A "MOyIEr PANORAMA.

A moving picture apparatus has
been invented which throws its scenes
in continuous panorama in q ring
around the surface of a cylindrical
screen. The spectators stand in the
center of the space inclosed by the
screen and take in only such parts of
the performance as they would be
able TO get in real life. This new
movie sort is more tantalizing than

The effect produced upon the spec

Indications are that there will be
heated sessions when the contract
holders of the North Dakota Improve
ment company, now in the hands of a
receiver. meet at Fargo Thursday to

Charles Pollock of the Cass county
district court that this meeting has
been called. the purpose, as outlined
by Judge Pollock, being to inform the
stockholders of the actual conditions,
and to devise ways and means of han
ding the future affairs.
One proposal that has been made
is that of selling the holdings of the
company, but this plan is being OBJ
Jected to on the part of many stock
holders, who assert that the organia-
ton Is now on a paying basis. and
should be continued intact without
the sale OF properties at this time.
The North Dakota Improvement
company was organized several years
ago, and it owns several buildings in
the state. These were constructed
on the mutual investment plan, and
some of the projects are paying out
successfully.
Stockholders are scattered over the
entire state, and most of them will

This insures a more perfect bronze
than would otherwise be possible.
Grand Forks hackers of the local
movement expect little trouble in Sc
curing n cast from the same work,
and in doing so they will bring to
Grand Forks an exceptional work OF
art.
But it will require money to handle
the proposition. The concert of Fri
day evening of this week, which will
be made up entirely of Grieg music,
should be the means Of securing
good portion of the fund.
The committee is desirous of get
ting in touch with all the people Of
the city-but the committee also de-
clares this will be impossible. Tickets,
however, will be on sale at the audi
torium on the evening of the concert,
or they can be had at the Norman

GATHERING THE
SPRING WARDROBE

Fabrics light in weight and cool in
appearance, gay colors, iauntily iaring
coats, trim hats, cape-like wraps and
ilmy gowns, speed the departing win
ter.
Taffeta undoubtedly leads all other
fabrics for spring frocks and suits.
Waists to accompany the suits are
made of delicate laces and chiffons,
which we have been seeing for some
time, though for spring the lighter col
ors should be used.
The next to consider is the one-piece
Itrock. One dark practical frock that
will stand constant hard usage is is
essential as a second one a little
lighter in weight and more dressy.
A soft, becoming afternoon dress for
bridge, weddings, luncheons and the
like is another essential, made of crepe
de chine, MORE or pussy-willow tai
feta.
For evening gowns taffeta also holds
first place, and in such strong colors
as empire green or turquoise blue.
Many of the new hats will he small
and will set high on the head, exposing
the hair on one side, by mearely wear
ing the hat low on one ear or by
means of a high bandeau.

In company with the others she did
net falter in the examination. ALI

her without hesitation She was the
first woman in the history of the
navy to pass the examination.
When Mr.. officer asked her to step
aside for the final examination she
did so. She removed her coat and

would have to remove her entire at

and told her story. To the officer
