BIG TELESCOPE FOR RUSSIA
Instrument Manufactured in British
Factory Weighs Nine Tons and
Is 45 Feet Long,

In view of the present condition of
Russia, it is rather surprising to find
that the Soviet government has or
dered a telescope which is one Of the
largest in the world. This telescope
has just been completed in British
factory, and will shortly be transport
ed to an observatory on the shores of
the Black sea. 1t weighs about nine
tons, and the inside length of the tube
Is 45 feet. Heavy as the telescope is,
It is so admirably fitted that it can
be moved by electrical means as easily
as if 1t were a small portable ap-
paratus. The push-button system of
control has been adopted, so that all
the operator has to do to direct
the telescope to any part of the
heavens is to press certain buttons. A
second telescope almost as large as
this, is being made at the same Brit
fish factory for another observatory in
Russia. SO delicate is the work on
these giant instruments that about
three years are occupied in designing
and constructing them.

THE
RIGHT THING AT
THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
PHOTOGRAPHS

n CHEAP, second-rate photograph
"A proclaims itself of course by its
finish and mounting, but just as much
by the manner in which the subject is
posed. If you are going to have your
picture taken don't let photographer
make the picture look second-rate by
posing you in the wrong way.
Have you ever looked in the photOg-
rapher's window to see the poses of
the young brides and grooms2 One ia
vorite pose shows the embarrassed
bridegroom sitting stiff1y in the pho
tographer's posing chair, with the
white-clad bride standing squarely be-
side him, one arm and hand placed
definitely across his shoulders
Now this is a most un-American
pose, for the well-bred American male
should never permit himself to occupy
a single chair to the exclusion of a
woman.
In large family group mistakes
in grouping are often made, but In gen
eral you should follow the same rule
in the seating that you would in real
life. Men and children should never
be seated to the exclusion of women.
