Aircraft Conditions.

Several American commissions have
recently made an Investigation into
the aircraft conditions in different
parts of the world, and they agree that
this country has the opportunity to lead
the world in civilian aeronautical ac-
tivities and as market for aircraft
in 1920. 1t was the joint opinion of
these commissions that the United
States is ahead of all other countries
in number Of planes actually ordered
and bought for civilian purposes, num-
Der of aerial transportation lines be-
ing organized, actual daily perform
ance Of the aerial mail service, and
volume Of mail carried, and possible
ties for the use Of aircraft for COM
mercial purposes, and that the fact
that the post Office has proved that
military planes can be converted into
mail carriers makes possible the utili-
cation of service planes to meet the Inn
mediate demand which manufacturers
are unable to meet.

"MADE GOOD" WITH CAMERA
Kermit Roosevelt's Photographs, Ia.
ken in Africa, Are Looked on
az Masterpieces.

In 1909, when the Roosevelt expedi-
tion went to Africa on the greatest
of all safaris. by the dropping out OF
the professional photographer, ker-
NIT Roosevelt suddenly was thrust
into the position of official phOtog-
rapher to the expedition. viewed this
arrangement with many misgivings-
because 1t was task for maturity
and long experience-but the young
man made good. He made good 100
per cent, not only with the big game
rifle, but in wild animal photography
as well.
Mr.. Kermit's masterpiece is his best
picture of whole herd of elephants
in high but rather open forest, Will
liam Hornaday writes in Scribners.
The light was none too good, but for
tunately it was good enough. This real
achievement was scored from perch
on low limb of a tree, conveniently
placed to drop the intervening brush
out of view. Five tuskers appear in
/ the front line, and the elephants are
massed together in the composition as
| neatly and perfectly as If the hand
of man had grouped them to get all
| the flankers into the picture.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt was very
proud of this picture, and so We're

THE TAsLEAux.

The other evening" said Daddy.
~some children gave tableaux which.
rs I've told you. are like pictures. The
children get In positions to make them
look Ike the pictures and then they
stand quite still whilA the curtain is
drawn up and the people see the tab
leau.
AT these tableaux the other eve
ming were the mothers and fathers and
older sisters and brothers Of the chill
dren and many other people came too.
1.-The children gave these tableaux
and with the help of their mothers
got up their own costumes and did all
the work assisted by few grown-ups.
They charged admission for they
worked hard over them and had very
fine ones. and the money they made
went straight to fresh air fund so
that children In the city whose daddies
and mothers were not well off at all
could get little of the country and
the fresh air in the summer away from
the city.
| "These children saw that they had
no expenses. They made an old dining
room table as platform and put rug
| over Ii.
| Their curtain was of old velvet
curtains which had been lent to them
and the stage was very pretty with
flowers and green's and ferns.
II thought that 1t might be nice fol-
Nick and Nancy and their friends to
get up some tableaux and give them
for the benefit of some good charity
For you will get so much fun out OF
them yourselves and you will be Civ
ing others fun, too, which they other
wise would not have.
Its always fun to dress up and I,
act-even If one acts without saying ;
word and looking just like a statue.
"What do you think about it, Nick ant
Nancy? Do you think you would lik
to give some tableaux? And w0uldn'
you like to give the money you max
to some nice charity so that other
could get some pleasure out Of you
fun toO?'
"We'd love it." said Nancy.
"And Wen work hard SO folks vii
consider that our show is worth tn
money" laughed Nick.

Destroyed the Illusion.

Into the restaurant she came with
the air Of a princess, truly regal fig
ure, clad in brown from top to toe and
looking as If she had just visited a
Partisan modiste and beauty parl0r
"A perfectly groomed, handsome wom-
an. There was an air Of refinement
about her. She looked extensively
turned out in the simple, deceptive
way.
SShe seated herself at table and
there were little EXPLANATIONS Of ad-
miration from other diners near A
waitress approached; every one
hushed to listen to the beautiful crea-
tlre speak.
In high-pitched, East side voice
she ordered Bring me onion
omlette." 1t was brought, and she
played 1t golfishly speaking, with her
knife.--New York Evening Post.

different colors as l once saw ushers
wear.
'Some of the tableaux which are
easy to give are Of fancy dress balls.
and of boys and girls dressed to look
like the Fairyland people.
"And tableaux are nice of scenes on
the farm, and at the beach and on the
tennis court and fishing. nice one
to end up with is to have all the young
est boys and girls in their little night
clothes carrying candles and candle
sticks--all ready for bed. But 1t is as
well not to light the candles for there
might be accidents then with fire.
| Candles wouldn't show well anyway
with all the lights for the audience
| turned on too.
| "rhen there are nice tableaux taken
from famous pictures, many of that
kind.
Don't you think 1t would be fun,
children?"
"Oh, great fun, Daddy. Thank you
so much for suggesting it to us Wen
get all the children interested in 1t to-
morrow. And Wen get 1t ready In two
weeks. Would that give us long
enough?"
'Just about right" said Daddy, "for
you'll have time enough with good
deal Of hard work to get everything
ready by that time and it won't be so
long as to make you feel you have all
the time in the world.
"And you can fix very simple cos.
tunes and they're Just as pretty
They're easier to get into and they
won't make your mothers all wish
had never suggested such thing Y
Nick and Nancy laughed. I'VE prom
ise to dress up In simple things" they
said
"And when one boy has something
In the way OF costume which vii
make him do for a certain part givt
that part to him. That is also goot
Idea.
.And one more thing, when you Civ
your tableaux. have the children who'r'
to act in the next tableaux ready Will
one is being given, as then there vii
be no waits and waits make audience
very. very weary"
And on went Nick and Nancy to &c
up series Of tableaux which they d
I, cided they would give for the benefl
|, OF a fund they knew Of which was b
le ing raised to help city children get
q. the country. And at the same time the
n knew what fun they would all hav
getting up the tableaux.
