River Readers swooped down on
the organizations and took the
meeting over. It wasn't hard to
do because the president felt
that visitors are entitled to
little special consideration. Chief
complaint of the outlanders was
that Kennewick has been pretty
dow in recognizing these new
corners as citizens of the comm
unity. "For instance" for in
stanced their spokesman, sit is
only now that the Kennewick

The above complaint is well
taken. However the same spokes-

they haven't had time to get "a

boss went out to the Y last week
and came back all filled up
with pride in American traditions
and all that kind of stuff. In fact
he was kind of choked up when
he told us about it. He enjoyed
the privilege of visiting some of
the people who are making their
homes under adverse conditions
in crowded areas. He decided that
Americans are pretty fine peo-
pie wherever you find them.
EXAMPLE
He says he visited one small
tent house where a nurse and her
husband were making a fine
shift of living in spite of crowded
quarters. It was still home to
them and they were proud of it.

point was that Americans are

to Be
Demonstrated Here

The ever elusive solution to the
problem of practical three-dimen-
sion photography has been found
in the new "Trivision" process soon
to be demonstrated by its inventor,
Douglas F. Winnek of Mount Ver-
non. N. Y, at the Anacostia Photo
graphic Center. For the first time
it will be possible to see picture
in its full perspective without the
use of viewing screens, glasses or
other special devices.
Although finishing touches being
made to the equipment have de-
layed introduction of the new sys-
TEN, officials of the Navy Depart
ment emphasize the fact that the
process is as practical as it is new
"Trivision" is based on a series of
tiny, almost invisible ridges or
lenticulations which, on a trans
parent picture surface, are applied
to the film. These ridges serve as
thousands of tiny recording surfaces
which accept many pictures when
the film is exposed in the camera
The final print is composite of
these many pictures recorded on
the negative
Many applications of the "Trivi-
SION system have been predicted.
Among them are: Snapshots in which
you can look slightly around the OBJ
jects in the picture; three -dimen-
sional x-rays which may help tell
surgeons just how deep to make an
incision display, advertising in store
windows, depth perception in aerial
photographs; and training pictures
with greater perspective. Further
in the future, but still possible, are
three -dimensional motion pictures.

Salon Shows
BEST District
Camera Work

High light of Photographic activity
in Washington for December is the
fifth annual salon of the National
Photographic Society which opened
this week in the foyer of the Nat
ural History Building of the Smith
sonian Institution, Constitution av-
enue at Tenth street NV. 1t fea-
lures the best offerings of District
photographers in both monochrome
and color.
Vice President James M. SPRING
er of the society describes the ex-
hibit as outstanding, both from the
standpoint Of the large number of
entries and the rich and varied
methods Of Photographic presenta-
ton. No restrictions were placed
on entrants this year as to subject
material and the entries cover the
field from portrait photography to
landscapes.
Winners in the black-and-whit
division were Justin N. Locke, first;
Ralph E. Lawrence, second, and
Stewart K. Brown, tied with Mr..
Locke for third.
In the color division, awards of
merit went to Miss Marlys Edmon,
Miss Betty Rhodes, Miss Amy B.
Adams, H. B. Belville, M. w. Arps
and James M. Springer. Reuben
Scolnik won merit award for a
large color transparency and Charles
Eliot Perkins similarly placed with
a color print.
Of particular interest are prints
representing many Photographic
processes and techniques which were
restricted during the war lue to
shortages of paper, chemicals and
other Photographic supplies for
print control and manipulation. The
return to normal is strongly ndl-
Gated by resumption of these meth
odS.
The exhibit is open from 9 am.
to 4::3O pm. week days and Sundays
with the exception of Christmas Day.
Cocincident with the Washington
salon is the Smithsonian monthly
exhibit of contemporary photog-
raphy, fearturing for December the
TRAVELLING show of the Camera Club
of New York. The exhibition, To-
Gated in the Arts and Industries
Building, Ninth street at Jefferson
drive S.W., provides an. excellent
opportunity for local photographers
to compare their work with that of
the New York amateurs. The pho

