Motion Picture Camera
Is Hailed as an Aid to
Psychopathic Diagnosis

Now comes the motion picture cam
era as the X-ray Of the soul-the mirror
Of spiritual qualities in human beings.
Not many years ago the Xray was
given to the world Of science, and sur
gery took an advance step. By means
of the violet ray physicians were en-
sbled, literally, to look through their
patients. Physical defects could be cx-
posed, but the spiritual alloy in man
still remained an undiscovered mys-
terry. There are some to-day who be-
lieve that the motion picture camera
and the powerful lights used in making
pictures have supplied the means of
reading the soul of man.
at is not 30 much the camera that
seeks out the spiritual defects as it Is
the Rctinic rays that come from the
powerful lights used in the modern
motion picture studio" explained Frank
Reicher, who has just finished direct
ing Dorothy Dalton in Paramount pic
ture. 1t was while making this pic
ture. an Mems Eyes" that Mr. Recher
got his idea.
Many times you see q person who
gives the impression of finely knit
character and to the eye they are the
cptome OF grace and charm, but once
they are put under the powerful lights
before the camera all the coarseness
Of their nature is exposed" said Mr.
Rsicher. Many times you have heard
the expression that 80 and so does not
screen well!s This may be because of
features or il may be because
thc spiritual makeup of the subject
cannot stand the test OF the actinic
rays. .,
before psychologists and psychopathol-
1gists use the closeup of the motion
picture camera for detecting various
forms of dementia. There is no better
way of Illuminating character than
through the camera that | know of.
I is a known fact that gowns to be
worm in motion pictures must be made

The Constitutional Convention

Many have asked us how We stood
ON the call for the proposed c0lstltu'
tional Convention. We answered TINS
shortly after the call for the conven-
tion was made.
The more we study the proposition,
the more firmly we are opposed to the
holding of d constitutional convention
under the provisions OF the present
call.
We are in favor Of new coIistitu-
ton, and we believe this is true OF
the majority of the people. But we 90
not favor new constitution that will
no drafted under the dominating i'll
fluence of one man, as will be the
case unless the proposed convention Is
voted down next Tuesday. Neither 90
we favor a new constitution drafted
by any set of men, no matter how hon
orable or able they may be, that is not
to be submitted to the people for their
approval or rejection, before it be-
comes the basic law under which they
are to be governed.
All self government Is taken away
from people If the laws under which
they are to be governed are made by
few men, and not submitted to the
people. We might as well have the
right taken from us Of selecting the
officers who are to enforce these laws

tuition the fundamentals Of which he

DOORS OF THE
 NATIONAL HOME ] ALWAYS OPEN

The Elks National Home at Bedford City, Va, a. philanthropic enterprise of magnitude, is open, allthcugh not all of the interior features are com p1eted. Establishment of such an institution had long occupied the at tention of prominent Elks.
 Sites Considered.
 Several sites were submitted to the committee for their consideration, but it was not until the Grand Lodge session at Salt Lake City in 1902 that marked the material beginning of the home.
 At that time the joint committee reported that it had purchased prop erty at Bedford City, Va, to be occu- pied as the Elks National Home. The report recited the fact that the White Sulphur Springs property had been regarded as the most desirable or the numerous propositions reported to the Grand Lodge. Soon after the 1901 Grand Lodge meeting that prop erty was destroyed by fire.
 The attention of the joint commit tee was then directed to another part of tn old Dominion, the Hotel Bed ford property, which was under the ownership of receivers for the United Banking and Trust company of Rich mond, Va It had been erected in 1891 as a. summer hotel and had not proven financially successful. 1t was OriSinallyE 0fter3Q to lne coliiilllIleS for $2O, 900, but on June 16, 1902, it was purchased at public sale for s12,O5O, which sale was promptly confirmed by the Chancery Court.
 The cofnmittee's recommendat1on that the I institution be maintained solely as. a home for aged and indi- 1. gent Elks, and not to be conducted as a hospital in any sense, was con cured in by the Grand Lodge. This joint committee was continued for another year with authority to draw up rules of government as to ad- mission, conduct of the home, tc., and to fully establish the home. Not long after this it was found that the building was extremely f1imsy, and Of very infiammable construction, and 1t was necessary to rebuild on the pres ent site at cost of $500.00O.
 The matter of the new home was again taken up by the Grand Lodge and discussed as to whether it should be located on the same site, or whether they would choose new location. Although many of the former properties were again looked into, it was finally decided that the old site was adequate, being very { near to what may be termed the Typographical center of Elkdom

 An Elk is a member of the order who participates in all it's activities, visits the lodge frequently, doesn't wait to be dunned for his dues, brings wholesome suggestions to the officers ana ever stands ready to respond to the full duty of Elkdom.

 The Elk is the heart of the fra ternity; through him it survives and grows great.
