FINDS WOMAN HARD TO SUIT

People were never so fastidious about their photographs as they are today. That is the conclusion I have come to after thirty years experience.
 One reason for this is the develop ment of rapid photography. The family album type of photograph is dead The snapshot killed it. Now everyone wants to be taken natur- ally, with none of the stiffness and artificiality that characterized the photographs of our grandn2athers.
 In those days the photosrapher in variably used the formula, Look pleasant, pleasei" CT "Now smile." with the result that 1t is almost inn possible to find in any family album of the period a photograph that could be said to be an actual likeness of its subject as he or she appeared at the time.
 The modern photographer, with a Knowledge of psychology as a neces- sary part of his equipment realizes that no one can smile naturally to or der-that the genuine smile comes from within. Consequently he does not exhort the sitter to assume any particular expression, but seeks to
 catch tine best possible likeness smile or no smile. This incidentally. he often manages to do without the sitters knowledge.
 Experience has taught me that a woman's ideal of a photograph diff fers greatly from a mans. Her ideal is beauty; his is personality-indi- viduality.
 Women hate to have their wrink- les shown in their photographs; men | like them.
 Don eradicate my lines" famous general said to me recently. 'It has ! taken thirty-five years of soldering
 to produce theml"
 But women seem to regard the
 photogra pher as a beauty specialist The photograph of the average wom- an requires a good deal of touching up before she is satisfied with it

$s4. 4.ooo, 900 ADDITIONAL
CUT FROM EXPENSES FOR
CURRENT FISCAL YEAR

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-As re-
suit of the economy program which
the present administration inaugur-
ated and has consistently enforced
President Harding has just informed
the Congress. through a letter to
Speaker Gillette, that the estimated
| expenditures for the current, fiscal
year will be s94.000.000 less than an
estimate submitted to the Congress-
on August 4. last, by Secretary Mellon.
Upon that date Secretary Mellon
appeared before the Ways and Means
committee and informed them that
according to the latest advices re-
ceived from the spending departments
and after taking into account all esti-
mated reductions in expenditure re-
ported to date. the Treasury estimates
that the total expenditure for the fis-
cal year for which provision should be
made out of the current revenues Of
the government will be about $4,55O,-
900 ,O00."
Within a week after Secretary Mel
Ion had presented this estimate to the
Committee on Ways and Means. and
after the Secretary had had several
conferences with the Ways and Means
committee. this estimate was revised
downward by $500. 900 900. leaving the
estimated total expenditure for the
current fiscal year about $4.034, ,0O0.-
900.
That was the estimate of 80 days
ago. President Harding, in his letter
to Speaker Gillette. says: "At the
time this statement was made the re-
suits OF the imposition of executive
pressure upon the spending depart
ments. inaugurated at the meeting
called by the President OF the body
Of the business organization of the
government. had not been fully de-
veloped." Within the last 80 days the
results OF this pressure in the direc.
tion of economy have been very
tangible and consequently the Presi-
dent announces the administration
will be able to clip $94. .00O, 900 more
from the estimated expenditure of the
current fiscal year. This will make
total cut OF $614. .00O, 900 from the orig
inal amount which 1t was estimated
would be necessary to run the govern
ment during the current year. The
total expenditures. according to this |
revised estimate communicated to the
Congress- by the President. will be
IS .940. 100000.

$1,1es Is QUOTA FOR DELTA
FOR STATE HOSPITAL

One dollar from each man and wife
in Delta means $1,166, according to
the quota which has been assigned
this city by the university as its fair
apportionment of the $500, 900 now be-
ing asked of the people of the state
for the establishment of the new state
general hospital.
The university is asking 200. 900 per.
sons to invest 81 each toward the as.
tablishment of a new state general
hospital for the care of INDECENT sick
and injured. This means that every
producing adult in the state must con.
tribute 81.
During the week OF November % to
December 3 house-to-house canvass
will be made in practically every city
and town in the state and in order to
provide definite objective for each
community the university has assign.
ed quotas for all cities and towns to
be canvassed.
In assigning these quotas or appor-
tiOnments the population figures as
shown in the 1921 Colorado Year Book
were used. The estimate of the
United States Census Bureau, that the
average family numbers four and one
half. was used as means for de-
termining the number of families in a
community. Assuming that each fam
lily has two heads, so to speak, a man
and his wife. the number OF families
was multiplied by two and the result
assigned as quota. By using this
method the quotas assigned are low
in comparison to the total number Of
producing adults in the communities
to be canvassed. but according to uni
versity authorities, IL every city and
town will make its quota, the 5000, 900
will be raised and the great gift of
100000 from the General Education
Board will come to Colorado. In or
der to raise the quota it will be neces.
sary to make an effort in this com.
munity to obtain 81 from each pro-
ducing adult to compensate for some
heads Of families who may be missed
The first contribution to the fund
was for SIS and the second was for
$50. In announcing this, the univers.
ity calls attention to the fact that con.
tributions of more than 81 can be
made whenever an individual feeles
disposed to do so. The work of or
ganizing for the canvass November 2S
to December will be begun in this
city within few days.
