So Strong That Pictures Can Be Taken Through Fog and Murky Weather, It is Said.

Chicago, Aug. 24 Pl-The pierc- ing of fog and smoke by the camera lens, making possible the taking of pictures through atmospheric murk over great distances, already is being mastered and the development of 6 camera which will take pictures through solid objects may be eX- pected presently, George Harris of Washington, D. C., distinguished American photographer, declared to- day at the annual convention of the Photographers Association of Amer ica.
 The American custom of free sit ngs"-instituted by photographers who take portraits on approval was condemned by Marcus Adams, London photographer.

HELD PRISONER IN
 W. MAIN ST. BLOCK
Absent Minded Businessman
 Locked in Office Building

Being locked in a deserted office building for several hours in the middle of the night is no fun, and anyone inclined to dispute such a statement may be set aright by the tenant of a West Main street office building who had such an eXper1- ence last night.
 The story comes from one alleged to be ''in the know" and is repeated here. It seems that the business man, answering the call of duty, had to return to his office for some ex- tra work after hours. He completed his work before midnight and left his office. carefully closing the door and springing the lock.
 He blithely went downstairs and grabbed the handle of the big front door. But the big front door did not respond to his efforts to open it. It was locked. Reaching for his keys in order to make possible his exit, he found that he had left them in his office on the inside.
 And there he was and there he stayed. He vainly attempted to at tract the attention of passersby but those who were abroad at that time of the night did not think to look at the big front door, from which no gleam of light came They did not hear the rapping and tapping. The janitor could not oe found and when the business man finally attracted the attention of someone on the street, it was neces- sary to call a police officer who either unlocked the door or went In search of the janitor. At any rate, the business man was released.

VAULT ID HOLD
 BIG SUMS PLANNED
N. Y. State Is Erecting Modern
 Structure

Albany, Aug. 24--A most modern vault for holding $200,OO0.O00 in cash and gilt-edged securities owned by the state will be built in the new twenty -six-story office building which the state is to erect just west of the capitol. In case of fire it can be flooded with water. State Archi- tect Sullivan w. Jones declared to- day it would be the safest vault that human ingenuity could devise. It will contain alarms connected with sirens outside the building and also with Albany police headquarters and the bankers protective system. Plans for the vault are being drawn by the state architects force. Its proposed location is being kept q secret and the specifications and de- tails of the construction are conti- dential. It will measure approM- mately 50 by 50 feet. ."
 On Wednesday Governor Smith and members of the state building commission will open bids for the wrecking of the buildings that now occupy the site where the new office building is to be built. By January 1 next it is proposed to have the site cleared, test borings completed and the final program for construction ready for presentation to the legis- lature.
 Departments of the state govern men that now have large sums on hand or hold large blocks of securi- ties hire strong boxes at the local banks, but when the new building is ready and all the state departments are housed under one roof this will not be necessary.
 While the state carries no insur- ance, the new vault will be so de-
 signed and built that it would take
