For Snopshooters

1t takes little practice and expert
menting to catch the unusual. but
your efforts will be repaid with the
kind of pictures you'll be proud to
show your friends.
The Saopshoosss Asks:
Question: What rules apply to the use
of sky filter? Should the filter portion
of the attachment be at the top as
take the picture? And does the use Of
filter neeessitate any change in the rules
to1 exposure? (D.H.B.)
Answer: "A sky filter should be placed
over the lens so that the yellow part is
at the top when you wish to record
the clouds in a landscape picture. Be
careful not to over-expose or you may
block out the clouds even when using
a filter. The filter should result in the
sky photographing a little darker so
that light clouds will stand out in
better contrast.
1t IS not necessary to make any
change in the exposure when using a
sky filter for recording the clouds. 1t
would be better to use an orthochro-
matte film rather than panchromatic
film in this particular case.
A sky filter is also useful when
photogaphing scenes where one side
is more brightly lighted than the
other. Simply turn the yellow side to-
ward the part of the scene that is most
brightly lighted. Also. you will find
the filter - used upside down with
the yellow part at the bottom -
quite useful when you are recording
snow scenes.

Gene Tunney pitched and kept it
up to the sweltering end. AS pitcher.
Gene is still the undefeated heavy
weight boxing champion Of the world.
But let him not be dismayed. One
afternoon a couple of years ago We
had his old pal Jack Dempsey with us
Jack didn't try to pitch, but when ht
walked up to the plate he swung vi.
ciously at the ball. However, his score
as a softball slugger was an unbroker
row of goose eggs.
Just to console him, the same ex-
perience was enjoyed in New York one
afternoon by the old Sultan of Swat
Babe Ruth. Leo Fischer reports
that the Big BAN hit five successive
holes in the air, aiming at the under
hand delivery of softball pitcher.
All of which tends to show that it's
a curious game, this softball that has
already the greatest following of any
single pastime in the land.

Labor Day plans formed.
Maybe motor trip, picnic,
~ a trip to the country or per-
haps day at the beach. Regardless of
what you do or where you 60. there
are countless picture possibilities. For.
although Labor Day is the last holiday
of the summer it's almost the best
from the pictwe-taking angle.
Certainly you will make it a gala
day for snapshooting if you remember
that it is just as easy to snap pictures
that are we'll composed and bubbling
over with human interest as to shoot
in hit-or-miss fashion. The out
standing snapshots are those that
attract attention and praise not neces-
sarily because of the subject or situa-
ton but because the man behind the
camera has put his mind behind the
lens.
Many amateur snapshooters can
visualize and capture dramatic. atten-
tion-compelling pictures of almost any
subject. Consider the picture above.
The average person probably would
have snapped the child's picture as he
merely sat or stood on the beach. But
this snapshooter put little thought
behind the camera and lifted his pic
ture out of the commonplace.
Snapshots such as this have real
human interest appeal and they are
easy to take with almost any camera.
This picture was snapped at shut
ter speed of about 1900 of a second
to stop the action or motion. The lens
aperture was set at + 8, and a sky
filter was used. Satisfactory results
would have been possible at slower
shutter speed with lens aperture of,
say, + IL, had the picture been snapped
when the child reached the peak of the
throw" and action was momentarily
suspended.

Alexander stepped into the car and
kissed his mother and got out quickly.

"I'll sit in 'front.'
The arm-rest in the middle of the
rear seat had been lowered. Father
took his place in one corner.

brightly.
Good morning." answered Father.
The car was limousine. the divid-

talked at length and his tones were
genial. Mother listened. She always
had been a good listener.
1t was Alexander who did the talk

eyes, seeking Mothers. seemed almost
to say: Isn't he fine boy?" Mothers
eyes in turn sought Fathers with the
same thought mirrored in them, but
she quickly looked away. Hes not

Already Alexander had taken Gun

Gunther reflected, Suppose she's

to himself.
In the morning Alexander sat beside
his mother and his father sat with
Gunther. Mother looked out the win
dows or at Gunther's back. Alexander
did not always hear when she spoke
to him. He had had no experience with
death, but death came suddenly into
his mind. Suppose Maria was dead

PEOPLES FORUM
APPRECIATE WORK OF
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Editor, The Citizen:
We, tie undersigned, would like
to express our appreciation of the
work the Chamber OF Commerce
is doing for tie workers, as well
as the business and professional
men of this city.
For some time, we were not
able to make any Roadway toward
getting definite assurance Of en-
p.oyment as skilled painters on
the highway project. This was
not due to any fault Of the Adj
nlinistration or of the contractors.
Upon taking up the matter with
the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, Mr.. Singleton, who
understood about what was reed
ed, the matter was soon straight
ened out, and the result is that
number of your fellow citizens
will soon be adding real wages &c
the amount o. money in e;rcula-
ton in this city. If this acknow-
ledgment viii add to a fuller III
Outstanding of the value of a
Chamber of Commerce to our
community, we are very glad to

THE BIBLE AT HAND

The American Bible Society dis
tributed 7,767.311 ScripturaI volumes dur
ing the year 1886, printed in 166 Ian
luages.
In addition there were untold thou
sands of Bibles sold through the regular
channels of distribution. In short, the
people of the country have the opportunity
of reading the Bible.
So far as we can see there is only a
limited need for Bible distribution and a
tremendous need for Bible study The
average citizen thinks of the Bible as a
great book of truth and, at the same time,
forgets to read it.
Why not form 2 society for Bible
reading, even if you are the only member?
You'll get the bnefits, which are many,
and you won't be bothered with the details
that afflict organizations

One paragraph in your letter puZ-

Already in Missouri the Res

ed the record of putting through a
state constitutional amendment,
concentrating power over all Wild
life resources in an appointive, nom
partisan, -salaried commission,
with jurisdiction over fish, game,

Now I can see why the Missouri
boys wanted to make wildlife con-
stitutional, because you might as
well have the law On your side.
Also why they chose group of
-partisans. 1t wouldn't be wise
to have group of biased fellows
at the head who would develop one
form of wildlife to the detriment
OF the other. And can understand
the commission refusing salary.
