Of the baby as 1t tends to cut
through the center Of your COM
position and detract from the
theme Of your picture. Better
still, avoid any but a plain back
ground. If there are trees and
bushes or other things that will
project into the composition raise
the level of your camera until
you are shooting from such high
angle that only the grass or your
blanket shows as background for
the shot. Note the accompanying
illustrations in this respect. Both
were shot within a period of a
minute and one-half with the
camera at a high angle and with
the sun very low for a front
lighting.
1t will be seen that the picture
at the left would have been i'm
proved by the absence of the doll
which had just been discarded by
baby whose attention had been
attracted elsewhere. The toys in
the other shot are not to obtrusive
because 1t is obvious that the baby
had just looked up from his play
with one hand resting on each of
the objects. However, it is best
to have as few other elements in
the composition as is possible
under the circumstances.

catch the expressions that you
know are most representative of
his lighter moods. This calls for
some fast work on your part be-
cause you not only have to keep
your eye on baby to see that he
doesn't move out of the plane of
focus. but you have to determine
the exact instant to shoot the
picture, in addition to keeping one
hand on the shutter release.
Pictures made on a more serious
note are obtained simply by at
tracing the attention of the baby
without calling for smile. This
you can do by waving some bright
object or toy to get his head
turned at just the angle you wish
to photograph. Other interesting
reactions may be had by placing
few grains of sugar or a drop
or two of orange juice in the
baby's mouth or on his lips.
Watch the Background.
A soft low lighting from the
sun will be ideal for your purpose
A harsh sun, high in the sky will
both annoy the young subject and
cause unpleasant shadows around
the eyes and nose. Try to keep
the horizon out of your pictures

to get a picture is to hand the
baby a toy and make your ex-
posure during the first second or
two while he pauses to examine
his new plaything. The trouble
with this shot is that the baby's
attention is focused on the object
he is looking at and in cases like
this the expression is usually
serious.

If your baby is between 6 and 10
months old, the time has arrived
for you to unlimber your camera
and shoot some pictures that are
sure to warm your heart in the
years to come. If you have put off
taking pictures of your baby be-
cause of the difficulty in working
with the very young. don't wait
any longer. After 10 months, a
baby becomes rather skeptical of
obvious attempts to hold his at
tention and by that time knows
just what he does and doesn't like.
And it might be your misfortune
to have him take a sudden dislike
to cameras and things photo
graphic.
But during this early period in
his or her life almost any little
trick you may employ-of sound
or color or motion-will provoke
the smiles and grins that make
baby pictures so delightful. Too
many amateur photographers fail
to realize that they are the ones
best qualified to take picture of
their own babies. You alone know
the cute and characteristic ex-
pressions of your baby and are
therefore best qualified to press
the shutter release at just the
right instant.
Before six months it is, as a rule,
somewhat difficult to obtain really
fine portraits of the baby. At the
very beginning he can only lie
quiescent in his crib while you do
your best to snap a record shot.
No chance for smiles or cute poses
here. You just have to do the
best you can under the circum-
stances. Later, as the baby gains
in strength you still have trouble
even though he can sit up or move
about. He is still too wobbly to
assure that you can make an ex-
posure without some movement
of the head, hands or feet. And
in addition ii is extremely difficult
to hold the attention of a very
young baby long enough so that
you can combine good pose with
a good expression.
Six Months Changes Things.
But after six months the picture
brightens. Almost before you
realize it, baby is sitting. crawling
and standing with the aid of some
support. He begins to take in
terest in things. begins to reason
a bit and finally is in the stage
where he is perfect for picture
taking.
If you have an ordinary camera
you will do best out of doors
particularly during the warm
weather. Outdoor shooting does
away with strong lights that are
both uncomfortably warm and
oppressively brilliant to the young
child. The best time of day for
this is in the early morning or
late afternoon when the sun Is
coming in at a very low angle.
Pick out a smooth area of lawn
or place blanket on the ground.
Then set up your camera on a
tripod and focus on some object
such as a doll or toy that is placed
just where you expect to place the
baby. 1t is better not to do your
focusing on the baby as he will
move around freely and make your
task an unenviable one at best.
Prefocusing on some other object
will do as well; but you'll have
to remember where "the spot" is.
Use Meter Reading on Hand.
After your focus is established
take meter reading of your
own hand under the same lighting
that you will use and compute
your shutter speed and diaphragm
opening. Although you will want
to, shoot at as high a speed as
possible to stop motion. it win
help in some cases to compromise
and stop down the lens a bit

