Of the photographer to cooperate, is, in
reality, a business risk assumed by the
photographer in the belief that he will
make profit by selling photographs.
Business executives who are solicited
to pay for newspaper publicity are re-
minded that reputable newspapers and
news gathering agencies serving the
press do not accept fees for the publica-
ton of news or photographs and that
any material that is not news finds its
way promptly to the wastebasket. If
an individual is prominent enough to
warrant a newspaper giving his biog-
raphy or photograph space in their
files, the chances are that one of the
accredited press agencies will have sup
piled the data, as a regular feature of
its service of its subscribers and without
cost to the subject, or, if they haven't
they can flash the necessary data over
the wires promptly whenever there is
any occasion for using 1t.

Many people ask me what I think
of altitude flying now. My answer is,
that I would like to equip my little
ship with larger gas tank, would
like to have a supercharged on my
engine and I would like to take the
little ship as high as she would go.
1t seems unfair to me that I should
take oxygen in a tank for myself and
yet expect my engine to work and to
struggle on up, battling away, with
only the very rare air that is found
at those attitudes.

The speed at which fire apparatus, especially the chiefs car, travels through the streets while responding to alarms, was the subject of an in- formal discussion at meeting last night of the board of aldermen and the opinion was expressed That it would be to the advantage of the public from the standpoint of safety to have a system whereby the traf- fife lights could be controlled at fire Headquarters.
 Alderman Waiter R. Falk tele- phoned to headquarters to inquire whether such q system is in oper- ation and upon learning that it had been discussed a fe~ years ago but had not been installed, declared that it was time jt was done. He said he has often seen the chiefs car speed ing through Main street at a rate which he believed to be SD miles an hour and he never failed to eN perience a feeling of fear for .the safety of pedestrians who might make the mistake Of crossing the street. especially women carrying or wheeling children.
 Under the existing arrangement a policeman climbs the ladder into the traffic tower at Main and West Main streets and turns the lights to am- Der. as soon as he hears the fire alarm, but 1t was pointed out, valuable time would be saved If a fireman at headquarters had only 10 turn switch and accomplish the same result.
