The second species, the Non-Veno-

so numerous as the Drug Store species,
is still to be found in abundance at va
rious vacation points, particularly sum-
mer bungalows. The principal marks
of Identification are Cd increased COM
plexity of Photographic paraphernalia,
and (2) developer stains on the right
hand thumb and first finger and hypo
stains on the clothing. This type pro
duces pictures in much smaller quaint
ties than does the drug store type-for
one thing, because he develops and
prints them himself-but makes far
more fuss about it.

He hasn't delved very deeply, mayhap'

which the subjects lie upon their
stomachs facing the camera, their heels
in the air. Other and self-explanatory
variants are the Lockstep, the Ladder,
and the Watermelon Eating formations.
The Elephantiasis variety is great
favorite, especially at the seashore. Inc
effect of this in the print is of number
of brobdingnagian boot-soles sitting on

effect is produced by chalking letters on

Not quite all vacation photographs
are groups-not quite. There is the
small child embracing Newfoundland
dog, the title of which is generally
"Chums." Another well-liked subject
is the gentleman-or, more rarely, lady
holding up IA small yellow perch on
a string. This is known as "a Good
Days Catch"
The Embrace is subject that has
long fascinated vacation photographers,
but it is dangerous to handle, and may
make trouble in after years. For IN

quite forgetting to take any pictures
at all.
The non picture-taker will spend
months in building himself new ana
very complicated form Of camera, or ID
connecting some especially noxious de-
veloper. Just as all is completed and he
seems on the brink of taking a picture,
he detects some flaw in his work that
makes the whole thing useless, and so
goes back and begins all over again.
But on one point all amateur photog-
raphers agree, be they rookie or heavy
artistic, dub or shark: the choice of SUBJ
iect. When vacation time comes along
they all meet on common ground. Fifty
years have revolutionized the methods
of taking pictures, but they have left
the subjects untouched.
The favorte-nay, the basic-sub.
iect of all vacation photographs is the
Group. There are number of varie-
ties. First and most widespread is the
Plain or Front Steps variety. In this
the subjects are placed seated in as
cending rows, either on the front steps
of a summer hotel or against the side
of a hill. A variant is the Silhouette
group, in which the arrangement is
similar, except that an open sky is used
as the background. The subjects are
thus caused to appear black against
white, producing the effect of group
of negro delegates at Republican con-
vention.

ARE WOMEN PEOPLE?
Bv Alice Duer Miller

For those people who express alarm
lest legislators through fear may yield
to the demands of the suffragists, we
call attention to speech of Lord Ma
caulay's on July 5, 1881:
81 am far indeed from wishing th..t
the members of this House should be in
fluenced by fear, in the bad and UNI
worthy sense of the word. But there is
an honest and honorable fear which we'll
becomes those who are intrusted with
the dearest interests of a great commit
nifty, and to that fear am not ashamed
to make an earnest appeal"
We notice that when "The Times"
speaks of the vote for absent men it
calls it, editorially and through letters,
a privilege, a relief and a luxury.
But it always tells women the vote is
a burden.

l wonder what the
- summer vacationist of fifty years
~ ago did with himself. How did

