PHOTOGRAPHS FROM ROCKET
German Military Invention for Get
ting Accurate Information
About the Enemy.

1t takes an active imagination
surely to see any sympathetic rela-
tionship between a skyrocket and a
camera-so bcisterous is the one, SO
delicate the other; but the feat was
not beyond the powers of Alfred
Maui, who has linked the one to the
other in a happy co-portnership.
The rocket-camera, as it might be
called, was designed for military pur-
poses and was demonstrated before
the German military authorities with
such success that 1t has been off
cially accepted. The problem was not
ali easy one, says the Scientific
American, and the inventor claims to
have been trying to yoke up these
two very dissimilar things for some
twelve years, for it has taken that
time to bring the device to it's pres
ent undoubted perfection.
The apparatus is described as con
sisting of camera held in point
ed hood, at the top of which is
pneumatic electric contact, and
holder which contains a parachute
On the top of the holder is gyro-
scope which serves to maintain the
camera in the desired position for
the snapshot. The stick of the rock
ct is about 10 feet in length, and f..
is fitted at its lower end with wood
en- feathers. The whole rocket is &c
feet in length and 1t weighs about "a
pounds. The camera is capable of
taking 8x10-inch plates
For giving the proper direction in
firing the rocket is mounted in a spe-
cial form of gun carriage" which
is mounted at the apex of a stout
triangular base, and is capable of
being elevated through any range
from the horizontal to 90 degrees
When the rocket is fired electrically
from a distance of about 200 yards)
the gyroscope is started, and in
about eight seconds time the rocket
With the camera reaches a height of
about $500 feet.
When the rocket is turning at the
aighest point of it's trajectory, the

rection. covering the field of view, by

blouse fronts surplice over each other
below the bust line, and have the lower
halves hand embroidered in English
eyelet work. More embroidery appears
on the upper part of the sleeves and
around the foun dation skirt.
The tunic skirt is cut in two parts;
the-short straight one, which pouches a
little above the knees in front and the
longer cruved one in back extending
from hip to hip. They are mounted at
the waist line in even little plaits in
stead of gatherings, and are cut from
straight lengths of the material The
novel feature of the costume is the
rather odd arrangement of the pompa-
dour lowered girdle of taffeta. Besides

are two ends, one on either side,
which tuck in over the belt and form

New Massachusetts will

national child labor committee. If
the bill to reduce the hours of work
for all under sixteen years becomes
law. Massachusetts now has ten
hour day for workers under sixteen,
which it is proposed to reduce at one
step to a five-hour day, with the re-
quirsment that all child workers un-
der sixteen shall attend part time
day school.
Other states, meanwhile, are won
dering if they can establish the eight
hour day, and definite campaigns for
this end are on in Arkansas, Cali
fornia, New Hampshire, Pennsyl-
vania, Texas, West Virginia and else
where.
The committee points out that the
bills which have already been intro
duced in Pennsylvania, Delaware and
Texas all include the regulation of
street trades provided in the uniform
child labor law.
This allows no newsboy under
twelve years and no other street
trader under fourteen. 1t also forbids

TYPES OF SEPARATE SKIRTS
Things Well to Remember, Since
They Are to Be a Feature of
the Toilette.

Since combination suits, consisting
of two materials, will be much worn
for spring, a great variety of styles in
separate skirts are being shown
There are both draped and pleated
skirts in large quantities. The more
practical skirts have only slight dra-
perry, which comes well below the
knees, thereby preserving the fiat hip
appearance. A few draped skirts with
the new Oriental draperies caught up
in the front are seen, but they are
rather extreme.
There are many types of new pleat-
ed skirts, including cluster pleats,
most of which are stitched or caught
together by tape, so as to preserve the
narrow appearance and still give the
desired width to make them practic-
able for walking. A few gored skirts
are seen, but in the majority of cases
a few pleats are introduced,
Buttons with simulated buttOnholes
or loops are the favored trimmings on
separate skirts, the idea being TO car
ry out the tailormade effect.
The materials used are serges, whip
cords, mixtures, checks and ratine
weaves, the latter in plain colors In
two-toned effects, stripes and bro
cades. Among the silk skirts are
charmeuse, crepe meteor, crepe de
chine and the new brocaded failles.
Wash skirts are in the corded ma
terials, such as piques, cordelineS,
reps, etc., and in linens of the ramle
weaves and washable pongees,

was guilty of the murder.
