The city of Austin and the county of Travis have responded
nobly to the call of Uncle Sam for men to do the actual fighting
in the war for democracy. Some of the boys are in France,
others in the army camps, in the reserve corps, on the high
seas, in the coast artillery—everywhere and anywhere in the serv-
ice of the nation. Austin American wants the name and ad-
dress of nearest relatives for a file, which will be kept to furnish
any necessary information which may come over the wires. In
many cases, for instance, Travis county boys have received pro-
motion, and their-names have been listed. With a proper file
the people of the county can be apprised of the fact. The record
will be for use only in the editorial department and will be kept
as carefully as possible. It will be a big aid in determining the
splendid patriotic spirit of the boys of the city.
In a few cases at least some women are also serving the
government with the ambulance corps, or at base hospitals in
America and abroad. The names of these women will also be

the B. I. M. I. T. association. Sev-

The government has appointed
special advisory boards to advise the

excess profits tax, but Texas to the
first state to hold a meeting of this
tion. The various happenings,
volving a young bridal couple
above others have a universal appeal
to the -oun*. Almost invariable the
first to arise in the minds of children
and those who follow them to “Jack
and the Beanstalk,” and this Mr. Fox
has chosen for the beginning of this
work. It is generally recognized to
be the most famous fairy tale in the
language, and it lends itself wonder-
fully to picturization. But to carry
out the best conception of the p an to
give the children all to which they are
entitled the flood gates had to be
opened. A diminutive city was built
for them and a zreat castle for the
giant. Thirteen hundred children
were involved in the cast. Of course
there to a beautiful princess and Jack,
both of the size that fits into the tra-
ditional conception of their size and
age. The royal court and the army
are all made up of very little folk,
and only the giant, who is a giant in
fact, and a few parents are grown
people.
This to the beginnng of the chil-
dren's moving pictures, and it is sure
to be an epoch-making event in the
world of the films and among chil-
dren and those who have their inter-
ests at heart. Among the moving pic-
tures that will follow in this series
are "Babes in the Woods.” “Treasure
Island," “Aladdin and the Wonderful
Lamp.” and others. Mr. Fox has car-
ried out in these. and all that will
come after, the primary idea of hav-
in* them acted by children and for
the enjoyment of children. It is un-
questionably the case, however, that
those things that are done for chil-
dren. and well done, have an enor-
mous appeal to people of every age.
After a conference between A. C.
Goeth, the Austin director of the
Buy It Made in Texas association,
and A. 8. Walker, collector for the
third revenue district of Texas (com-
priaing almost the entire state), Gus
W. "“omneson, secretary- manage r of
the Buy It Made in Texas ansocin-

Children have long enjoyed their

have had their own art and music. It
is certainly proper that they should
have their own moving pictures, for
they are among the. chief patrons of
the films, and few would have the
hardihood to attempt to deny them
