none of them have been quite as perfect
as the English invention is said to be by
those who have seen it in action.
The projection machine used Is OF an
ordinary type, but has an attachment con-
sisting of an electric clutch and power
full brake These are operated by micro
phone so sensitive that the report or a
rifle causes il to close a circuit. This
makes the picture stop instantly for a
moment. and a spot of light, appearing
where the bullet has struck, shows
whether or not the marksman has scored
a hit The screen is Of paper in three
thicknesses. ana the bullet hole is illum-
mated by lights from behind. An In
genious arrangement OF the paper In the
screen makes it possible TO use the same
strips for hundreds of shots.
The feature which British army officers
are particularly pleased with in the pict-
ure target is that quick sighting and mr.

that there is no question of trajectory or

MASTER MIND" AT THE STRAND.

The principal attraction at the Strand
Theatre for this week Is tho Iasky pro-
duction Of THE Master Mind" with Ed
mund Breese In his original role. AS
stage production the play met with con-
siderable success last season, and IL Is
attractive in this motion picture version
The Master Mind is one OF the cycle
OF crook PLAYS with which New York
was deuged about two years ago. IL
points no moral, deals with no problem
and has no reason for existence aside
from its sheer entertainment value. This
however is considerable. On the screen
IL is possible TO introduce considerable
amount OF mysterious stun in the line or
secret entrances, exits and other equip
ment OF the well established crook, which
could not be used on the stage.
Mr.. Breese handles his part quite as
well as he did on the stage. He is sup
ported by a good company There are
portions OF the play which are trifie
dull. but that is due TO the difficulties OF
transferring scenes having little action
from the stage TO the silent medium or
the film
The comedy, topical and musical pro-
gramme will also be new, and will In
clude the latest Keystone farce.

THE WAR PICTURES.

The Battle Of Torreon" pictures con-
tinue this week at the Lyric Theatre. SO
many motion pictures have been shown In
which war stories have been illustrated by
sham battles fought as no battle Is ever
fought nowadays that persons or fairly
good sense have actually been encountered
who thought the villa pictures lacking In
realism. AS a matter OF fact, they are
nothing but realism. and of the most con-
vlncing kind. True, there are no closeup
views Of man ramming bayonet down
another mans throat. such as one sees In
the fiction war pictures, but there arc
scenes showing real fighting as II is done
now. The films are an important achieve
ment.
THE Life Of General Villa" which Is
shown in connection with the battle
scenes. is an interesting drama.
More war pictures will soon be avail
able. as the Mutual camera men are still
with Villas army. and will get anything
that happens.

Sir Francis Blake. chairman OF the

He recently presided at the opening OF

his address he praised the influence OF
motion pictures very highly and stated
that the Aim theatre is notable feature
OF modern life and one Of great impor-

Another comment on the influence OF

cheap and entertaining pastime OF watch

they will do instead. When you are salts

and physically, and more comfortable
than picture halls, exclude them by all
means. ! am, however, inclined TO re-

So far as could be ascertained in Wash

dry goods merchants Of New York. does
not affect any banks or commercial in

been freely offered. in lots of not less
than 5000 or $4,000. in Washington.

One Washington banker today called
attention to the fact that the 5000 to

ASPUR|TY AGENTS
Suggestion to International
Convention Relating to
Teaching of Sex Hygiene.
PLAN is RECOMMENDED
| AS RELIGIOUS STRATEGY
Association of S. s. Workers to Meet
Next in New York City
in 1918.

CHICAGO, June 2s-The teaching Of
sex hygiene in Sunday schools was ap-
proved today in the report to the conven-
ton of International Sunday School As
sociations by E. K Mohr, superintendent
of the purity department.
Sex knowledge will be taught" said
Mr. Mohr: IF not in the home and in the
Sunday school. 1t will be taught in the
street. Silence Is criminal We cannot
remain inactive. We must teach these
facts and teach them right, SO that
knowledge may lead to purity and right
eousness.
with the new awakening and discus
sion of sex matters the pendulum has
swung from silence to a publicity that is
almost nauseatfng. Literature, the stage.
the newspapers, the movies have ex-
plotted the interest In the subject. The
endeavor to avoid false modesty may IN
the end break down the barriers Of real
modesty.
with the religious atmosphere and rev.
erent receptive attitude of the Sunday
school it is eminently fitted to bear the
message Of the knowledge that tends to
personal purity. 1t is the plainest re-
igious strategy"

Rev. H. NJ. Hamill Of Nashville, Tenn,
whose nomination yesterday for the

the Confederate Veterans.
The conve ntion today adopted rec

making its meetings quadrennial instead
of triennial. SO that the next meeting

change was made because the triennial

may make its session, quadrennial.
The convention formally approved the
committees selection OF New York as
the next meeting place. II was sug-
gested that not only was New YORK
but that for its own sake the convention
should be held the6e, where sunday

College Credit for BIBLICAL STUDY.
recommendation that colleges
should offer full credit for biblical
study was made in an address by Prof.
Charles F. Kent Of the Yale Divinity
School. He suggested that 500 chairs
on biblical study be established in
various schools, and said such teaching
would effect great good. which was
being lost through the trend toward in
tellectualism.
Prof. Kent suggested that for a
course in Bible study the first year be
devoted to it as history. the second as
religious literature, the third for the
messages of the prophets ana the
its teachings.
