BY ANTI-PLAGUE WORKERS Tin* proclamation of Mayor Robert F. Maddox, of Atlanta, commending the action of the City Federation of Wom en's <*Iuh« In setting apart Thursday for "cleaning’day,” h«H met with the Instant and hearty approval of the Atlanta men and women now hard at work pushing the publicity campaign of the coming Antl-Tuty*reulosJit ex hibit and lecture course. • # • This ' clcaiilng day business Is a great thing,” stated one % enthusiastic worker at headquarters * Wednesday. "It’s n long step tn the right direction, from our point of view. And our point of view, as everybody In this city will know In less than two weeks. Is that cleanliness Is the greatest of allies In combating tuberculosis cohdltfons. "Dirt In itself J« not a cause of con sumption. Rut It la extremely favor able to the breeding, preserving and. spreading«of the germs that cause the disease. Without filth, the germs of tuberculosis could find scant resting place and would soon become extinct. Hence, the greater degree of cleanli ness maintained In an office, a home or a city, the smaller chance la there for the propagation of the dlseaae germs and the spreading of the disease. “Cleanliness is said to toe next to godliness. There may be much truth In that saying. Rut I believe there la more solid truth In the phrase. 'Clean liness and tuberculosis are deadly ene mies.' ” Vlanly To Oppose Beveridge. LaPorte, Ind., April 8.—Friend* of former governor Frank Hanly today said the announcement would soon be made of his candidacy for United States senator against Albert Beve ridge. Posey Is Showing Biblical Pictures Thursday. "The Kiss of Judas." a Pathe film of unusual Interest, Is being shown at the Posey Thursday afternoon and night. The motion pictures depicting the scene In (he life of Christ are peculiarly ap propriate for holy week. Among the company of artists who appeared before the camera In the pre* ductlon of "The Kiss of Judas" was Al bert Lajnbert and Paul Mounet-Sully, actors of distinction. With talent of this character and the well-known per fection of the Pathe pictures we have a combination of undoubted strength. The result proves the wisdom of this course. The opening scene of "The Kiss of Judas" shows the Interior of the house of the disciple Mark, where Christ has come with His disciples to partake of the Last Supper—the sacred feast of the Passover. M. Lambert was select ed to depict the role of the Man of Sor rows. and his Is an Impressive por trayal. Great painters have given us conceptions of the Christ, the gentle man of love, weighed with the sorrows of the world, but no effects of paint and canvas can possibly equal the character study of .V. Lambert. It Is doubtful If Pathe FVeres could have made a better selection. The ertlst has npproached his subject with evident sympathy and veneration. In scenic and costume effects every detail has been worked out with the customary exactness which character- lies the productions of Pathe Freree. The posing throughout Is most rever ential a* Is due a subject of such sac%d moment. Ae a picture, It Is splendid: but It Is more than a picture;'It Is a sermon, and one can not see It without feeling that they have gained a deeper knowledge of a most holy event.
