HOW AND WHEN TO USE VISITING CARDS
by Emily Post

family well, we write in pencil at the
top of a card with sympathy" and
leave it at the door Here we leave only
our Mr.. and Mrs. card; or if we
haven't one, we write Mr." in front
OF the Mrs" on our card We do the
same when sending flowers.
On the other hand, when we are
sending wedding present and have
no Mr.. and Mrs card, Mr. card, as
we'll as Mrs card is usually enclosed.
We use cards also to announce that
we are going away, either mailing them
or leaving them ourselves. a turned-up
corner shows that the card was left in
person, and not sent through the mail

PICTURE YOUR OWN HOME
by Fulton Williams

YRS AN odd fact that one subject
which most OF us snapshooterS
4 photograph least is the inside OF
our own home where we spend the
bulk of our leisure time. And since
winter is upon us. this is an excellent
time to remedy the situation.
Probably most amateurs shy away
from the assignment because it seems
like a professional Job involving time
exposures and whatnot. yet If a few
basic precautions are observed. there
is nothing complicated about 1t. Fur

its ultraviolet by the glass in your
windows. is not nearly as bright to
your film as It appears to your eye
The chief pitfall to avoid is trying
to crowd too much into the picture.
Most rooms require shots from two
different viewpoints rather than a
single shot which makes a tumble Of
everything. A second tip is to have
clear foreground. especially in the CEN

than ceiling, else the room will appear
top-hcavy.
The principal fault with most first
attempts is that furniture is invariably
left quite close to the camera and, IN
the print, this is distorted out of all
proportion to the balance of the room
Another error is that often the sun
streams through the windows so that
one side of the room is greatly over
exposed while the opposite side is
hopclcssly underexposed The remedy
for the former is obvious For the lat
ter, it is wise to choose a hazy day for
work in rooms getting direct sunlight
- or to cover the windows with mus
lin or cheesccloth screens for 95 per
cent of the exposure time. removing
the cloth for the remaining 5 per cent.
Thus in a two-minute exposure you
would close the shutter at the end of
about us seconds. remove the screens.
then open the shutter again for ;
seconds more. Naturally, the camera
must be on a rigid support and
mustn't be moved in the interval.
Things to watch for in the finder
include bad reflections from mirrors
or pictures; excessively dark corners;
close or distant objects out of focus
Reflections can be controlled by
manipulating the window shades or by
slightly changing the angle of the
offending object with cork or spool
placed behind it, Gloomy corners can
be frightened by using bed sheet
(out of camera range hung on
screen and turned until you can see II
adding reflected light to the area.
Focus is best managed with tape
measure to get exact distances, and
the best method is to focus on a point
about midway between the nearest
object and the center of the area to

NH that visiting cards went into
q the limbo of forgotten things,
when the automobile pushed the horse
and buggy with the victoria and
the brougham - off the roads. And
1t IS true that, unless we belong in
diplomatic or official circles, proxy
card leaving by one member of a
family is seldom required of us.
But there arc times when courtesy
requires that Mrs. Neighbor leave
proxy card of her husbands, in order
that Mrs. Stranger may know that
there is a Mr. Neighbor. But it is no
longer general custom to leave
he family.
When Mrs. Ncighbor makes a call
of this kind. she leaves. in fact, two
cards of her husbands. one on Mrs.
Stranger and one on MIR. Stranger and,
of course, one card of her own Mrs
Nclghbor does not leave her card on
Mr. Stranger because a lady does not
ordinarily call on gentleman. When
Mrs. Nelghbor pays party call on
Mrs Hostess she leaves second card
of her own, and also an extra card of
her husbands S, if there is house guest
or an adult relative of the Strangers
family makes her home with them.
These requirements are all very
formal In the case of an intimate
friend you would not think of leaving
a card - unless there is no one with
whom to leave a message, on your
friend lives in a hotel or an apartment
house and then her name should be
written in pencil across the top of the
card to insure its being given to her.
The messages that we write on
cards are literally without limit, al
though the formal ones are rather
strictly prescribed For example when
we go to ask how sick ncighbor is,
and a servant opens the door, we leave
our card - first writing across the top
of it "To inquire" If the door is
opened by member Of the family, We
say we are sorry. and leave no card.
If we go to leave card on a family

