EDUCATIONAL MATTER
ON PROPOSED NEW
STATE CONSTITUTION

Beginning this week, the first
of a series of four articles on
the proposed new Constitution
which is to be voted on Dec. ID,
appears elsewhere in the Tele-
graph.
One of these articels will ap-
pear each week until the series
are given publicity
This matter on the new Con-
stitution has been carefully pre-
pared by the publicity commit
tee and the various sections of
the Constitution are presented
in a clear way so that everyone
may become posted on its pro-
visions before voting either for
acceptance or rejection at the
special election next month.
At the present time, there are
many voters throughout the
state who are undecided as to
whether or not they will sup
port the new Constitution. 9th
ers have perhaps already made
up their minds that they will
either accept or reject without
being properly informed as to
its provisions.
The new Constitution was
drafted at considerable expense
to the state and no man should
repudiate it before he makes
every endeavor to familiarize
himself with it.
Read each of these articels
as they appear from week to
week and you will then be in
position to vote intelligently on
this important matter.

NEW ART IN PORTRAITURE
Doretype, Recently introduced, is in
Many Respects the Best Yet
Devised.

A new style of portrait photo
graph, the Doretype, has recently
been introduced as a means of pro-
viding a form of portrait photo
graph of rich distinctive appearance,
yet capable of being produced at a
comparatively low cost. The Dore-
type is warm-toned, thin, positive
image on glass and receives its bril-.
liancy from the material which is
used as a backing. 1t lends itself to
almost any treatment. 1t may be
backed with light-tinted papers, or
various shades of fine silk or satin,
but the most satisfactory method is
to coat the back Of the transparency
with a fine gold bronze.
With edges simply bound or the
picture in a frame, most of the at
tractiveness of the Doretype is lost.
The aim of the promoters. has evi-
IDENTIFY been to originate something
which in its way can be priced by
the possessor just as the daguerreo-
type miniatures were priced in their
day.-New York Times.

HARD TO ELIMINATE COMMA
"NNsr Economy" in Punctuation MAY
&c Carried to a Point Where Il
viii Cause Confusion.

A Kent (England) urban corn-
ell, it is believed, has about reached
the limit Of "war economy" by for
bidding the use Of punctuation
marks in all official documents. with
the result that reports Of its proceed
ings are published without even a
comma, says an exchange. But the
absence Of punctuation may prove
perilous. Hill 20, on the western
front, was "taken" by a missing
comma, Worse still, a bishop, for
want of a comma, was temporarily
killed. The present bishop of Bath
and Wells, when he held the see Of
Adelaide, found what he thought
was a dead sea serpent near Coffin
bay, at a time when an influenza
epidemic ragged in that district. He
was pardonably proud of the "dis-
covery," which was wired to Eng
land in a portmanteau telegram
which ran: "Inhuenza prevalent nu-
merous deaths Bishop Adelaide
found dead sea serpent sixty feet
Coffin bay" A news agency thought
the last six words a separate mes
sage and announced the death of the
bishop.
