Last week, said something about the
action of the pedestrian. Now am in
the position of pedestrian watching
the automobile driver.
Just stand on ay street intersection,
or at any crossroad, or along the
country road and note the actions Of
some of these crazy automobile drivers.
They thing they have exclusive rights
to the highway and that all other auto
mobile drivers and pedestrians have
absolutely no rights at all.
OF course, the automobile driver has
certain rights prescribed by law, but to
violate all acts of decency by excessive
speed, by cutting in and out, and by
endangering the lives of pedestrians
and other automobile drivers, is not
naybody's right.
The right to live is more sacred than

Determine to take more care with

and your focusing. Decide that be-
fore you take picture you will give
thought to the light conditions;
whether the day is hazy, dull or very
dull; whether a midday sun is
shining from clear sky or the less
intense early morning or late after
noon sun; whether the light is in
creased by reflections from expanses

conditions you are photographing
nearby objects or a distant scene.
Say you will consider these things
each time and carefully adjust your

Make up your mind that you will
think also about the composition of
each picture, that it shall have merit
because of its pictorial qualities and
that in each scene showing human
or other beings there shall be story
telling interest.
