Painter of Miniatures, Is
Granted Decree by Court

Mrs. Rose Hooper Plotner, well
known in art circles as a painter of
miniatures, was granted a divorce by
Judge Murasky yesterday from Charles
Albert PIotner on the ground of neg
lect to furnish her with the common
necessaries of life. Her testimony was
simply to the effect that for more than
a year Plotner had not supported her.
She told the court she did not know
where her husband is, but thelast time
she heard of him he was at Taft in the
oilfelds The custody of their young
son, Selden Hooper Plotner. was
awarded to the mother.

Shot Getting Better
of Armor in the Great
Race for Supremacy
Projectile Makers Succeed in Produc-
ing Shells that Will Pierce Plates
Of Latest Pattern.

WASHINGTON. Dec. s-The shot ap-
pears to be getting the better OF the armor
in the never-ending contest for supremacy
between the two, according to Rear Ad-
miral N. 2. Mason, chief OF the naval ord
nance bureau. In his annual report no
says that the conditions and outlook with.
regard to armor-piercing projectiles, form
erly unsatisfactory. have improved very
much during the year: the quality OF the
shells supplied by certain firms is better
and the outlook is more satisfactory than
for several years past. though the lack OF
an adequate supply OF large oaiibre shells
continues to be matter of serious con-
cern.
On the other hand, the advance in armor
has not been entirely satisfactory 40 far
as thick plates are concerned, and certain
new processes, while giving promise of
ultimate Improvement. have failed to lend
themselves to the installation OF the armor
on shipboard
In the meantime the older processes are
being left behind by the Improvement IN
projeetiles
But thin plates have shown marked i'm
provement and the hardening methods
formerly limited to two-inch plates have
gradually been extended to plates up TO
four inches, and II is possible they may be
indefinitely extended. and thus solve the
problem existing with regard to thick
plates.
Notwithstanding some adverse foreign
criticisms the ordnance bureau is well sat
isfied with the present smokeIess powder.
A new 'stabilixer' has been introduced
with great success.
