Movies Aid Physicians,

The movies have invaded even the sacred field of science. The latest up. to-the-minute discovery is the peculiar value of the movies in diagnosis. It was made several weeks ago by osteo. pathic physicians and will be demon. strated first at the worlds congress of osteopathic physicians, in Portland. Ore, the first week in August.
 At meeting of osteopathic physi. clans of the district, held at the home of Dr. Clara U. Little, Dr. Chester w Swope member of the board of trus. tees of the national association, ex. plained how Dr. J. Ivan Dufur, profes. sor of nervous diseases of the Phila. delphia College of Osteopathy, had be- come the latest hero of the movies. For more than four hours Doctor Du- fur and the movie men were locked in room with more than forty insane epileptics, waiting to snap just the right kind of fits. They also had many narrowing experiences.
 Moving pictures, it is predicted, will revolutionize the teaching of disease diagnosis, as these subjects can in no other way be so vividly presented to the student.

ILLUSTRATED BY C. D. RHODES

''It seems to be a remarkably lucra- tive enterprise" she smiled up at him. and was rewarded by a snort from Manning. Allison frankly guffawed. The balance of the sedate vestry was struck dumb by the impertinence.
 Gail felt the eyes of the Rev. Smith Boyd fixed steadily on her, and turned to meet them. They were cold. She had thought them blue; but now they were green! She stared back into them for moment, and a little red spot came into the delicate tint of her oval cheeks; then she turned deliber- ately to the marvelously beautiful big transept window. It had been de- signed by the most famous stained glass artist in the world, and it's sub- ject lent itself to A wealth of color. It was Christ turning the money changers out of the temple!

thought they were neither one aware of it They were glad that they were just living, and moving swiftly in the open air, glad that 1t was showing, glad that the light was beginning to Jade, that there were other vehicles in the park, that the world was such a bright and happy place; and they were quite pleased. too, to be to- gether.
 It was still light, though the electric lamps were beginning to flare up through the thin snow veil. when they rounded a rocky drive, and came in view of a little lookout house perched on hill
 "Oh!" called Gail, involuntarily put ting her hand on his arm. 'I want to go up there!"
 The work of Edward E. Allison was well-nigh perfection. He stopped the runabout exactly at the center of the pathway, and was out and on Calls side of the car with the agility of youngster after a robins egg. He
  helped her up the hill with great pleasure, but she was too nimble and too eager for that, and was in the lookout house several steps ahead of him.
 When she was quite finished with the view, and turned and went down the hill, one of her tiny French heels slid, and she might have fallen, had 1t not been for the ironlike arm which he threw back to support her. For just an instant she was thrown fairly in his embrace, with his arm about her waist, and her weight upon his breast; and, in that instant, the fire which had been smoldering in him all afternoon burst into flame. With 6 mighty repression he resisted the i'm pulse to crush her to him, and handed her to the equilibrium which she in stinctively sought, though the arm trembled which had been pressed about her. His heart sang, as h' helped her into the machine, ant sprang in beside her. He felt say age ioy in his strength as he started the car and felt the wheel under hi hard grip. He was young, younge than he had ever been in his boyhood strong, stronger than he had eve been in his youth. What worlds h. might conquer now with this nev blood racing through his veins. was as if he had been suddenly thrus into the fires of eternal life, and CT dowed with all the vast, irresistibl force of creation!

REASON FOR HIS BRAGGING
British Soldier Felt He Had to Lie About His Wonderful Deeds
 in the Field.

An officer was surprised one day when searching the letters of his de. tachment to read in one of them passage that was something like this:
 "We have just got out of shell-fire for the first time for two months. It has been a hard time. The Germans were determined to take our field bak, cry, but, by gee! we would not let them. We killed them in thousands '
 This was letter from one of the bakers to his wife. None of the de. tachment had been a mile from the base, and they had never seen a Ger. man, except as a prisoner. My friend knew the writer well, and could not help (although it was none of his bus1. ness) asking him why he told such terrible lies to his poor wife, The sol dier said:
 It's quite true what you say, but it's like this, sir. When my wife and the wives of the other men in the place where I live are talking 1t all over in the morning I couldn't think to let her have nothing to say and the others all Dragging about what their men had done with the Germans, That's the way of it, sir. r."-ManchesteI Guardian.

