BY A. ]. WEDDERBURN
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

The Smithsonian Institution
In recent months there has
been a great hullabaloo among
know in g" photographers
about taking pictures by
available light" All this is
Just about as phony as a So bill.
To listen to these self styled
experts one would think they
had come up with a brand-new
way to take pictures Actually,
to debunk this nonsense, TAX
ing pictures by available light
Is exactly what you and 1
and millions of other photo
graphers have been doing since
1889 when the first successful
photo process was evolved.
When Daguerre made his
first photograph lit years ago
he made it by available light"
When we take a picture inside
or outside with natural day
light we are doing the same
no more, no less.
The only shade of difference
lies in the speed of the films,
lenses, and developers used
nowadays. We can take pic
lures at much shorter expos
ures and with considerably less
light than was possible in the
past, but the fact remains that
there is nothing new about
available light" It's been
there all the time.
So don't rush out and buy
up books and magazines just
because they advertise this
subject as some new, different,
or better way to take pictures
1t just amt so! If you know
your film speed, lens speed,
developer and take the trouble
to use an exposure meter your
pictures will probably be no
better or worse than those who
proclaim their newly acquired
knowledge of the new way
of taking pictures. All they
are doing is making the proper
use of basic camera skills. So
much for available light.

New OrthochrOmatic Film
About new products: Kodak
has come up with a brand new
orthochromatic film said to
possess a speed comparable
with the fastest panchromatic
emulsions. Known as Royal
Ortho Film (as a daylight 200;
125 tungsten) the new product
features the following attri-
butes: the greatly increased
speed without sacrifices Of any
Photographic quality or in
crease in grain-in fact the
manufacturers say there is an
improvement in both quality
and grain.
Other attributes claimed
are improved quality through
minimized blocking Of high
lights, wide exposure and de-
velopment latitude and ease
of development. Royal Ortho
can be processed in most de-
velopers except those contain
ing silver solvents such as
thiocyanateS of thiosulfates.
A silver scum may occur when
such developers are used. De-
velopment by inspection is

it may be safely handled under
a red safelight. This should
be of considerable help to the
camera fan who sometimes
makes his pictures under vary
ing lighting conditions and
wishes to control the develop

New Flash Unit
From Ansco comes a new
product, the Universal flash
unit. A major feature is its
reflector which combines the
advantages of both matte and
mirror rejecting surfaces.
Matte surface refiectors, al
though somewhat less efficient
as a light rejecting medium,
give a smoother and more even
distribution of light than the
mirror type which. does throw
a greater amount of light.
The reflector of the new
Ansco Unit combines the light
rejecting efficiency of a pol
lshed surface reflector with the
advantages of the matte sur
face for even light distribution.
The unit also has a new all
metal bulb socket and ejector
mechanism, an improved cleo
trical circuit, built-in extension
outlet for multiple flash light
ing and a reference chart on
the back of the reflector which
gives exposure information

Vicksburg, Miss, June 4.-Fol-
lowing one of the best parades
since the beginning of Memorial
Day celebrations in Vicksburg, a
program was sponsored at the Ma
tional Cemetery where thousands
of outstanding Negro citizens par
ticipated concentrating all SOL
diers who died in battle in sup
port of their convictions and Amer
lean ideals.
r. Jess Brown, vicksburg at
torney, who was the principal
speaker on the program, pointed
out the opportunities that await
the Mississippi Negro citizen.
Brown stated that the Negroes
first concern is to feel themselves
capable to meet with conditions of
life and to demonstrate pride
within themselves that they are
black. He emphasized the fact
that the Indian usually does not
resent being called a red man, the
Monaghan does not become dis
turbed when referred to as yellow,
the Caucasion never feels insulted
when described as white, the brown
man never hangs his head when
indicated as such, therefore there
is no need of the Negro resenting
being called black

Reversing The Presumption
From: The Christian Science Monitor


Something half of the state attorneys general

that Congress has preempted the field of legislation
dealing with sedton against the Government of the
United States But this disagreement is not unanimous

the matter when he declared he has objection to
Congress- declaring specifically its intent las in the
Taft Hartley Ac) but definitely opposes general legis
lation seeking to deny the Supreme Court power to
interpret the Constitution.
This latter is what the pending Smith bill would
appear to do:
No act of Congress shall be construed as indicating
intent the part of Congress to occupy the field
unless such act contains express provision to that
effect.
The Constitution says:
This Constitution and the laws of the United States
which shall be made in pursuance thereof shall be
the supreme law of the land anything in the con-
tituton laws of any state to the contrary notwth
standing.
That federal law is supreme is, therefore, the con-
stitutiona presumption The Smith bill would attempt
to reverse that Notwithstanding that would be

VIII nOUl r. LOF r. OF GOD
WE ARE LOST"
When / have reached my just
desire
Then Jesus will let me in
He is the doorkeeper of Gods
Heaven
Where there is not a spot of sin.
We have a world to live in
Jesus died to save us all
Who will believe in him
And not in vain will be called.
Christ came to fulfill with his
blood
On a cross on Calvary Hill
No other blood was fit you see,
To pay that precious bill.
He died for every living soul
Who would believe on him and
not in vain
To heal the sick and raise the dead !;
Give sight to the blind and lame.
His father gave Him the power
No other man has process
And the doorkeeper of his heaven
Where there is always eternal rest.
Christ applied his Church in the
hearts
Of all women and men,
Who believe on Him as our saviour,
And not believe in vain.
The Holy Bible is a book of books
But the holy spirit of God is one
The letters are running Gods
Churches,
Yet Gods will must be done.
The letter with the wise in Gods
house
1t is helpful to our race
But the letter with the fool in Gods
house is
Nothing but an open disgrace.
We might as we'll follow Christ
He said, 81 am the way"
Shall we believe Jesus Christ
Or man, and go astray?
God has only one family,
Jesus is the one, we are God,
The Fathers children and
Jesus Christ is the Fathers Son.
