The ordinance is a radi cal departure from the ordinance gov erning the censorship of pictures at present, snd is believed to be so drawn as to eliminate further contro versies between the motion picture exhibitors and the members of the censorship board. Should the proposed ordinance be passed the censorship board will be composed of three persons. Kcpre Kpntativns of the motion picture in dustry in Portland will submit the names of three persons, one of whom will be selected by the city council. The council will select one person at large, and these two members of the board will choose the third member. Board members will serve without compensation. Under the provisions of the proposed ordinance the mem bers of the board first appointed shall serve until January 2, 1921. when the council is required to appoint three members of the board in the same manner as the first board was chosen. A new board will be elected each j ear. Board to Appoint Innpectom. The board will be authorized to ap point film inspectors to serve without compensation. Heretofore the film inspectors were appointed by the mayor. The proposed ordinance re quires that film exhilnitors file notice with the secretary of the board of in tention to exhibit a film, and that within 12 hours followinpr the filing of such notice, an inspector must view the film. Inspectors are empowered by the ordinance to approve a film in its en tirety, or to order certain eliminations or changes. The ordinance requires the inspector to refuse approval of any fiim in its entirety when elimina tions which are deemed necessary spoil the continuity of the story of the film. When motion picture exhibitors are dissatisfied with the action ol any in EDector, an appeal can be taken which must be acted on by the full board, within 12 hours after the filing of no tice of appi- L Approval May Be Kevoked.

Melvin G. Weinstock, long identi fied vith the motion picture industry In th northwest, has written a lette to Mayor Baker protesting against the pioposed ordinance on the ground that it contains a provision assessing a tax on each film and another pro vision exists which allows six citi zens to petition to the board for i review of any picture approved. Two Provisions llimtnated. Both of the provisions cited by Mr. Weinstock were removed from the first draft of the proposed ordinance The two provisions were 'included by the city attorney 8 oflice as a sugges tion, such provisions having been found in some .of the censorship ordi nances in vogue in other cities. Mayor Baker, however, contended that neither provision was necessary and ordered them stricken from the ordinance. Representatives of the women s clubs in Portland have petitioned the city council to appoint a woman on the new board. The members of the council have not yet indicated if they will accede to this request or who they plan to select as the city's representative on the board. It is probable that any recommendation made by Mayor Baker will be fol lowed by the council.' SCENE y AMERICAN RED CROSS HOSPITAL AT TIRANA. ALBANIA. CAPTAIN LLOYD W. BROOKE OF FORT LAN D.

Dr. Brooke went from the battlefields of France to work in Albania, having served in hospitals in Verdun, the Argonne and the Meuse, and also in Belgium during the war.

The Albanian haa Implfcit faith in America and In Americanism, how ever. This is largely due to the sym pathetic and unselfish interest the United States has always shown to this small country and to the mate rial assistance it has received from the Amerjcan people through the agency of the American Red Cross. treated by a local pharmacist. She has been suffering from extreme anaemia, caused by a remediable complaint, and the man had applied leeches and bled her nearly to death. This was but one case of hundreds treated by Dr. Brooke at the American Red Cross dispensary at Tirana. The Albanians find many American customs hard to understand. For in stance, Albanian natives are accus tomed to sleep on mats on floor and have to be educated to the use of beds.
