KNOW YOUR ONIONS?
Supply Too Small To Wet
An Eyelash In Wilmington

It is a biological fact that
onions make you cry.
The housewives of Whining
ton are crying, not because
they have onions, but because
they don't.
The local onion wholesalers
and retailers are crying, too,
out Of sympathy partly for the
housewives and partly for their
own cash registers.
Scarce for Months
Apparently there isn't an
onion in town, and, according
to reports from housewives,
wholesalers, and retailers alike,
the rank vegetable has been
mighty scarce around here for
several months.
It's not that the onion is shy

the onions scarcity. One say.

Praise By Reviewer Of
ITALIAN Show

A capacity house greeted the Sec

in ITALIAN Hall last night, when the
Thalians presented this scintillating
and slightly sardonic comedy to a
delighted audience.
The play is funny, and there were
"a or so characters in the cast,
some of them major, some of them
minor, but all of them handled in
excellent fashion. The lines are
quite spicy, not at all Victorian in

WHAT SPEED LENS SHALL { suYe
sGrAfex Pbofo Direcfor

For all-round snapshooting and general photography an F3.5 C. F/4.5 lens is more than adequate. particularly when the camera is equipped with synchronized flash or f1oodlights are used. This is the speed range used by most press and commercial photographers on their Speed Graphics and other general duty equipment. Ever then. a great part of their shots are made at apertures from F/s to F/22. In this range. lenses generally offer greater sharpness and adequate depth of field to handle most subjects properly.
 With .today's high-speed films. even an F/6.3 lens will serve ad- mirably for a broad variety of pho tographic work and will seldom cause you to wish you had spent twice as much for a much fas,er lens.
 In any event, talk your personal photographic interests over with your dealer and let him recommend the type of lens most useful to you. You'll save money and disappoint- ment, and get much more satisfac- i tion from your photography *han if you rush out with the false notion that the fast lenses are the best l ones for any work.
Hartford chronicle., 1946-04-20

A common misconception shared by many beginning photographers is the idea that the faster lens is rated the better it is. This has led many to purchase expensive lenses or whole cameras in the be- lief that an F/1.5 was an open sesame to great photography.
 High-speed lenses have an i'm portant place in certain specialized fields of picture-making. However, with the development of practical lighting equipment and faster film emulsions, the necessity of. ultra speed lenses is not so important as 1t once was. The F/1.5 to F/2.8 lenses were designed with just one purpose in mind: speed. This speed may have been attained at the ex- pense of overall sharpness. Also, these lenses cannot be stopped down to the very small apertures so often desired for great depth of field-a handicap in much general photography. And for many photog- raphers. the added cost of these ultra-fast lenses could be much bet. ter invested in other equipment ! Many people who buy these speed lenses need or use the full aperture so seldom that it's liabilities far outweigh it's value.

nECAUSE we are all saving food ID these days and because it is extravagant to follow the annual custom of Easter Egg Hunts, which require large quantities of eggs with the usual wastage, why not be more practical this year?
