Houston, Tex, Nov. 1S.-The strike
of operating employees Of the South

lana was ended when the railroads
yielded to demands of the men to

GOOD IN MOVING PICTURES"
Philadelphia Physician Uses Them for
the instruction Of the Students
Under Him.

In Philadelphia moving pictures are
expressions in cases OF nervous dis
eases. DR. T. II. Weisenburg a we'll
known neurologist OF that city, is
quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer as
saying that no development In recent
years has been of so much value as
the use of moving pictures in medical
teaching. The usual method pursued
by this physician is to frat lecture on
his topic, which may be epilepsy, and
then to show n reel containing speci-
actually portrays man having fit.
The physician maintains that the
moving picture is the only way OF
keeping a permanent record OF symp-
toms In rare cases. thus providing the
only record which can be sent from
place to place and reproduced hun
dreds of times with the same effect as
though the original extremely rare
case was being viewed.
The pictures also furnish In the
case of certain kind OF epileptio
spasm. where movement is extreme

cause the operator can slow up the
machine. lessening the speed OF the
film and thus allowing recognition OF
the movements in their slow form that
