Motion picture distributors of 10 ma
jor studios today came to the rescue
of theater owners faced with ruin
through boycotts and censorship of1
ftlms and broke up their system of
"block bookings" on all films made
prior to July 15.
The step probably will cost pro
ducers in excess of 10,000,000, ac
cording to executives of the Hays
office, who said scores of films al
ready released, which have been pro
scribed by church and other organ.
rations, probably would not be shown
In hundreds of towns In the country.
It was Indicated that the breach
ing of contracts between distributors
and exhibitors over certain films to
which strenuous protest had been
made, might even extend past the
July 15 date.
: The exhibitors, who for years has
been at a disadvantage in his deal
ings with the distributor, will bene
fit greatly through the plan. Should
local censor boards or church groups
demand he not show a certain pic
ture, the exhibitors for the first time
.will be able to decline to take it
under contract. Previously he was
forced to pay the rental charge
whether he used the picture or not

Communications
How to Foil Cramps,
To the Editor:
More than 75 years ago I read In
the London Lancet, the leading med
ical and surgical Journal In England,
If not In the world, an article by nn
eminent surgeon near a famous sum
mer resort, calling attention to the
sad loss of life among young people
by drowning. He said that from his
observation It was chiefly caused y
fright occasioned by cramps In the
legs. The sufferer begins to thresh
around In the water and call for help
and quickly swallows water and is
3one.
As a remedy this surgeon said 'n
substance that It was a well known
fact that a very slight movement of
the arms would keep one's body
afloat; and then by retaining pres
ence of mind the sufferer could work
the cramp off. If in the legs, for In
stance. The tendency of the cramp
was to draw one's foot out In a
straight line with the leg.
On June 25, 1864, I had an oppor
tunity to test that remedy. In com
pany with Henry Hill, a fellow printer
on the Oregonlan, with a group of
other young men, we entered tho
Willamette river about the foot of
Market street, with the avowed in
tention of swimming across. It was
not long, however, before all but Hill
and I had turned back. Then Hill
said, "Suppose we go across," to which
I agreed.
It was not long before I was swim
ming slowly. Then Hill said: "Are
you tired?" "No," I replied; "I have
cramps in both lags, and am trying
to work them out by using all the
power of my mind to pulling my toes
up towards my knees." I succeeded,
as the result of the method suggested
by tho surgeon, as above noted.
Hill and I rested a few minutes,
then entered the water and swam
back to our clothes.
That was before the days of bath
ing suits. GEORGE H. HUNKS,
Secretary Pioneer Assn.
