Lehman and James
Hint Less Spending
Will Be Keynote
Attitude Of Congress
To Be Shown in
Fund Debates
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Two Governors elect, talking about
spending less instead of more, have
brought up subject that already is
troubling the Roosevelt administra-
ton and will plague Congress and
the States for many months.
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman said at
Albany, N. Y, This is no time to
spend money on frivolities." Arthur
H. James disclosed, at Harrisburg,
Pa, his Inauguration would be as
inexpensive as possible" The one
was a Democrat, the other a Repub-
Hcan. Gov. Lehman is about to start
on his fourth term, Mr.. James on
his first.
Each Of them has just finished
long weeks of campaigning, during
which they talked with men and
women of every degree in two of the
most powerful States Of the Union.
Gov Lehman had made his race
partly on record of budget-balanc-
ing. Mr.. James had a great deal to
say about the spending of his Demo-
cratic predecessor, Gov. George H.
Earle
Thus each hinted, even before he
sat down to write out the program
for his new administration, that
economy would be its keynote. The
hint itself was token of what they
had read in the eyes of the voters
and Of what quite a few members of
the new Congress read in the elec-
ton returns.
Congress own attitude will show
up in the debates on the appropria-
tion bills. Few doubt that serious
effort will be made by members of
the new Congress to cut expendi-
lures.

HOW TO MAKE THEM

A work horse may have a patient, re-
signed look. The puppy will look
sweetly wistful COR sit back and try to
howl his head off) If no one wants to
play with him. And the kitten may
make almost any sort Of face-note the
astonished. I-just-saw-a-ghost look in
the picture above. Bloodhounds nat
urally have sorrowful faces and Scot
ties often resemble shaggy little old
men with bushy mustaches and side
burns.
Humor, character and expression
are the main things to watch. Also,
don't be too far away when you pic
ture small animals. If you use box
camera, portrait attachment is use
full for close-ups; it enables you to ap-
proach within about 3la feet of your
subject, yet still get a sharp picture.
Viewpoint is important, and good
choice Of camera position will make
or break" many an animal picture.
Try to select viewpoint that tells the
story clearly. If, for instance, you pic
ture kitten tangled up in skein of
yarn. the best angle is looking down,
with the camera pointed downward
However, if you are picturing puppy's
wistful expression, it may be best to
hold the camera down almost to the
ground, keeping it level ct the height
of the puppy's eyes.
If your animal pictures include too
much background, you IAN always
have them masked Gown" when an
enlargement is made. This allows you
to use only the most interesting part
of the picture. The picture above was
cropped" in this way, eliminating a
lot of extra sidewalk and background
and concentrating attention on the
kitten
