Many Photographic workers are
interested in producing art
through the means of a camera
and allied equipment. A group
of American workers of inter-
national repute have banded to-
gether for the purpose of pre-
serving and advancing the art OF
Photographic pictorialism. This
group, the American Society of
Photographic Art, publishes a
bulletin. each issue presenting the
views of a member concerning a
Photographic control process. We
have been fortunate enough to
obtain permission to reprint these
articles from time to time and to-
days guest columnist is Harry K.

Photographer. Mr.. Shigeta's ar
ticle, Operation Metamorphosis'
Most students of photography
never pass the dada stage ir
pictorial expression. A combi-
nation of genius and opportunity
allows the exceptional photo
grapher to overcome mechanical
limitations and produce works OF
art in Photographic form, but
even the discouraged amateur
bruised from a series of salon re-
jections, can become an artist by
treating his faulty negatives as
raw material for reworking.
THE painter may transplant a
tree or reshape a hill. He may
eliminate a house or create a
barn, in the interest of compost
tion or mood. He may tighten the
value of a distant object in order
to add dimension to the painting.
He may change the contour of a
tree to improve the rhythmic
movement of the whole compost
ton. Essentially, he uses the
scene he is painting merely as a
vehicle to create an idea or a
mood, which is present in his mind
rather than in the setting itself.
Inability to do these things
in photography has been the stock
alibi for many a poor picture.
Actually. in skilled hands, the
apparent inflexibility of the pho
tographic medium can become
just as flexible and free in express
sion as the painters art. The proc
ess begins by considering your
file of negatives as a group of
scenes from which to select one
at time for the basis of a crea-
tive work in Photographic form.
THE negative. The quality of
a negative intended for this pro-
cedure is not very important. As
a matter of fact, a faulty original
negative may be remedied or COR

Miss Ida May. daughter Of
Archibald White. the chatelaine
Of White Manor. and all of her
sisters and brothers were born in
the old homestead.
Enos Roy Home.
Another old dwelling In north
west suburban Washington. which
once attracted more or less atten-
ton, while it was still standing
on the west side Of New Hamp-
shire avenue a little south of Mis-
souri, avenue. was the early home
Of the pioneer Enos Ray.
Enos Ray moved into the Dis
trict Of Columbia about l20 years
ago. Mr.. Ray first farmed the
Marshall Brown tract. which ad-
joined Petworth on the north. and
in 1885 bought the farm on which
his old home still stands. then
bounded on the north by the Milk
House Ford road. the name later
being changed to Shepherd road.
His great great = grandfather
William Ray. settled In Anne
Arundel County at a very early
date. and through John. John. jr.,
and Alexander. in succession. Enos
Ray was descended. Some of his
forebears served In the Colonial
and Indian Wars. as we'll as the
War for Independence and the
War of 1812-1815.
Enos Ray died in 1882 at the
age of 80 years and was buried
in Glenwood Cemetery. where his
mother, who lived to be 104. was
earlier placed to rest. He was
one of the early members of the

Association Of the Oldest In
habitants.
Enos Ray, the elder. was mar
ried twice. His f1rst wife was
Sarah. daughter Of Anthony l..
Moreland Of Anne Arundel County.
She died in 1926 and ne later mar
ried Elizabeth. the daughter Of
Archibald Osborn Of the District
OF Columbia. BY the first wife he
had William. Alfred and Anthony.
and by the second marriage, Mary,
Barbara E., George H. John W..
Caroline E.. James Enos, Martha
and Catherine.
Numerous descendants OF the
children of Enos Ray reside In
and near the District OF Columbia,
including among others Charles w.
Ray. for many years president OF
the Brightwood Citizens Associa-

Many of the old landmarks
along Georgia avenue-originally
called Seventh street pike-have
long since been removed. How
ever. some of these might here be
mentioned, including Beyer's Park,
now the baseball grounds. On the
west side of Georgia avenue, north
of Barry place. formerly Grant
avenue. was Cowtown. Back of
the road. at 3543 Warder place.
was the home of Asa Whitney, for
whom was named Whitney avenue,
now Park road.
Just when Asa Whitney came
here is not certain. though 1t is
evident he was here at the time
of Early's raid on Washington in
1864. The oity directory for 1870
gives him as residing at 18th West.

after him as Whitney ave-, pri-

road from Capt. Asa Whitney's
residence, bet. B. & o. r. r. and
Brentwood road" a rather in
definite description.
An obituary notice of Mr.. Whit
ney briefly states: ASA Whitney,
an enterprising and energetic
merchant, for many years resident
in New York, whose attention was
early called to the necessity and
feasibility Of a Pacific railroad,
and who by public addresses and
earnest appeals and petitions to
Congress succeeded in procuring
the appropriations for the first
explorations and surveys. which
made its necessity apparent. He
died in Washington, D. c., aged
rs years"
Not far to the west Of the Whit
ney home, in the Soldiers Home
grounds-ehAt where the Scott
Statue stgnds-was the girlhood
home Of the parents Of Miss Mary
Virginia Scrivener. who, when
grown. became Mrs. Cook, the
wife Of Col. c. Fred Cook Of fond
memory and she still has affec-
tionate recollections of the days
when she scampered over the
steep slopes Of the grounds near
her home.
An old house in this neiehbor-
hood stands just of of Georgia
avenue on the south side Of New
ton street. 1t was standing In
1855 when purchased by Steward
James Gass. Mr.. Gass' daughter,
Bessie Amelia, married z. w.
Macintosh, and their daughter,
Mrs. Grace Watrous, the writer

