NEEDED NO SECOND LESSON

Moving Picture Screen Sure to Have Lasting Effect on Mothers Who Witnessed It There was a groan of protest at the opening of the Child Welfare ex-

hiblt in the downtown Italian quarter of New York. The rooms of the Children’s Aid society were crowded with women and children when the cinematograph

threw upon the screen a picture of a baby’s bottle with rubber nipple standing upon a table. Plies buzzed around it, settled upon it, crawled over it. Then the canvas showed an enlargement of a fly, and its feet were seen to be covered with filth and the pullulating germs of all disease. In a flash the bottle reappeared; a pretty woman holding a darling baby arrived in the picture, picked up the bottle and put the nipple into the baby’s mouth. And the women present cried out in indignation. The lesson had been taught.
