Navy’s demonstration of strength, and
an impressive one.
Navy men do not like the program
of reducing armaments. They would
like us to believe that all the rest of
the w-orld is watching for a chance to
pounce upon us and that only an enor

One does not have to agree with
their point of view, however, to admit
that a battle fleet in the Hudson River

away from their desks and tools to

tired as if they had been using their
muscles they thir.k they must have
used up as much energy as If they had

Scientists at Wesleyan University

Much of the so-called mental

who is tired after a day at the type

physical efi rt of writing. Many who
complain of brain-fag after a day of
business conferences should rather
complain of "talk-fag.” The physical
effort of continuous speaking is a great
energy-consumer, as every orator and
actor knows.
Most often, so-called mental fatigue
comes from the failure to eliminate
wastes properly from the body. The
one thing the brain-worker needs most ,
is physical exercise in the open air.
MOVIES
Mr. Will H. Hays, President of
the Motion Picture Producers and
D i s t r i b u t o r s of America, very
courteously writes to me concerning
a comment in this column a few weeks
ago to the effect that the movies do
not give a real picture of life, and
sends me a quantity of printed matter
to prove that the picture men are do
ing their best to keep the movies pure.
Purity is one thing and intelligence
is something else again. You can lay
down rules which if followed, will
prevent the movies from giving offense
even to the most prudish mind. There
are no possible rules by which people
who do not know the difference be
tween truth and falsehood can be pre
vented from putting false ideas on the
screen.
•)
The. motion picture is today the
most influential force in the world,
because it impresses the very young
through the most effective channel
for impressions, the eyes. For that
reason, the movies are a fair target
for criticism all the tiaw.
