DOLLARS CLIMB
REVERSED ABROAD
Announcement of 4-PoWer
ParIey to Seek Peace
Strengthens Pound.
Ey the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept 28.-Announcement
that a four-power conference would
be held In an effort to avert war in
Central Europe strengthened the
pound in unofficial dealings after the
close of the foreign exchange market
today and the dollar slid backward
after having touched its highest rate
since October, 1888.
In earlier official transactions the
American unit had broken away from
all control fund operations, advancing
1l5s cents to the pound to the highest
value in sterling terms in around S
years.
The closing quotation in ofacial
dealings was 46lh to the pound
but in unoficial transactions pur-
chases were reported at 40
Official Intervention appeared at sew
eral times during the day, and while
the dollar upswing was halted at times
it continued under the pressure O;
buying orders
Business in the stock exchange was
quiet as traders awaited Prime Min
lister Chamberlain's speech to the
House of Commons. There were few
signs of unloading, however. The ad-
dress was unfinished by the time the
market closed, and most brokers and
jobbers went home. In the later un.
official street market in Shorters Court
q few habitues were present, and
prices improved when the conference
was announced. Transatlantic stocks
were bid little higher, with United
States Steel, Cbrysler and Interna-
tional Nickel favored. Several British
industrial and Czechoslovakian bonds
advanced.

Iron Age reported today.
The reduction Of operations ut some

fact that inventories Of ineots and

cation said. adding:

Gain Over August.
Steel bookings in September are
moderately above those OF August, but
the sharp upward trend of last month
has been lacking. the organ said.
"A noteworthy factor, however, Is
the increasing insistence on quick
shipments, indicating low consumer
inventories in many instances" 1t WAS
pointed out. "Orders are small and
stocks are frequently replenished."
The Iron Age scrap composite price
this week stands unchanged from last
week at $l4.25.
Regarding the general business
situation. the publication remarked:

War clouds obscure the business
outlook. II war comes, considerable

iron and steel industry. but the turn
came in January. 1915. Steel ingot

Juglans california; is the trick
title for walnut grown on the Pacific

cassian walnut, found in Europe
and Asia, does business under the
technical moniker juglans riga. Oak
is playfully dubbed by the scientific
hosts as quercus alba, quercus ru-
bra and quercus robar, according to
color. Other jawbreakers include:
Gumwood tliquidamber styracifua)

VACATION time brings two types
" of snapshots that are quite con-
Y sistently muffed by the average
amateur: pictures on the beach and
pictures in the woods. Representing
the alpha and omega of the outdoor
Photographic range, it is not surprising
that misses are plentiful. Yet when
you stop to consider the factors in
volved, it is easy enough to see how
these amateur mistakes can be
avoided.
In all exposure guides, scales and
meters, the average subject" is con-
sidered to be the well-known group of
people in the open the subject most of
us photograph oftenest. This group,
however, is usually standing on the
grass, on the earth. on the pavement
- all of which are poor light reflectors.
Trees and foliage or buildings are
usually near by even if not overhead.
and invariably some background, near
or far, comes into the picture. The
group is in the open. all right. not in
the shade; but all of the surroundings
are absorbing much of the available
light.
The standard exposure for such
shot on bright, sunny July day is
accepted as l/25 of a second at lens
aperture + IL.
Take that same group down to the
beach under the same sun at the same
hour and your exposure would range
from Zoo to 1/15O of second at
fl.
If, on the other hand, you take them
into the woods under the trees with
the status of the sun itself unchanged,
your exposure would be somewhere
from u second to full second at the
same lens aperture.
The subject, the time of day. the
month of the year, the lens stop, the
strength of the sunlight - all remain
the same: the only change is the
location of the subject. But that
single change is great enough to
warrant this tremendous variation in
exposure time.
Evening star., 1938-07-31
SNAPSHOTS IN SUN AND SHADOW
bv william Fulton

The reason is the difference in the
actinic. or Photographic. value of the
light on the subject. In your average"
shot the principal light is from above.
with relatively little help in reflection
from the surroundings. On the beach
you have the full blast of the open
sky; no surroundings or background to
absorb any of it; and light-colored
sand underneath to reflect most of the
suns rays back up again. In the woods
you have very dark surroundings. a
very dark base - and virtually no
light from the open sky. That's the
whole story in Nutshell.
Most beach shots are badly over
exposed - burned up." as the pro-
fessionals say. Light-colored costumes
are bleached out; faces are chalky: the
sky has the appear ance of plain white
paper.
Remember this approximate ratio
of 4 to l when you 60 to the seashore,
then, and either use faster shutter
time, or better yet, stop down the lens
two numbers. Using filter also helps
considerably in getting truer relation
ship between sky, ocean and sand mot
to mention colorful beach appareD
and is almost essential if you want to
keep the clouds, which so many snap
shooters overlook in their calculations
and thus miss entirely.
In the woods, on the other extreme,
you'd better confine your shooting to
open spaces unless ~ you are willing
to carry a tripod and make time
exposures or ~ your camera has a
lens rated at + 3.5 or better. which may
permit hand-held snapshots when
used wide open.
What it all boils down to is that
good pictures can be made under al
most any conditions with average
equipment if you only appreciate just
what that equipment can and can't do
in a given situation. A camera must
have light, but too much is as bad as
not enough. So don't gorge it - and
don't starve it - and it'll treat you
right"
