PLANS OUTLINED FOR CHILDREN'S MOVIES IN CITY P.-T. A. Representatives Meet With Members of Committee. Promotion plans for supervised children’s movies were outlined yesterday at a meeting at the home of Mrs. Harold Robinson, 151 East Hampden drive. Meeting with ths committee from the Elizabethan Club of All Souls Unitarian church, where the idea for children's movies originated, were representatives from Parent-Teacher organizations of Orchard school, Park school, Tudor Hall, School 66, School 86, School 70, School 43, Crooked Creek school, and Alpha lota Latreian. The first, of the supervised movies was shown last week at the Ritz and Uptown theaters. Books of tickets have been sold through Parent-Teacher organizations for ten performances. The tickets are interchangeable, and may be used either by adults or children. "In the Orchard school, because of the smaller number of pupils there, we have been able to notice a definite effect upon children of frequent movie attendance,’’ Mrs. Guy A. Wamwright, representative of the Orchard school said. ’Because of this effect, we know' that it is essen- j tial that our children see only movies 1 which not only will be harmless, but will give them good ideas.’’ A motion was adopted at yesterday's meeting to contact directors of underprivileged children, giving them an opportunity to see the course of movies which are to be shown in the two neighborhood theaters. Gifts of books of tickets will be made these groups from various organizations and schools. The tickets are to be sold at a small profit through clubs and organizations. Profits from the sale of bocks of tickets at the Orchard school will be turned into other tickets to be donated to children who are unable to purchase them. The committee will meet each Monday morning for several weeks to perfect plans for the continuation cf the movies. Meeting with Mrs. Lehman Dunning, Mrs. Harold Robinson and Mrs. Gretchen Welliver of the Elizabethan Club, yesterday morning were Mesdames Guy Wainwright, Severin Buschmann, Woodruff Randolph, Theodore B. Griffith, Paul T. Hurt, William E. Gabe, John A. Mueller, C. B. Blakeslee, C. O. Page and Walter L. Shirley. BEER TANK PERFECTED Huge Glass-Lined Cask Used by Milwaukee Firm.

CHAPTER V The Spiritual Adventure of the Reformers IT is not surprising while we were conquering this continent that we had so few leaders or spokesmen who in any way resembled the prophets. The problems of social justice previous to ISOO were not complicated in this country. There were plenty of grafters in high places, but their grafting did not press heavily on the people because there was always chance of escape to the free land of the frontier. Today, however, we have the problem of learning to live with each other and with the rest of the woild. The United States has not yet worked out any method for defining justly the relationship between the farmer, the laboring man and the industrialist. The difficulties of malting these adjustments are very great because of the lack of understanding on the part of the people, and this lack will not be dispelled until there have been recurring periods of suffering provoking great emotion and desire for understanding. Such periods of stress and strain will undoubtedly bring forward strong men who will attempt to define the issues.

The stage is being set for a social battle astonishingly similar to that which raged in Judah and Israel from the time of Solomon until Judah went into captivity. It must be remembered that when the prophets werp actually living, they had no thought that their sayings would eventually become a part of a revered Bible. They were flesh-and-blocd men concerned with the affairs of the times. I trust we shall never have to have a prophet like Elisha. who stirred up John to bloody revolution. And in this connection, it is interesting to note that Jehu formed a compact with the Rechabites, the communists of that day. who in their hatred of commercial civilization, had returned to the simple life and had vowed under no circumstances, to own land. Yes, I trust that we shall not need Elishas and Jehus and Rechabites to cure the evils of this civilization by causing the blood to flow in the streets. But we will think more fervently and vigorously than most of our leaders have hitherto. We need thinking equal in vigor to that of the prophets if we are to define with sufficient clearness the issues on which decisions are necessary if this nation is not to wallow helpless in world affairs like a ship without a rudder. The great lesson of the prophets, it seems to me, is their intensity of conviction that there is something behind the material which is supremely worthwhile, which guides us ip our handling of material things. a tt a THE reformers of the sixteenth century are astonishingly like the prophets who lived twentyfive hundred years earlier. They did not say, "Thus sayeth the Lord,” but they spoke with equal conviction, and it is evident from their actions that such men as John Calvin and John Knox felt just as deeply, and were prepared to suffer just as much, for their convictions as Amos, Isaiah or Jeremiah. Like their earlier prototypes, they were attacking a powerful, intrenched priesthood. Undoubtedly, many of the evils and blessings of our present-day civilization trace to these men of iron who determined to seek God in,their own way, no matter how much trouble they caused easygoing contemporaries. In these men we find the origin

