+? 11 11JL? Baptist Lender Hits Film 'Evil' Nashville, Tenn., June -7.?Dr. M. E. I>ocid, president of the Southern Baptist convention, took cognizance of the movie reform movement yesterday in a message to 12,(H>0 Haptist ministers, uiging them to "strike while the iron is hot.." In his message, Morals and Movies," released at convention headquarters here, Dr. Dodd of Shreveport, Da., said that "pious resolutions are not enough," and asked that the ministers pledge "our people" to participation in the movement. "Del us act," he said, adding that "the.box office is their vital spot." Of the reform movement, Dr. Dodd said that'"this perpetual problem is more prominent just now than usual." "Hence I take advantage of that fact," he continued, "to propose that we Southern Haptists make our religion real and effective on -|hjs matter. Our Roman Catholic friends are taking a strong position and they arcbeing pledged to eut out all pictures and picture places which are destructive of home and religious ideals." "Why should not we Baptists do something definite and strike while the iron is hot?" the Baptist leader said. "Pious resolutions are not enough. Lot us uct, Too long we have hesitated. The box office is their vital spot. iStrike it. "Will Hays will make pious promises. He has done that before, and fulfilled -none of them. Ix-t us point out the evils to our people, challenge their loyalty to Christ and the church and then pledge them to abstinence from that which attacks our holy religion." The question of "Morals and Movies", headquarters said yesterday, has been before Southern Baptists previously, but it was not formally taken up at the last convention, in Fort Worth. In earlier conventions, resolutions were passed regarding the matter, but in Fort Worth, the spokesman said, it "seems to have been overlooked." Personal Mention. Mrs. R. M.

Fred Williams, of Columhiu. spokle on Thursday. Dr. Williams is superintendent of the South Carolina Hospital and his talk touched on many phases of his work there. He stated that the corner stone of the hospital was laid in and tin* building wfts not completed until JS27 and that patients were advertised for . and the first patient did not reach the I hospital until 1H28. Since then, there have been over .18,000 patients admitted and today the patient population is,.3,">00 and these together with the hospital .staff make a population of 4,100. Dr. Williams stated that there are sixteen doctors devoting all of their time to the hospital and then are .tOO nurses. He says that the hop pi tu I has n M-horse fnrw and that it has been making asointich as $1S.000 a year for many years. Also, that the hospital has one of the finest dairy herds in the South, which furnishes the beat of fresh milk to the patients. Some of the daily items of food for the hospital is four beeves of 500 pounds each, 4 barrels of Hour, (?!> ? do'//en eggs, 1 1-2 tons ?f cabbage. For breakfast there are 8,400 biscuits baked besides other bread. I)r. Williams said that the hospital is controlled by five regents who in,-turn appoint the various staffs, and that these men have done wonderful work and have cooperated in every way to help the hospital tun as a first class institution. I)r. Williams then touched on ("Mental Health and Mental Diseases." He said that since the world war the people have been forced to go through many trials and tribulations and many people are mentally sick as a result. He says that the depression took a heavy toll on the peopfe, many of whom could not adjust themselves to the changed conditions. He thinks that the peak of mental diseases has been reached and sees a bright future as to the situation. He said that he attended the first National Tuberculosis Convention in 1908, and at that time the people spoke of this sickness in a hushed voice and thought of patients as outcasts from society. Today the death rate has been reduced 84 per cent, and that he sees better days ahead for mental sickness. Dr. Williams says that our National Government realizes that recreational centers are a big help to mentally sick, and that England realized it several years ago. and that they have accomplished a great deal since inaugurating that program. He went to England several years ago and made a study of their work there. As a result, the State Hospital now has field workers among those in1 dined towards mental sickness and jnuch good is being accomplished. ,, I Dr. Williams says that one out of I every twenty-four babies that are born daily are likely to enter an institution for mental sickness and that, for a country average each person has three hours treatment for mental sickness for one hour of physical sickness. He says one of the best helps is that people now bettor understand mental sickness and the causes, which is making the fight easier. He says that formerly the hospital was regarded as a custodian institution and now realize that cures are possible, j As a result, twenty-five per cent of 1 the patients are now being, sent home ' a< entirely cured, and thirty-five per cent as improved enough to return to their homes, a total dismissal of sixty per cent. He thinks these figures are going to be improved as | 1 t .mo goe.s on Dr. Williams said that the appro-j ipriution for his hospital amounted toj 'only fifty n no oents por patient per j ' day and that this small appropriation h?'s his work curtailed. He urged the Hotarians to talk with the delegations ar.d get them to be a little more liberal with the hospital. Dr. Williams think-- that many inmates i of county jails are there for no other ; reason than that they are mentally J Mv-k. and that the Rota: .arts can help many of them by cheering them up | and getting them .r. a bettor frame i | of mmd ar.d g.ving thorn a helping j hand. Dr Williams received considerable1 applause for th's fine address and | [ mar.v congratulated him afterwards, ' for h - splendid, talk The vu-it.rg Rotanans were Carroll j Jones, of Columbia, ar.d.

