ASSEMBLY OF SCOTTISH RITE ATTRACTS 1000

Thirty-Second Degree Conferred in Final Ceremony at Cathedral. Herbert N. Laflin, Milwaukee. Wls., Scottish Rite Supreme Council member, spoke before an audience of more than 1000 Masons in ceremonies concluding the rite’s 69th semi-annual convocation at the Cathedral last night. Deriving his text from the degree Interrogation—’ What Is This Mystic Art You Call Masonry?"—the speaker explained the fundamental principles of the fraternal order. He declared the organization was neither political nor religious in concept, yet served to foster responsible citizenship and based its teachings on a belief in God and the brotherhood of man. Other speakers were Dr. Gaylard M. Leslie, Ft. Wayne, deputy; Alfred M. Glossbrenner, Indianapolis, supreme council member; Carl A. Ploch, illustrious master of the Indiana grand council, and Roy Smiley, state Knights Templar commander. Judge Kern Responds Response on behalf of the candidate class was given by Mayorelect John W. Kern, and greetings from other Masonic bodies were delivered by Harry Yeo, Muncie. Paul E. Fisher, potent master, presided. After tracing the history of the order, Mr. Laflin appealed for the application of Masonic principles to problems besetting a troubled world, and condemned the alien propaganda which seeks to destrov American doctrines and institutions.

Old Order Changeth — Bent for Art, Encouraged by Dr. Bahr, Often Cures Patients at Insane Hospital.

Tititi Staff Writer NOW comes the therapy of art! In the fascinating stories of the lives of the world's greatest painters and artists there are notable instances of simultaneous disintegration of mental powers in the artist and heightening of his artistic stature. Turner, in his later years, painted brilliantly, but op each of his canvases was a diagonal streak of yellow light, utterly disassociated with the theme of the picture—the symbol of his insanity.

Meryon, who stroked upward on his engraving plates because he said a building was built from the ground up and a picture taf a building should be built that way, too. cluttered the air in his later engravings with all manner of flying horses and dragons. He regarded these as every-day animals to be noticed in an everyday street at any time. Thus deeply rooted in the authentic history of art, but turned around for the benefit of society, is the use to tfhich art now is put at the Central Indiana Hospital, 3000 W. Washington-st, by its superintendent, Dr. Max A. Bahr. There Dr. Bahr takes certain types of curable patients, finds in them, through some expression, a bent for art, and allows them to paint, draw or express that bent in whatever form seems easiest. And, in more instances than Dr. Bahr remembers, the patient, through this objective occupation, has regained his mental balance, and left the hospital for a useful later life. 000 OFTEN an impulse to paint, timid and bullied in early life, proves the key to the patient’s sanity, Dr. Bahr says, and its exercise effects a remarkable and complete cure. One patient, Dr. Bahr recalls, a dementia praecox case, found an artistic bent and developed it amazingly until he was fully qualified, artistically, to do permanent murals in buildings on the grounds. He frescoed an entire buildmg. His condition was considerably relieved by this work, • the doctor said, and some day may be completely cured. One 22-year-old college girl, whose condition was reported to qualified physicians too late for a cure to be effected, was allowed to develop a marked artistic bent at the hospital. When she first came there she did several oils and water colors, all following closely the academic school, and all having a nice sense of proportion and color. They were favorably regarded by art students and artists who visited the hospital, Dr. Bahr says. As her condition grew worse, however, she lost her sense of proportion, forgot how to draw, deserted such serene subjects as landscapes and devoted her art to obviously subjective themes. Her later pictures were ugly and usually contained some illustration of a memory that was horrible to her, but at the same time showed with all the decisiveness of a true talent that which she wanted them to show—an increasing distaste tor life and an ever-growing obsession that she was persecuted. She died of her affliction. 000 OTHER forms of art, falling in the classification of handiwork, have been known to bring back mental order to patients. One man, a victim of dementia praecox of the catatopic type, had been utterly listless for a long time and hadn’t even spoken for six weeks prior to his entrance at the hipspital, Dr. Bahr said. He was so apathetic that, if an attendant should raise the patient's arm above his head, he would not let it drop, but would continue to hold it there until the attendant would lower it. This patient was put in the department of occupational therapy and a flicker of interest was aroused when it was suggested he whittle a stick. He did and, as he progressed with it, he became ingenious enough to fashion a piece of doll’s furniture. After a while he had a collection 'of dolls furniture he had made, all the while improving, and Dr. Bahr, seeing a complete cure just around the corner, talked to him one day. “You ought to have something to put these in,” he suggested, gently. The patient understood. He began building a house for them and, as the complexities of such a project presented themselves, he had exert his mind more and more until, when the thing was complete, he was cured. That man today is a successful insurance broker in a large Ohio city.
