Warning the amateur photog- :
rapher against failure. Mr.. Hurst
says:
ANY Mexican photo -finisher will
tell you that fully 80 per cent of all
the negatives he processes are over

the resultant clear and transparent
air, makes 1t impossible for the in
experienced to guess 1T exposures.
In the first place, though you may
feel yourself qualified, don't attempt
to use the rule Of thumb. Provide
yourself at least with an optical
extinction meter If you cannot afford
q photoelectric type. In the bright
sunlight get . reading from your
optical meter and then stop down
two additional stops or increase the
shutter speed to give the same effect.
Another method is to use q medium
yellow filter for everything and then
stop down only one opening. This is
perhaps the better plan.
With any reliable photoelectric
meter, you will be safer to close your
diaphragm one more notch than the
meter advises. Or else use a stand
ard K-2 filter and do not allow for
it. In making shots away from the
brilliant sun, your meter will be ac-
curate and requires no compensa-

A particularly enjoyable concoc-

the comedy by Henry Armetta, Ros-

the music by Bobby. who sings six

A STRANGE SITUATION

Meantime a queer situation arises
out of the scheme to distribute the
pensions where they will do the most
good. Under the new law married
man retiring at IS gets additional
money for his wife as soon as she
reaches IS. Still more is allowed for
dependent children. 48
For instance, a single man re-
firing at IS after paying taxes for
five years will get $3.50 month
If his average earnings have been
$3.50 a month. A married man
whose wife is also 65 will get
$47.25 in the same wage bracket.
Yet they both pay the same social
security tax. No matter how you
look at it, it is tax on bachelors.
And another thing, The con-
gressmen have put up barriers
against young women marrying
old men to get pensions. Expert
ence with war pensions taught
them to do that. Now widow
can't get her husbands pension
until she, too, is 65. sAee
