The various methods which cadets use in their fiendish work are illustrated wUh considerable detail and. as far as can bo Judged, with considerable accu racy.

In commenting last week on the prep ? ent status of motion picture CSBSOrahll i in this country examples were given ?j the fiasco in which local censorship In . evitably results.

Il fact the chairman of the board has statci that fane cannot appear in any motion picture shown In Pennsylvania, unie"! there is a reason for Its presence. Af mere entertainment Is not considered by ( the board to be a reason, it would appear that the days of farce are num? bered in the Keystone State. Such f? w good ideas as this critical body professes to have have long been regarded as a matter of course by the National Board of Censorship In view of the evi'jent necessity of hav? ing all films censored on?-e for the entire country, if they are to bfl Ins;??." tad sanely, a bill has been Introduced into Congress to create a National Motion Picture Commission. BflnatOT Hoke Smith and Congressman Hughes. both of ??rorgla, are the sponsors. The bill pro? pones that every motion picture which goes Into Interstate commerce be previ? ously inspected and pasted by a commis? sion of five men sitting in Washington, and that no film le Btlowsd to bo shown outside of the Btate In which it is made unless it hears this commission ? stamp of approval. The meehannal difficulties alone are sufficient to make this bill, as at pre?? nt framed, extremely undesirable. So rapid Is the output of film In this country that eah of the five commissioners would have to inspect different pictures. This would result in making one man the Judge of wnat is suitabl?- for the entire country a entertainment.

The stamp of the National Beard Of ?en-orship is now universally rc??jgnued by civic oftVials throughout the country as determining whether or not a film is suitable for ex? hibition.