~ ago did with himself. How did
one make the time pass in those dark,
dark ages when the kodak was unheard
of and the amateur photographer as yet
unborn? To be sure, one had mountains
and lakes and oceans and that sort OF
thing, Just as we have now; but that
sort of thing doesn't make vacation.
To the average present day vacatlonst
a mountain is neither to be looked at
nor climbed. 1t is something to be kept
sternly in its place.
That place is in the background, the
background of kodak print, the fore
ground being reserved for the portrait
of jolly group Of vacation acqualnt-
ances with their arms about one an
other-titIe: "The Gang"
In a way l envy the elder day vaca-
zionist. When he went away for the
summer he saw something of the places
he visited and the people he met. He
had to. in fact, if he wanted to bring
back any memories at all. He may have
gone sketching upon occasion, but ones
own sketches are chiefly useful as re-
minder of the way things did not look
In general he had to depend upon his
ewes and his ears for material with
which to bore his friends after ne got
back.
The camera has changed all that.
We no longer go to the country to con-
template nature. We go to photograph
her-or rather our acquaintances-tor
we rarely photograph nature unadorned.
We use her as a prop, as something Tor
our portrait subjects to recline upon or
lean against or stand in front OF. Many
man has never seen the Delaware
Water Gap except in the ground glass
of a camera or through the interstices
of a group of friends.
The genus Amateur Photographer
NAV be subdivided into three man
species. The first of these, in point OF
numbers and the lowest in point OF de-
velopment. is the Rookie, or Drug Store,
species. 1t is this type that is most
abundant around summer resorts. 1t
NAV generally be identified by the
minute size of camera carried and the
rapidity with which it snaps at sur
rounding objects. A well developed
male specimen has been known to take
as many as twenty-four snapshots IN an
hour without apparent fatigue.
Like the Justly celebrated Goldfish,
however, the Rookie photographer is
more prolific than judicious. The NOR
tality rate among his pictorial offspring
is something appalling. Not that ne
cares, though. With his output he can
afford few failures.
For him the science of photography
begins and ends at Thomson's drug
store or Ye Hillside Noveltye Shoppe,
whittier he goes to leave rolls of ex-
posed film and, four days later, to re-
ceive the finished prints. Ye Hillside
Noveltye Shoppe is conscientious to a
fault. Every negative is printed Cat
three cents per PRINT with nice white
margin around it, regardless of whether
anything shows or not. If the picture
of the baby that you worked half an
hour to get shows three heads growing
where one should properly grow, thus
rendering it practically useless for pur
poses of identification, that's not the
fault of Ye Shoppe, is it?

LATE BLIGHT AND POTATO ROT

The past summer with it's unusual
moisture has furnished splendid con-
ditions for the late blight and rot of
potatoes, says Prof. C. w. Michel of
Brookings in the Dakota Farmer. No
doubt many potato growers this fall
have noticed a partial rotting of pota-
toes at the time of digging. A num-
Der of the different samples sent to the
State College for examination ere in
fected with late blight. The fungus
does not attack the potato until the
iowering period and thus is known as
late blight.
At the time Of poisoning OIL soon
after that the underside of the leaves
near the tips and at the margins will
be seen to be covered with a downy
white growth which is most noticeable
early in the morning or just after a
rain. This downy appearance which s
known as "downy mildew" is the fun
gus Phytophora. The infection at this
time is slight and generally not MOTTO
ed. When the conditions of weather
are favorable the disease spreads
quickly to other vines and the diseased
areas in this way continually enlarge.
, The leaves at first show a watersoaked
appearance; later the affected portions
! die and blacken. The infected fields at
this time give off a strong odor.
At the time of digging, a percentage
Of the tubers usually show a rot which
ordinarily appears first on the upper
side of the tuber lying nearest the sur
face of the ground. In the earliest
stage it appears as a slightly brownish
discoloration of the skin. In a damp
heavy soil this rotting usually spreads
rapidly over the surface and proceeds
inward so that the entire tuber browns
and decays before harvest, forming
what is called wet rot" The rot itself
is due to bacteria which follow after
the fungus has done it's work. In drier
soils the disease progresses slower
and it's brown color extends only to a
depth of Is to IA of an inch. The APP
pearance of this type is that of dry rot.
Unlike the ordinary dry rot Of South
Dakota, which usually starts at the
stem end Of the potato, the rot of late
blight may start any place in the tuber.
If the tubers are kept in a properly
cool dry cellar the dry rot is soon
checked and may even pass the winter
in this state. If the temperature is
not kept low the infected potatoes will
decay and will infect sound potatoes in
the same bin. The fungus winters over
in the tuber and is not killed by formal
dehyde, so infected potatoes should
never be used for seed. Fortunately
frequent sprayings with Bordeaux mix
ture during the growing season will
prevent the spread of late blight.