A steadily mounting list of infantile .peralvsis cases are being retried from Hollywood, CaL Bernard M. Baruch To Quit Wall Street, 'I ? New York, June 21.?--Bernard M. I Baruch noon' will dissociate himself completely from Wall Street, where he has been a potent, almost legendary, factor for many. years in the worlds of finance and industry. The tall, broad-shouldered, grayhaired financier?whose chairmanship Of the industries board of the World \yar was so dominant that his aides ii^ war mobilization work are still known as "Baruch men"?will move his offices far up town and apend the next few years in the work he has long looked forward to, writing about affairs in general and his own memoirs in particular. In 'his skyscraper office at 120 Broadway today, with the traffic of Now York harbor in full view below, Baruch told of his plans: N "1 don't want anyone to thjnk I'm getting rusty and am going to retire. I'm not, positively. I'm going to be as active as I've always been. BUt it will be a different kind of activity." Between occasional writings on economic*"and political subjects, and between occasional public addresses ? for he intends to appear before the public more, now that he is putting behind the financial district?Baruch will work on three main literary efforts: 1. The autobiography of an American boy. This will be the chronicle of a life, his own life, that began in August, 1870, in South Carolina. It will be the story of a son of a surgeon in the Confederate army ?Simon Baruch, who came to the United States from Germany. It will give a boy's reflections on the days of Confederate war reconstruction, it will relate college days in New York City, of the study of - economics, of the start of a career in Wall Street. It will be a panorama of life in high finance in the days of James J. Hill, George Baker, Morgan the elder, through the panics and ^he World war, the close friendship With Woodrow Wilson, down to the Wall Street of today. It will take away the veil of mystery from a man who has made millions for himself and his associates. It will be the story of Bernard Mannes Baruch, the speculator, the confidant of heads of governments. 2. The way that lies ahead for the youth of America. In this, which I Haruch intends to make as impersonal as possible, he hopes to set forth some events of his own life as they might be of service to the young men of today. ' "Some youth," he said in his soft voice, with still a trace of Dixie accent that grows crisp now and then w^th emphasis, "will probably throw the book aside, call me an old faker. Hut' to others there may be something in it of valuev..This is my sincere hope." H. Man's conquest of. nature. For this, Haruch has been making notes, studying for many years. In it he will weave his own philosophy of life. It will trace the development of 'tribes into nations, of barbarism into culture, of society. "I guess no one will say I won't be plenty busy," he said. And through it all will run the theme he often repeats: "Life has been always interesting, but never easy." The last of this month. Haruch will .-.ail of the Leviathan for a few weeks in Vichy. With him will sail Frank ft. Kent, of the Baltimore Sun. In the few weeks while he's aboard his aides will move up town to a quiet office at Madison and FiftySeventh streets. When he comes back he will get down to intense work. "And there'll be no ghost-writing. I'm going to do it myself. It may not be as good literature. But at least, it'll be my own." The heat grew more intense in his office. He ordered some ice cream, moved to the cooler rgom that used to be the office for several years of Hugh iS. Johnson, a "Haruch man," now the administrator of the NRA. Leaning back in an easy chair, stroking his unruly hair, with a foot on the corner of a desk, he talked a little of his life. "I'm just what I've said I was? u speculator. And when a congressional committee years ago asked me what I meant by saying I' was a speculator, I said: 'A speculator is a man who thinks and plans for the future?and acts before it occurs,' and a speculator must always be right." There was a mass of correspondence to attend to. Visitors constantly were being announced. "It'll be great to break away, won't it? I'll still have an interest?but it'll be only the interest of an investor, constantly looking on. constantly interested in the social, political and economic ways of life."
