outline below will give only a slight idea of the magnificence of this play house.
 The building front shows full dec- oration from the ground to the roof, embellished with plastic art and studded with electric lights, the effect of the exterior being one of extreme beauty both day and night. The outer | and inner lobby is finished In solid oak,
 with massive ornamental panels, rep resenting Greek dancing girls. On en- tering the main auditorium one will
 be filled with admiration at the rich finish, the massive paneling of the side
 walls and ceiling and the general ar
 tistic design of the whole. The interior ornamentations are In bold relief, the
 color scheme being carried out in green, old ivory and gold. The panel borders are done in old rose color. The corners of the ceiling panels are capped | with the monogram ot the Odeon the 1 atre.
 It would be well nigh impossible to
 describe the beautiful effect of the or | namentation and color blending of the Odeon. To say 1t Is the heighth of the decorators art expresses the idea but mildly. The programmes of the Odeon will consist of independent photo plays. I two brand new reels each day l No picture will be shown at the Odeon

 In very little case, the Interstate Com merce Commission has rendered a big de- csion. suburban electric railway from Washington to Mount Vernon has been ordered to reduce certain fares from 15 to 10 cents. Not very exciting, considering , that there are only 19 miles of the entire road
 But the commission ordered the reduc- tions on the sole ground that it found that the road should be valued at only s52,000 per mile, while 1t was capitalized at and earning returns upon s2o7, 900 a. mile. The commission characterized this ' as obvious overcapitalization, holding that the company was entitled to a fair return on the actual investment and no more, and so ordered reduction of 33 per cent . in rates.
 The precedent Is about as big as could possibly be established With its present powers over rates, the commission could adjust every freight rate in the land ac- cording to that reasoning and there Is reason to believe that it is making a pre- cedent with some such move in mind. The overcapitalization sponge never i, stood so good chance of squeeze, as E since this decision was rendered.

Has the veil of mystery that has so long shrouded the ancient sciences been raised at last? Can 1t be that a system has been perfected that reveals with reasonable accuracy the character and disposition of an individual, and so out lines the life as to assist in avoiding errors and taking advantage of oppor- tunities?

Letters are pour : ing into his office from all parts of the world telling of the benefits derived from his advice. Many of his patrons ]. look upon him as a man gifted with :. some strange, mysterious power but he . modestly asserts that what he accom- plishes is due alone to an understand . ing of natural laws.
 He is a man of kindly feeling to- ward humanity, and his manner and !. tone immediately impress one with his :. sincere belief. in his work.
