tendon.—John Lonfden, (he
hero of EMrrr's new talk film.
•The Rood to Dishonor,” must
not kiss the heroine, Min An
na Wong, by order of the Brit
ish Board of Films Censors.
He may sit at her feet; sing
her a love sonir; touch her hand
with his lip*; even clasp her in
his arms. But klm her, no.
And all because Miss Wong Is
really Chinese. Were she a white
girl made up as a Chinese, John
could kiss her to his—or the pro
ducer’s—heart’s content. But the
Him Censors prohibit what U call
ed "parti-colored kiselng."
In the Illm, Mr. Longden. woo
b English, plays the part of a
handsome Russian officer who Is
madly In love with a Chinese girl
played by Miss Wong. He says;
"it Is utterly and completely ab
surd. I have only been told of the
ban. I do not know the terms of
the rule. Apparently It allow*
everything In screen love-making ex
cept kissing on the lips.
"This Is typical of certain Eng
lish standards of morality. Tf a
Chinese girl Is allowed to play hi
films with a white man, why not
permit her to be made love to prop
erly? It Is farcical.”

a true disciple, a walking and ‘dik
ing testimony, humble enough in a
way—only a bagman—but never
theless a testimony to the influence
which America is exercising on
South Africa.
The causes of the war of indepen
dence and the story of the war It
self have naturally been of very
special interest to South Africa. In
this particular American and oouth
African history have much <n com
mon in regard to Independence,
both countries being Intimately con
nected with Great Britain at some
time. The Civil war Is another sub
ject with which South Africans ace
familiar, the great event formltg
the background of many popultv
novels.
it cannot be questioned that Am
erican history and literature have
played a great part in American In
fluence on 89UU1 Africa. Bluish
manufacturers have ever been dis
pose^ to the haughty attitude to
"take it or leave it” in regard to
their goods. America on the other
hand has for years studied the
country and its people, with the re
sult America first sells the i'.outn
African people what they wunt to
buy and finally what America
wants to sell.
America by her sympathetic busi
ness methods creates a demand,
which otherwise would not exist.
The car trade fbr instance has es
tablished the annual car fashion.
Car owners now feel self reipec
demands that cars be their latent
models. Although many car owirei s
cannot indulge this feeling < all
would like to. Every good Ame. loan
car in South Africa land there are
thousands! apart from ordinary
work as a vehicle, is working in the
service as American influence In
South Africa. The same apoiics ,0
American agricultural Implements
as applies to American cars. The
American Implement manufacturers
studied local conditions and pushed
the trade with suitable goods.
The result is the majority of
farming machinery is from tnc
States, all helping to sire .gthen
American influence. South \frican
agriculture owes much to America
The results of American agricultur
al research work are closely follow
ed. Lessons learned in America arc
put into practice in South Africa
with often markedly beneficial re
sults. South African students of
agriculture make a practice of gain
ing American experience at fh st
hand, and in consequence 'armers
in South Africa are familiar with
all branches of American farm piac
tlce.
Apart from possessing American
cars and Implements, these farm
ers demonstrate to a considerate
degree the effect of American in
fluence.
South Africa resembles A merit a
In not having a homogeneous copu
lation. As the two countries have
certain other features in common,
it follows that social problems af
fecting America are likely to ha\c
a special interest for South Africa.
An instance of this is the greifc ex
periment of prohibition which Am
erica has undertaken in receiv
years. South Africa has followed thu
history of the prohibition move
ment with the keenest interest
Much has been learned in conse
quence of American political r.eth
ods, domestic politics. politicians
and American life itself. America's
influence in regard to prohibition
has undoubtedly affected Soutn
Africa to a considerable degree, and
many a South African has go.to
without a desired drink on the
strength of America's influence in
this direction.
America has not achieved her
not inconsiderable influence on toe
minds of South Africa's people by
design. It happened that her his
tory and her literature Iwve a spe
cial appeal, her business method?
proved congenial and her good*
suitable. All these factors, combin
ed with America's great position in
the world, fully account for her in

possible suggestion of "peaceful
penetration” to mar the pie win.;
situation which America jeeupkv.

