Studied BY
Girl Scouts

Pinhole cameras have been the
pets of large group of Girl Scouts
during the summer at Camp Dell
wood. The girls themselves con-
struct these cameras, then make
pictures with them.
Under the guidance Of Miss Isa-
bella Adamson. councillor Of pho
Biography, a dark room was con-
structed in one half of box car,
and equipped for this activity.
Girl Scouts made the cameras
from cardboard, with a brad to hold
the shutter, and an inch square of
black paper, in the exact center of
which they punch with needle) a
pin mole" This is the lens. All
this at cost of Is cents.
Cameras completed, the girls
must master the science Of picture
making. They load their cameras
with one cut film, each in the dark
room. They are then ready to
struggle over composition, back
grounds, shadows and highlights.
For just any kind Of picture is not
acceptable in this craft. Many fail
of perfection because they cannot
keep themselves or their subjects
perfectly still while they count
twenty for the exposure.
Back in the dark room, they I'M
load their films, give them four
baths-developing, fixing, and two
plain ones-at a temperature of ex-
aetly IS degrees. The precious
films are kept cool by two electric
fans. An alarm clock is used as
timer.
Next, the girls take turns at the
print box, black affair with a deep
red bulb burning within. This time
each counts only ten, and If she
has not erred anywhere along the
line, she pulls out a good picture.
During the first three periods of
camp, eighty girls have chosen to
follow this activity and twenty-five
of that number have qualified for
the photographers merit badge.
These successful ones, and others
who make the grade during the
next period will be presented the
badges at the court of awards to be
held at the camp on Aug. IA.

AKERSON LEAVES
WHITE HOUSE POST
President Far From Decision
on Whom to Name as
New Secretary.

George Akerson, who rendered his
resignation as one of President Hoovers
secretaries more than a month ago to
become an executive of the Paramount
Publix Corporation, laid down his White
House duties at noon today and after
shaking hands with his associates and
his chief departed Immediately for New
York to take up his new duties.
1t was said at the White House today
that Mr.. Hoover is far from making up
his mind in the matter of a successor
to Mr. Akersen and that 1t is likely that
his position will remain vacant for two
or three weeks longer. Any number OF
names have been suggested to the Pfesi-
dent for consideration, but either those
suggested felt compelled to have them
selves dropped from consideration or
else they did not appeal to the Presi-
dent.
With Mr.. Akersen's departure today,
President Hoover fnds himself for the
flrst time since becoming President
ftinctioning with only two secretaries.
Until the post has been filled these
two secretaries-Walter Newton and
Lawrence Richey-will take turns in
carrying on the work formerly done by
Mr.. AkefSons Mr.. newton, who has
charge of the Presidential business
classified as being of political or pa
tfonage nature, will be the press con-
tact secretary until the President fills
Mr.. Akersor's place. Mr.. Richey, who
attends to the Presidents more per-
sof1al business, and who is In charge of
the Executive once personnel, will &C.
cupy Mr.. Akerson's office. which adjoins
that OF the President, during the fore
moons for the purpose Of making en-
gagements and receiving callers. In
the afternoons Rudolph Foster, execu-
tive clerk of the White House, will oc-
cupy Mr.. Akerson's desk.
Mr. Akersor has been associated
with Mr.. Hoover officia1ly since 1928,
when the President was Secretary Of
Commerce.
Mr.. Akerson held his last conference
with newspaper. correspondents at 10
O'Clock this morning and shook hands
with the group Of men who have COW
cred the White House regularly and
with whom he had been closely assn.
ciated both as secretary to the Presl-
dent and formerly as Washington
correspondent himself.

Special Gifts Unit Keeps in Field OF

In connection with the work Of the
special gifts unit In the Community
Chest campaign Newbold Noyes, the
chairman, today said;
"One thing should be clearly under
stood by the washington public. This
is that the special gifts unit, In Its
effort to raise $4,000 odd thousand
dollars, or IS much as all the other
units In the campaign combined, has
bent every effort to do the task as
signed to 1t, and that the wealthy of
washington, and those who suffer under
the popular misrepresentation that they
should be classified as wealthy, have
responded admirably to our appeal.
"As has been pointed out, the average
gift involved in the total Of $o22, sos. 80
subscribed by 1877 individuals through
this unit Is we'll over $1,000, or more
than 100 times the average gift turned
in through other units.
whereas last year our unit obtained
Its goal, it did SO by invading other
fields and upward of /, 300 subscriptions
were involved In our total to the disAd-
vantage of other units This year we
have confined ourselves n1eticulously to
the cards assigned to us, and of those
cards scores have been reported through
other units AS close an estimate as our
figures now permit shows that upward
OF 950,000 of what we were expected TO
collect has been reported through group
governmental and metropolitan solicita-
ton.
I'VE have only one regret for this
fact. Our fundamental concern is that
the total quota of the Chest be over
subscribed, ana from this viewpoint IL
seems now fairly certain that the Chest
will this year prove a splendid success
But we should regret the erroneous COM

our full quota, that so-called wealthy

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator eehall, Republican, Mime
sofa. today resumed his attack on At
torney General Mitchell for the latter's
refusal to i1ldofse Ernest Michel as Fed
eral judge for Minnesota.
schall, in formal statement, said
Mitchell was "defying' the constitu-
tional injunction that nominations be
made with the advice and consent"
Of the Senate. He cited letter written
by Mitchell In connection with the ap-
pointrneft Of John J. Parker of North
Carolina to the Supreme Court.
Charges Party Sabotage.
THE whole purpose OF the letter"
Schall said, was to show that the
Parker nomination originated entirely
With Mitchell. Well 1t Is to be hoped
that he Is still proud OF Il, for no one
else appears to be.
1T is we'll recognized now that the
nomination, by alternating the labor and
colored vote, caused the loss OF several
states from the Republican party In
me recent election: OF course, that
Democrat he doubtless laughs to him
self At the way he has been able to
sabotage the Republicans from the
inside"
Criticises Testimony.
Schall also renewed his criticism of
Mitchell for his part in the Govern
ment's attempt to collect 81, 900, 900 from
the estate OF Mrs James j. Hill.
Mitchell, SchAll said. appeared as q
witness In the case before the Circuit
Court, and Mitchells testimony, he said,
constituted about third of the judge &
opinion.
An ordinary sense Of decency." said
the Senator, would have precMded
Mitchell from appearing In any cApacity
before judges who had been made to
feel that their future promotion de.
pended upon him."
