FILTER FACTORS NO MYSTERY

diaphragm can be set at any inter.
mediate point.
If you use a photo.electric ex.
posture meter, another simple sys-
TEN is to divide your film speed
by the filter factor and reset your
meter. Then the proper exposure
for any scene with the filter can
be read directly on the meter.
In compromising for the in.
creased exposure required by a
filter. you must be careful natural
ly to keep the shutter speed high
enough to stop action in the pic.
ture. or to keep the diaphragm
stopped down for the required
depth of whichever Is most
important. Unfortunately. you can.
not have both in many cases. II
you must use a high shutter speed
and also retain great depth Of field,
the only answer Is to increase the
amount of illumination on the sub
ject to the point where a short
exposure is possible with the filter.
That's all there is to the mystery
of filter factors. More difficult to
master is the subject Of when to

II is hard to understand why so
many amateurs have trouble with
filter factors. BY its very nature,
q filter cuts off some of the light
normally passing through a lens.
Since the film receives less light.
the exposure must be longer. Just
how many times longer the expo
sure must be to give a normal"
negative is what the filter factor
tells you.
Let's suppose our exposure meter
tells us to shoot scene at 1850
second and f/S. We decide to use
a filter with a factor of 2 for the
film used in the camera. To get
the correct exposure, we must
either halve our shutter speed or
open the diaphragm to the next
stop. each lower number on the
diaphragm scale admits twice as
much light as the last number.)
If the filter factor is 8. we would
open the diaphragm an additional
half stop. This is simpler than try.

New Found Process
! Makes Cotton Goods
Wrinkle Resistant

NEW YORK-George A. Har-
ris, president of Dan River mills
has announced the development
of a new chemical process that
makes cotton goods wrinkle re-
sistant," and said the first gar
ments treated with the new finish
would be on he market by No
vember or December.
The process renders cotton fab
RIGS equally wrinkle resistant with
worsted and wooden goods and is
the result of four years intensive
research in collaboration with the
Monsanto Chemical company.
| At a news conference at which
tested and untested fabrics were
exhibited, Harris said the process
was based on Monsanto's "Res-
loom c." a secret synthetic resin
formula which previously had
been applied unsuccessfully to
wooden fabrics so as to make
them washable.
"After ten washing tests, stand
ard tests for sanforizing goods,
the wrinkle resistant qualities Of
the treated cotton fabrics appear
ed stronger" Harris declared. He
added that these qualities increas-
ed rather than diminished with
age and use.
s'This is the most important de-
velopment in the cotton industry
since the adoption Of shrinkage
control and vat drying processes
more than Is years ago. spokes-
Imam said.
( Treated and untreated fabrics
were wadded into fight balls for
the benefit of newspaper and
trades paper reporters. The un-
treated material remained mass
of wrinkles. The treated material
unfolded into a smooth, wrinkle
less pattern.
"The finish gives it residence.
| Cloth treated with the formula
! snaps into it's former condition
by rest or hanging up" the
spokesman said.
The formula will not be Ii
censed and is not patented. The
spokesman did not give reason
: in either case.

the forest products laboratory at
Madison.
Every community that derives
much of its income from the forests
naturally has a vital interest IN the
manufacture of more and more
commercial products from forest
waste. Because greater prosperity,
with the resulting higher standard
of living. will come to everyone by
converting what has been waste
into products desired by industry.
An Illuminating example of the
destructive. descriptive tactics Of
Russian communism is now being
seen in France and Italy. In both
those unhappy countries nationwide
strikes. riots and confusion are be-
ing instigated by the Communist
party. They follow exactly the
lines that have always been used
by the Russian revolutiOnists in
their overflow of other govern
ments. Furthermore, the methods
being used are the same as those
advocated by the communists IN
their writings on revolutionary tao
tics
1t is so clearly evident that pres
ent disturbances in both France and
Italy are inspired by Moscow. They
started Immediately following an
nouncement by the Russians that
they would fight the Marshall plan.
In both those countries the strikes
and disturbances are being led by
communists. They mouth the same
slogans and charges that are com
ing out of Soviet Russia. They
charge the United States with i'm
perialism and with the desire to
impose dollar slavery on the world.
Ali merely in an attempt to con-
fuse and mislead the distraught, suf-
fering peoples into worse confusion
and suffering. It is so evident that
the communist agitators of France
and Italy are merely the agents of
Russia, working for Soviet success.

WASHINGTON. - Long range
implications of a Federal Com
munications Commission request
for a 1878, 900 appropriation from
Cogress to investigate Western
Union Telegraph Company's serv-
ice, rates. and operation are now
considered drastic.
If the FEC should make its in
vestigation and find that U. S. tel
egraph service was not as efficient
as it should be-. there would still
remain the problem of what to
do about it. Three possibilities
have been suggested
Let the government subsidize
Western Union so that it could
give better service for lower rates.
Let the government take it over
and merge it with the U. S. Post
Office Department. A number o.
foreign governments have long
since socialized their telegraph
business, running it as a branch
of the postal service. Finally.
merge Western Union with Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph
Company's Bell System, to let one
management run all of the coun-
try's communications business.
Most kilograms get delivered by
telephone anyway.
Western Union naturally isn't
any too happy about these pros
poets. A survey by, FEC would
cost the company as much as the
government.
Western Unions President Jo-
seph L. Egan appeared before the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee recently. He testified that
what the business needs more
than anything else is to get out
from under the governments Is
per cent excise tax. This makes
the cost of sending a wire 100
high. without the company getting
n benefit from the increase.
Furthermore. company spokes-
men say that before Western
Union is probed. it should be given
a chance to finish its $50 million
m%odernization plan, now sched-
uled for completion by the END OF
1949.
This project calls for the cree
ton of nearly three million miles
of radio relay systems and the
leasing of another million miles of
Bell sytem land lines. Western
Union would then be permitted 70
dispose Of most of its poles ana
wires. Western Union is now try
ing to get rid of a number OF
its offices which don't produce
revenue, substituting agencies in
drug stores, filling stations and
such places that r open long
hours. FEC has to grant permits
sion for the closing Of any office.

hood business associations, and
