by the plastic coating can
easily defeat your purpose.
# you are in a hurry to
make prints from negatives
you have just developed you
can help the drying process
along with an electric fan.
With certain types of film you
may hang the f1lm-hangers
directly on the protective cage
OF the fan. Even faster drying
can be accomplished by hang
ing the negatives in front of
an electric heater with the
fan blowing warm air onto the
negatives. Be sure the work
area In front Of the fan is
free Of dust which could be
driven into the wet emulsion.
Eorly Developing
The time always comes when
a photographer wants to de-
velop one or more pictures
before the entire roll has been
exposed. If this happens to
you and you want to get at
the exposed films but hesitate
to waste the rest of the roll.
take your camera into the
darkroom, turn out the lights
and open the camera. Cut
the last exposed frame free
from the unexposed portion
OF the roll. In so doing, be
careful not to damage the
paper backing = of the film.
Then use a strip of cellulose
tape to fasten the remaining
end Of the film to the paper
backing. Close the camera
and wind the next exposure
into position.
Now that hot weather is
upon us you may run into
trouble keeping your chemical
working solutions at the COR
rest temperature. There are
several ways to remedy the
situation. A small plastic bag
filled with crushed ice can
be lowered into the solution
until the right reading on the
thermometer is reached. Or
the container holding the Solu-
ton can be placed in a larger
one filled with ice. Never
place the ice directly in the
bath. This would weaken the
solution with possible dis
astrous results. Or, if you have
lots OF time, you may place
the bottle containing the solu-
ton under a running cold
water tap and wait until the
temperature drops to the de-
sired level.
If you have only one gradu-
ate in your darkroom for
measuring liquids and it breaks
in the midst of an important
processing session you may still
win the day if you can find a
medicine bottle with the re-
quired markings. If there is a
baby In the home use q nurs-
ing bottle. Still another &C
ceptable substitute can be
found in the kitchen. You
should be able to find a liquid
measure among your wife's
cooking tools.

one of the abrasives suggested
to clean the base of the fash
lamp. Don't moisten the lamp
end as some photographers do.
This will provide a good con-
tact but each time you do this
a small amount of moisture is
transferred to the contact
point inside the flash attach
ment and the resulting oxida-
ton may make it tough to get
an efficient contact at some
later date.
If you are sometimes plagued
with wrinkled or curly prints
here's a good way to straighten
them out.
Take a dry print and
moisten the back with a wet
cotton swab. Treat another
print similarly. then place the
two face to face between blot
ters and place a heavy weight
on top of the sandwich. A few
hours later the prints will be
dry and perfectly fat. Don't
apply pressure to prints
covered with a blotter if the
emulsion is wet or particles of
the blotter will adhere to the
picture surface.

Camera Angles

Six months ago we did a
column on photo-tips brought
to our attention by readers
and visitors to the photogra-
ply section. It apparently
met with approval, for a large
number of letters have since
come in from followers Of the
camera page containing both
new and old ideas which
should be Of value to the anna
teur photographer. We pass
them along herewith.
The first is an oldie but just
as effective today as ever. If
you suspect that your folding
camera has a light leak in the
bellows, take it into a dark
room and insert a small
Christmas tree bulb inside.
Turn of the room light and
snap on the bulb in the
camera, with the bellows ex-
tended all the way. Any leaks
will Immediately become visi-
BILE.
Incidentally. you should give
your darkroom a period check
for light leaks which might be
enough to fog film or even
paper. Lock the door, turn out
all lights and wait for your
eyes to become adjusted to the
darkness. This will take about
5 or 10 minutes. If by then
you can't spot any leaks you
can safely assume that your
darkroom Is safely sealed
against light penetration.
You may be one Of those
photographers who takes ex-
treme care to see that his
camera Is dirt-free and the
lens clean. But what about
the carrying case?
Surprisingly enough, few
photographers ever think to
clean out this dust catcher.
The big cases carrying camera.
lenses, flash accessories, light
meter and other gadgets are
the worst offenders. You may
start the day by cleaning up
your camera. But five minutes
after 1t goes in the case it may
be dirtier than ever-Some-
thing that can definitely affect
your pictures. Give the case a
periodic going over with the
vacuum cleaner. Any dust or
dirt left after this may be
picked up by the use Of a damp
cloth.
Practice Sofety Measures
Here's a suggestion for movie
and Slide-f1lm fans. Each time
you set up your protector on
a table and leave things at that
you run the risk Of having
some one trip over the cord
in the dark, pull the machine
to the floor and perhaps in
jure himself as well. To pre-
vent this run the cord under
the rug while the protector Is
in use and then wrap the pro-
jector end Of the cord around
a table leg. This will prevent
the machine from being jerked
violently to the floor.
Do your labels come on every
time you wash the bottles used
to store chemical solutions?
If so use a plastic spray to
cover the label. Do not do
this Immediately after mois-
tening the seal for application
because the moisture locked in