 "I've allowed two million for the profit of Market Square church iD dealing with me-" stated Allison, again proffering the envelope which no one made a move to take. "I will not pay a dollar more."

BURIED ALIVE IN

ALLEGED MURDERER POINTS GUT SPOT WHERE CRIME oc-
 CURED AND BODY FOUND.
CRIME EXPOSED BY WIDOW
Claims Tragedy Enacted in May, 1914, and Kept Secret Due to Fear -Son-in-LaW Named, Who Is
 Said to Have Confessed.

Batavia, N. Y.-Luigi Matroni was buried alive in the cellar of his home near Corfu in May, 1914. His body was trampled into @ newly made grave while he still begged for mercy, according to a story told by his widow to District Attorney Coon. Antonio Boliva, the alleged murderer, pointed out the spot where the crime occurred and body was found which Mrs. Ma troni identified as that of her hus- band. Boliva has confessed, the dis. trict attorney said.
 Boliva, who Is Mrs. Matronis son. -inlaw, is serving a six months term in the Monroe county penitentiary for a stabbing affray Mrs. Matroni came here from Syracuse to tell the story of the murder, which, she declared, was witnessed by her and her young son, Charles. Her long silence, she said, was due to fear of Boliya. When she learned he was in prison she felt safe to tell.
 Mrs. Matroni said that her husband was felled by a blow from a pickax handle wielded by Boliva. He was knocked unconscious, but revived be- fore the grave had been dug in the eel lar. He pleaded with Boliva for mercy just before he was thrown into the pit and trampled under the ground, she declared.
 After hearing the woman's story District Attorney Coon and Sheriff Ed gerton took Boliva to the farm where the Matronis formerly lived. Boliva at first denied knowledge of the mur- der, but later District Attorney Coon said he confessed and told the men where to dig. They found the body under nine feet of earth. The house had been torn down ahd the cellar filled in after the MatroniE moved away.
 Boliva killed Matroni, he told the district attorney, because after his maria, to Matronis step-daughter she told him Matroni had attacked her t14e day before their wedding = \

 Now you're talking sentiment" re- torted stubby-mustached Jim Sargent You said, a while ago, that you came here strictly on business. So did we. This is no place for sentiment"
 Rufus Manning, with the tip of his silvery beard in his fingers, looked up into the delicate groining of the apse, where it curved gracefully forward over the head of the famous Henri Dupre's crucifix, and he grinned. Gail Sargent was looking contemplatively from one to the other of the grave ves- trymen.
 You're right" conceded Allison curtly. Suppose you fellows talk 1t over by yourselves, and let me know your best offer."
 "Very we'll" assented Jim Sargent with an indifference which did not seem to be assumed. We have some other matters to discuss, and we may as we'll thrash this thing out right now. We'll let you know tomorrow '
 Gail looked at her watch and rose energetically.
 q shall be late at Lucile's, Uncle Jim. I don't think can wait for you.
 "FIl be very happy to take Miss Sargent anywhere she'd like to go, offered Allison, almost lnstantane' ously.
 Much obliged. Allison" accepted Sargent heartily; that is. If sheh go with you"
 "Thank you" said Gail simply, as she stepped out of the pew.
 The gentlemen of the Vestry rose ss one man. Old Nicholas Van Ploon even attempted to stand gracefully on one leg. while his vest bulged over the hack of the pew in front of him.
 CT think we'll have to make you a nermanent member of the vestry, smiled Manning, the patriarch, as ne bowed his adieus. We've been need ing brightening influence for some time."
 willis Cunningham, the thoughtful one. wedged his Vandyke between the heads of Standard Cereal Clark and , Banker Chisholm.

 "I mean to attend services re- turned Gail graciously, looking up into the organ loft, where the organist was making his third attempt at that baf' fling run in the Bach prelude.
 "You haven't said how you like our famous old church." suggested the Rev Smith Boyd with pleasant ease though he felt relieved that she was going.
 The sudden snap in Calls eyes fair ,v scintillated. It was like the shat tering of fine glass in the sunlight.

 For an instant, Edward E. Allison had glimpse of her, in her garnet and turquoise, flanked by sprightly vision in blue and another sprightly vision in pink, and he thought he heard the suppressed sounds of litter ing; then the door closed, and the lace curtains of the hall windows bulged outward, and Gail came tripping down the steps.
