CAMERA ART

The recent convention of the Photographers AS
socaton of America has emphasized the artistic quail
ity- of modern photography and the wide variety Of
beautiful pictures which can be made by who
bines accuracy in using his camera with knowledge of
composition light and shade and other pictorial essen
tals
The perfection of the modern makes it
possible for amateur to do beautiful work and
of picture making 1t is the same perfection which is
making hunting with increasingly popular
and has helped check the zeal for hunting with
other deadly weapon. And it is the perfection of
the camera plus the courage of the photographer
which has made it possible to fill our newspapers and
magazines and lecture with accurate and mar
velous pictures taken in far countries, high noun
tans beneath the at the edge of volcanoes and in
depths of jungles.
Biographies, histories, and other text books today
have far fascinating illustrations than
before possible, because OF the camera
The camera will never crowd out the work of the
wholly creative artist who paints draws But the
camera has made possible another branch of art which
is increasingly worth while.

COMMANDMENTS BOILED DOWN

commission revising the prayer book of the
Episcopal Church recommends shorter version Of
the Ten Commandments, reducing each to
tence, as follows:
Thou shalt have none other God but
Thou shalt not make thyself any craven image,
nor the likeness of anything that is in Heaven the
earth beneath in the waters under the earth thou
shalt not bow down to them worship them.
Thou shalt not take the of the Lord thy God
in vain.
Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath Day.
= Honor thy father and thy mother.
4 Thou shalt do no murder.
Thou shalt not commit adultery
:. Thou shalt not steal. -. .
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy
neighbor.
Thou shalt not covet.
TO anyone who can endure any tamperlng at all
with the standard English translation of the Deca-
logue this version will probably recommend itself
clearer and easier to learn keeping the meaning of the
original very we'll while discardng some details not
regarded essential as they long ago.
But If this principle is accepted it as if the
commission might we'll apply it effectively than
it has done to the Second Commandment. The max
ing of graven images was strictly forbidden among
the ancient Hebrews because of the tendency
to dolatry, in imitation of neghborng peoples. The
real prohibition, sought prohibition of ido-Wor
ship. The making Of images craven or otherwise, can
not be forbidden today 1t might be permissible to
condense that Commandment in some such form as
Thou shalt not worship idols

RECORD THR0NCS
PAY TRIBUTE TO
BEACH BEAUTIES
by United Press Leased Wire

LONG BEACH, Calf, Aug. To-
Record throngs paid tribute to the
bathing beauty at Long Beach s
most widely trumpeted surf contest.
The efforts of churchmen and re-
formers to halt the annual pageant
of pulchritude, had served merely to
advertise the event, and Il crowd
estimated at 100000 motored to the
pike from every section Of Southern
California to witness the display.
Several of the crusaders against
the immoral ana indecent expos
ure' stood at street corners leading
to the beach town and cXhorted in
coming visitors to ''stay away from
that immoral display of indecency. >
They were given what the tech
nicians call the royal raspberry. >
Bert Lytell, film star, was master
of the ceremonies. \ coterie of
feminine beauties from the Holly
wood studios acted as judges,
awarding first prize to Marjorie
Williamson, of Long Beach.
1t is not likely that the annual
pageant will ever be voted away.
Merchants did thriving business
Sunday and Long Beach received
more free publicity on the one event
than its chamber of commerce has
put over in year.

to his sister.

Weczic. ''If there was only some
game we could play while we sat

"What would be nice?' asked
Uncle Wiggily, who, just then, came
hopping up the path. He had been
to the store to get some things that
Nurse Jane needed in her kitchen.
4 We want nice game that we can
play in the shade, answered Wiz
zic, who was Weczie's twin brother.
''Why not play the bean bag
game?'' asked the bunny rabbit
gentleman and still he twinkled his
pink nose very slowly, for it was
stIll quite warm.

BIG MEN FOR DRY JOBS

drying up New York Illinois, Michigan and otner dlf-
ficut states. With the wettest spots mopped up he
believes it would be far easier TO handle the others
There many in the country who could ham
die the job. But here's the rub-the government only
has enough money TO pay $4,000 to $4,000 year tor
its enforcement officers Congress has only pro-
vded $4,000 900 for the work altogether So it must
be largely labor of love and duty the part of the
hgh-power business executives if they obtalnable
Even if there funds available public opinion
does not sanction big salaries for big public Jobs
One thing sure--f there much ntclll-

House Under Dispute
Built and Occupied

No report having been received
from Judge John H. Kirkham on
the attempted revocation OF a per-
nit for a Highland Terrace home
already built by John f. Kibourne,
the incident Is now generally believed
to be closed.
Kilbourne applied for permit to
build his home and his application,
now on file at the office of Chief
Building Inspector Edward J. Hen
messy. specifies two-family dwell
ing, 35X40, TO cost $4,000. No
hearing was given owners of prop
cry in that neighborhood. At the
time his application was filed the
commission held hearings whenever
application was made for a permit
to build house having greater
number Of housing units than others
in the neighhorhood.
When it became apparent that
the dwelling was not to be Of the
single family type, residents filed a
protest through Alderman John F.
Maerz, setting forth that Kilbourne's
house is the only one in the neigh
borhood not Of the single family
type.
The common council referred the
matter to Judge kirkham for a re-
port but none was presented at last
nights meeting. While the appeal
was pending work was completed on
the house and it is now occupied.
