Search for New Trade Fields ' Has Interested Nearly All The Enterprising Cities Throughout State.

Local manufacturers and members of the Commercial club are interested in an industrial advertising expedition which leaves Indianapolis February 15 tor a period of three weeks, and dur ing which time all localities in the south and southwest, even extending to the City of Mexico, the capital of Mexico, will be visited. At the January meeting of the board of directors of the Commercial club the proposition of encouraging local manufacturing firms to send representatives on this trip will he considered. . The expedition will be held under the auspices of Clarence D. Boyd of Indianapolis traveling passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad company. In the past the company has conducted several such expeditions, but this year Mr. Boyd wishes to make it purely an Indiana affair. Passenger agents in other states are trying to interest manufacturers of their states in the same way. A Good Trad Getter. In previous expeditions, Indianapolis concerns have always been represented, finding it very beneficial in securing new trade. Local manufacturers believe that it would be a good way to open up new territory and undoubtedly favorable action will be taken by them. ' The train will be known as the Indiana Industrial Excursion. The trip will take three weeks and each stop will be sufficiently long for the manufacturers, or their representatives to call upon the tradesmen. Large amounts of advertising matter, such as catalogues and the like will be distributed on the initial visit, to be followed up later with a personal visit of a representative of the firm. Several cities in the state are Interested in the plan, including Ft. Wayne, Indianapolis, New Castle, Kokomo, Muncie, Marion, Shelbyville, Terre Haute and Evansville. Mr. Boyd who was in the city recently and visited K. M. Haas of the Commercial club stated that any assistance he might give in organizing the local merchants would be extended. It is probable that f the directors of the Commercial club take favorable action at the January meeting, Mr. Boyd will be invited to address the manufacturers at an evening meeting. MOTION PICTURES ; PLEASEPATIEUTS Novel Form of Amusement Is Adopted at the Easthaven Hospital. PROVES GREAT SUCCESS FILMS SHOWN ARE VIEWS OF ; FOREIGN LANDS OR AMUSING V SKETCHES WHICH DO NOT AROUSE THE EMOTIONS. ; An exceedingly new and novel method for the treatment of the insane has been adopted by Superintendent S. K. Smith of Easthaven. The method consists of showing moving pictures to th.e patients. Just recently a moving picture machine has been installed in the hospital and the institution has been placed on a regular circuit, receiving new films twice a week. Dr. Smith states that practically the whole secret of treating insane patients Is in keeping their minds occupied and Interested in something. Great Interest is displayed by the patients in the moving pictures and they Took forward to each new film with an added degree of pleasure. So real and lifelike do some of the pictures appear to the demented spectators that some cannot contain their enthusiasm and shout directions to the different characters in the pictures. A Study In Emotions. There is a vast difference in the way patients are affected by the pictures. What may move one to tears may appear ridiculously funny to another, whose mirth provoking laughter only serves to increase the tears of the more emotional. The more dangerous or incurable patients are not permitted to witness the moving pictures. Attendants are scattered among the audience during the performance and very little difficulty is experienced, it is said In keep-

The auth orities exercise great care in making the selection of the pictures, caution being taken not to obtain pictures cal culated to excite the patients or stir up their emotions, more than possible.
