Photography Is one Of those
rare hobbies that can pay for
itself or even show a good
profit If the lobbyist plans it
that way. There are many
ways the amateur can earn
money and we will discuss
some of them today.
It is fairly obvious that
there is always a good market
for amateur pictures among
the Nations newspapers and
magazines. This, however, is
a subject worthy of individual
treatment and we will go into
it at length in another column.
For the time being, let's look
at some ways of making
money with a camera in a
market where the clientele is
not so discriminating as pro-
fessional editors.
Virtually every day you
will come into at least passing
contact with numbers of po-
tential picture buyers. All it
will take on your part is a
little enterprise and effort to
develop a well-paying sideline.
At the same time, you will
have a lot of fun making it
pay for your own film. cam
eras, equipment and supplies.
Take your own friends and
neighbors, for example. Many
of them have children. You
should be able to pick up trade
by photographing them for
fees very attractive to the
prospective purchasers of pic
lures of this type.
You will actually find your
self with two very distinct
advantages over a professional
photographer. Lack OF a STUDIO
can be a point in your favor.
Youngsters are, more often
than not, nervous and fearful
when taken into a strange
looking place, to be faced with
banks of huge lights and the
other paraphernalia of the
professional studio. You, on
the other hand, will be able
to take the pictures in the
familiar surroundings of the
home, where your subjects will
feel relaxed and at ease. A
plain, painted wall, hung
blankets or sheet will serve as
an excellent background for
portraiture and a couple Of
lights will be about all you
will need in addition to your
camera.
Another favorable circum-
stance is that you are known
to the subjects.

Imperforote Suggestion
Still Is Being Debated
By jones WoIdo Foweett

Do collectors want current
stamps made available In i'm
perforate form? When this
question first was asked by The
Star on January 2. many read
ers indicated that they favored
such an alternative to off,
center adhesives manufactured
In the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing under prevailing
economy" regulations.
These philatelists realized
that the problem would not be
solved completely by produc-
ing imperforates. The off,
center regular perforated
stickers still would be current.
and the difficulty Of finding
even an occasional "perfec-
ton" sheet or part-sheet would
remain just what it had been.
Each collector desiring full
showing Of United States
varieties necessarily would be
obliged to seek two specimens
of each stamp instead of one.
Thus his investment would be
doubled, as it was in the in
stances of the Farley Follies of
exactly 20 years ago.
DeoIers Critical
Leading dealers naturally
were critical of The Stars
postulation. One of them
declared that imperforate
issues of all stamps would
'break the back" of the
trade and thus would be "the
worst thing that ever hap
pened" to the business. A
philatelic magazine attempted
to dispose of the whole sug-
gestion by calling 1t foolish.
Post Office Department officers
who originally had been
friendly to the proposal an
nounced: THE Department
has no idea of issuing imper-
forate stamps. There is no
need for them from a service
standpoint and we do not be-
lieve that it would be justifi-
able to issue them as philatelic
items"
But the matter is not
settled. There demonstrably are
collectors who do want imper-
forate sheets of recent stamps
and gladly would buy them if
they were on sale in the Phil

showing the major steps in the

You will probably think of

such as shots of school teams,
