Effectiveness. The outside attractiveness
is just as important as the attractiveness
of the inside. Builders often make the
mistake of building the house before
giving the appearance OF the lawn

first thought, because many houses are
so situated and so made that 1t Is i'm
possible for them TO have an attractive

of the home"

The thirty-second annual convention of
the Photographers Association Of Amer
lea, which is in session this week in
Philadelphia, is attended not only by the
leading photographers of America, but
also includes a number of European
photographers of international reputa-
ton. several of whom are presenting some
new discoveries in the Photographic art
to their brothers of the camera. A fea-
ture Of the convention is the best col
lection Of foreign photographs ever ex-
hibited in this country. There also is a
school of posing and lighting as one fea-
ture, conducted by masters in the arts OF
portrait photography, who are demon
strating- their newest methods.
The photographers art In America
reached its first practical stage cnieny
through the efforts Of two Philadelphians
who improved upon the methods OF Louis

which resulted finally in the production

Philadelphia publication, which led Joseph
Saxton, an employe of the United states

the same lines. He made camera out

MENACE OF ARMY WORM

An effort was made in the Senate today
by Senator Smith of South Carolina to
hasten action on the agricultural appro-

ton and hay crops throughout the south
ern states Senator Smith declared the

had confronted the south with one of the
gravest conditions in years
lie said that he had been told by the
Secretary of Agriculture today that the
department was helpless to cope with the
situation in view of the disagreement on
the general appropriation bill.
Special appropriations have been author
lied for the fight against :he army worm,
but the Secretary informed Senator Smith
that they were not sufficient to meet the
situation in the south. Senator Smith de-
ciared that the worm seriously threatens
the entire cotton crop, and has already
done great damage

that they are used extensively for ad-

methods for their production have de-

Photographic supplies have become so
simple to manipulate has made results
possible now which even decade ago

The Photographic supply Industry now
has become Of sufficient Importance to
merit consideration by the governments

NEW THINGS IN PHOTOGRAPHY.

gradients would not have kept them run
ming for three months. There is one fac
tory which orders its supplies of potas-
SUM bromide in thirty-ton lots. England
and America produce the greatest guam
tity of photograph supplies, although
they are manufactured to some extent in
Germany and France, and in small guam
titles in several other countries.
Climatic conditions SO far have tended
to restrict the manufacture of most OF
the chemical supplies used in photogra-
ply SO that they must be made in the
temperate regions. Because these prod
ucts are unstable different Attempts have
been made to produce them in the local..
ties in which they are to be used, blu,
so far without success. Although films
are sold which are guaranteed for use
in the tropics there is as yet no means
known by which they might be manu-
featured there.
