THE SEARCHLIGHT
Motion Pictures Improve Surgery

Many industries have been brought
UP to higher efficiency by motion pic
lures, which permit a close study Of
each movement upon the part of
worker. In no work is this more de-
sirable than in surgery. where human
life frequently rests entirely upon the
efficiency of the surgeon. Studies have
already been made in a number of hos
pltals in the United States and Canada
As a result. it will soon be possible for
a surgeon having an unusual or diff
cult surgical operation on hand to Sc
cure a film showing every motion made
by an expert in some other hospital in
the performance of the same operation.
Surgical methods and instruments dif-

turkeys as prizes for shooting soon.
According to notice last week un-
official matches with turkeys as prizes
were contemplated, but they are to be
bought by popular subscription by
those who are to participate in the
matches. The proposition still is in a
tentative stage, but is likely TO become
reality. Corp. McGrory declared that
1t is up to those who intend to stage
such matches.
Extensive improvements are TO be
made in both the Poll Theater and
Eastern market ranges. according to
Serst Hale, who has supervision over
both the ranges. The installation of a
heating system and Il boxed firing line
are among the improvements scheduled
Tor the theater range, and heating ap-
paratus is to he installed in the market
range. Sergt. Hale also expects to
procure some necessary lew furniture
for the ranges. The proposition of
using large room adjoining the range
under Eastern market as a meeting
place for the various clubs is being
considered.
The Home Club Target Association is
contemplating holding a shooting con-
test for Thanksgiving turkeys on the
Poll Theater range. Some of the
