placed over the lens. With 8 DOT. trait attachment you can get as close as three and a 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. CT on the distance scale at the nun. 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. tance mark.
 And watch your backgrounds. A nice, attractive background adds so much to your pictures. Telephone poles, wires, unattractive fences, ga. rages, 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 squinting 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. John van Guilder

SERVANTS IN HOME

Burden of Work, However,
Will Not Be On Public
Health Officers

Raleigh, June THE examination
of domestic servants will not be gen
orally thrust upon local health OF
ficers, Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, State
Health Officer, made clear Tuesday
night, when he released for publica-
ton extracts from a letter he had
mailed these local officials, in connec-
ton with an act ratified March ~,
1887.
cat a recent meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee of the North Carolina
State Board of Health" DR.. Reynolds
wrote, "it was decided that the pub
lie health officer should examine, I'M
der this oct, only such servants as are
referred to the health department by
private physicians, or certified to the
health department by the welfare de-
partment, as INDECENT. All those
cases who are able to pay private
physicians for this service are to go
to private physicians. However, the
public health officer should cooperate
with the private physician in follow
up work Of contacts and in making
Wassermann tests on all referred to
them. This was the recommendation
VI LIlc CACCuIlVC VI JOUA
Board of Health.
1--WE realize DR.. Reynolds contin-
ued, that the examination of all do
nestle servants, if done by the health
department, would be a rather large
order for any health department, and
all of those patients who can afford
tc pay private physician should go
to his or her physician.
"a number of the health officers
have made inquiry as to how much of
this work they should do, and we trust
the above action taken by the Execu-
tive Committee of the State Board of
Health will serve to clarity your posi-
ton as health officer" DR.. Reynolds
