there are specimens which prove
they also had less peaceful uses.
For instance, there are preserved
wide metal collars studded with
murderouS long spikes that were
worn by dogs in bear hunts, etc.,
as offensive and defensive weap-
ons. Broad iron or brass collars
without spikes surrounded the
necks of wolf-hunting dogs. These
served as armor for the CANNES
sensitive throats when wolves
slaShed at them.
A few years ago I gathered to-
gether the figures on the births
of a rather large number OF lit
ters of dogs. I wanted to COM
pare the ratio of female to male
pups to that of other animals
Here is what l found!
Out of each 100 puppies
Whelped the average ratio was 81
males to 46 females. Now I have
before me some figures from the
Gaines Research Kennels. They
analyzed Is litters of different

Using his pup tent, Mr.. Belgin
had to wait for moonless nights to

Considering the duresS and
strain which surrounded him dur
ing the taking of these pictures,
Mr.. Belgins capacity for a large
number of excellent studies is
worthy of comment The Belgin
one-man show is one of the finest
documentary series produced by
one photographer during the last
wal. In viewing this exhibition
one realizes the infinite patience
and endurance of the artist be-
hind the camera.

Mr.. Belgin has been a resident of
San Antonio and is staff photo

By S.unding {, small sum you
can add to your chances of getting
back a lost, strayed or stolen dog.
Attach to your pets collar metal
tag or plate with perhaps such
words as these engraved on it:
MY name is Fido. belong to
John H. Doe of SO West 99th
street. He will pay cash reward
for my return"
A policeman or any other honest
person finding such a dog will
almost invariably bring him back
to you. A knowledge of the ami
mails name will often make it
easier to persuade him to come
along. If a dishonest person finds
the dog the prospect of a cash
reward is likely to make him seek
to earn that reward.
A dogs license number serves
as a clue to his owners address.
However, many people do not
realize this: nor, knowing it, will
they take the time to apply at the
City Hall or other municipal
buildings where records of such
numbers are kept. The small cost
of a metal plate or tag may pay
for itself many times over py re-
storing your dog to you.
The dog collar is almost as old
as any item of mankind's raiment,
and it has undergone as many
changes in it's time.

Skillful editing often makes the
difference between good and bad
amateur movie film. Many anna
teurS spend much time and effort
to produce a film that is gem
of perfection so far as exposure
and story content are concerned.
Then they spoil the whole effect
by failing to cut out a few bad
feet of film here and there, or
by y neglecting to arrange the
scenes in the best sequence. This
is due in part to lack of under
standing that film editing is
really a very simple operation. A
great many cine fans simply fail
to realize how much their pictures
could be improved by judicious
pruning and transposition There
are even a few who are reluctant
to throw away a few feet of film
because of the initial cost.
No matter how good film is or
how much careful planning went
into it's production, it always can
be improved with the cutting
shears and splicer. This is true
even if you only cut out three or
four frames that have edge fog.
If your roll of film comes back
from the professor like most anna
teur work. you might as well go
to work on it with the determina-
ton to get rid of every foot that
isn't worth showing Then splice
the rest together in the best Sc
quence and you will have reason
to be proud of what appears on
the screen.
There are times when most OF
the editing of sequence or scene
arrangement can be done direct
ly in the camera. You can decide
before shooting just what scenes
will be necessary and arrange to
shoot them in their logical order.
In other instances, where action
takes place in the same locality
at different points in the picture,
you may favor the technique OF
shooting all scenes in one locale
at one time. This will save much
time and labor if you are using
supplementary lighting. ref1ectors
and other paraphernalia. Then.
after your film comes back. you
can rearrange the scenes in their
proper order
Connecting History.
If you have a whole drawer full
of rolls Of movie film that have
accumulated during the years, ed
itnng will be of particular interest
TO you. At first glance it may
seem that you have hopeless
task ahead, but after a few min
utes study you will discover that
the films will fall into several dis
tinct categories. For instance, all
of the SO or 100 foot rolls of film
you have shot of the children over
period of years will, if edited
properly, make connected and
interesting history of their growth
and development. Your vacation
movies can be cut into one or two
reels of interesting footage.
This treatment will allow you
to locate certain film when you
want it without having to search