of the rugged individualism which was so highly prized during the Century of Progress. Against the background of their day, the reformers were perhaps as significant as the prophets. But it happens that we have many of the details of the daily life of these men and we know their weaknesses as well as their strong points as human beings. After studying them in an unprejudiced way, no one can deny their tremendous significance. The whole world, including, the Catholic church, is different because of these men. It takes a long while to get out from under the shadow of a tremendous emotional conflict following suffering and the shedding of blood. Once prejudices are born, people tend to cherish them long after the need for them has passed away. As an illustration, one of my friends left his home in southern Virginia this spring to come to Washington. A few days ago his father, a Virginia gentleman of the old school, came to Washington and asked his son for a judgment as to the most beautiful piece of architecture around Washington. His son replied, “The Lincoln Memorial.” The father meditated over this for a full day and then said to the son’s wife, “There are too many Yankees around Washington, my dear, you must see that our boy gets safely back home without too many northern ideas.” The causes which led to the Civil war were superficial phenomena compared to those which produced the Reformation. The warfare and the shedding of blood which grew out of the Reformation ideas lasted for nearly two hundred years. It is not surprising, therefore, that this tremendous conflict should cast a shadow vvhich even today obscures the vision of both Protestants and Catholics as they attempt to assess the true character and contribution of the reformers.

March 30.—Commercial and professional photographers now may have a photo flooa lamp which will give better results in black and white photography and result in more natural reproduction of colored subjects. The new lamp, according to J. H. Kurlander. engineer of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, is to be known as the Mazda Photoflcod Lamp No. 4. The new lamp is similar to the 300-watt Mazda general lighting lamp, except that its filament operates at an extremely high temperature. Thus the proportion of blue rays in its light is increased over that found now in the standard lighting lamp, Kurlander explained. Erosion has changed the surface of the earth more than the combined effects of earthquakes, volcanoes. tornadoes, landslides and glaciers.

The Germans abroad will know by then for the first time in history that only their bodies are abroad, their souls being with the Germans in the reich and that all Germans abroad and at home are united in the eternal communion of fate of German men created by Adolph Hitler.” Parked Car Looted Clothing valued at $25, and $35 cash were taken from two parked cars yesterday by thieves.

BANK CLOSINGS ARE FEWEST IN THIRTEENYEARS Unofficial Statistics Show Result of Financial Rehabilitation. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 30.—Fewer bank closings than at any time in thirteen years was the record revealed today by the nation's rehabilitation banking system. Unofficial statistics showed less than twenty-five banks of small size and not participants in the federal government’s bank deposit insurance corporation closed during the first three months of 1934. This compares with the peak of 3,500 banking institutions which closed last year and failed to reopen. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1932. Comptroller of Currency J. F. T. O'Connor reported 2,430 bank

closings although some subsequently reopened. Summary Shows Closings Bank closings in the years ended June 30 since 1920 together with deposits of the institutions at the time of closing are shown in the following summary: Yer Ended Number Total June 30 of Banks Deposits 1920 47 $ 20.725.000 1921 358 162.283.000 1922 465 162.147.000 1923 374 102.233.000 1924 542 270 075.000 1925 603 162.701.000 1926 638 1 77.79 6 000 1927 1.013 255,176.000 1928 505 144110,000 1929 576 162 534.000 1930 765 345 013.000 1931 1.555 1.087 314.000 1932 2.430 1,751.002 000 *1933 3,500 (Unavailable! ♦ 1934 25 (Unavailable! •Calendar vtar. ♦First quarter.

teen years and most of them in a few institutions which were not able to qualify for participation in the federal deposit insurance corpora- • tion. A variety of reasons are ascribed ! to the almost complete cessation of banking difficulties. They include: 1. Effects of the government insurance of deposits. 2. Higher securities, commodity and real estate values which have aided banks in liquidating slow assets. 3. Recovery in business conditions which has caused the public to re- . tume more normal banking relations. 4. More than a billion dollars of reconstruction finance corporation money poured into banks to strengthen capital. 3. Increased supervision through ! the federal deposit insurance corpoj ration. 6. A heavy return flow of hundreds of millions of dollars from hoarding into legitimate banking channels.
