Portraits Indoors
Are Easily Made
By Camera Fans
By Joseph Raymore.

4 PICTURE of a person, often
= showing only the head and part
of the shoulders, is called portrait.
This type Of picture is easy for an
amateur photographer to take. Por-
traits are more pleasing in appearance
if they are taken indoors, because the
subject may be seated in chair, and
the walls and furnishings of the room
make an attractive background.
Bright, sunny days should be Sc
lected for taking portraits. Have the
subject sit in a chair and be sure TO
get good light on the face. This is
accomplished by having the subject
sit near a window where the sun is
shining on 1t. The camera must be
placed close to the person being pho
tographed; 6 to feet is the usual
distance. The subject should not look
directly at the camera, but to one
side of it. The background should be
light colored for persons with dark
hair and dark colored for persons with
light hair.
By looking in the finder on the
camera you can pose the subject and

any easier for Coach Curtis.
The coach was silent for a moment.
Then he got to his feet, and faced

Larry got up. too. They walked
down the stairs together, and Larry
said: well, guess was a little toe

The coach paused at the door

Larry nodded. Sure, Coach" he

firm support. The shutter lever must
be pressed once to open the lens. then
once more to close the lens. Use q
small or medium size lens opening.
If strong sunlight is shining outside
the window by which the subject Is
sitting, an exposure Of three seconds
will be sufficient to take the picture.
In taking indoor time exposures, the
amateur photographer should keep an
accurate record Of all his pictures, so
that when taking similar pictures at
some other time, reference to this
record will tell exactly the conditions
of the light and the length of time
the film was exposed.
Camera supply houses now sell an
attachment for cameras known as a
portrait attachment 1t is an extra
lens that slips over the regular lens on
the camera and allows portraits to be
taken from to feet from the cam
era. These attachments are splendid
for taking Closeup" pictures of flow-
ers and small art objects. Instructions
for their use are furnished with the
attachments.

THE evening meal was scarcely over
when the front doorbell rang.
Larry went to answer it, and when he
pulled the door open and found Coach
Curtis standing on the porch, his eyes
opened while in amazement.
Hello, North" said Coach Curtis.
He paused for a moment, his big body
almost blocking the doorway. Gould

"Of course, Coach" Larry managed
to say Come in"
Hardly knowing how to act. Larry
| led the coach up to his room. Mr..
Curtis took the chair. while Larry sat
down on the bed, staring at his visitor
with slightly defiant eyes.
Coach Curtis sat for a few seconds
with his eyes on the carpet. Then
he raised them and spoke slowly, with
evident difficulty.
Something happened after you left
the locker room this afternoon that I
want to tell you about" he said.
Mike Cattery began to undress, and
suddenly he started talking wildly. We
put him under a shower, and then he
passed out cold.
I'VE called an ambulance and took
him to the hospital because we
couldn't bring him around. I've Just

quite what he was doing"
T AIRY let long sigh of relief es-
cape from his lips. How glad
am that didn't use him on those last
few plays!" he muttered, almost to
himself. But the coach heard him.
That's what I wanted to talk to
| you about" Coach Curtis said. THE
doctor told me that it's miracle Mike
is alive, after playing with this hsad
injury. Another bump on that frac-
ture, even a mild one. might have
killed him instantly. And he was
playing without a headguard at the
very end"
Larry didn't say anything. The
narrowness of Mikes escape left him
feeling weak and little sick. AS foI
Coach Curtis, his face was pale, and
his fingers we're nervously picking al

II guess you know how I felt when

finally said. IF you had followed my

Scuffle Board Can Be Played
With Chalk and Blocks of Wood
BY E. d. KEILMANN.

n YEARLY every boy and girl has
nj played "hop-scotch," but very
few have ever played shuttle
4 board" Let's play both of
them at once and call 1t "scufie
board"
The new game can be played nearly
anywhere. The materials needed are
a piece of chalk, If the game Is played
on q floor, sidewalk or pavement, or
a stick If the game Is played on smooth
dirt, and some square blocks Of board.
such as you can either saw out in a
moments time or pick up about any
carpenters shop.
TWO or four players can take part
in each game. Four ''scufhe
blocks are used by each player If
there are two, or by each side If teams
are playing.
Each player or team stands back Of
the base line" with a block fat on
the sidewalk before him, the foremost
edge of the block resting against the
base line. Then the player stands on
one foot and. with q hop-scotch kick,
attempts to send the block sliding onto
the layout.
The figures on the layout show how
many points are scored by each block.
The players stand on either side Of
the center line and play one after the
other until all four blocks have been
used by each side. Then the total
score Is added.
THE players must play their blocks
beyond the first two parallel lines
or they lose points, as shown in the
layout These points are subtracted
from the score made by blocks resting
inside the lines of the triangle.
OF course, when player has slid
block onto a scoring sector, another
player may ruin that score by sliding
his block against it, knocking 1t out
of the scoring sector. To be sure that
there is no mistaking the blocks used
by either side, distinguished marks
should be made on the blocks with
the chalk.
The game is played for q total Of 50
points. or any sum agreed upon by the
players in advance. The first player
or side to attain the so points wins
the game.

Farm Costs Rise.