Aside from the newspapers that are
glad to have good pictures for theil
rotogravure sections, picture agen-

photograph of the middle-aged lady

a perfectly straight face-that it is
a lovely picture, then, fellow camera

Taking Ghost Pictures
Bv Double Exposure

@. How are ghost pictures
made?
A. BY double exposures. Place
your camera on a tripod or some
other firm support so that 1t will
not move between exposures, and
place your ghost" CASUALLY a figure
draped in a white Sheet where you
want him in the scene. Then give
a brief exposure - half normal -
which will just register the ghost
image on the film. Then, with the
ghost" safely out of the scene, and
without having moved the camera,
give another exposure - this time
half normal again to bring up all
other details in the scene. The net
result is that your ghost" will ap-
pear ghostly indeed for the add1-
tional exposure will enable the cam
era to see right through your ap-
partition.

afford to take up photography as a
hobby? The answer is that any
one may pursue this pastime within
the exact limits of his own income
Mass production of fine precision
optical equipment, and the output
of modern chemical research lab
oratories, have made cameras and
other Photographic equipment and
supplies available within many
price ranges.
inexpensive One Best.
Cameras may be purchased for
as little as few dollars or for sew
eral hundred dollars. Contrary to
popular belief, the simple and in
expensive camera is the best one for
the beginner. When experience is
gained, and the basic principles of
camera operation are learned, then
it may become desirable to seek
more highly specialized instruments.
To begin the study of any process
with its most complicated tools and
theories is to invite encouragement
and trouble. In photography this
is no exception.
The average darkroom may be
established with small original
outlay and be gradually built up
over a period of time. For the
smaller films, printing equipment
is quite inexpensive. Chemicals,
film and printing paper are pack
aged to sell in both large and small
quantities and their price range is
corresponding.
The universal appeal of photog-
raphy lends itself well to family in
terests. Many hours of mutual sat-
isfaction and pleasure may be had
by the family, particularly where
its members specialize in the diff
erent branches of photography. Some
prefer portrait photography. Others
combine their camera work with
sports, fishing, hunting or other
outdoor interests. Tabletop photog-
raphy is one of the more fascinat-
ing forms of indoor shooting. For
those who enjoy the unusual, much
can be said for the various methods
of trick photography" and print
manipulation and control.
Many Salons Open.
One of the greatest satisfactions
that can be had by the photog-
rapher is the acceptance and ex-
hibition of his prints by the local
and national salons. Since the end
of the war, the number of salons
throughout the country has greatly
increased and Widened the field for
pictorialists.

Meter Gets Results

The need for an exposure meter
by the amateur is best evidenced by
glance at the results obtained by
almost any one who does not use
one. Accurate judgment of lighting
conditions without a meter is for
the professional and. more often
than not, he will be using one, too
The common complaint that the
photo fnisher ruined the pictures
is seldom justified It is more often
true that a bad guess at the time
of exposure is responsible for the
small number of usable prints
sometimes obtained from a roll of
film.

Whut to Do for Wafer Lilies

To insure continually bloom from
water lilies all through the season,
it is necessary to give them extra
feelings. They are great eaters.
A dinner bag for each water lily,
as illustrated in the accompany
ing Garden-Graph, will make
them c%ontented boomers. Fill it
with dried blood or COW manure.
Here's how a water lily can be
given this extra feeding. Drain the
water in the pool to the level OF
the water lily box. Scoop out a
pocket in the soil with a hand
trowel. Place a small paper bag
full of fried blood or COW manure
in this hole, and put it down IN
der the roots of the lily, as illus.
trated.
Light and heat also IRE essen
tial to secure lily blossoms. Be
sure the containers are set in that
part of the pool which receive
full sunlight. If the water over
the crown of a water lily plant is
more than 16 inches deep, raise
the container higher to allow the
