CIUMIvLF.SS MOVIES Chicago must be U ell-nigh movie ess just now, if a recent order of the . hief of police is e lective. Three youthful robbers, sentenced to a re? formatory, evplulned that they got their ideas from a crook moving pic? ture. The chief then sent out orders SJiat all pictures showing criminal activities, oven if in the last act the criminal were O.cpieied paying tho ull penalty for his Olfens,? against .he law, must bo severely censored ?nd no permits for their presentation nasal be granted. Tills is a matter .11 which many able and thoughtful persons disagree Whether or apt one believes that tin showing of murder, stealing or other rimes lead to their actual per? petration try persons who would not jtherwise have committed them, one still can look with favor on some re ttrlctions on what the Chicago boys caPcd "crook pictures." They of? fend good taste and decency, parti ularly when shown, as many of them are nowadays, in fullest detail. There art* good and bad books. The ?ame theme or plot might be found n each of two different volumes. In me it would be handled so crudely, with its base elements so emphasized ts treatment of character so lacking n truth and idealism, that it would make a bad book, unfit to be read by decent people. Perhaps it is tho tame with the movies. If really good dctures are to be pre tented, as great dramas ar^e played on the stage, tra? gedy, sin and crime cannot be wholly dlminated. But a time should come when film dramas of base and vul? gar treatment will not he shown widely where they can injure chil? dren and disgust right-minded adults. WRONG HOI'SING It FMK I) I KS. Something certainly will have to be loue if the housing situation does aot improve soon. Conditions are A'orso ihun ever. Th ? shortage has ncreased rather than diminished. Millions of people are living in houses >r apartments that are not large enough or good enough to accommo lato them proi>erly. Millions are rowded in with other families when 'hey ought to have home* of their ?wn. All the discussion seems to huve led nowhere. It would take 1. 2&0.000 more dwellings, Hays fln ex? pert, to house tha American people properly. By the end >f Iff] the de? ficit will have risen to more than 1, ltt,SS| if a better record is not made in building than was made last year. It does not follow, howeve r, that j violent and unnatural methods must , he resorted to. Particularly ques? tionable is tho proposal to draw capi? tal into building operations bs exemp? ting; real estate mortgages' from t.ra lam. This plan has been approved by the housing committee of the United states senate, but its merit la serious* ly questioned by tin National TS4 Association and man;, other organ ksatlona p la pointed out thai such exemption would amount to a specl.ll privilege which would work In Just] lo ihi^-' who hsVS pul their money into building during previous years, and thai i* would encourage do mauds for ? mllar exemptions in oth? er hues. Moreover, th' federal, stabs and c ity Irs I nn i need ?II the mon? ey they can |el !?oui la alioti to en f ry their present burdens There is too much capital exempt already. There is 1 strong probability that this particular economic problem, like most OthOfSi will be solved bv natural procepssa Dankera say thai money Is going lo be more plentiful in the spring, and interest rates lower. That win relieve bait the difficult) of aes 1 ons rm t ion. Th" ol |er half depends on Obtuln in- bulldlni materials and labor readily ,,nd ;,t reasonable rates. Ma? terials have already fallen consider abiy. though leas than man) other commodities. They are expected to fall farther, as reault <>t ti-.?? Blacken* ed dsmnad and the cxposun * of mo? nopolistic price-fixing made In the New York building Investigation. La? bor is becoming plentiful and also in? coming reconciled to lower wag? s. Altogether, building will bo a great deal easier In the spring and sum* mor than it has been since 1915, It is latter to trine, to this natural relief than to adopt violent, untried measures that may do more harm than good. SI rTIX<i 1M m<. It VXTS Congress is very mUch interested in the Immigration, as is shown by the fact that there are now pending about 200 bills on the subject. An author? ity, however, remarks that these measures reveal "little orderly treat? ment of immigration and assimilation, few ideas of proper selection, distri? bution and Americanization." lie sa. g that more attention ought to bo paid to the Canadian methods w hich works far better than anything yet attempt? ed In this country. There has been no promiscuous "dumping" of foreigners In the Do? minion. These arriving are thorough ly sifted, and are admitted only when there are Jobs for them. Highly effi? cient labor and Immigration depart? ments distribute them throughout t ho country wherever they arc needed Thus they become Immediately an economic asset instead of a llablltly. The United States already has sonn good selective legUlatlona, but tin--, are not fully enforced because Of an Inadequate staff. "The money for a single battleship would rem- dy this," suggests the expert. it seems likely that the proposal pending in congress amounting t virtual prohibition Of all immigra? tion for a year or .so will go through. Buch a temporary measure, however, solves nothing. The real problem remains, to be faced when the period of suspension tnls. In working out a permanent policy, con? gress might well follow Canada's ex? ample, PAXVtUUK ITEMS. PaXVlllg, Jan. 10.- Mr, and Mrs. W.
