Oregon Law Interpreted.

A dispatch from Salem, Ore, says that
an Informal opinion on the republican
primary last Friday expressed by Attor-
ney General A. NJ. Crawford holds that
Theodore Roosevelt is not entitled to the
vote of the full Oregon delegation to the
national convention.
Mr.. Crawford is quoted as saying that
under the Oregon law 1t Is not incumbent
upon all delegates to support a certain
candidate unless that candidate receive a
majority Of his party's primary vote.
In case of a plurality only, as on last
Friday, the opinion holds that the dele

Good Stretch at Laurel.

A good road will be built through Lau-
rel, sufficient funds having been set aside
for this to make it one Of the best
stretches on the entire boulevard. The
bridge over Paint branch will be re-
located and Strengthened and will be
built Of concrete, the old iron bridge be-
ing removed.
The section through Hyattsville and
Bladensburg will be put in good shape.
1t is now in bad order. particularly that
part which lies in Bladensburg. This
section was improved under the state
aid law in 1905, but has been practically
ruined by the Washington. Spa Springs
and .Gretta railroad, which has put its
tracks on 1t, and, 1t is said, has failed to
comply with the conditions of the permit
under which the tracks were allowed to
be laid.
It is hoped by the commission to have
the road completed from Baltimore to
Washington by next fall.

\ AN you imagine a more effec-
tive way OF spreading before
. the public the gospel OF fresh

air n the need of funds for
fighting tuberculosis h a the moving
picture show? The promoters of the
warfare on the white plague could
not think Of one, so they made arrange
ments for telling visitors of the pic
ture shows how best to guard them
selves and their loved ones.
The method Is simple. The National
Association For the Study and Preven-
ton of tuberculosis got a well known
author, James Oppenheim. poet and
writer OF stories, to tell in a simple
moving picture scenario, or story, a
tale OF a successful fight against a case
of tuberculosis. Then the association
employed the actors and actresses of
a well known company to pose before
the camera, so that their doings were
recorded on the narrow strips of film.
The company is to supply the film to
the agencies. and these in turn will
supply ii to the exhibitors.
A feature of the exhibition OF the
anti-tuberculosis moving picture play
Is the impetus given to the sale of the
Red Cross seals. or stamps. by means
OF which funds are raised each year.
before and during the holiday season.
for the warfare on consumption. The
seals. which cost a cent apiece, are af-
fixed to letters and other mail matter.
The title Of the play and its leading
note is Hope" The story. as portray
ed by Mr.. ~Oppenheim. tells Of a young
banker in a little New York town. His
name Is John Harvey, and he has a
~bookkeeper named Wells, with whose
daughter. Edith. Harvey is in love. A
few weeks before the holiday season
Harvey is asked to engage in a tuber-
culosts campaign in his town, to form a
committee to sell Red Cross Christmas
seals and to work for the erection Of a
local sanitarium. He shows the ma
terial to his old bookkeeper. and the
two men laugh at the idea that a coun-
try district need engage In such a
fight Careless and unthinking. Wells
puts soms OF the pamphlets in his
pocket and forgets the incident
Meanwhile Edith is trying hard to
conceal from her father and lover the
annoying cough which she has devel-
oped M also the knowledge given her
privately by the old family physician
that she has tuberculosis. She strug-
giles hard against her love for Harvey
and her father. especially when the
banker shows her the new home which
he is building for them She Is about

Plates, not Films, Used.
Most news photographs of today are
taken on plates. The film camera has
been found to yield results not as sat-

OF course the plate itself must be

foiled by a plate hat "fogs" or spoils.
