Have you ever thought about
how important a factor light is in
taking pictures? AS matter of
fact, there would be no picture at
all without it. For it is the light
entering your camera when you
open the shutter that creates the
image on the film-light that is
reflected from the subject, into
your camera, and on to the film.
In taking pictures, the lens and
shutter of your camera act just as
the human eye does. The iris of
the eye admits light, which IN
turn registers an image on the
retina. Just as the iris adjusts au-
tomatically to brighter or weaker
light, your camera lets you &C
complish the same effect by means
of it's adjustable lens and shutter
Film has a fixed sensitivity-it
requires just so much light to
register a picture. Too much
i light produces over-exposure-
chalky, "burned-up" look. Toe
little light results in under-expo-
sure-darkness, lack of detail, OF
even no picture at all.
Whenever we use an adjustable
camera, we have to decide VIVA

Arrest Three In
Extortion ATTEMPT

Chicago, ILL.,, June pa $780,
900 extortion attempt fell flat on
it's face here last week when the
would-be victim failed to cooperate
with a trio.
Told by two women and a man
to place $4,000 in a trash can,
Dennis Green crossed the trio up
and notified the FBI. When the
male member came for the money,
the federal law officers greeted
him. The women later were ar
rsted.
Held were Matte Spearman, 49,;
her half brother, William, "a; and
Barbara Turner, 20.
According to the FBI, the trio
sent a letter to Green demanding
that he put the money in trash
can or face a beating or death.
Green, however, notified FBI
agents here and when Spearman
picked up a dummy package, he
was arrested by three federal
agents.

will be the best lens opening and
shutter speed for particular pic
ture. And this, of course, is based
on the amount of light reaching
the subject.
Note that we said light reach
ing the subject" not on the cam
era or on the person behind it. In
picture-taking, it's the light on
the subject that counts, not the
amount of light where the camera
is. AS long as your subject is
Well-lighted, everything else may
be in the densest shade and it
won't affect your picture one bit!
To obtain exactly the right
quantity of light every time you
take a picture, you soon learn to
mix a little observation with a
little mechanical help. The easiest
mechanical assistance for you to
have is the exposure table packed
with most film-or perhaps you'd
prefer one of the 25-cent pocket
size guides which allow you tC
dial the proper exposure for any
given weather conditions, film
distance, etc.

charged. When she refused to
have anything to do with them,
they put her out of the patrol wag-

cording to the petition.
After laundering around for
some time, Mrs. Paden says she
met some boys and asked them

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. l4.--Ninety
former employees Of Maryland
Drydock Co. in Baltimore asked
the court Of appeals yesterday
to allow them unemployment
compensation for the time for
which they received vacation pay
after being laid of.
Judge John T. Tucker Of Balti-
more Superior Court denied them
the compensation because "the
claimants were not unemployed
within the meaning Of the Mary
land unemployment cornpensa-
ton law Immediately following
the last dates worked"
The groups lawyer cited de-
cision OF the law which says:
can individual shall be deemed
unemployed in any week which
he performs no services and with
respect to which no wages are
payable to him."
His argument is that the vaca-
ton pay received was earned
during periods Of prior service.
