U'T'ILLTlU'S PUNCTURED ROMANCE, hIiowu at a local the A atro tlie other uittht, proved to be great propaganda for the "talkies." . x1 For it demonstrated liow superior present movie entertain ment is to the prc-iyar brand. The present writer saw that old film starring Marie Dress ier, Charlie Chaplin and . Mubel Nornwinil, when it was shown at the I'age, sixteen odd years ago. And with the memory of having been highly entertained, he went to see it again. But the net result was boredom flavored with amazement that this crude exhibition of flickering slap stick eoufd have 'ever made himJ or anyone else, roar with laughter. .,k ,f, iY ''.,,,, ' i " ; '".:) ' FILM entertainment has certainly advanced by leaps and . liniinrlu Miiw.e 1(114 "TiHio'u Piinctnrpl sTirnnnni'fi" iu little more than custard-pie nonsense with horse-play trimmings. In sharp contrast with Charley's modern films and with Miss Dressier 's comedies, it is entirely without characterization, de void of genuine humor, and hasn't even one good "gag" to please aspiring wise-crackers. The height of comedy then, was apparently for someone ANYON'li to fall down and go boom. The film was little more than a succession of people falling over themselves. One female super fulling backwards over a davenport and showing her hosiery to the knee, apparently reached the apogee of pre-war comedy. . ' '" "NE sat there and marveled that any movie director sould have allowed such superb material, as he had in Chapliii, Dressier and Nonnand go to suclt complete waste. Imagine what a modern director would do, if that, jtritj. were available iii one film today ( . , ' .:''ii;t, .

BRISBANE predicts the railroads' plea for a 15 per cent increase in freight rates will be granted. Arthur, we admit,' is in a bettor position to know what the I. C. C. is going to do about it, than we arc. Nevertheless, wo stnnd put on our contention that the in crease will not be granted, but the railroads will find their re lief, by the maintenance of present rates, and n material icut in labor costs. .-, , PENDING the final outcome) we will make this prediction: That if Arthur is right, ri ml this increase is granted, it will be a case of the-railr'Aiids jumping from tho frying-pan into the fire. . ,'. . '- f rv- For such ail increase atthU'-wtne will deprive the railroads of what public good will they now enjoy. The producers unci shippers of this country will rise in open revolt. The people will demand the scalp of nhy one industry iit this country thai is allowed to raise prices, when every otler industry is lowering Wiem. P.'" O '"; - i' .-'' Moreover, such an inereaso -will eventually prove an injury rather than a benefit to tho railroads. Tho railroads maintain, for example, that tho competition of motor trucks and water curriers is one of the main causes of their loss of traffic and consequent reduction of income.'. 1 ' Obviously higher rates will increase the destructive power of this competition, throw even more tonnage to inland water ways, pipelines and motor transportation. This is so plain that no supporting argument can bo needed. WHAT then is the nnmvor? Well, tho answer, as wo see it, is for thh rnilrnndu tn wnkn mi. utnn T.flO ICTVO HAP1C. WARD AND LOOK FORWARD, follow the lend of every other big business, and ACCEPT TIIK PRINCIPLE OF MASS PHO DI'CTION. In their rights of way, their central terminals, their open routes free from all other traffic, they have a tremendous asset, which, we believe, is not being fully, or even fractionally, util ized. :''..'' ' ' i-- INSTEAD of raising rates, rates should be lowered, to the point where the railroads instead of yielding to competition limy meet, and eventually overcome it. There might, probably would be, initial losses,' but these losses would eventually be overcome, by increased volume, both in freight and passenger M'nffio. Atmny rate we regard this inueh as certain: Uhlesa, the rail roads snn by inner reorganization, the adoption of new '.'methods to meet new conditions, meet their present competition in fair and open battle, then they are doomed. (routing n rate increase may postpone the fatal day, but can't prevent it. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M. D.

