"A Mardi Gras," said Mr. Mullen, "is the most wonderful single forward step Miami could take, to win a place among the gayety centers of tlie world. "Such a fete should come late in the season, as a sort of grand finale. "This would strengthen the general tendency of the Miami season already evidenced, a stretching out longrer than it lias in the past. It would attract more late season visitors, and serve as a magnet to those who might otherwise leave earlier.

Mr. Mullen who has witnessed the festival at Xfw trleans. declared that the Miami atmospliere. the impalpable spirit of the community, is naturally imbued with the fiesta spirit. "America's current of those searching for a romp," he said, "is now definitely flowing through Florida.

More than two-thirda of the senate would vote for the world court if given an opportunity at this session, according to the women's world court committee, which has just, made a survey. They say all that is needed is a message from the president, asking that the matter be passed upon. Many women, all advocates of the court, were at the capitol today trying to persuade the foreign relations committee to take up the fuestion. They have found that with few exceptions, the Democrats support the proposition and are ready to vote.

The senate leaders plan to take up the Isle of Pines question first and thresh that out. The world court will have to wait. The president, having expressed his Tiews on various occasions. Is not disposed to press for action now. The leaders of the women's organizations will try to induce the president to send a special message to the senate.

Senators are receiving requests from thousands back home to consider the world court now.

The decision was in the fight of movie producers against the municipal censorship act, "Bnil reverses earlier decision by the lower courts restraining the censors from interfering with the showing of "bad man thrillers." "Where gun play or the shooting of human beings is the essence of the play and where it does not pertain to the necessities of war, nor the preservation of law and order; when it is for personal pite or revenge, and thus becomes a murder, the picture may be said to be immoral inculcates murder," the decision reads in part Si rtrrt "One of the most conspicuous crimes "today is indiscriminate shooting, the statistics of we all know are appalling."
