OWED MUCH TO sTEREoscoPE
How Commanders During the Great
War Got Information Of
Vital Importance.

The old-fashioned stereoscope
played an important part in the
world war. 1t supplied an angle to
photographs, snapped from airplanes,
that could not be obtained from the
ordinary camera lens. Before its use
the pictures all seemed fiat, but the
stereoscope added height, and thus
steep slopes, that appeared in pic
lures like fiat ground, were shown in
their true characteristics, and the
lives of men who would have to cover
the ground in attack We're saved.
The airplane camera looks directly
down on the spot to be photographed,
making picture as one-eyed man
would see it. A stereoscopic camera
in which the lenses are two and
three-quarters inches apart, would not
produce the stereoscopIc effect. Pho
tographers decided to take pictures
100 yards apart to give view, just
as a giant, with eyes 100 yards apart,
would see 1t. These pictures We're
put on cardboard, and viewed through
the stereoscope. At first cottage
looked like tower, a bucket like a
well, trench. like a canyon, etc. The
officers soon learned to translate these
eccentricities, and the problem was
solved. True pictures. giving just the
exact information desired, We're then
obtained by the airplane photogra-
piers.

COST HIM MORE THAN FIFTY
Mr.. Travers Had Not Properly Esti-
mated His Losses on That Little
Fistic Encounter.

Il can't afford to lose $50 on a
prize fight" mourned Gelatine Trav-
ers an hour or SO after the shock he
received over the wires that fatal
Friday afternoon. But you have lost
it, haven't your" we asked, and he
nodded disconsolately as he climbed
aboard homebound car. He must
have felt premonition as he
mourned, for it is unlike Mr.. Travers
to regret his losses; and when he ar
rived home he broke the news to Mrs.
Travers, along with the implied sug-
gestion that a little economy for the
next few weeks would not come in
amiss. Mrs. Travers said nothing IN
her most sympathetic manner, and the
evenings conversation covered topics
wholly foreign to prize fights. At the
breakfast table next morning Mr..
Travers had no taste for anything the
morning paper might have to say, and
Mrs. Travers gained possession of it
without the usual contest. CHANGING
through the paper rapidly Mrs. Ira
vers tore cut square section from
page 2, and another from page IL.
Then at one of those unexpected mo.
ments every woman knows breakfast
is replete with, said: $50 you could
lose $50 on a prize fight. Well, well.
Here is sale I have been awaiting
for long time. And strange to say,
here is another just across the street
one is on suits and the other on
gowns And the strangest of all, we
happen to have accounts at both those
stores. Fifty dollars, you say, you
lost? Was it an even fifty?' And
SO it was that the breakfast dishes
at the Travers' home went unwashed
Saturday morning because Mrs. Ira
vers was obliged to catch an early jit-
ney downtown and commence opera.

BAD CHANCES Into a Float.

A British invention for the relief of
aeronauts making voyages over extern
sive stretches of water consists of a
more or less circular gas bag in the
center of which is stretched floor
of heavy fabric. Ordinarily, the raft
is carried by the airship in the de
flated state; but in. the event of acct
dent it can be inflated in a few min
utes to form a most serviceable raft.
The bag is really a series of bags, each
being inflated through separate air
valve. Simple oar locks and pair of
oars are provided for propulsion pur-
poses.

A Bilious Attack

When you have a bilious
attack your liver fails to per-
form its functions. You be-
come constipated. The food
you eat ferments in your stom
ach instead of digesting. This
inflames the stomach and
causes nausea, vomiting and
a terrible headache. Take
three of Chamberlain's Tab
let's. They will tone up your
liver, clean out your stomach
and you will soon be as we'll
as ever. They only cost a

Tears were evidently abhorred by
w. D. Foster, a London theatrical

mania, and in the Ukraine? Not
only would their minority group
rights be abrogated, but their most
elementary rights as human beings

in the Eastern lands of Europe the
League of Nations is matter of
life and death; and as Our brothers

Homeland unless, in addition to the
will of a united Jewry, it be SO

tons.
The Jew has manifold reasons to
rejoice in the proposed League of
Nations, and my sincerest New

May the coming year witness the
successful establishment Of the
League of Nations, and with it the
dawn of that golden age first

JEWS AND THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
By Rabbi Maurice Lefkovits, Phi D.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The League Of Nations is the
first promising experiment in Or
ganizing the world for Peace. Be-
ing an experiment only, it may nat
urally fall somewhat short of its
aim. That it will, however, meas
urably approach it, may be accepted
as reasonable certainty. The
League of Nations will not elm
mate war entirely. 1t will, however.
and this beyond any peradven-
ture of doubt,-make the provoca-
ton of war more difficult, and, cor
respondingly, the maintenance of
peace more easy.
The active sympathy of the Jew
should be unstintedly with the adj
vocates of the League. Being the
historic exponent of the Brother
hood of Man,-the logical corollary
of his Fatherhod of God, the Jew
must lend enthusiastic support to
any scheme or agency that tends
towards the realization of such
Brotherhood. The League of Ma
tons, however imperfect it's present
form, has just this tendency-to
bring the peoples of the world to-
gether in the consciousness of their
essential oneness.
Again, the Jew has ever been an
ardent advocate Of Peace. His al
tars erected to the glory of God had
to be builded out of rough, unhewn
stones, SO that no iron, suggestive
of sword and slaughter, come into
contact with what was to be. dedl-
Gated to God of Peace. The
sweetest of Israel's singers and its
most heroic parsonage, King David,
was deemed unworthy of the privi-
1ege of building Temple unto God,
because, in the process Of conquer
ing Canaan for his people, he had
of necessity engaged in bloody war
fare. "Thou hast shed blood abun
dainty and hast made great wars.
Thou shalt not build house in my
name"-was the divine pronounce
ment. Also, it was a son of Israel
who first visioned the era of Uni
versal Peace and pictured it. in
