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, .

FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES
JkJI It. 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.

ft Is unprofessional, If I understand

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

they can", os consulting physicians!

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.
Tho Whip ;
I am now giving my son 7'
years old his third bottle of the
enclosed tonic, which a child spe
cialist advised. Since I read iiri
your column about strychnine poi
soning I hesitate to give it . . .
Mrs. M. K. B.) : i .-,-
Answer The label you enclosed
states that the shotgun nostrum
contains one twenty-fifth grain of
strychnin to the ounce, along with
4a dash of alcohol, glycerophos
phate and other, scenery. 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.
Tho Crackling Kid
My 9 year old daughter Is very
healthy, 4 feet tail, weighing 80
pounds. But when she tries to do
any exercises she crackles, In the
knees and ankles mostly ....
(Mrs. N. H.)
Answer She is probably a bit
flabby In her muscular and liga
mentous structure. 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.

By Alleu tludsou Peulc.
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.
