LESSONS IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Lsson x
Photographing Children

From experience, and conversation
with other Photographers, | have
learned that in the last two years,
that the majority of children have
become so restless, nervous, timid,
fgidty or contrary, that it is almost
impossible to get a photo of them.
This can be attributed to the WAR"
or to the cause of fast living, rest
lessness of the parents or too much
indulgence by the parents. Too
many mothers let their children have
their own way at home, or anywhere,
and expect the Photographer to get a
good picture of them. If the mother
or father can't CONTROL them how do
thehy expect a stranger to.
Now. Babies up to one year old
should not be attempted to be hhoto-
graphed when tired, sleepy or rest
less. Wait until they are normal and
fresh, just after a long and undis-
turbed nap. Then don't fondle them
and play with them, as lots of times
that gets them restless and spoils the
whole business.
Then. Children from one to even
years old should NEVER be told that
they are "going to have their Picture
made" Nine out of ten don't know
what it means and imagine it is some
thing awful, get scared and have that
expression on their face in the pic
ture. You should take timid children
to the studio two or three times be-
fore attempting to have their photos
made. Tell the Photographer that
you want the child to get acquainted
with him and get used to the place,
so you may get a picture with a
natural expression. Let him play
with them a short time each time they
are brought, but never mention to
them a thing about making pictures.
A lot of trouble? Well, don't you
think it worth it? If you don't, don't
take the trouble. Don't take the
whole family, and a dozen of the
neighbors with you when you are 60
ing to the studio. One of the par
ents, outside Of the ones to be photo
graphed, is all that should go along,
as others only worry the children, al
so the photographer, who has to have
the patience of JOB. Don't ye.
sore at the photographer if he speaks
a little gruff, or offers suggestions.
If you were in his place you would
probably loose your religion, and say
things that were not fit to use in
politics.

week.

MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT BIG FLOODS

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mr.. NJ. G. Wright, giving
further information about the Texas
floor in which his brother and other
relatives were drowned:
Corpus Christi, Texas,
Oct. s., 1919.
Dear Uncle Mat:
Your letter received some days
since and was glad to hear from you;
Well | went over on the other side of
the bay this week and got fathers
papers, that man, Mr.. Malone, was
sure an honest man, he had papa's
watch and two pocket knives and two
purses, one of them had some change
in it and his discharge, dated June
Both, 1865 and the writing on 1t is
still Just as plain as the day it was
written, and he had a time deposit
check for some money he had on time
deposit at Amarillo, and he also had
$131.00 in bills in his pocket, all IN
good shape. l guess he must have
put those papers in his pocket before
the house went down, as l don't
think he carried them with him all
the time. ,
Well, Uncle Mat, you can't start
to imagine how destructive that storm
was. Opal, my second girl, called
her aunt Dona up about II O'Clock
on Sunday and asked her if she was
not coming to town out of the storm,
and she laughed right big and said,
no! she was not scared, the storm was
not as bad as the other n and she
did not think there was any danger,
and in less than two hours their house
was washed away and they were
drowned. That is, papa, mamma and
Dona were drowned right there close
to the house and Mr.. Harris, father,
mother and sister were drowned a
little later, further out in the bay, but
there were 6 drowned out of that one
house and my wife's mother and
brother and his wife lived about 20
blocks further out on the beach than
we did and they all washed away and
we have never heard from any OF
them. Our folks lived on the same
street we did, but IL blocks further
out, and Mr.. Harris told me yesterday
that he got his car out and started
with part of them to town but he had
a bayou to cross and when he got to
it, the water was too deep and they
went back and tried to get all the
folks to 60 with him and walk the