DEVELOPMENTS Of the past year
and the improvement Of the gen.
eral employment situation are ex-
pected to cause an increase in the cost
Of production on farms for the COM
ing year.
Already, through the competition of
W. P. A. and similar undertakings
the farmer has found the problem of
obtaining hired hands difficult at
times. Increasing competition with
the cities for labor Is anticipated this
year to come.
During the first half Of the year,
at least, feed prices also will remain
high for the drought caused short
age which another growing season
must replenish.
In the matter of labor costs, this
year found the average at an index
figure Of 11o as compared with the
pre-wsr hsure.

A resolution repudiating NC
Adoo's leadership was adopted by
the county central committee fol-
lowing the lanky senator's attempt
to have President Roosevelt name
the states delegation to the Phil
adelphia convention.
The Epic : Democrats attempted
to cut his feet out from under NC
Adoo by pending unequivocal sup
port to President Roosevelt. Nc
Adoo was reported to have asked
the president to name California's
delegation so that there would be
no question about whether the
delegates were pledged to his re-
election.
Row on Pledges
The battle between McAdoo and
Sinclair started when the senator
declared Cali9ornia's representa-
tives to the convention should be
pledged only to the president while
Epic supporters insisted that it
also be pledged to obtain a prod
uction-for-u plank in the party's
platform.
Epics, who seized control of the
partys state machinery when Sim
clair won the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination two years ago,
declared their organization had
been formed around the produc-
tion-for-use principle and that if
they did not carry the plan back

to the national convention, the
end poverty league had no basis
for existence.
Meanwhile a ccnciliatory state
ment was issued by State Senator
Culbert l.. Olson, chairman of the
state central committee, who has
been attempting to make peace
with the McAdoo forces without
hurting the Epic cause.
Fight Over "Strings"
Olson declared that all Demo-
Gratis were for selection of a
Roosevelt delegation with no
strings attached" He declared that
the only person who felt strings"
were being attached was Sen. Nc
Adoo.
McAdoo, as a national commit
teeman from California, must ap-
prove the delegation voted upon
at the California primary. Fear
that McAdoo might reject the
delegation was said to- have
prompted Olson's statement.

was dropping from the limelight

were partly confirmed when the

have asked that his name be kept

Ben HulSc was cast in the role
of school master Wednesday.
His sixth annual Caterpillar
Tractor school opened with an at
tendance of nearly four hundred
interested farmers from all over
Imperial Valley.
This is by far the largest at
tendance we have had at any of
our schools" said Hulse, "and sig
nifies a keen interest on the part
of tractor operators in Imperial
Valley in modern diesel equip
ment."
The session opened with an il
lustrated lecture by Harry Vines,
Caterpillar representative, showing
every item of the wide line of
Caterpillar tractor and road ma
chinery equipment.
The lecture was followed by a
taking motion picture depicting
the Caterpillar in action in all
parts of the world. A contrast be-
tween ancient methods of land
tillage in Siam for instance where
hand labor and water buffaloes
provide the motive power with
that of the Caterpillar.
Charlie Cox, diesel engineer for
the Caterpillar company, explain
ed the modern type diesel motors
developed by his company.
Pete Ray was technician IN
charge of the show.
Lunch at noon was served to
nearly five hundred guests with

belts. Perhaps he thought he could
ease his plane down into sWamps
without loss of life. Instead the
plane came crashing with the vel
ocity of a rocket and the belts
acted like knives, cutting bodies in
two.
We stumbled across what ap-
peared to be a body in a pool Of
swamp water near a cypress stump
1t was a body. 1t had no legs.
Yards away we found the legs.
My city editor sent Mervin Ros-
enbugh, jr., photographer and me
to Forrest City, Ark, at the time
the plane was missing. When we
arrived there, it was reported the
plane had crashed near Goodwin,
Is miles to the west. He raced to
the swamp and found several ma
tives standing on the road. We
organized several into a searching
party and entered.
Heard Gun Shots
Finally we heard two pistol shots
from another party. 1t was the
signal that they had found the
plane.
We had progressed but a short
way toward the place where the
shots had sounded, when we
smelled gasoline. Then our feeble
flashlights picked out bits of
wreckage in the trees Then we
stumbled upon one of the motors.
The trees had been sheared off as
by a giant knife. Then we came
to the largest piece of Wreckage-

Bodies were buried in mud and
water. A decapitated body was
discovered. Someone stepped on a

Yuma-Gila Project
Expected to Get
Speedy Approval

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. Is. U.P)-
Arizona authorities were .cheered
today by statement of reclama-
ton commissioner ElWood Mead
that he believed the suspended
Yuma-Gila project would be ap-
proved and reinstated for i'm
mediate construction.
In letter to Gov. B. B. Moeur,
Mead said he considered suspen-
sion of the project by Sec'y. of
Interior Harold IckeS was a "chal-
lenge" to the reclamation bureau
and that he believed a commits
SIGN appointed by Ickes. to deter
mine fertility of the soil would
report the project not only was
feasible but that sit has very not
able advantages when compared
with other projects in the south
west"
DR.. Mead wrote, in part:
Il feel sure that between the
bureau (Of reclamation and the
university (of Arizona) we will
be able to show that not only
was there no reason for the ex-
treme statements indulged in
against the project, but that it
has very notable advantages when
compared with other projects in
the southwest"
Ickes ordered suspension of the
project, which eventually would
irrigate 100000 acres of southwest
ern Arizona with water from the
Colorado river, on the grounds the
department of agriculture had re-
ported the soil was not sufficiently
fertile to justify the expense.
A commission appointed by Ickes
to investigate the soil recently
completed its work and presumably
will report soon to the agriculture
department.
