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."

Dr. Williams Tells
Rotary of Hospital
The Rotary ('dub enjoyetl V1? thv
finest talks ever made ut a meeting
when Dr. C. 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 |

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."
