filming of *“The Con- stant Nymph,” “will not change my | determination to stick closely to the stage presentation of the play. 1 shall continue to ignore all thoughts of censor. T am not concerned with what they want and do not want in America. “Are they he sald as a parting shot, “that ‘The Constant Nymph' will upset the morals of Chicago, for instance?' " However, the British Hollywood will have to keep an eye out for British ecensors as well as American. British censorship prohibits “themes violating good taste,”” and many a spiey film has already fallen under that ban. MCRACKEN SEES ERA OF FLYING Sarvey Shows Country Advanc- ing Aircraft Industry ‘Washington, July 18 (®) — There are 364 operating airports and air- plane landinz States tod: P. McCracken, as- sistant tary of commerce, found after a special survey of air- way faellities, and due to the cur- rent interest in air transport he predicted that by the end ‘of 1927 there would be 1,000 such e lishments serving fliers. afraid,"” | “During the past year more than 30 new airports have been estab-| lished,”” Mr. McCracken said today, “and twice that number of cities have set aside funds or have be- gun plans for modern airports. By the end of 1927 about 1,000 air- ports and landing fields will dot the United States, from coast to coast and from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico.” The aeronautical census takers -in the survey include only ports and landing flelds which are pro- vided with lights, hangars, runways | and other equipment for servicing planes. There are in addition more than 8,000 unequipped landing flelds marked on the department's maps where machines can come down or ascend in emergencies. The modern airport is an im- pressively expensive and highly de- signed affair. In Buffalo, for in- stance, a recently completed muni- clpal port cost $727,255 for its 518 acres of ground and equipment. Baltimore is going even a step further, and has provided $1,500.- 000 for its port. Chicago, one of the early major centers to get into the “field by reason of its central posi- tion on the trans-continental air- way, has a fleld where runways radlate out in eight directions. Beacon lights to guide planes at night, and flood lights to make thelr landings safe, machine shops to take over their repair, and sup- ply stations to re-fucl them are among the fittings at every modern afrport. On the alrways connecting ports, the commerce department itself 18 taking up the responsibility Don'’t Be Stingy Buy the Family a Croquet H. L. MILLS 336 hAm ST.

The intermediate landing flelds, too, the government undertakes to provide, but they are smaller establishments than the regular airport, which is generally provided by the municipality through which the airway passes. Of the 864 landing flelds listed today, 207 are municipally pro- vided, while 163 are commercial or private ports, and 124 are com- merce department intermediate landing ficlds, on which planes can alight when their regular journeys {are broken by engine failure, or jcalled off by storm warning.

Second and most important in any form of athletics, but particularly so in golf, Bobby Jones has learned to control himself. He is a stronger personality for having the temper underneath, but under control.

The MAYTAG is Gasily Adjusted 0 Your Height DISAGREEMENT AT MARKIEVIGE GRAVE Funeral Postponed When Firing of Yolley Is Prohibited Dublin, July 18 (P—Refusal of the Free State authorities to permit the firing of a volley at the grave caused postponement of the inter- ment of Countess Marklevicz from yesterday to today. When the funeral cortege arrived at Glesnevin cemetery, the republi- can leaders in charge of the cere-| monies learned that a hundred fully armed Free State soldlers and a squad of detectives were in posses- sion of the republican plot, and forthwith placed the coffin in a vault. The crowd was told of the postponement and dispersed. Count Marklevicz was {ndignant that the republicans had permitted | James Larkin, the flery strike lead- er, to march in the procession with a large red flag presented to him by the bolshevists in Moscow. Before the funeral procession got under way there were touching| scenes at the Torunda as thousands passed the bier of the countess, for not only had she been a prominent leader in the Irish republican cause, but was known for her charity and kindness among the poorer sections of Dublin. There were great crowds all along the route of the cortege, in which Eamon De Valera and Fianna Fail deputies marched. De Valera delivered a funeral or- ation in which he referred to the countess as a friend of the poor and of Ireland, and sald she had re- nounced ease and station for the hard way of service among the weak and downtrodden.
