in plenty, and one must always take
heed Of what position one Is in to
make a hasty backward movement
from the bars with ample clearance.
Never for a moment must one relax
vigilance, for their moods and move

decisions are invariably against the

Never if I can avoid it, for the

as you enter the inclosure of animal
or bird, he or she or they, as the case
may be, either register fright, undue
curiosity or other unnatural attitudes
or moods" Often, when it is neither
dangerous to the animal nor unduly

where the surroundings do not lend
themselves to good results, I am able

(well-known animal photographer >,


T%OR many years it has been my
L. contention that in most in
A stances far more valuable pho
tographic studies of animals,
Birds and reptiles can be made by
using captive specimens rather than
disturbing their normal life in far
aistant forests or jungles. This con-
tention is based upon long years Of
experience in both spheres. I have
lain for hours in blinds in equatorial
Angles while red bugs, fire ants and
Their ilk have tattooed my body with
HE able assistance of swarms of mos
6nitoes.. I admit the thrill Of ad-
venture in foreign lands and the lure
"a the quest, but the Photographic
Hesults never have equaled those I
Nave obtained in our great National
theological Park in Washington.
- Many American ZOOS maintain large
md varied collections of the worlds
Hauna, but in many instances the
methods of exhibition are far more
desirable from the standpoint of the
naturalst-photographer. On the other
HAND, the Washington Zoo, occupying
Alarge area in the natural settings OF
Nock Greek Park, offers ideal sur
Fcundings for the exhibition of wild
iEfe and unequaled advantages to the
Ferious worker in animal portraiture.
Furthermore, the generous and SYM
uathetic cooperation accorded both
~ the officials and keepers is some
thing I have enjoyed for nearly two
Neoades, including the untiring assist
Aiice Of that grand old man of Ameri-
Asn ZOOS. Head Keeper William H.
B1ackburne, who knows and loves his
animals and whose animals know and
1eye him.
So To return to my contention in re-
fHrd to captive animal photography
versus wild animal photography, 1t Is
only reasonable to assume that no
self-respecting tiger, lion or jaguar,
whether in his lair or roaming the
'wide-open spaces on personal business,
wishes the attention of the photog-
rapher. He naturally resents any
attempts to bring him back alive either
in q cage or on plate or film.
TN MOST instances the Photographic
- results thus obtained reveal this
resentment, else they are made In sur
,roundings which render the pictures
Sof little value to student, taxidermiSt,
artist or sculptor. Then again. In far
too many cases, such pictures are made
with showmanship rs the first consid-
seration, regardless Of the true nature
sof the creatures to be depicted, and
soften with less consideration for the
well being of the animals. It is far
from my desire to discount the merits

Of all the many animals exhibited
in ZOOS, those I fear the most from
the standpoint of possible personal
injury are the bears. Despite their
bulk and numbering movements, they
possess incredible agility and speed,
coupled with an uncanny cunning.
Furthermore, their strength cannot be
judged even by their weight and size.
A full-grown grizzly can crush the
skull of full-grown bullock with one
blow of a forepaw. If one of these
creatures gets so much as a single

ton Zoo, making both still and motion
pictures. Never for an instant have
I permitted myself to be of guard.
As rule, with keeper present,
one cannot get natural studies, for the
animals are not at their ease, and so,
with special permission, I have often
been alone with cameras within the

Verbal action will be plentiful, it is expected at the meeting of City Amateur League officials tonight ct 8 o'clock at the central "Y", most of the excitement to center around the election of officers, several candi- dates having developed for the of- flee of president and secretary George T. Casey, president of the league for the past two years Is, as far as known, candidate to Suc- ceed himself and will probably be voted upon tonight, as well as Harry x.

 A flock of candidates for the league secretaryship, are expected to be named with the announce ment of the resignation of Cliff Mo- Hale, who has business interests to take up his time this year. Among them are Robert Kiersted, Henry cGrath, Maurice Ryan and George Dillon. The selection of collectors and naming of umpires may also be gotten around to this evening, with report from committee named to secure coin boxese of the trolley car type, will also be made.
 Though the league is figured to take form with not more than six teams, the bid of the Watertown Princetons and Wilson A. 0. will come up for discussion, the manag- CTS vote to decide upon any in- crease in membership.
