Ravell's new process

OF color Photography may be d1stln-
guished as "a painters method" of
combining and using the camera and
brush to obtain all the painters quail
tiles" of good picture-color, tone,
texture, composition and correct draw
ing and this new method has COM
manded the serious attention and adj
miration of the art critic because 1t
required the technical training and
skill of the orthodox brush and pencil,
the results depending as much upon
the ability of the manipulation as the
quality of q painting depends upon the

Baseball scores were moro than

Norman blood" apologies to Tenny-
SOM in Chicago last week during that
painful neck-and-neck race between
Chicago and New York in the Ma
tional, and Chicago and Cleveland in
the American League, thousands of
staid business men greeting one an
other during the afternoon by asking
Whats the score?" Elevator opera
tors in office buildings conferred
earnestly with miNionaires as the
cages shot up and down, while they
both waited for news from the battle
fields. Messenger boys were called
into much-upholstered sanctums to re-
port the latest bulletin and get quar-
ter. 1t was period of tense anxiety

Ing best understood by the fact that
In nearly every state of the union
the fire insurance companies are made
the target for one to fifty-seven varie-
ties Of proposed legislation, most Of
1t being aimed at any mutual inter-
change of experience to enable each
company to adapt their rates to the
comparative hazard of the different
classes of property, "anti-compact"
bills, so-called. The fire losses in
recent years have been so enormous
that the insurance companies have
seen wiped out the profits of a score
OF years, mostly made in the invest
ment of big sums OF money in their
hands and not from underwriting
which has not been profitable. A
scientific readjustment of rates Ia their
goal, that and the enactment of laws
establishing the office of fire marshal
whose duty 1t will be to investigate
questionable fires and bring incendiar-

encouraged In recent years, according