be included. Thus, if you were doing
a section of room starting eight feet
from your camera and ending sixteen
feet away, you would focus at ten feet
and cover everything at 1853
To make doubly sure, however, al
ways stop the lens down to the small
est aperture possible, increasing the
exposure time in proportion.
This detail of exposure time is hard
to cover briefly because rooms and
llluminatlngco conditions vary so greatly.
As jumping-off point. however, let
us say that room with only one
window and with Medium dark coiored
walls and furnishings can be photo
graphed on hdzy day with one
minute exposure of f22 Variations

time to about As seconds on a hazy

Water HemI0ck Kills Live Stock

By far the most virulent plant
that grows in the United States is
one which is very little known, al
though it has caused many fatali-
ties. This is the water hemlock, or
cicula--very different from the spot
ted hemlock whose extract was used
to execute Socrates. 1t grows in
low, swampy places nearly every
where. In the spring when the
ground is soft and its roots can be
pulled easily from the soil and have
an attractive odor which causes
children to eat them. 1t causes
heavy losses in live stock. The
water hemlock contains a substance
known as cicutoxin--allied to the an
dromedotoxin on the honey which
affected the Greeks of the Anabasis
which is an extremely active
poison, causing violent spasms.

Shoe-Tossing Old Custom

Shoe-tossing is older than either
confetti or rice throwing. Ancient
Israelites started it. When a piece
of land was purchased, the buyer
tossed sandal on it. That gesture
symbolized change of ownership.
Later, Anglo-Saxons carried it into
the marriage ceremony. The father
would remove one of his daughter S
shoes and pass it to the bridegroom.
The latter would touch the maiden S
forehead lightly with the shoe, in
dicating authority had passed from
papa to the new husband. Al tap be-
came a toss with passing years.
Parents would hurl shoes at newly
married couple to convey the infor-
nation they no longer were respon-
sible for the young lady.

Pointers ON Poultry Management

Lack of minerals in the diet or
overcrowded conditions in the hen
house or yard are the chief causes
of chicken picking at one another,
says Miss H. E. Cushman, extension
poultry specialist. The lack of min
erals sometimes gives the birds a
thirst for blood. To prevent cam
nabalism in the farm flock, she sug-
gests adding one percent salt, pre-
ferably iodized salt, and one per
cent each of steamed bone meal and
ground oyster she'll to the feed.
Hanging up meat for the birds is
always risky practice, she warned
because if it becomes at all tainted
heavy death losses will occur. In
addition the meat also contains toe
high percentage of fat which poul-
TRY cannot take care of easily. II

the market, the forest service has
planned the units so that labor will
be provided for all parts of the
county in the logging of the tracts.
Supervisor Klehm is also authority
for the further information that, in
addition to the logging, much labor
will be provided for each district
in brush disposal. 1t was also
brought out that under the proposed
plans the successful bidder for the
timber will be required to build
permanent roads into the area
logged. Thereafter those roads will
be there for all time to come.
Major Kelley said most of the
white pine in the county lies in a
district beyond Troy. He said this
timber must be sold in connection
with tracts of Ponderosa pine be-
cause of market conditions. He said
local lumber manufacturers have to
meet stiff competition from South
ern pine and from lumber from 9th
er districts. This competition cannot
be successfully met unless the local
mills have quantity of white pine
to help move the lumber from their
Ponderosa and other species. There
fore he questioned the wisdom OF
selling the white pine alone to any
one pesron as it would work against
the longtime view of benefits to
be derived
Before Major Kelley closed his
discussion, he said it NAV be possible
the government may buy parts OF
present privately owned timber
tracts and add them to the areas al.
ready owned by the forest service SC
as to bring larger areas into the
sustained yield program. He said
that would involve a certain loss
in taxable property to the county
but urged the wisdom of such a pol
| icy when the longtime view of ben
efits to be derived from perpetual
lumber industry are considered.
Some Opposition
There is some opposition to the
sale of the timber in large tracts,
as certain interests maintain small
operators should have a. chance in
the bidding Opposed to this view
| is the one that most small oper-
ators can not operate successfully
under modern competition and that
a strong operator in the community
will result most beneficially for the
greatest number in the long run.
Major Kelley also urged emphati.
cally the need for the nation Il
awake to the necessity of >conserv.
| ing and developing its resources be.
fore 1t is too late. He said the vas
resources of great continent hac
been shamefully squandered. Hi
insisted that If our civilization i.
to survive, national resources mus
be conserved and wisely used.
After the formal discussion, the
meeting was thrown open to ques
tons and few were asked by those
in the audience. Mr.. Neff and Mr.

cusSi0n, as did others.
