Abraham Lincoln was termed incomparable yesterday while thousands joined in paying hom- age to his memory in the United States and abroad.
 That singular word of praise was voiced by one of the ranking Lincoln scholars, Carl Sandburg, before a joint session of Congress.
 The White-haired poet put it this way:
 Not often in the story of man kind does a man arrive on earth who is as hard as rock and as soft as drifting fog, who holds in his heart and mind the paradox of terrible storm and peace unspeak- able and perfect The incompar- able Abraham Lincoln, born 150 years ago this day, is an approach if not a perfect realization of this character"
 Sandburg was the principal speaker at ceremonies in Washing ton attended by Justices of the Su- preme Court, members of the Presidents Cabinet and the Dip lomatic Corps.

any film you can pick up at

NUMISMATIC NOTES
u. S. Mints-11

Authorized by Congress in
1868. the Carson City Branch
Mint was constructed Of
sandstone from the Nevada
State Prison quarry. Com
pleted in 1867. at a cost Of
100000, it is only 16 miles
from the rich silver mines Of
Nevada's famous Comstock
Lode.
Col. Abraham Curry, dis
coverer of the Gould and
Curry mine. was appointed
superintendent. The mint
opened July /, 1869. but no
coins were struck until 1870.
There are two very rare
coins struck at this branch.
the 1873 dime without arrows
and the 1875 20-cent piece.
The latter is an unusual de-
nomination and there is an
interesting story behind 1t.
Back in the boom days Of
the Nevada silver mining
towns, the story goes. a slug
Of liquor cost 1914 cents, but
was sold for a dime to any
one who had one. Dimes were
scarce and since barkeeps re-
turned only Is cents from a
quarter or IS cents from a
half, a drink more often
than not cost is cents.
This profit on the breakage
annoyed the miners, and Ne
vada Senator John Percival
Jones, the miners friend"
put through a bill authoriz-
ing the coinage of 20-cent
pieces. They were minted in
quantity at Carson City in
1875. 1t isn't clear just how

ways the possibility that
something can happen to the
roll or 1t may be forgotten
long enough to fog up. Print
ing can be deferred indef-
initely if the films have been
processed correctly.
Question - What Is the
meaning Of the term, "depth
of field?"
Answer-This term is used
to describe the range
of sharpness in a pic
ture. In other words. If a
camera is focused on any
given point, the lens will
produce a sharp picture Of
everything at that point and
for a certain distance in front
Of and in back of that point,
depending upon the focal
length of the lens and the
aperture Of the lens. The
distance from the nearest
point that will be in focus to
the farthest point in focus is
referred to as the depth Of
field"
Question-Is il possible TO
make closeup portraits with
q box camera?
Answer-This can be ac-
complished by using a spe-
cial portrait attachment over
the regular lens of the CAM
era. This is an inexpensive
meniscus-type lens, such as
the Portra, that will let you
shoot extreme close-ups with
a box camera and still have
them in sharp focus. This
supplementary lens is also
used when making closeup
shots Of flowers. insects. and
other small objects that
would have to be shot at a
distance from the camera If
the regular lens was used
alone.
Question What kind OF
film do you recommend?

mend any particular film for
use. Virtually all modern

We present today some Of
the more frequently asked
questions about photography
and our answers in the hope
that readers will find useful
information for their guild
ance.
QuestiOn-Can action shots
be made with a box camera?
Answer - Yes. There are
two ways of stopping action
that is not too fast with cam
eras- having a slow shutter
speed. If the background is
important. take the picture
with the subject moving di-
rectly toward the camera
rather than having the sub
ject crossing in front Of the
lens. Another way is to line
up the moving subject in the
finder; then swing the cam
era smoothly so as to keep
the subject always conferred
In the finder and make the
snapshot while both camera
and subject are in motion.
The resulting picture should
be a fairly good action pic
ture of the subject but the
background will, Of course,
be blurred.
'Question-HOw are prints
made that have a high gloss
finish? ,....
Answer-This can easily be
done by making the prints
on glossy paper and drying
them on a ferfotype tin. The
print is placed. face down, on
the tin and the excess water
removed with a roller or
squeegee. Care must be taken
that the tin is absolutely
clean; otherwise the print
will be spotty when removed.
QuestiOn-HOw should film
be prOcessed after exposure?
Answer-Films should be
developed as soon after ex-
posure asSpossible. This does
not mean within hours or
