Agfa Ansco.
Tone, Not Speed Urged.
Mr.. Ter Louw, dwelling on photo
graphic quality. urged photograph
ers to quit being speed crazy"
= Resort to the use of high speed
only when necessary, not indiscrim-
inately," the expert told the con-
vention. "Use lenses capable of
giving correct shadow rendition.
The differences in tone brought out
in a picture by the careful photog-
rapher are what make a picture
differences in color are secondary"
Use of new formula developers Is
to be avoided, Mr.. Ter Louw con-
tinued, advising members to use
only developers on which standard
laboratory information is available.
Earlier in the day, pre-luncheon
tour included an inspection Of the
crime detection laboratory Of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.

the tomb and the sarcophage and
on the jewels will enable historians
to fill gaps in their knowledge OF
this period in Egyptian civilization.
Statue Carved in Silver.
The inner sarcophagus is in the
form of q statue of the king carved
In silver. Adorned with the gold
crowns of upper and lower Egypt
the royal efigy lies with hands
folded across the chest. One hand
holds a golden sceptre, the other
q fail. The royal face is that Of
young man, leading archaeolo-
gists to believe that the likeness
was cast before the pharoah's death.
The second and third sarcophage
are of black granite and gold. The
outer sarcophagus which fills half
the tomb-11 feet long, feet wide
and feet deep-is in the form Of
. carving showing the pharoah lying
on his back. Osiris watches over
him and an unnamed goddess sup
ports his head and protects him
with outstretched arms.
The profusion Of jewelry found in
the tomb Includes 81 golden brace
lets, 10 found on the right arm and
II on the left. These are most i'm
portant, as inscriptions on the gold
furnish record of the kings family
and genealogical tree. A Pharoah of
the same name was one of Solomon's S
fathers in law. The marriage Is re-
corded in the Bible.
20 Gold Vases Found.
A finely wrought gold necklace
strung with rubies and scarabs
adorns the neck of the silver sar-
cophagus statue. Laid out on a
gold table and altar were 20 gold
vases of simple taste and in a per-
feet state of preservation. Some of
these pieces compare favorably with
modern metal and plate ware. Also
found in the tomb was large
chalice in the form of lotus bloom,
q long-necked bottle, Jug and silver
cups.
Egyptologists express belief that
the tomb of Psou Sennes may reveal
more of the history of the Egypt of
1,10O B. c. than did the tomb OF
Tut-ankh-amen of the period of that
Pharaohs time, some 200 years
earlier.
The discovery of the 1ut-ankh-
amen tomb in 1922 by Lord Car
narvon and Howard Carter did more
than any other event to arouse popu-
lar interest in Egyptology.

Those men who adore to cook
seldom recognize the fact, that it's
more work for friend wife than when
she gets the meal herself. She
usually has to spend all one day at
the market, and all the next day
cleaning out the kitchen.
A cooking man, I find, has marvel
Gus ideas. He usually wants to
throw together little dish he tasted
in Calcutta the year he was a sailor
on a freighter. He decides at break
fast that tonight is his night for
the Calcutta Renaissance, and he
gives his wife list of ingredients
she is to purchase as long as a gi-

I don't need to go into detail
You know how she travels for miles
hunting up the right kind of curry
powder, and the proper type of nuts
And when she gets home, just before
hubby is due back from the Office
she is too exhausted to appreciate
much of the fine cookery which
follows.
And next day .. you should see
the kitchen.
~It's time cooking husbands began
to do their own shopping and their
own cleaning up. Make them cook
on Saturday evenings. Then they'd
have no excuse for vorming out OF
the dirty work A man who can
cook, and market, and clean up
would be the perfect dream man for
some one. JEAN.

Sfyisf Finds Simple
Fashions in Paris

Few dictators have ever been more
strong and powerful than fashion
whose varied whims control the
destinies of millions. For instance,
Paula Neiman, stylist for Maurice
Rentner of New York, recently
found herself en- route to war-torn
Europe and the midseason Paris
collections-all so that American
women might have the latest style
trends translated into clothes for
their peace-time activities.
Sailing from New York on the
Manhattan, Mrs. Neiman reached
Paris before the invasion of Belgium
and Holland. At that time she
found practically no war "jitters" in
the city. The only noticeable
change in everyday life was the
number of men in uniform and the
fact that many establishments were
short-handed. However, Mrs. Nei-

Mother Should Not Accompany
Daughter When She Has Date

Dear Miss Dix-I am girl Of 18.
Do you think my mother should al
ways sit with my boy friends and me
when we have date when there is
plenty of room elsewhere in the
house? If start to 90 out with him
there is always a fuss unless she
goes along. Do boys like to go with
a girl who always has to drag her
mother with them? BONNY.
AnsWer-Any mother who plants
herself In the living room when
boys come to see her daughter and
spends the evening talking about her
own affairs is taking the surest way
to drive all of the eligible men away,
and she had just as well 60 out and
buy a girl a membership in the
Spinsters' Retreat.
For boys don't go to see girls
mother They go to see the girl her
self. After Mother has hidden the
boy a cordial welcome, her cue is to
fade out of the picture. This isn't
because the boy has any evil inten-
tions or wants to do or say anything
of which Mother would not approve
but simply because an older person,
hanging around in earshot, makes
the youngster self-conscious and
cramps his style.
And as for Mother insisting on
being taken along when daughter
steps out of an evening, that is a
fatal maneuver because in these
days it takes all the coin that a boy
can scrape up to pay for a girls good
time and he simply can't afford to
make it q threesome.

