face. He did not like the threat of
the lawyer-captain, but he worked
for the food which he ate on that
vessel. Instead of being placed on a
desert island, he was taken to the
Gulf of Darien, and was allowed to
live in a Spanish settlement there.
Like many other settlers of that
time, Balboa had a thirst for gold.
In 1913, he gathered band of SOL
diers and Indians to go with him in
search of wealth. The son of an In
dian chief had told him about a
mighty sea, with land of gold
beyond it.
While searching for this sea, Bal
boa reached the coast of what he
called the South Sea. Today, we
speak of this body of water as the
Pacific Ocean. Balboa was the first
white man to see it from the western
side. He never reached the land
of gold" but another Spaniard, Pi-
zarro, led a party there 13 years
later.

holes in the side of the barrel, he

he had taken the small supply OF

He pushed off the barrel lid, STEP

threaded his way from the dark hold

strips in running water for at least
30 minutes before drying.
II, like many other amateurs,
you prefer to allow your cut films
to accumulate and get all the de-
veloping done at one time, you will
undoubtedly favor the tank method.
Instead of placing the films in a
pile, as with the tray method, you
should load them directly from the
holder into film hangers. Then lower
the hangers into the tank Of de-
veloper. At several intervals during
the development tap the tops of the
hangers sharply against the top Of
the tank to dislodge any air bells
that may form on the negatives.
At completion of development the
hangers should be transferred first
to the shortstop and then to the
hypo where they should remain for
the full period of f1xation. When
properly fixed the negatives should
be washed in running water for at
least 80 minutes and, then hung to
dry. 1t will be observed that all
of the above is accomplished while
the films are in the hangers with
no danger of scratching or finger
prints.
Small tanks are available for the
processing of roll films. These are
tight and can be filled and
drained in daylight without risk
of Jogging the film. Only one such
tank is necessary to process a roll
of film from development to flxa-
tion. Most of these tanks have a
reel on which the roll of film is
loaded. This operation. of course,
is done in total darkness. The
loaded reel IS then lowered into
the tank of developer. Once the
cap is on the tank you can turn
on the lights for the rest of the
Job. Agitation Is accomplished by
gently shaking the tank or by turn
ing the handle that some tanks
have for the purpose. When de-
velopment time is up you simply
pour off the liquid by means Of
the light tight draining holes and
refill with the short stop. This, In
turn, is poured out, and the tank
is again refilled, this time with the
hypo fixing bath. When thoroughly
fixed the film can be washed by
removal of the lid Of the Stank
and running water directed onto the
film reel. Or the film can be re-
moved and cut into smaller lengths
for washing in a tray.
Film packs can be processed by
either the tray or the tank method
but these films are f1imsy and are
difficult to handle in tray and
are virtually incapable OF being
placed in film hanger for the same
reason. Special, small tanks with
racks are ideal for handling film.
pack negatives.
In all the cases mentioned In this
article, the films should be thor
oughly swabbed under water with
cotton or a viscose sponge before
drying to remove any scum that
may have been deposited during
the processing

Nom. Dad, you get our fishing

Now, Mrs. Owl was very nice, but
she had one weakness: She could
never make up her mind about any
thing. That's why the last time
they had gone fishing Mr.. Owl had
said he'd never take her again.
The fishing poles are ready" Dad
announced.

why don't you invite Whooser to go
along?"
They ran next door and came back
with Whooser. Hi. Mr.. OWL" said
Whooser. My MON said to thank
you for taking me-" -

Where shall we fish?" asked
Whoosie, Whooselet and Whooser.

Mr.. Owl answered. Il caught q
whopper down there last time"
Well, pretty soon they came to a
spot that Mr.. Owl liked. He asked
Mrs. Owl if she liked it.
"Oh, couldn't we go a little
farther?" she asked.
Pretty soon they came to another
nice spot. 1t looked vaguely famll-
lar. but Mrs. Owl thought they
might find something better. Sc
they drove on little ways more
Then they came to another nice
spot, and 1t also looked vaguely
familiar.
"Oh, let's stop here" said Mrs
Owl. This looks like perfect

Then they ate lunch. Then they
fished some more.
The boys waded around and tried
to catch something. Whooselet got
bit by crayf1sh. Whooser caught a
nice juicy-looking frog, and Whoosie
caught nice fish. Dad caught a
whopper and Nom caught cold.
Then Mrs. Owl said they'd better
start home, and just as they were
getting into the car Dad chuckled to
himself.
What are you chuckling about?"

Dominic became the youngest
licensed barber in the District by
taking a special course, three nights

his regular classes, five days a week,
at Eastern. He works after school
and on Saturdays in his fathers

But Dominic has no intention of
making career of shipping hair,
massaging scalps and scraping off
whiskers. His ambition is to be a
commercial artist. He plans, after
his graduation from Eastern, to
study art at either the University of
Maryland or Pratt Institute.
"Of italian ancestry, Dominic and
his family intend to journey to Italy
this summer to visit relatives re-
ports the Easterner. "They plan to
visit the cities of Rome, Palermo
and Messina. His helping in the
barber shop contributes to the funds
needed to take them there. and bring
them back" ...z
