In congratulating the members of teams on their work she said that the raising of approximately 000 in ten days under present conditions is one of the greatest triumphs the Brooklyn Y. C. A has ever had She pointed out. however, that unless the full amount, $95 000, is available for Its work this coming year the association necessarily must curtail some of its service to the iris and women of Brooklyn. She called attention to the fact that the association in determining the amount to be raised had budgeted its Income and expenses very closely and said that if any curtailment has to be made it will be very difficult to decide what pait of the service can be curtailed.

Mrs. Richardson Pratt, who served as co-chairman of the campaign committee with Mrs Katharine Sloan Pratt, received the campaign reports from womens and girls teams at both meetings. BERRY CHECKS ONCITYAWARDS lems, including the necessity for new revenue legislation to meet the growing treasury deficit, and emergency measures for unemployment, as well as demands for tariff revisions, the answer is of 'vital interest. With one egeeption, the five Democrats in the key positions will be small-town Southern lawyers. Henry T.

Rainey, who is to be floor leader of his party, is a small-town Mid-West lawyer. All of them are veterans of more than twenty years of service in Congress. Allare shrewd, practical politicians, with plenty of native but adepts in demagoguery and not above using it whenever it serves their personal or political purposes.

Rainey is dour, Introspective, humorless. He possesses nothing of the bantering good nature and personal charm of Jack Gamer.

His promotion to majority leader will be due to two things the length of hks service, and the fact that he is from the Mid-West, and not the South. Like Garner, he has served for years on the Wavs and Means Com mittee. Regardless of the effect upon business, he has already de dared himself In favor of a general tariff revision at this session. He advocates lowftlVStM, with a re ciprocity clause, providing that none of the new rates shall go into effect unless and Until some foreign nation shall establish the same or lower rates on the same items Joseph W. Byrns of Nashville Tenn is to be reckoned with in the coming session, as much because of his natural ability as because he will be chairman of the powerful House Appropriation Committee.

This is the committee which holds a direct check on all government expenditures. which increases, decreases slashes or slices the President! budget as it sees fit BYRNS KNOWS FIGGERS Byrns, 62 years old, Is a tall, tffin cadaverous person, who knows "figgers." As a political strategist he Is head and shoulders above any body on the Democratic side Be cause he is better trusted, he could easily hfve defeated Rainey for the majority leadership, despite the lat ters seniority and geographical ad vantage, had he cared to sacrifice his chairmanship. As chairman of the House Rules Committee, Edward W. Pou of Smithfleld, N. will resume the position of influence which held throughout the Wilsonian era of Democratic rule He will have a say a bigsay In determining the priority of measures to be considered the House.

He is 68 years old and has spent the past thirty-one years in Congress. His usefulness, on account of his experience, will be impaired by his physical frailty His health is poor Jame W. Collier of Vicksburg aged 59, is the remaining and youngest member of the quintet of Democratic leaders who are going to run the House. Garners elevation to the Speakership makes him chairman of the potent Ways and Meaps Committee the) committee which initiates all government revenue measures He is a man of mediocre ability, but if Rainey has his way and plunges Congress and the country into the second tariff revision within two years, he will have more to do with fixing the rates in the new act than will any other individual.

Despite the limited education which he confesses in his official biography. Garner has accumulated a lot of practical knowledge. The law which he dug out of books in a country lawyers office so that he was admitted to the Texas bar at the age of 22, gives a clue to the determination in his makeup. He is full of latent force and loves a fight His long years of service on the Ways and Committee have plunged him into the thick of all the tariff and revenue struggles of the past two decades. GARNER SHOWS BIAS Although a low-tariff Democrat, who never falls to denounce the crimes and iniquities of Republican tariff treasures, Gamer always sees to it that Texas products are amply protected by high duties, especially mohair from Angora goats, raised oil Texas ranches.

Incidentally, he happens to be a large goat-raisei himself, and when the Democratic Underwood tariff bill, lowering the rates on Northern manufactured goods, was being framed, his insistence on stiff protective duties for mohair provoked a barrage of sardonic -jests from the Republican side. As Speaker. Gamer is likely to be less influential than he has been as minority leader. His new job is ornate, and with an imposing suite of offices, a corps of clerks, a limousine and chauffeur, and a $15 000 salary, he may and feel more important but most of his power will pass to Rainey, the new majority leader. Venerable, white-haired, bulky this Illinois Democrat presents an imposing appearance He is 71 years old and a graduate of Amherst College.

But for all his looks his age and his learning, he is the outstanding demagogue of the House.

We were colnmendetfby many Ietjple, including members of womens societies and police organizations from all over the country, for our stand against these pictures which made heroes of underworld racketeers. We have also, from time to time, urged the elimination of ultra-sex films, those which seemed to take pride in parading before the youth of America the loose morals of the characters in these particular pictures.

It is, therefore, but fair to say a word now about the marked improvement which many of the motion picture companies have recently made in their productions, especially in the improvement of the stories and the entertainment these pictures give to the vast American audience which see them daily. We have recently seen the M-G-M Company picture called The Champ with Wallace Beery and little Jackie Cooper. The joys and tears of -this wholesome performance stand out in marked contrast to that class of objectionable films just mentioned. A few days ago wesaw the preview of another great accSmplishment, Ronald Colmans latest picture, Arrdwsmith, the story which won the Nobel Prize in 193CLfor Sinclair Lewis. It is produced by Samuel Goldwyn and is probably his greatest achievement.

It grips you with love-interest, comedy, pathos, besides being ed- ucational, and it no doubt took courage to include science and education iff this gripping film. But it is not our desire to advertise individual pictures. What we want to say, and are pleased to say, is, that apparently the moving picture geniuses have found that clean, wholesome, interesting stories shown on the screen receive both the applause and the box office re-ceipts from the American public.
