FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1934,

Post-Democrat: For years, The American Humane Association and its affiliated and non-affiliated societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, have been crying out against the cruelties inflicted on animals in order to secure thrills for movie audienes. A perfect epidemic of so-called jungle and wild life films has been produced, interspersed with frontier pictures in which vast numbers of animals of almost every kind have been used. There can be little or no objection to the use of animals in many of these productions. Some of the pictures have been truly beautiful and have created a better understanding of man’s relation to all speechless life. Unfortunately, other films have been of the most revolting type. Without regard to the suffering entailed, animals have been wounded and slaughtered in most barbarous fashion. Special compounds have been built with a jungle background, and used as a setting for specially staged fights between animals. Species that avoid one another in the wilds are brought together and teased into brutal life and death struggles. The slaughter of wild life, necessary perhaps in the wilds, or in the barren North to sustain life, has been exploited and made a tiding of amusement. The keen struggle for existence between various types of life has been porirayed in all its stark realism for the benefit of the box office. Bullfights have been portrayed. Whole herds of lions have been destroy“THE FLEET’S IN” As a contribution to the splurge of' American artists a picture was hung in the navy department called “ Phe Fleet’s In.” It shows our jolly sailors out for a lark with frisky ladies. Of course that thing has been talked about ever since George Washington helped to create the American navy. But the picture was a terrible shock to some of the adrrtirals, who said sailors didn’t misbehave like that. So the picture was banished. Just another case of the advisability of telling the truth at all times, even with an artist’s brush and paint.

should go, industry perhaps should be given a less shackled hand in the management of its own affairs. The Blue Eagle movement arose out of emergency, and when i the emergency has passed, the 1 control which conditions made necessary, undoubtedly w-ill cease or be modified, with perfect concord among all parties concerned. The real issue at present involved seems to be whether or not the time for a little wing-clipping has arrived. Presumably, not even the strongest advocates of government control would care to state that, regulation of business to the existing degree must be regarded

as a permanent institution.

The plans of Japan to assume I management in the affairs of the Eact, and in China in particular, have encountered a stumbling block, as might have been exjopected, and in the instance under ! consideration, the obstruction was laid by the State Department of the United States. The views of I the Department of State cannot be made more clear than by quoting them. “No nation can, without the assent of the other nations concerned, rightfully endeavor to make conclusive its will in situations where there are involved the i rights, the obligations and the legitimate interests of other sovj ereign states." It is not likely that 1 Japan will lay aside her ambitions to he the arbiter of Asiatic affairs in view of the American note, but j that document should be under- ! stood to mean that if Japan has any idea that she can go it alone ; in Chinese affairs ,she will have a rough and rugged road to travel.

Dumb—Or Just Hard of

Hearing?

One of the tragedies among school failures is the undiacovered tase of impaired hearing. Too often we have called a child slow or dumb without going to the trouble to test

his hearing.

Of course, there are those who are mentally deficient to varying degrees, but many children have been falsely labelled,

given up as hopeless, and forced out into life with a minimum of schooling when their only handicap to development wag inability to

hear well.

Such children show inattention 4H lack of interest. They are usually slow in executing commands or they make no move to obey. They frequently ask to have questions repeated. They may speak indistinctly, and the voice seems to lack expreesion or the note of interest. A turning of the head, as if strainiag to hear, is common. Thus, in all eases of failure at school or seemingly mental dullness, it is advisable to consult an ear specialist before discouragement and loss of
