"Newspaper neurasthenia" is th al
literative designation given by the Mov

prejudice, venom and misrepresenta
tion toward the "moving picture" exhib

discussion of the prize-fight films. "As

of education and intelligence, but it real

in the Moving-Picture World's columns
' as to ''Which is the more moral, the
church or the moving picture?" We

amusement which "keeps thousands
and thousands of theatres open, gives
employment probably to 100,000 people,
amuses millions and forma the raisnn

Taft Trying to Organize .Business
System for Expediency and
" Economy.
Washington, D. C, August 6. -the
gigantic task of establishing modern
buBineaa "system" in the. government
departments was begun today.' , ,
, A century on mouldy but honorable
precedence is to be torn away, ff Presi
dent Taft can carry out his Intentions.
The preparation of the scheme was be
gun with an investigation into methods
of operation in the treasury department
by Arthur Young and Company, one of
the four firms of business experts in
structed by President Taft to study
conditions in the departments, - ' '
, From general site-up of the situa
tion, it was stated today . that , the fol
lowing are some of the elementary re
forms' Which 1 will probably -be sug
gested: y:',-'':-;'r?'-'''- S''y?:i'?
The consolidation of ail buying under
one bureau with the creation of a pur
chasing division foe H the departments
so that each department in' the future
will order through a 'requisition upon
this division "which will bsTconducted
upon a business like system.'
. The creation of a "routing bureau"
to facilitate the transfer of supplies
from one part of the country to another
and to ensure the cheapest and shortest
routing for government goods. '
The establishment of a record ser
vice and efficiency for all clerks. This
will be a forerunner of the elimination
of superannuated clerks. ; A powerful
movement will be made , at the next
session of congress to create a pension
system-ior the old employes. - . '
These are only a few of the reforms
that are to.be instituted.; Some are
possible by executive order, and they
wil be put into effect at the earliest
possible moment. The remainder will
be submitted to congress.

A thirty-minute schedule between

to let the l acing machine alone.

Southern railroad will put on a train to
leave Washington at 7 a. m., arriving
