The Smithsonian institution

clubs have. programs of instruction
in all phases of photography. In
many instances instructors are
either professional photographers or
are just as expert in certain fields,
if not more so. The meetings are
usually held at night at hours which
are convenient.
In the event that you do not find
it convenient to attend either a
school or club meeting. you will
still be able to improve your under
standing of Photographic procedures
through a study of books on the
subject. As matter of fact every
photographer should have small
home library that can give all the
answers as and when they are need
ed. There are many excellent books
written by recognized experts in
such a way that the beginner can
easily understand the intricacies of
composition, lighting, exposure, de-
veloping, printing, etc.
The average book for the begin
ner in photography covers the ba-
sic principles fairly we'll 1t dis
cusses camera types, films, color
photography and general laboratory
processes. Unfortunately. in most
Of these books, there appears the
thread of the authors personal lido
syncracies and preferences for Ger
tain lines of procedure, with the
result that no two of them recon-
mend identical formulas or meth
ods. 1t Is undeniably true that
each writer has arrived at conclu-
sions based on his own experiences:
hence the diversity of opinion that
may be confusing In some cases.
However. this applies in the narrow
sense regarding certain techniques
and does not hold true in the main
the broader issues.
Navy Has . Book.
The need for an effectively writ
ten work on photography is most
nearly met, in our opinion. by a
two-volume work published by the
United States Navy Department.
The books are based on years of
experience by average photogra-
pliers. Standard working procedures
are essential for speed of produc-
ton in the Navy, under all condi-
tions, in many areas. and these
volumes are the basis for instruc-
tion toward just that end. They are
written clearly. in such a way that
any one can easily understand all
of the subject matter
Volume I is devoted to the basics
OF photography. including sections
on light and lenses. types of cam
eras, negative materials, shooting
techniques, Photographic chemi-
Gals and solutions, film develop
ment, contact and projection print
ing. negative and print troubles,
flash photography, filters, infra-red
photography, copying, portraiture
and group photography. lantern
slides, photography with pola-
screens, and other subjects. The
book is well designed and Is set up
to lead the beginner naturally and
easily through the various steps
that he must master to become a
good working photographer. The
volume also contains all the nee
essary formulas for the working So
lutions and other data that the pho
tographer must have reference to
from time to time.
The second volume covers color
photography, aerial photography,
stereoscopy and motion picture
technique. It is as well written as

can give for this simple treatment

is, one of my dogs does and
know Of certain dogs who hav,
trained with regular Army unit
that have them. I found out thai
the Army was experimenting with
strapping a radio to dogs back
and that the animals actions were
controlled by person a great dis
tance away, the commands issuing
from small speaker on the ca
mines back.
l secured one of these sets fol

would have to do when one of my
dogs went out and I wanted him
to return, would be to 60 to the mi
crophone in my house and say
"C'mon home, Pal. Your supper is
ready"
It's not working out just that way
Pal now roams more than ever.
So you want your dog to be a
watch dog at night. If so, then the
animal should be fed on a differ
ent schedule from that employed
for an ordinary house pet. House
pets are usually given their main
meal late in the day or in the early
evening A night watch dog should
be fed his main meal in the morn
ing followed by a very light one
later in the day. Such q schedule
will assure the animals being alert.
The other day q friend of mine
brought his newly-acquired fox ter
rier puppy over to the house and
asked me if I knew what was wrong
with the dogs leg.
On examination discovered that
one of his children had put an
elastic band around it and had for
gotten to take it of. The elastic
band had cut deeply into the flesh
and the poor animal, in his unsuc-
ceSsful attempts to chew the band
in two with his teeth, had further
torn the skin.
Never whip q dog with q stick or
the end Of leash. If you think he
should be disciplined, use q folded
newspaper as a whip. 1t will not
hurt him and the noise it makes
will be sufficient punishment. Per-
sonally, I nave never found it nee
essary to whip q dog. Speaking to
the animal in a harsh tone Of voice
will do the trick. Whipping q dog
might not only injure him phys
ically but it might also break his
spirit and make him timid.
Four letters from readers are be-
fore me asking me to repeat my
mysterious cure for skin ailments.

Longer Rotation Gives
Bigger Beet Yield

A LONGER CROP rotation for
sugar beets was credited with Civ
ing a somewhat higher yield per
acre for the crop than shorter rota-
tons at the Torrington substation
farm of the University of Wyoming.
Six and seven-year rotations,
which included three years of
alfalfa and one of sugar beets, said
Leon Paules, superintendent of the
farm, have produced an average of
14.40 tons of beets per acre during
the past 10 years. This is a ton and
a half more than beet yields from
two shorter rotations.
