Eli Alper, Newcomer
To Rockville, Pulls
Trucks With Teeth

Rockville has strong man. He
can pull trucks with his teeth, eat
razor blades for a light lunch and
drive a twenty-penny nail through
an oak plank one inch thick with
his fist.
Eli Alper, for over decade, has
been performing stunts which amazes
the public. Now that he is resident
of Rockville he may take time out
from his furniture business to swal-
low swords for charity. Indeed, Mr..
Alper said he would be glad to
aid any worthy organization with
free exhibition of his prowess.

WHILE WE HOLD few briefs for
several of the items suggested by
Governor Nice in his supplemental
budget, we do believe that his $780,
900 item to the University of Mary
land for the control of Bangs Dis
ease is both timely and weEl-war-
ranted. Maryland is quite dairy
state. Bangs disease, for instance,
affects about IL per cent of the
approximate 16O herds infected in
Montgomery County. The loss is not
so great among the smaller herds,
but in the commercial herds the dis
ease spreads and causes great loss
True, this type Of contagious aDor-
ton has been sought in only eight
or ten commercial herds in the
county. Many of the dairymen have
lodged the test. The only control
is to brand and ear-tag the
reactors and slaughter them. The
Government pays 500 each fol
reactors. The owner also gets the
value of the beef, which may rur
from $25 to $75. The disease is
highly contagious and should bt
checked when first located.

AS WE SEE IT
ROCKVILLE HAS AIN acute park
By MONTCO

ROCKVILLE HAS AIN acute park
ing problem. Weekend visitors to
the local theatre and stores have but
scant chance TO park their auto
mobiles anywhere near their desti-
nation. Now, there is ample parking
space available in Rockville. The
ground is there. AL that is needed
is to get popular support back of a
movement to set aside this space.
Naturally, we dislike being called a
bunch of hicks. While we are talk
ing about the elimination of grade
crossings, extension of town limits,
let us not forget these little things
which tend to make Rockville bet
ter town in which to Live and a
more desirable community to visit.

THE DAIRYlMEN GAINED vic
tory this week when the commission
ers decided that they would accept
an offer of the State Department OF
Public Health to provide $500 to-
wards the salary of the inspector,
Mr.. Pennington, and at the same
time keep the supervision of the
dairies within the control Of local
authorities. Mr.. Holbrook, long a

COMMISSIONER FRANK H.
KARIN of Montgomery County, has
suggested that inmates of the Jail be
placed at work on the county roads.
This seems an admirable suggestion
and should be given the most serious
consideration by other counties,
It would be fine thing if taxpayers
of Montgomery and other counties
see fit to back up this proposal with
letters to the Commissioners and to
the county newspapers. 1t fits in
fine with the Maryland Press Assoc
cations proposal that convict labor
be employed throughout the State
on it's highways. The Maryland
Penitentiary and other penal insti-
buttons are congested. The outdoors
will prove a panacea for both physi-
cal and mental ills of prisoners. En-
plovment on the roads may solve
a difficult problem. There need not
be any inhuman treatment of con-
victs. The days of the old chain
gang are gone. A system modelled
after that of Virginia will bring bet
ter roads and do away with the
social problems which attend any
prson over-population.

OUR ROADS TODAY are deplor-
able. They are so bad that the
Postoffice Department is starting to
take off rural carriers where travel
is well-nigh impossible in the winter
months. This is indeed sad COM
mentary on the State Roads Com
mission and Maryland's method OF
road maintenance. It will be blow
to the farmer. It will adversary
affect commerce and intercourse in
the rural sections. Something should
be done. If prison labor on the roads
is one way outlet us then get back
of the plan.

HCTAND up straight now and look
- at me-" Put your hands down,
darling, and smile. want to get a
good picture to send tosAunt Min
ME" - $1,000
Haven't you heard these two and
many similar Expressions on the
part Of parents when they. are TAX
ing snapshots of their children?
Let's hope you are not numbered
among them for unless your child
is quite apt at posing the result will
be a rather uninteresting snapshot
which does not do the child justice.
First Of all, as you know, young
sters are the cutest when they are
perfectly natural. If lot Of fuss is
made to get them to stand just so,
or an effort is made to get them to
do a certain thing, the chances are
they win look too posed in the fin
ished print.
There are two types Of child pic
lures, / might say; just plain record
pictures and the other kind you
should strive to get-story-telling
pictures. A little tot standing
straight as an arrow with arms stiff
ened against the sides of the body
and staring at the camera is a good
example of a record picture, but
snap a picture Of that same little
rascal making mud pies, or playing
traffic policeman, and you have a
storytelling picture with real hui
man interest appeal.
Children's pictures should always
be taken fairly close up, rarely more
than ten feet from the camera. If
you have an ordinary box camera
don't get closer than six or eight
feet unless a portrait attachment is
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-08-21

placed over the lens. With a Dor
trait attachment you can get as
close as three and half feet to your
subject and get sharp, distinct pic
lures that will show every curl and
dimple. BY moving a lever on the
newer type box cameras, however,
you can shoot as close as five feet
to your subject without a portrait
attachment.
With folding camera of focusing
type, the closer the subject is to the
lens the more care is required in es.
timating the distance. Set the point
er on the distance scale at the num-
Der of feet between the lens and the
child. If you change your position
for succeeding pictures, be sure to
change the pointer to the proper dis
lance mark.
And watch your backgrounds. A
nice, attractive background adds so
much. to your pictures. Telephone
poles, wires, unattractive fences, ga
RACES, and what have you, often
spoil an otherwise artistic, fascinat-
ing human interest picture. In fact,
any prominent off-side object in the
picture will detract from the inter-
est in what the child is doing.
Here's another tip. Try to avoid
having the sun shining directly in
the child's eyes, for the poor little
fellow can't help squirting under
such conditions and neither could
you. Let the sun come from the side.
This gives an interesting lighting
and what professionals call round
ness"
Follow these "tips" and you'll get
real Joy out of your snapshots.

Jimmy Dykes, White Sox mana

owners for his good showing in
handling the club and has tender
ed him a two-year contract. Dykes
came to Chicago as part of big
deal in 1888. 1t was a 100000
deal that brought Dykes, Haas
and Simmons to the club. Haas is
still in Chicago. Simmons was
sold to Detroit and now he is
with Washington. Dykes took over
the management on May 8, 1884,