1t is a very different story, and the
French women sadly told her that
Paris is no longer a smart" city.
No one has the heart to dress up"
or wear dinner clothes and the
styles are extremely simple at all
times.
The couteriers' collections are
also simple, but very lovely, with
Schiaparelli's choir boy silhouette
the only definite trend evident. The
very slim line is most popular and
only few bouffant skirts are
shown. Pockets remain important,
necklines are high and skirt lengths
approximately the same. A great
deal of jewelry, presumably to
brighten up the simple costumes now
in use, is being offered and the cou-
terriers are busily selling street en-
sembles to the French women. Eve
ming and dinner types are pur-
chased for dinner. In spite of for
mer reports, Mrs. Neiman saw no
strictly dinner or evening gowns in
the dreaded street length.
At the time of her visit not more
than half a dozen American de-
signers were in evidence, although
the French people told her to tell
them when you get home that every
thing is all right" This, however,
was before the continued air raid
alarms that sent Mrs. Neiman sour
ring to the bomb shelter in the
Rita shelter which she found
equipped with comfortable chairs
and tables, but not, as she had
heard, with music!
Mrs. Neiman's many experiences
should qualify her as an authority
on travel, as we'll as on fashion. For
instance, on her way over she
stopped off for short visit to Capri,
and upon her return to the dock
was astounded to see the Man
haitian just starting to move away
without her. With the aid of her
escort, she hired rowboat and set
out frantically after the liner. For
tunately, when they succeeded in
coming alongside the crew spied
them, threw over a rope ladder and
up the side of the Manhattan scram-
bled Mrs. Naiman, to the accom-
paniment of cheers and tears from
the other passengers assembled on
deck. Mote to all would-b stylists:
Don't be too concerned. Chasing
fashions is an everyday occur
rance-but not in a rowboat)

ton OF insect pests.J
AS household pests have eXtraor-
dinary powers Of concealment, q
continual campaign is necessary to
rout them from their hiding places.
Establishing regular habit Of
spraying each room as you clean 1t
paying particular attention to all
cracks and crevices- IS the best
method of preventing infestation.
A household spray must come in
contact with the insects in order to
kill them. Hence, thorough job
requires the use of a good spray gun
so the liquid will be broken up into
f1ne enough mist to reach the in
sects and put an end to them. Once
1t touches them, their nerve centers
are affected and slow paralysis fol-
lows, resulting in sure annihilation.
Each type OF familiar household
insect presents somewhat differ
ent problem, but all are unsafe as
we'll as irritating to have around
Many housekeepers Of today can re-
call time when the common house
fly was lightly dismissed as a mere
nuisance. Nowadays we realize that
every fly that gets into the house
Is health hazard and should be
instantly attacked and killed. AS
known carriers of disease germs,
flies may spread typhoid, summer
dlarrhea, tuberculosis and other
serious human ailments. It's an
unpleasant fact-but one we need
to recognize for our own protec-
tion-that flies breed in and feed
on filth.
While city apartment dwellers,
living several stories above the
street, are less disturbed by flies
than country folk, in times of strong
winds these winged insects often
invade urban districts They have
been known to fly distance of over
5 miles and as high as 80 feet.
In tarm sections, the stable fly
joins the comon variety in house
hold invasions. presenting an addi-
tlonal problem for the housewife.
1t is dangerous to swat the fly
because germs still remain alive on
its mashed and mangled body as a
source of danger. Many Health
Boards strongly oppose fly swat
ting" The only sure method of
getting rid of this menace is to
kill the flies with a good household
spray. First, close all the windows
and doors. Then, armed with your
spray gun, fill the room with an
evenly distributed mist. Allow from
10 to IS minutes to elapse before
opening the doors or windows of the
room. Finally, sweep up the dead
and the paralyzed flies and burn
them, or otherwise dispose of them
Spraying screens frequently will
keep insects away.

Send Welcoming Note
To Sons Fiancee

Dear Mrs. Post: My son moved to
a distant city and now writes to tell
us that he is going to be married.
He had asked me to write to the
girl and her mother. What makes
it really hard is that he hasn't told
me thing about these people ex-
cept that they are very fine family
Will you help me to compose such a
letter?
Answer: 1t isn't necessary to write
the mother, but you must write to
the girl. This should be the kind
est letter of welcome that you can
compose, with perhaps this general
pattern to go by: Tell her that you
were surprised to hear the news
and are looking forward to meeting
her. You might even tell her that
since your son loves her you feel
sure that you will, too. And you
should, of course, send a message
to her mother, saying that you are
looking forward to meeting her
whenever that may be possible.

Dear Miss Dix-When I was Q
business girl had money Of my own
to spend as I thought best, but
now I have none. When I need
anything have to ask my husband
for the money and explain Just
what it is for, and if he thinks I
need 1t he gives me the money. but
IT he considers that my old dress
is good enough or that I should
make my last years hat do I get
nothing. Naturally I resent this
greatly and to get a little money of
my own have been holding out
on the allowance he makes for food
but my conscience troubles me about
eAiio. lCdoC OCll AlC IlOW VIC CdIl
solve the money question to the
satisfaction of both. MANA.
Answer-No woman who has ever
earned her own living and been
financially independent can ever
willingly suffer the humiliation Of
going as mendicant to even her
husband and having him dole out
pennies to her. Every wife who
makes her husband a comfortable
home, who bears him children and
rears them does the work of at
least three or four servants, and 1t
seems that any man with even an
elementary sense of justice would
feel that she was entitled to the
wages of one, anyway, and give 1t to
her freely as her right.
For man to give his wife an al
lowance for running the house and
also an allowance for her own pri-
vate use is the only way in which
the money question can be settled
satisfactorily. DOROTHY DIX.
