Since the governor has been call ing the recent conference! of work ers of all organizations who are in terested in the regulation of moving pictures, inquiries have been heard on all sides as to the why and wherefore of the present proposi- 4 ah Many remember that during the Lincoln tneetinir of the State Fed eration of Women' Chilis in 1918 the subject was thoroughly dis cussed and that many club women were arratlv interested in the oass- ige of a censorship bill in the leg islature ot that year, we nave asked a well-known club woman who has been in touch with the civic work of the federation for a number nf vears for a statement of the Dart that the federated clubs have played . i . . i i t j in me events wiup nave icu up iu the present concerted action regard ing moving picture regulation, with the following results: When the Nebraska Federation of Women's clubs held its twenty-third -inrmal ronuention at Lincoln in 'No vember, 1918. the legislative depart ment recommended tnat me con vention consider and approve , the following resolutions: 1-irst That the state legislature be petitioned to enact at its next regular meetiniir a law reeuUtiwe the censorship and exhibition of Tnotjon pictures in Nebraska. Second mat tne state legislature be petitioned to enact a law estab lishing a child welfare commission in the state. The resolutions were unanimously and enthusiastically adopted, ami as ia wrell lnoun the hill nrovidine for thm i-hiM welfare commission became a law; this commission has had pre pared a comprehensive coae or wws relating to children, which wi!1 be presented to the coming legislature At that time Mrs. A. H. Brooke of Hastings was chairman of the de partment of civics ana miss miian stoner of Osceola chairman of the deoartment of legislation tor the Nebraska tederation. I nese two women ivere in rharire tit the Work ot presenting the sponsorea duis ana getting them through. Aihonarh the hi i tor rensorsniD defeated in 1918 the club women did not pause longer than to take breath for a new attack. Public at tention to the necessity of regula- A I -I. . tj J uon was arousea oy tne wpr& uuuc t-ain veara an and ever since then tti rreat need has been becominor more and more apparent, and the demand has oeen growing more in sistant. When the nresent adminis tration rame into office in October, 1919. Mrs. Charles A. Millar ot Worth Henri ;a annointerl rhairman of the department of civics with m- ctmrtione to make the refutation of moving pictures the salient point ot ner program. Mrs. Millar took up the work whole-heartedly. As a preliminary she caused a survey to be made in all the towns where there is a woman s club in order to ascertain conditions. In the last week ia May each club president was requested la send two observers to eacli picture house in the town on the tame nizht. The observers were to tit in opposite sides of the, theater and mark the schedules provided for them and turn them In to the president without consulting each other or comparing notes. The schedules were sent by the club presidents to the civics chairman, who made up her sum mary from the data thus obtained. Although the survey was not com plete it was taken from all the differ ent parts of the state and from the average 6ize town picture how. and gave a very tair idea of coudmons throughout the state. 'This survey brought out tiie fact that more than halt were called good, one third depicted immorality, 20 per cent tended to create contemut for law. 3S per cent tended to conttibute to delinquency, and 20 per cent showed drinking or barroom scenes. Lighty two out of 130 managers declared themselves willing to co-operate for better pictures. After making a study of some of the causes of failure two years ago. and thoughtful comparison with the work that had been done in other states, Mrs. Millar arrived at the con clusion that the idea of censorship was too suggestive of arbitrary con trol to be attractive to the public thought and that the milder way of a board of endorsers would achieve the same results, while eliminating the acrid characteristics that pertain to the idea of censorship. She there fore suggested that the state federa tion' work for an endorsers board who should examine all films, en dorse those that are fit for nresenta- tion to general audiences and elimi nate the objectionable ones, without giving them the notoriety that ac crues, m some types or mind, to things that are censored. Also that lists of the films of special merit should be provided for libraries, schools, newspapers, women's clubs and other organizations that desire. The recent conferences called by the governor have brought out the fact that a large number of individ uals and organizations nave been giving deep thought to this subject and that it will be brought before the coming legislature backed by a powerful public sentiment, proving" that the 1918 defeat only served to unite the forces that are working for social betterment. The Child Welfare commission has prepared a bill for censorship some whai along the lines of the former bill, but with important modifica tions. The btate federation 01 Women's clubs haa presented Mrs. Millar's suggestion for an endorse es board. Neither side is insisting upon the latter of its proposition; each is more interested in the prin ciple involved than in the details of its particular project. After mature deliberation, wise council and mu tual concessions it now appears prob able that the bill will be presented asking for a board of inspectors of five, men and women, to inspect and either endorse or reject all moving picture films. , The state federation is welcoming the co-operation ot all the welfare forces in the state. 59" CLEARANCE 364 Fine Velvet Hats f Your Unrestricted Choice of Models Formerly Selling Up to $25 k Every Color Size and Shape $280 EXTRA SPECIAL- 200 Velvet Hats 2 for $1.00 50 Cire Satin and Fur Combinations Formerly Sold Up to $3750 $12.50 - Fur Trimmings Consist of Finest Quality Squirrel, Mole, Beaver, Nutria, and Opossum and all are New and Exceedingly Attractive Hats.
