I thought the underwear adds in the magazines were about the limit in presenting an but these Movie adds give you the same thing without the underwear.

Even I myself appeared in a Nightgown in the Connecticut Yankee, so on the billboards it would add a touch of romantic glamor, to say nothing of a smattering of sex appeal. Mind you you musent let the "add have anything to do with what you see on the ln- sides. You are liable to see the wildest stuff facing you on the billboards, and then go inside and everybody is dressed as esquimos all through the picture.

all Latin American Countries, (I am speaking of authority as I flew over them at an altitude of sometimes as low as ten thousand feet) in those Countries, if you put a picture on the boards to advertise what you are having inside or if in your wording you say that Miss Millie De Hokum will entirely disrobe on a tight wire, why on the said night Millie better do a mighty good job of stripping or the cash customers will clothe Millie and her management with some seats and chairs, and any other handy article laying around. Of if it shows a picture of a bull fight and a Matador being gored, by an unruly Ox, why the day of the fight, you better have the man gored, 1 or be prepared to be gored yourself. i In other words you got to deliver what you advertise. So the big problem of the Movies now is to deliver up to what the Lithograph makers and the add writers have shown on the outside. In other words that branch of the Industry has stripped" the Production end.

We i just cant seem to get em as wild as they show em on the outside. We got to get wilder people. A lot of these have been out here for years, and they are getting kinder old and tame. There is an awful lot of us out here I that just cant arouse the passions in I our public like we ought too. And thats why we keep trying to get new blood into this ART.

Titles Cause Trouble Then in the Titles of Pictures, there is where its getting hard. They just, cant think up enough suggestive Titles to go around. They bring every big Writer out here from New York and England and have them in an Office just thinking all the time on Titles that will lead you to expect you are going to see on the inside about four of the most prominent Commandments broken, right before your eyes. But there is just so many of those Titles, and every Company is fighting to get em. You take old lays like the "Old Homestead." Now they are just waiting till they can think up some title for that, and then it will go into Production.

"Hell'cd" To Death The word "Hell" while generally frowned upon as conversation in the grammar grades, has been literally pounced upon by the Movie Title manufacturers, and they have just about "Hell'ed" everything to death.

They have pictured the Doorway, the stage Entrance, and every part of Hell, till Hell has just got so it dont mean nothing anymore but another work in a title. Putting the word Hell on the billboards and expecting to scare up any excitement among the prospective victims any more is just blowed up. Course my old friend Will Hays still insists that Virtue triumphs, but they keep making you more and more doubtful right up to the end, in fact most of them hold it back till after the final fade out. And I have seen some of em here lately where it silent screen, would have got the "Rawsberry" now are considered smart, for they apply to nothing and mean less. I saw one the other night called "Kiss and Leave Each Other Flat" It was so subtle that it dident say whether you can leave em flat physically, or financially.

They call em drawing room Allays, women with nothing on their minds eat em up, kids hiss em, and old men sleep right through em. They had em on the stage till they ruined it. So between "Subtelry" and Gangsters we have run the old Cowboy trying to save the sherriffs daughter, right back to the dairy farm. No modern child would want to learn how to shoot a 45 Colts. He wants to know how to mow em down with the old Browning Machine Gun.

But we will live through it, and come out with something worse. We. always do. So we better make the most of this while its here. I.

Burlington business should bo interested in this proposition as all things sold in this park would come from Burlington and all money made would be left in Burlington. Traveling men would Sunday-over here and many tourists would stop over for a few days if we had this park along the Mississippi whore they could go boating on the river. I think the Mississippi river is one of the best assets Burlington has and we are not taking advantage of it as we should.

J. Burlington, la, Masonry's Interest Editor, The Hawk-Eye' A day or two after leading the letter in The Sunday Hawk-Eye suggesting that either the D. A.

"George Washington, (a Mason), whose wisdom and greatness became more and more apparent with the lapse of time, wrote: 'We believe that the greatest human agency for the moral growth of the Individual, the prosperity of our country, and the preservation of our government is free popular education, and therefore the state should do her utmost to encourage and advance it with all her Not until 1850 did such a system come'near to realization, because economic and other inter- CHICHESTER PILLS WrA-sT fnn IWAMOW" A A fc JHKA rM SOLO BY DRUGGISTS EVERYWKBi ests and the Masonic ideal sought to be DU into practice came into conflict with another.

MASON. Burlington, la. Airport Editor.

The Hawk-Eye The public demands safe passenger-carrying airplanes. To stay in business we must operate at a profit. Selling airplane rides at 75c a ride is certainly undermining a big business in Its infancy. If a plane carried 125 passengers a day, two at a time, its profits after paying hangar rent, gas, oil and repairs or commission to its pilot and general depreciation would be none, and an accident to the plane would run the business at a loss unless the repairs were paid out of a fund other than from the money collected at 75c per ride. The public must be guaranteed safe planes, and planes cannot be bought, operated and maintained at 75c per ride If operated on a business basis.

Anybody owning an airplane privately can give away all or part of his profits if he so desires, but a good crack-up will put this type of owner out of business unless there is money from a private source for repairs and the taxpayers of this city, have stood by and watched the mayor and other city officials spend our money to promote an airport. Now after spending all this monew how is it to succeed if someone is to cut prices to the extent that no one connected with the business can making a living? Outside planes will keep away from Burlington in the future unless a different policy if adopted. For a bigger and better business, Burlington, la. A. K.

The Hawk-Eye: One of the educational features of W. C. T. U. work recently was the distribution to newspapers of a scientific analysis of the Bratt system of liquor sales in Sweden made by a famous expert on alcohol matters.

Dr. Robert Hercod of Lausanne. Switzerland. Dr. Hercod points out that the Bratt system would probably never be satisfactory the system.

A strict personal account to the United States for the same reason that it Is not entirely satisfactory In Sweden, as the government maintains an espionage system over every individual permitted to buy liquor under the system. A strict personal account of individual actions In public and private appear to be necessary for the administration of the Bratt system, something which would never be countenanced in this country. Prohibition as a governmental problem will be studied at the Ohio Wesleyan university in the political science department next fall. The head of the department, Dr. B.

A. Arneson. declares that- it will be a two-hour course over one semester, open to juniors and seniors. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union believes Mrs. Henry W.

Peabody, general chairman of the women's 'national committee for law enforcement, is right in her statement that "no organized group, religious, industrial or secular, can stand against the constitution of the United States without imperiling the government." Woman's Christian Temperance Union is now organized in ten thousand local communities; it has an organization in nearly three-fourths of every county in the United States, and of 'course is organized in every state in the union, some of the large western states having two state organizations.

Rapid Progress Being Made, Keohuk Bridge Keokuk, May Widoll company is progressing rapidly on the bridge being built over the Seventh street hollow, better known as Bloody Run or Soap creek. A. R. Knoeff is in charge of the work and reports that there has been considerable progress. Everything is in preparation for completing the brim.

That is, the fill-in, back of the abutment. There are two concrete foundations laid, with the holes for four more already dug. The bridge will be twenty feet higher than the old structure, to prevent such a steep approach old bridge. The new bridge will extend past the alley of A and streets. This will take out much of the incline down Reid street hill.

The state highway commission was asked to act and it wired the Widell company at Mankato, that it should pay 40 cents an hour for labor whereas they were paying only 30 cents. The company accordingly complied with the suggestion.
