sruOY HOLDING OF CAMERA
Syoccssful Work With the Instrument
Depends Largely on Its Being In
Proper Position.

Successful hand-camera work de-
pends largely on the power to give
slow shutter exposures with the cam
era held in the hand. and In this coz
nection sufficient attention Is rarely
given to the matter Of grip" II Is
not enough to hold the camera firmly
against the chest or stomach. The
best position must be found by trial,
and this viii vary with different In
d.yiduals and different makes Of
camera. In general 1t win be found
that the most comfortable position is
the steadiest. At waist level the
hands will be usually placed SYM
metrically on either side Of the instru-
ment, the right, near the release, for
ward, and the other a little behind.
When the camera is held at eye level,
one hand is usually held rather under
the instrument as support, and the
other grips the back or side, or with
folding type of camera both hands
may grip the back. With the very
small types, one hand often almost In
closes the instrument and releases the
shutter, whilst the other is used as a
support. AT eye level 1t is often a
great assistance to a steady aim to
press the back Of the camera against
the cheek. Just as the feel Of q fa-
vorlte gun gives confidence, so the
use Of the camera should be familiar,
and regular and systematic practice
with the unloaded camera will be a
great help In this. Trial exposures
should be given from time to time, and
the resulting negatives carefully ex-
amined. At first fairly short exposures
only should be given, to gain conf
dence, gradually employing slower
speeds as the hand Is trained and
nerve Is acquired.

and what he had said to them. We
knew Mr.. Gerard had got the Germans
10 make conditions better In some OF
the worst hell.holes In. Germany and
the men were always glad when he
came around. They felt they had some
thing better to look forward to and
some relief from the awful misery.
Mr.. Gerard was passing through the
French barracks and man I knew
there told him there was an American
there. The Germans did not want him
to see me, but he put up an argument
with the commanding officer and they
finally said he could interview me. l
never was so glad to see anyone as
was to see him. The picture Is still
with me Of him coming In the door.
We talked for about an hour and a
half, guess, and then he got up to
60 and he said would hear from him
In about three weeks. Just think what
good news that was to mel

Gerard was there. for they said he was
the only man In Germany they could
tell their troubles to. The reason was
that he was strong for the men. no
matter what nationality. and put his
henrt Into the work. I am one OF
those who cannot say enough good
things about him. Like many others
II II had not been for Mr.. Gerard

A few days after this I was slow

so I went for the sentry and wal.

his bayonet through the fieshy part Of
the forearm. Most bayonet wounds
that we got were in the arm. But

On the way we changed trains ai

children who were rloting for food.

Then I wns forced Into my wet
clothes and marched back to the bar
racks. This bath and the stroll
through the snow In wet clothes Just
nbout did for me. Nowadays, when
sit In a draft for SECOND and catch
cold, I wonder that am stIll alive to
catch II. Having gone through Dix
nude and the Dardnnelles and the
sinking OF the Georgic and four Ger
man prison camps and few other
thlngs-I shall probably trip over n
hole In n church carpet and break my
neck. That would be my luck.
There were all the diseases you can
think Of In this camp, including black
cholera and typhus and somebody was
always dying. We had to make collins
from any wood we could find. SO 1t
was not long before we were using the
dividing boards from our hunks, pieces
Of flooring and. In fact, the walls Of

and put the body In 1t, give II as much
service as we could, In the way Of
prayers and hymns, and put II away In
a hole near the barracks. There was
so much Of II that single death
passed unnoticed.
One morning the German sentries
came to our. barracks-they never
came slngly-and told us that an off,
Ger was going to review the prisoners
and ordered us to muster up, which we
did. Twas the last man out Of the bar

CHAPTER XXI.
Tho Hell Hole Of Germany.

On arriving at Brandenburg we were
marched the three or four miles north
west 10 the camp. While we were be-
Ing marched through the streets a
woman walked alongside OF us for
quite way. talking 20 the boys In
English and asking them about the
war. She said she did not believe
anything the German papers printed.
She said she was nn Englishwoman
from Liverpool and that at the out
break Of the war not being able to
get out OF Germany. she and her chill
dren had been put In prison and that
every day for over week they had
put her through the third degree; that
her children had been separated from
her and that she did not know where
they were.
She walked along with us Cor several
blocks until sentry heard her say
something not very complimentary to
the Germans and chased her away.
When we arrived at the camp we were
put into the receiving barracks and
kept there six days. The condition OF
these barracks was not such that you
could describe It. The floors were ac-
tunlly nothing but filth. Very few of
the hunks remained the rest had been
torn down--for fuel. suppose.
The day we were transferred TO the
regular prison barracks four hundred
Russians and Belginns were buried.
Most OF them had died from cholera.
typhoid and inoculatlons. We heard
from the prisoners there before us that
the Germans had come through the
camps with word that there was an

epidemic OF black typhus and cholera
and that the only thing for the men to
do was to take the serum treatment to
avoid catching these diseases. Most Of
the four hundred men had died from
the inoculations. They had taken the
Germans word, had been inocuated
and had died within nine hours. Which
shows how foolish II is to believe a
German. None of us had any doubt
but what the serum was poisonous.
The second day that we were In the
regular camp the Germans strung
barbed wire all around our barracks.
They told.us we had case of black
typhus among us. This was nothing
more nor less than bluff, for not one
Of us hud typhus, but they put up the
wire, nevertheless, and we were not
allowed to go out.
One dny when was loaflng around
our barracks door and not having any
thing particularly important to do, I

sentry not fur away. When he looked
around he did not blow his whistle but
began hunting for the thrower. This
was strange In German sentry and l
thought he must be pretty good stuff.
When he looked around, however, all
he saw was a man staggering around
as II he We're drunk. The man was
the one who had done the throwing, all
right, but the sentry could not be sure
of 1t, for surely no man would stay
-out In the open and invite accidents
like that. But still, who had done itf

SIOUX CITY LIVE STOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Aug. 26.-Less than
200 head of cattle arrived for the
closing day of the week and the mar
ket was practically a continuation of
that of yesterday. Total for the six
day period foots up 10.772, which is
a falling off as compared with last
week, but measuring up about the
same as the corresponding time a
year ago. Changes in the market for
the week have been in the way of
betterment. Under the influence of
lighter supplies and encouraging adj
vices from outside points the deal
started developing strength after
Monday. and closing quotations for
most classes of beef cattle are any
where from csc @s1.OO higher than
a week ago. Stock cattle trade has
carried a strong tone and a good
clearance has been made by dealers
with prices showing a net advance of
25 q Acc for the week.

Marked Variation in Yield
OF Income and Profits for
Different States This Year

Wide variation In the yield of In.
come and excess profits taxes In differ
ent states this year, as compared with
income tax payments last year, was
shown by ~tabulations of the internal
revenue bureau at Washington. Eight
times as much revenue was received
from these sources this year as last
in the entire country, the comparative
figures being 1881. O00,0 900 and $780,
100000, yet the increases by states
ranged from 2.6 times for idaho, Utah
and Montana to 10 times for MISSISSIPPI
pi, Alabama and West Virginia. New
York state ranked first In the volume
of income and excess profits taxes re-
turned this year, yet the increase yer
last years yield was only 8 1-3 times.
Tax officials. 1t Is said. have found II
impossible to draw definite conclusions
concerning tax ~evasions from the tab
ulatlons.