Hunters Requested
To Return Leg Bonds
Edr Tags OFF Come

Game management officials of
the Division of Wildlife this
week urged hunters to be on the
lookout for leg bands on pheas-
ants and grouse and ear tags on
reccoon and other animals trap
ped or killed during the present
hunting and trapping season.
Bands and tags should be sent
to the county game protector OF
mailed to the Ohio Division of
Wildlife, 1106 State Office Build
ing, Columbus Isl Ohio, along
with information such as date
killed and the approximate To-
cation. Each band and tag re-
lease information has been care
fully recorded by the Division
and is a part of the program of
wildlife research and manage
ment to determine the move
ment habits of Ohio's game but
is of no value unless hunters re-
turn the bands and tags to Di-
vision headquarters.

added that not more than 100
positions were expected 70 be
available.
DR.. Hissong further stated that
studies conducted by Harold j.
Bowers, Chairman Of the Dl-
vision of Teacher Education, as
long as three years ago, had
shown that this condition would
occur. "We have been urging
more students to prepare for
teaching in the elementary
schools where acute shortages
still exist. Either they do not
want to teach in our elementary
schools, or the ydo not know that
today a nelemntary teacher with
degree receives the same salary
as a high school teacher with a
degree in 92%o of all schools in
Ohio" DR.. Hissong stated.

Game Plentiful,
Officials Report

Reports reaching Division of
Wildlife headquarters in Colum-
bus from throughout the State
during the first week of the
hunting season upheld preseason
predictions that both rabbit and
pheasant shooting would be ex-
ceptionai1y good this year.
At the close of the opening
day hotel Hobbies throughout the
State overflowed with weary
hunters yet unseasoned to the
rigors of a day in the field.
Generally, game bags were
heavy; many reported taking the
limit of two cock pheasants and
four rabbits while others seemed
content with partial limits or got
a big kick out of just hunting.
Except for the oldtimers that
weathered other seasons, both
rabbits and pheaSants were con-
fused by the big hunt and had to
be coaxed into flight or a run
for cover.
Although hunting, compared to
other sports, Is considered one of
the safest sports considering the
number who participate, news
paper headlines and radio flashes
carried grim reminders that ac-
cldents can and will happen to
the careful and careless alike.
Disregard for laws and court
esy to landowners both before
and during the early part of the
season by few hunters is ex-
pected to threaten further the
privilege of free public hunting.
The majority of the landowners
and farmers, according to reports,
still have faith in the real sports.
men and welcomed hunters in
limited numbers. Others adopted
the hunting fee plan to keep
everything under control and
still others closed their lands in
self-defense.
The pheasant season continues
through Nov. rs and rabbits may
be hunted through Dec. 26.

Although reason may tell a man
the chances are against his win

The reasonable man has to

less in practice.
Starts Like Chain Letter.
1t all begins-like the chain
letter of the '30s-with a friend
who has two friends. These two
friends between them have four
friends and those four friends
have a total of eight friends.
That is the pyramid. It's also

Of to the side of chart show

The trick is to get to be that
top man. Here's how it works,
barring misadventures which are
numerous and financially diSaS-

You are, say, a newly recruited
club member. Solicited by q
friend who gives you name and
address, you go to a pyramid
party and pay 81. You get the
all-important chart with your
name at the bottom tier OF the
four-tiered pyramid. Your host at
the party explains he is going to
take your 81 and that of the seven
others who came to his party and
give it to the person whose name
is in the No. l spot on the vertical
list at the side of your chart.
Told to Recruit 2 Friends.
You are told to find two friends
and send them to a party the
next night. The party giver is
one of the two persons who were
on the second tier of your original
chart. The pyramid now has
split into two parts and each OF
the two pyramids heads gives
a party.
You sit tight on the third night.
during which the pyramids have
split again and four parties are
in progress.
On the fourth night you give a
party. So do the rther seven
persons who were on the bottom