Of the property. Another daugh-
ter Is Mrs. E. Raymond Horton.

add the acid last, slowly, and
with constant stirring.
ITO apply, fasten the positive
to wire-type film hanger so that
the film is firmly held by it. Hold
this in front of you with some
white object such as the back OF
white enameled tray at about
two feet distance so that you may
examine the density of the posi-
tive by the reflected light. Take
a small tuft of cotton, soak it in
the reducer, squeeze out the sur
plus. apply it to the portion that
requires reduction. From time to
time, put the positive under tap
water to wash away the reducer
and examine. The whole proceed
ure should progress slowly.
Sometimes the solution may
give brownish stain, but you
need not be alarmed. The stain
can be removed with a small
amount of sodium bisulf1te in a
few ounces of water applied with
another piece of cotton. Dark
specks or objects to be eliminated
can best be removed by the use
OF a good etching knife.
Sometimes it is necessary to
reduce portion which is close
to an object that requires no re-
duction, for example, the dis
tant pier in a picture in which
the bow of a boat cuts through
the pier. In such a case, do not
be afraid to run the cotton right
over the bow of the boat. This,
OF course, reduces the value of the
bow as well as the pier. but
it can be brought back to its
original value later on. Wher-
ever you wish the value to be
darkened, use local intensification,
but the intensifier must be of
such a nature as to give a black
and not a yellow-brown image.
Personally, I favor a mercuric
chloride formula as follows: Po-
tassium bromide, $50 grains; mer-
curic chloride. $50 grains; water,
IL OF. When such an intensifi-
cation is used. the image in the
film takes on veiled white image
which can be changed into pure
black by immersing the film in
a solution Of sodium sulflte and
water. The amount of soda to
water is immaterial. You can use
it strong or weak.
Dye Process of Modification.
Modification and correction
OF values. Sometimes it is found
that local intensification cannot
be applied without changing the
values of the adjacent area. In
such a case. modification may be
had by application of dye.
"The method of use is as fol-
lows: Procure 0) a small color
dish such as water colorists use
with at least three shallow COM
partments: CD two water color
brushes, sizes No. / and No. 6.
With the larger Of the brushes,
take out brushful of dye, trans
fer it to one of the compartments.
AS this is too strong in intensity
for general practice. it must be
diluted. With aid of an eye
dropper, add a little water to
dilute to about half it's strength.
Again tranfer q brushful of this
diluted dye to the next compart-
ment. and once again dilute with
water to even weaker strength,
repeating this process until you
have three different dye solutions
Carrying in intensity.
To alter the light portion into
a low tone, apply the weakest
dye solution with a brush on the
back Of the film. The dye gradu-
ally soaks into the gelatin coating.
The technique of this application
is to keep the brush moving and
not staying on one spot too long.

Hooking Eorthworms

There are several effective meth
DDS for hooking earthworms to
entice trout, and it's a matter of
individual preference by the fish
erman which he uses. All methods
that take trout leave most of the
worm free of the hook so that the
bait has plenty of wriggle. One
of the most effective methods is
to hook the worm by passing the
point and barb just beneath the
skin of the unsegmented band (cli-
tellum), which is located about a
third of the length of the worm
from the head end. This band is
somewhat greater in diameter than
the remainder of the worm, which
makes hooking in this manner
quite easy and the worm remains
lively longer than when hooked
deeply.
When a fisherman has small
worms and the trout seem to pre-
fer banquet, two worms can be
hooked in the above manner, one
from the head end and one from the
tail end of the clitellum. Short
shank hooks with a round or
"model perfect" bend with straight
point have been proven better than
the rolled-in point style hooks so
popular with bait fishermen.

Tips to Anglers
BY JIM RHODYI

When you catch that big one this
summer you probably will wonder
what procedure you should follow
to have it mounted. A few simple
precautions can be taken by you
which will insure a perfect speci-
men hanging on the wall of your
den or living room.
First of all, most taxidermists
prefer to receive fish unskinned
SO they can make a cast of it.
There are times, however, when
this is not possible so the best
thing to do is place your fish on a
piece of paper after it's caught and
run a pencil around it carefully to
obtain an accurate outline. Be sure
to make notes on color.
Next step is to cut open the side,
not the belly. If you have made an
outline the skin can be removed. Be
very careful about this operation.
A little patience will pay big divi-
dends. Fins should be separated at
the base from the body with
sharp knife or other instrument.
Grease should be scraped off and
then the skin can be spread and
rubbed down with salt on the inner
side only. Let the skin lay until
the next day then roll it up in a
piece of paper and ship to the
taxidermist in a box or tin can
with air holes. The specimen also
will keep for several weeks in this
manner. Remember to enclose your
notes and sketch with the ship
ment.

Swimming Safety

Lakes and streams furnish recre-
alton for thousands of fishermen,
boatmen, and swimmers, but they
are also the scene of almost daily
drownings, mostly caused by care
1essness.
The American Red Cross sug-
gests the following hints on water
safety: Wait an hour or two after
eating before going in swimming.
Don't stay in water after becoming
tired. Swim only in supervised
swimming places. Don't overesti-
mate the distance you are able to
swim. River currents are danger
GUS; don't try to buck them. Use
the safest method possible to res
cue a person in trouble in the
floating object if possible.