' They're almost aa r:ire an the dodo bird now. Kattllng around In tholr shoe are a lot of internets, but thewe latter day sptfdallflts do not begin to fill the shoeH, for all the drovea of 'em. An in tern Jut Is a general practition er In a figurative Hi lit hat.

The med ical society 'ought to have them "brought up before the censors on Charges of unprofessional conduct, ft Is unprofessional, If I understand the term, for a doctor to hold him self out as specialist in a conglomeration-of ailments. If I were to announce that my practice Is lim ited to stomach, liver, heart, kid ney, lungs, spleen, Intestinal, ner vous, osseous muscular, skin and ligamentous afflictions pIub Hplnal, pelvic and orthopedic disorders of men, women and children, I'd get the laugh from the profession.' But I ask you, where do we stop laugh ing at the latter-day internist with his prodigious pretensions? No, really, It is absurd that we do recognize such a specialty as ''internal medicine," yet we are as yet too hide-bound and narrow, we doctors In general, to recognize such a specialty as diseases of the heart, or hygiene, or plastic sur-, gery. I think It Is high time to with draw such recognition from these oomloul all-round specialists and let them eke out nn existence, if they can", os consulting physicians! which is all' they purported to be), In the firstj place and It Is onl; as consulting physicians thatttlie' have managed tb'ense along Intoj ineir present anomalous position n the medical faculty.

There Is enough hocus-pocus and hanky-panky in medicine any way, without cultivating it openly and officially. QI KSTIONS AND AXKAVKRS , Danger of Oct tins the .Habit Four months after the death of our 7 year old son I had a Cesar Ian operation. The' baby did not live . . . We now have one son and one daughter. The doctors seem to think that all future births must be by Cesarlan operation . v . I think that Is the bunk. I am 32, at the best time of my life to have children. My other children were nil born very easily nnd naturally. What do you say? (Mrs. W. P. G.) , Answer It sounds like the bunk to me, but of course I have no Idea why Cesarian section was necessary this time. I do think some ot our .modern obstetric specialists are a bit too fond of doing the operation. With them it becomes a habit. Some women, too, rather cultivate the habit.

The "child specialist" who suggested such a nostrum for your son must be a credulous one traveling sales men teach him therapeutics. . The strychnin acts on the child's ner vous system like a whip.

Hiking, swim ming, tap dancing or other danc ing under a competent teacher, and whatever active games she enjoys most, will help to. "knit" her soft tissues and take up the ,slack and take out the crackle. Boy, This Bring on Hunger Pains In regard to your complaint about the scarcity of real cottage cheese.

To the child emerging from the helpfulness of infancy, every ex perience that adds to his sense of power and Independence Is exhll erntlng. Especially so are the accom plishments which seem to him to be valid In the adult world. Thus doing anything that really helps Is thrilling. Bringing In the milk bottles from the back porch, carrying trash to the Incinerator, raking up leaves, turning On the bath water, feeding the kitted nil thest. are real things to do. The child enrly discriminates between these nnd the things that are just play, nnd lie places a, cor respondingly higher value upon them. i v It is because of this desire to do real things that the child Is de lighted when he is permitted to take any responsibility, however small. Katlng, washing, dressing by himself a re usually h J f 1 rst initiation In responsibility. If he is allowed to learn these things, not as wearisome duties but ns delightful privileges given to him In recognition of his In creased ability, he Is duly plensed and proud. There Is probably no better means of training a child toward Independence and good routine habits, toward co-operation and industry, than this early capitali sation of his desire to do things which have recognised value from nn adult point of view. The secret of doing so effec tively lies In never giving him a task which l too hard nnd too long drawn out, hut in expecting htm always to do his very best. Once a child has shown that ho Is capable of taking certain re sponsibilities he should be relieved of them only for very go"d rea sons. He should feel that nothing less than his best efforts Is acceptable. A free land Is one where the ablest had rnther he ruled by fourth-raters than risk their dignity.
