OWED MUCH TO STEREOSCOPE
How Commanders During the Great
War Got information OF
Vital Importance.
John ]. Cornwell, Governor.

The od-faShioned stereoScope
played an important part in the
world war. 1t supplied an angle to
photographs, snapped from airplaaes,
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 HAT ground, were shown in
their true characteristics, and the
lives of men who would have to cover
the ground in attack were saved.
The airplane camera looks directly
down on the spot to be photographed
making a picture as one-eyed man
would see it, A stereoscopic camera,
i'm which the lenses are two and
three-quarters inches apart, would not
produce the stercoscopic effect. Pho
tographers decided to take pictures
100 yards apart to give view, just
as a giant, with eyes 100 yards apart,
would see it. These pictures were
nut on cardboard, and viewed through
the stereoscope. At first cottage
looked like tower, bucket ike
we'll. a 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, were then
obtained by the airplane photogra-,
pliers.

permit home manufacture of "non-intox-

accepted by the House conferees and

In adopting the Senate amendment au-
thorizng the making of light wines and

added further liberalizing provision
permitting transportation of 'non-intoxi-
