There was considerable controversy in I} oß * oll when Mayor Nichols barred the film from the screens of the Boston theaters. At the same time Mayor Ralph Bauer of Lynn, Mass., who also viewed the picture, took the opposite position and hot only perinited the producers to show the film in Lynn but stated thut the film would be of considerable bene fit to a community wherever it is shown. In support of the Mayor of Lynn, over three hundred prominent clergymen and women representatives who viewed the film recently alt Tre mont Temple, Boston, wLah it was voted to do all in it* power to bring the film to Boston. The picture will be shown exclusively to women Mon day afternoon and night and Tuesday afternoon. In addition to "The Naked Truth,” the management will ruu special exclusive reels made for women audiences. Men and children under sixteen will be barred on account of the delicate subject and scenes; both audiences can not be admitted to gether. "The Naked Truth” is a powerful, straightforward drama of home life and strikes home to the aver age spectator and puts before him a theme in a frank and forcible way of the misdeeds of youth. Helen Chad wick and Jack Mulhull play the leads, supported by an unusual cast. This film Was recently shown in Chicago after the Circuit Court of that City overruled the censor board and per mitted its presentation. It ran there for over two months, receiving public approval. It is unlikely that the pic ture will be shown in this vicinity again as the film is never shown in other neighborhood or local theatres on account of its unusual presenat tion. It has not been decided whether or not mon will be permitted to see the film. < “GolfeFs Foot.” The Pathfinder. The latest orthopedic ailment is called "golfer's foot.” The symptoms are sharp pains in the . instep and calf of the leg. According to nr. Frank Furch, president of the Illi nois Association of Chiropodist*, the new aiiment is csqsed by extreme ex tension of the feet while the goa p ayer is in th'’ stance preparing to j strike the hall. This is said to put th j weight of the body on the arches of the feet, resulting in unnatural strain, which tends to break down h- a-rhrs and throw the feet out of 1 alignment.

Washington, Oct. 4.-*—A deep ad miration for *h« Cuban people am for the progress they have made as ; self-governing nation is said by Presi dent Coolidge's friSuds to be a movinj factor in bia desire to visit Havam next January when the Pan-American Congress meets there. Whether he actually can leave th United States for the five or six day> which the trip would require is entire ly dependent on how his work shape*- up around the first of thhe year. If is understood, however, that he hopes to get away. Should Mr. Coolidgs go to Havana his advisers contend he also would be paying a compliment to all of the republics of La tirf-America since these will havo delegates at the meeting which has as its purpose a discussion of all the problems whieh are commo: to all the nations of this hemisphere. It is believed probable that in case the President decides on the journey he would go by rail to Key West,Flor ida. and from there to Havana on a cruiser. He already has been invited by Senator Fletcher and Representa tive Yon. of Florida, to stop at Jacksonville, Miami, Tallahasaee and Pensacola, but these no doubt will be brief because the President is under stood to desire staying away from Washington not more than six days. If he doea go, it is said only one day would be spent at the Cuban capital. Now that the Summer sports ha > made thc:r extt tlio bowiers will b gin to do their stuff.
