Normal people have two eyes. so that within
two sides of an object in relief, like a tree or
a man. A photograph has only one eye
and gives a flat image, For stereoscope
views two photographs are taken-a right:
eyed one and a left.eyed one, 80 to speak.
When the duplicates blend, in proper focus
under the lenses, one gets the effect Of depth
and roundneA<-as thought one could walk
away back into the piuturA and fairly look
around the trees. q
This third picture had that effect. 1t
needed no argument TOT convince Harwood
that If, those two things could be combined
in motion picture photography--the fresh.
vivid natural colors and the stereoscopic
= effect, Of depth and roundness, one would
have an invention with which one could
sweep the board. In arranging for this meet
ing. Krom had said that he and Steinman
had such an invention at the tips Of their
fingers. If that were true it meant millions.
The little show being over, the three men
sat down to talk, and then for the first time
Harwood really took cognizance OF the third
one of the party-the dry wisp Of O. man
with meagcr, sparsely bearded face and noble

OF Nathaniel HARDWOOD, third member OF the

One April evening in 1921 Nathaniel Har.

OF the Belknap Building evidently waiting

Of his clothes was distinguished also-no
mere creased and vagnished newness, as of
a tailor's dummy The, lounging attitude Of
his slender figure, negligently supported by Il
silver handled walking stick, was graceful
without posing. He was. in fact, forty.three;
but the threads OF gray at his temples. or
here and there in his sleek, dark name, gave
q note Of achievement. The contrast with
them made his lightly tanned face seem
only more youthful. Gray blue Irish eyes
surveyed the street with q pleasant, assured
look.
A cab drew up to the curb. From it
emerged big Krom and little Steinman, the
former carrying q bulky canvas bag Of the

Perhaps, as a matter. of strict legal inter.

wood couldn't say positively about tina:
without knowing more about the technical

would afford a fine basis fora lawsuit over
the ownership Of the invention.

This private office was. perhaps, too spa.

windows were Of tawny, plated silk. The

silver trimmings. Upon it stood two massive
silver 'candlesticks supporting clusters of
electric bulbs. Above the low book shelves,

with tapestry. All this might have seemed
much more suitable to a luxurious wonlan's

the Great Northern station where long

Mrs. Moore pointed out hat this

1921 when the members of the Y. NJ.

a. travellers aid service in the local
stations for the purpose of helping
young women and girls to find suit

lengthy wait here and was in charge
of two crippled children. The woman
was Unable to transport the children
about and so would have been obliged
to remain in the station without food
had it not been for the service of the
Y. w. c. A. at this time. Another
very old lady who had become i'll

also received attention from the
travellers aid bureau that would have
been impossible under other circum-

through Grand Forks in company
with her two daughters. and who
stopped here to effect train connec-
tons, received courtesies from the Y.
W. c. A. women which brought forth
the remark hat Grand Forks would
always "hold a warm spot in her
heart" because Of the services she had
received through the travellers aid.
While the Y. W. c. A. had established
headquarters at the station for the ser
vice of fair visitors, the service was
very apparently needed also by anoth-

said, and the number of cases like the
