of operating the ship, and as the current appropriation was only suf- ficient to provide for the operations of the vessel in it's regular work in the Indian Service, it was not pos sib1e to use it to provide the trans portation needed commercially. To provide authority to meet the need for this service, the Delegate proposed the insertion of the follow ing amendment in the bill by the committee:
 Provided further, that hereafter any revenue derived from the opera tion of Indian Service vessels shall be credited to the current appro priation from which the expenses of operations are paid
 The matter has already been talk en up by Mir Dimond from two ether points of attack. Early in the session, he introduced bill to authorize the Postmaster General to call for bids for carrying the mail on this route, specifying that ships to be used in the service should be of sufficient size and seaworthiness to provide passenger and freight transportation The other line of ap- proach from which the Delegate is working is to have Government vessel assigned through the CO., operation of the Maritime Commis- sion, the Coast Glard, the Navy De- partment, and the Post Office De- partment, to provide mail service and other necessary transportation to the westward region.

The company who faced the police
officers in that large room with its
tasteful appointments where Mrs.
Ortheris' guests we're gathered, was
subdued and silent.
The facts are these, Mrs. Ortheris,"
said Doherty. This thing was organ
lied by Gerry Glyn - and you fell for
it. No blame to you. He's accepted
everywhere - he goes everywhere.
But he's crook"
There was murmur from several
of the guests. Captain Doherty glared
truculently about him. We've had

pinned anything to him. He's clever
as they're made but he got off on the
wrong foot this time. Now, l under

our hostess - that having proposed
this Clue Party, he organized it and
took care of all the clues?"
"He did," Mrs. Ortheris replied
tonelessly.
He undertook to provide the wells
for the girls and the turbans for the
men. There we're all sorts of other
clues, like buying roses and chasing
turbans to various points around the
city. Am l right?'
Mrs. Ortheris nodded
1T was variation of the old treas
ure hunt finishing up with big party.
The last clue was given by messenger
boys stationed at various points, and
all those boys had wells or turbans in
boxes 1t was their job to give the last
clue to the first person who brought
white roses. The last clue was green

Rr IS one of the vexing phases of
outdoor photography that the
i less sunlight there is, the harder it
is to get picture - and the more
sunlight there is, the easier it is to
spoil one!
This is usually brought forcibly to
mind after a week end at the beach,
the lake or some other holiday spot
when the finished prints of the gang
show a lot of people with black bands
across the eyes where the shadows of
hat brims fell.
Less striking but equally dis6guring
are those smaller shadows cast on the
face by the chin, the lips, the nose and
the eyebrows.
One remedy, of course, is to avoid
taking pictures of people in direct
sunlight unless the nature of the
action necessitates it. Much better
outdoor pictures can be obtained on
the shady side of building, in the
shadow OF a tree, on an open porch
or some other shelter that shields the
subject from the binding sun. The
exposure will be longer, but the re-
suits will be better.
Another expedient is to make use
of some sort of reflector that will
throw some light into the shaded
areas and soften the shadows. The
accompanying illustration offers
case in point. These two subjects
weren't originally reading this paper;
they we're just sitting on the grass.
Facing the sun, they squinted; turn
ing away from the sun, their faces
we're in heavy shadow. So the paper
was procured and this pose suggested
in order that the brilliant light re-

Of course, it isn't possible to take
every portrait snap of sitter reading

no means the extent of reflector possi-I
bilities. On the beach or lake shore
you usually have light sand that serves
the purpose, and you can take ad-
vantage of this by having your sub
jects seated or kneeling so as to bring
the faces closer to the ground. Very
often you can pose your group along

surface as reflector. At a picnic the
tablecloth. if it's white, will do the
trick.

Permission Granted

The Board of Education yesterday
granted Marian Anderson, gifted
Negro contralto, permission to sing
at Central High School on Easter
Sunday. 1t was made clear, how
ever, that the principle of the dual
system of schools and school facil-
tiles in Washington is to be main
tanned. Also, the rule against
commercial use of the schools was
reaffirmed in language which leaves
no doubt as to its meaning.
But the larger problem-the de-
mand for public auditorium equal

tal-remains unsolved. Had such a
building existed two months ago the
people of the District of Columbia
would have been spared a contro-
versy which in it's ramif1cations,
some of them wholly irrelevant, has
been unfortunate.
The Star considers it a duty to
urge Congress to act without further
delay to provide Washington with an
assembly place not for Inauguration
ceremonies only but for gatherings
of every useful sort for every helpful
purpose.
