Darkroom

Many years ago when ,photog-
raphy was In its infancy, the man
who could go into darkroom and
develop a picture from a seemingly
blank piece of film was looked upon
as somewhat of a sorcerer. Even
today there are some who hesitate
to set up their own darkrooms be-
cause they feel that it is necessary
to have an intimate knowledge OF
chemistry In order to process photo
graphic films and papers. They are
in the minority. AS a matter OF fact,
photo equipment manufacturers
realize that the best market for
their products lies among the anna
teurs.
Millions of dollars have been
spent in Photographic research, cul-
minating through the years in pro-
cesses SO simple and easy to under
stand that any one, even child, can
develop negatives with good results.
No long, drawn-out operations are
required. A few essential formulas
are available from the same dealer
where you buy your film. Paste them
on the wall of your darkroom. follow
them closely and you will never
have a minutes trouble.
Don't try to experiment and
change the manufacturers formula
Many others have tried this to their
sorrow. 1t should be remembered
that the. formulas have only been
published after much research and
experimentation, backed by unllm-
tied means and the best photo-tech-
nicians in the world. You would not
expect druggist to change the pre-
scription of your physician. The
same applies to tested formulas Tor
the darkroom.
Prepared Formulas Speedier.
Most photographers prefer to mix
their own chemicals, but in the last
few years there has been a swing
of opinion on the part of many
amateurs TO prepared chemicals
These come packaged in containers
and need only to be, reduced to
solution form by mixing with water
Buying your chemicals in this form
will save you time and insure
against any possible mistakes In
compounding a formula. Another
definite advantage to the person
who only occasionally uses his dark
room Is the elimination of the var
iation factor of solutions which
have been mixed to be used at diff
ferent times. Stock solutions tend
to vary or weaken with age and thus
confuses the beginner and possibly
result in a badly developed negative
If the inspection method OF develop
ment is not used. Another advan-
tage in using prepared chemicals
lies in the fact that you need only
use a sufficient quantity to meet
YOUR needs of the moment. These
packages are identical in content
and for this reason insure an un-
varying reaction.
There are many films on the mar
ket, and the manufacturer OF each
has a recommended developer fol
that particular type. So, whether
YOU use the ready made or mix your
own, stick to the formula called for
If YOU are using one kind OF film
this policy will be much easier to
follow and less expensive, too.

ers content to develop their films
year after year without knowing
what happens when the, exposed
film is in the developer. True, it
is apparent that In a few minutes
negative image appears on the
film. But why and how? 1t is still
not definitely known, even to the
experts, just what physical reaction
takes place when negative Is ex-
posed. Visual examination Of an
exposed but undeveloped film re-
yeals exactly nothing. Chemical
analyses fail to reveal more-at
least up to the present time. 1t is
known. however. that exposure of
the silver halide crystals in the
emulsion alters them in some way.
When development commences,
the silver halide crystals in the
emulsion which have been affected
by exposure to light, begin to
change. The. metallic silver in the
crystal is released into the develop
ing solution. When the solution
reaches the saturation point the
silver is redeposited on the Aim in
the form of minute silver grains
which ultimately form the metallic
silver image that you see when de-
velopment is complete. The unex-
posed crystals, which are unaffected
by the developer, are visible. before
immersion in the fixing bath, as a
milky appearing film on the face
of the negative. The fixing bath
removes the unexpoSed silver
halides, allowing the negative to be-
come transparent.

inspection method of developing

stand for daylight saving time in
a unanimous voice vote. The &C
ton was followed by the city
council Friday night institutine
the time change.
J. B. Coan proposed that the
chamber request the telephone
company when it again publishes
a telephone directory to include
the names of rural roads in list
ing telephones of rural jewellers.
A second proposal was made
that "a map be produced showing
all of the new housing additions
in the city and those adjacent to
the city. r. c. Rector is working
on such a map and plans will be

Council Studies
Utility Easement
North Of Ave. T.

Since the project of securing
an alley right of way north Of
Avenue c from Washington st.
to- Gum, has reached an impasse,
the question now resolves into
the problem of securing ease
Iments for utility lines, accord
ing to discussion of councilmen
Tuesday night.
The problem was again refer
red to the street committee COM
posed Of Arthur Campbell, Law
renee Scott and r. c. Rector
with Paul Richmond volunteer
ing assistance.
In order to provide room for
Ia four lane road on Avenue G il
lis necessary to remove utility
poles from the street. Robt Cru
zen, manager Of the Kennewiclk
area of the Benton County PUD,
reported that easement has been
secured on the south side of the
lstreet for utility lines.
Involved on the north side are
the telephone company and the
Pacific Power and Light company
transmission line, as well as the
lPUD.
The council was unable to de-
termine how wide an easement
lis necessary to handle the utili-
ties. The transmission line must
be some so feet from the ground
to clear the other utilities If the
same easement is used for all.
A suggestion has been made that
Ia second easement be secured by
the PP&L for a transmission line
further north following the river
bank.

Time Change
Confusion Clears

Some confusion resulted Mon
day morning in Kennewick as
many residents had not been in
formed of the action of the city
council Friday night in adopting
daylight saving time.
Mayor J. C.. Pratt had pro-
claimed that the change should
take place at midnight Sunday.
However, a number Of people
had failed to receive the informa-
ton and stores and other bust
ness, places found their estab-
llishments short-handed at open
ing time on Monday morning.
Motion for the change in time
was made by Councilman r. c.
Rector and seconded by Lawrence
Scott. Two councilmen abstain.
ed from voting.
With both Richland and Pasco
on the summer time schedule il
Twas deemed advisable for Kenne-
wick to follow suit. The action
was endorsed some time ago by
the Kennewick chamber Of COM
merce but at that time failed to
win a majority in the council
Two Oranges had opposed the
change.
Kennewicls stores this week are
feeling out the sentiment of their
customers on the time question
Some merchants have stated that
they will keep their stores open
until 2 pm, daylight time, il
their regular customers demand
il.
BY mid-week the change over
appeared complete with little OF
no objection being voiced.

Plan to Open
Avenue T. for E.
Traffic Monday

Avenue c may be ready TO car
ry its load Of traffic by the first
of the week, reports Young
Smith of the state highway de-
partment.
The water is falling fast and
the base of the road is drying
out. E.."
Smith predicted, however, that
it will require week to ten days
to open the River road from the
city limits TO Che Y He said that
water is standing in many places
only a few inches under the
pavement and until it drains out
completely the road will not be
safe.
Some sections of ohe road are
apparently damaged by the flood
waters and repairs will be made
as rapi psaydolselsb nnls....st
as rapidly as possible.
The Acc is at work now on
the fill from the Y to the Yaki-
ma river bridge. 1t is planned 10
widen that Eli and to surface 1t
for heavy traffic. Smith predict
co the work would require about
tsro weeks. depending on the
amount of equipment that can be
used.
That section of road will not
be opened. until the surfacing job
is completed.
The c. and E. construction firm
is moving ahead rapidly, Smith
said. on their contract TO widen
the River road to four lane
highway. The company is work
ing on the higher spots and
will move into the lower reaches
as rapidly as water recedes from
the road base.
In the meantime traffic will
continue as at present utilizing
the Vista Road with the highway
open to Kiona above the Y.
City and highway officials are
continuing to study plans for a
new highway route through Ken
newick. The much discussed Gum
street underpass question is be-
ing revived with tentative pro-
posals that the street be develop
ed to meet the possible re-rout-
ing of highway 4O from a point
west of the Y to connect with
Tenth avenue.
The proposal also involves the
probability of the ultimate COM
pletion of North Bank high
way which would also feed into
the same route.
