Ago Today As Taken From
The Files of The Citizen

Clarence Chamberlain, who
flew Charles Levine to Germany,
is considering establishing an air.
plane line to operate between
Havana and Key West, and has
tried to persuade Mrs. Francis
Crayson to use her famous plane
THE Dawn" in the service. This
is the gist of a statement just
made by Mrs Grayson, who has
attracted considerable attention
by her attempts to cross the At
lantic in her big amphibian mono
plane. She says she told Cham
berlain the plane had been built
for an international flight by
women, and therefore was avail
able for his projected airline. She
also added the plane was not for
sale.

come up to his previous mark in
the G hydro events.
Marvin McKelheer sideswiped a.
buoy in one of the @ hydro races,
smashing in the deck of his boat,
but he went on for three more laps
and nosed out Watkins, who had a
bit of motor trouble. When ne
pulled into the dock at the end Of
the race his boat sank under him
the blow had torn out the whole
side of his boat, but he hadn's' mo-
ticed it.
Now he's busy grooming Phil
bert, the boat Watkins used in set
ting his first worlds record, for the
races at Astoria and South Bend
this weekend.
Bus Tutthill, who turned over in
his G hydro at the races here, took
a spill in his F class boat at HarTi-
son.
Incidentally, Watkins, who lives
in Hoquialn, is only 20 years Old He
builds his own boats.

"CTAND up straight now and look
~ AZ ne" "Put yonr hands down,
darling. and smile. | want to get
good picture to send to Aunt Min
ME"
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 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 certain thing, the chances are
they will 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 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
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1937-09-02

placed over the lens. With por-
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 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 nave 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.

WAY Back When

Remember when any second-rate
American heavyweight could take
on the best the foreign countries
could offer and polish them off in

Here and There

Sports for small town schools has
been quite a problem during recent
years. Basketball has filled the gap
quite adequately during the winter
season, and track has begun to re-
place the more popular from the
fans viewpoint, at Ieast) game of
baseball during the spring. 1t still
remains to find a sport to fill out
during the fall until basketball be-
gins.
Back in the middle west they've
found the answer to this problem
in six-man football. Small schools
there lacking either boys or finance
for a regulation football team, but
feeling the need for a fall sport,
adopted this game about three
years ago and find that it is very
popular.
In the Dakotas alone, "a schools
are playing sM-man football. Rules
much the same as for the regula-
ton game are used, the field being
10 by 80 feet.
G.. A. Clu,npner, superintendent
of schools at Mckee, has become
interested in spreading the new
game among the small schools of
this section, and Within a few years
we may find the small towns back
in the sports picture.
The All Stars Green Bay Packers
game Wednesday night in Chicago
touched off the football season for
another year. In just three weeks
the first big coast games will get
underway.
Picking the winner is as popular
as ever, most of the prognosticators
going out on the limb for Califor-
MIA or use. But Washington has
stronger team than last year, and
with the memory Of that Pittsburg
flasco still bright, may come thru
if they can get by Oregon.
Most of the coast teams are i'm
proved this year Oregon, Oregon

material, but not enough exper-
fence to get very far.

Arkansas stepped outside to con-
tribute its bit tc Southwestern foot

claim that these porkers are one

sively in the Nation.

with Georgia Tech, and now has
only Vanderbilt standing it its path

come back after q lone defeat by
Georgia Tech and will be no easy
obstacle to clear in that final game,
in which it hopes tc throw the race
into a deadlock.
