“MADE GOOD” WITH CAMERA
Kermit Roosevelt's Photographs, Tl-

as Masterpieces.

In 1909, when the Roosevelt erpedl-
tion Went to Africa on the greatest
of all safaris. by the dropping out of
the professional photographer. Ker-
mit Roosevelt suddenly was thrust
into the position of official photog-
rapher to the expedition. I viewed this
arrangement with many misgivings-—
because it was a task for maturity
and long experience——hut 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 a whole herd of elephants
in it high but rather open forest. Wil-

Aircraft Conditions.
Several American commissions have
recently mide 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 sc-
tlvillcs and as a market for aircraft
in 1920. It was the Joint opinion of
these commissions that the United
States is ahead of all other countries
in number of planes actually ordered
and lmught for civilian purposes. num-
ber of aerial transportation lines be.

ance of the aerial mail service. and

that the post office. has proved that
military planes can be converted into
mnll carriers makes possible the utili-
zation of service planes to meet the im-
mediate demand whirh manufacturers
are unable to meet.

It is now possible to pick up a wire-

.tions within reasonable dimuce in
this country with the aid of an ordin-
‘ury umbrella. a. patent pocketbook and
a telephone.
The umbrella will act as the serial.

phone must be a high-resistance in.

It has even been possible. inventors
of the pocket receiving set say, to use
an ordinary bedstead as an aerial.
You must not expect with this sim-
ple installation to get in wireless
touch with Paris. Berlin or Moscow.
but if you want the mild excitement
of picking up messages from a home
station within reasonable distance you
must follow these directions:
Take your umbrella with you and
the pocketbook. select a nice lofty po-
sition, and having eurthed one corner
of the pocketbook—say to 11 water
pipe or something equally damp and
handy. hold your umbrella out at
arm's length. There should also be a
telephone handy, and it would be more
convenient to use the headgear worn
by telephone operators.
Having rigged yourself out as a hu-
man wireless station all you have to
do is to listen. You will lye as a rock
in a wireless sea with invisible waves
of unclerslundiug running down the
stick of your umbrella.
It is claimed for this pocket receiv-
ing set that it is comparable in sensi-
tivcness with the most expensive and
elaborate tuner on the market.
The cost of the pocketbook is about