YOUNG CUIUS
! ON INCREASE NOW
Ffttr Offenders In Large Cities j
Than In .Small Ones, Census I
Bureau Finds
Washington, Nov. 30—A census
report issued today shows that the
ratio of young criminals is increas
ing, smaller cities have more crimes
than larger ones, and the lack of
homes ties tends to promote lav
breakers.
Persons between 15 and 34 yea’s !
of age made up 73.0 per cent of the |
prison commitments in 1923; where
as citizens of these ages const it.iter.’
only 49.7 percent of the general
population. In many cases, unsatis
factory home conditions were indi
cated as causes. The census bureau
has made a careful survey of the
prisoners' antecedents for 1923 and
found that cities with population
from 300 000 up have fewer com
mitments to prison than others.
More In Small Cities. ’
Cities of from 23.000 to 100,000
show the highest commitment ratio,
28.6 per 100,000 but they are Just
slightly above places with from 2,
500 to 10,000. According to the cen
sus report cities of 10,000 to 25 000
are the best behaved.
Crime was found more prevalent
in the city than in the country.
"Of the total number of prison
ers for whom the location of crime
was reported,” it is pointed out, “77.8
per cent were imprisoned for crimes
committed in urban places, and
rural sections were the scene of only
22.3 per cent of the crimes. Urban
places show a commitment ratio for
each 100,000 of poulation of 25.1 ar
against the rural ratio of 7.<i.”
tr omrn wntnnrn in tltj,
The census report added that the
commitment, ratio according to sex
shows a greater disparity for fe
male than for males between the
urban and rural commitments
ratios.
“For females," it said ."the com
mitment ratio was 3.7 for urban
places, as against a rural ratio of
0.5”.
Census bureau agents found that
prisoners are migratory, moving
from community to community. Ed
ucation, it is stated, is a deterrent
for crime. The commitment ratio is
about three times as high for the
illiterate as for the college group.
“These figures." declared the bu
reau report, “afford no support to
the sensational statements frequent
ly made in recent years to the ef
fect that education, and especially
college education, tends to promote
crime.”

Gorilla’s Origin
And Man’s Apart
Says A Scientist
Dr. f.’oolld*r. Of Harvard. Shows
Apf-Bmw Never Inhabited
More Than Fraction Earth.
Cambridge, Mass.—The scientific
quest to learn whether man and
gorillas may have had a common
ancestor Is simplified by facts pub
lished In a monumental gorilla study
at Harvard university.
The publication explodes former
beliefs that there are 18 different
species of gorillas, and finds that
there is only one.
The gorilla studies were made by
Dr. Harold J. Coolidge, jr„ assirt
ant curator of mammals at the
museum of comparative zoology.
They are based on measurements
of skulls and other bones of mars
of the 800 gorilla skeletons scat
tered through museums all wr
the occidental world. Dr. Coolidge
devoted nearly a page to naming
the scientific men and institutions
In Europe and the United States
who put scientific materials at his
disposal.
X-rays were used to make come
of the measurements. Many individ
ual differences are described, and
Dr. Coolidge concludes that the ape
family is divided Into two sub-spe
cies. One which lives In the forests
of the African west coast he calls
the gorilla gorilla gorilla, and the
other, living In the volcanic Kivu
mountains of eastern Congo Is the
gorilla gorilla berlngei. For short
they are named the coast and the
mountain gorillas.
The study shows for the first time
how limited is the territory occu
pied by gorillas, 40,000 square miles,
with a forest belt 750 miles wide
separating the cost and the moun
tain dwellers. No evidence of con
nection between the two ape 'rlbr.s
Is found. No gorillas are known
elsewhere in the world. A fact whi"h
Is contrary to scientific records of
nearly all other animals, which like
