Just think how interesting it would be now if we could look at a film of the funeral of Tutankhamen. Every day in New York and elsewhere, there are being exhibited newsreels, some of which recording the life and customs of the present day, would make invaluable historical records for future generations. Even the comedy films like those of Charlie Chaplin and Ben Turpin might be worth preserving to show our descendants in days to come the kind of things their ancestors used to laugh at. ,WIiile the government in Washington has preserved some films of the war, so far as I know, no plans are in operation for the preservation of general films, although in England the matter is now being agitated. It has been pointed out over there that while the British museum has fifty miles of shelves for books, thus far not an inch is reserved for films, which tell history letter than books. Just how long the ordinary motion pic- ture fNm will last remains to be seen, but it is a fact that positives have been made from negatives at least twenty-fiv- e years old.

Wine of alcoholic content has been abolished altogether for sacramental purposes in several California cities because of abuses. In Los Angeles the Kehillah, an organization which represents Jewish synagogues; has passed a resolution requesting all Jewish congregations to withdraw permits to sell wine issued to rabbis. Henceforth grape be for sacrawill substituted juice mental purposes, the highest authorities on Jewish religion in America and Europe having decided wine is not essential. Dr. Mayer Winkler, rabbi of Sinai congregation, Los Angeles, has taken a leading part in the movement to eliminate wine from the Jewish religious service, declaring there are a number of irresponsible persons who have assumed the title of rabbi to circumvent the law. Men who have been arrested l.v federal agents ( harged with the illegal sale of wine, and who have declared themselves rabbis, will not henceforth be recognized as such, said Dr. WinkI er. It is incompatible with the rabbinate for a rabbi to deal in unlawful commodities. There are pending in the federal court several cases involving men who termed themselves rabbis, and who are said to have used the title her hotel in New York for the erection of a $5,000,000 house in Brookline, apartment Mass., until she was arrested on the charge ofM. forging the name of Charles gcliwab. manufacturer, to a note for $25,000. were the authorities Recently checking isp Manvillefe remarkable story in the belief that it may lead directly to a band of confidence men and women preying on rich business men.

Every recorded decision of a court is more or less of a legal precedent. It is estimated that during 1922 nearly 200,000 pages of the reports and discussions of the courts were added to the of American legal precedent. This undigested already large-masand indigestible mass of authority orUwhich the law rests is an intolerable evil. The consequent uncertainty of the law is a principal cause of the laws delays and of the miscarriage of justice. According to William Draper Lewis, professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania, the director of the institute, it is not proposed to adopt the restatement as a code of procedure, as that would tend to'make it too rigid, thus losing the desirable features of flexibility and fullness in the present common law. The successful achievement of the object of the institute will be a boon to the legal profession of the United States and cannot fail to be of benefit to the laymen who are obliged occasionally to have ' ARE YOU LOOKING FOR JUST GLASSES?
