Hejuht of a Camera,

A safe rule in most cases, is to
have the camera at such a height
that the lens is about level with the
eyes of a person of average height.
standing. This implies that most tri-
pod stands, all ultra portable ones, are
too short in the leg, as even those
which allow the camera to be at this
height only do so when the feet are
so near together that the stand is
unstable. With lenses of short focus
it is usually advantageous, especially
in interior work, to have the camera
lower, while with very long focus
lenses it may be higher to avoid a
foreshortening of the ground. In the
case of domestic interiors, 1t is i'm
portant to have the lens well above
the level of a table top, as the effect
of the furniture seen from a lower
viewpoint will be unsatisfactory.

DRAGGING HIGHWAY BY AUTO
With Little Expense Farmers With
Cars Can Keep Roads In Good
Condition Year Round.

In a recent number of 1.-THE Farm
ing Business" Is a suggestion that
might well be adopted by farmers who
own automobiles. In some sections
farmers are hitching a road drag to
the auto when taking a trip to town
or anywhere else on the roads. The
car pulls the drag along the mile or
two of road that the farmer cares to
keep up. Then, on the way home, he
picks up the drag where he left 1t and
drags the other side Of the road 60
Ing back, making such a round each
time the car is taken out.
With the rapid increase of automo-
biles in the rural districts, this plan
ought to serve to keep the roads in
better condition than ever before.
There is no doubt that a persistent
use of the drag will accomplish more

Indeed, the notion of even a simple

by Frederica's first call. Being a cele-

aphragm principle to tire pumps

a pump of this type practical.
The diaphragm is backed by a metal

located in the plate which opposes the
