Monroe Doctrine
Half Dollar

The Monroe Doctrine Cen
tennial commemorative half
dollar of 1923, oddly enough,
was sponsored by the movies.
The doctrine. first stated
by President Monroe in a
message to Congress on De-
cember 2, 1923, is one Of the
foundations of American
foreign policy. 1t involves
two principles. that of non
interference with the inde-
pendent countries of the
Americas, and no further
colonization Of the New World
by the Old.
During June of 1928 the film
industry staged an American
Historical Revue and Motion
Picture Industry Exposition"
in Los Angeles, with the
Monroe Doctrine as the fea-
tured theme.
The project was to be A.
nanced through the scale Of
Monroe Doctrine commemo-
rative half dollars at 81 each.
However. it seems likely that
the purpose was as much
movie publicity as financing.
The coins were authorized
on January "a, 1923. They
were designed by Chester
Beach. The diverse shows
the heads of President James
Monroe and his Secretary of
State, John Quincy Adams.

male figures symbolic of

Why Try to Lose
In Photo Contests?

will have a chance only II it's
subject is extremely arrest
ing or unusual.
Take your time shooting q
picture. Check focus and ex-
posure before you shoot.
Then, if you process it, make
sure development and print
ing are carefully handled.
Contest judges appreciate
good quality in photographs.
Keep the backgrounds
clean and simple.
Don't photograph a sub
ject posed against a busy"
background. Emphasize the
main subject and subdue the
background. Use the sky, q
lawn, or plain wall if pos
Sible. When a poor back
ground is unavoidable, focus
sharply on the subject and
throw the background out of
focus. Do this by opening the
diaphragm and shooting at
a faster shutter speed.
Stress the Subject
Another good point: EN-
phaSize the main subject by
filling the frame with it. In
many snapshots the subject
is so small it is difficult to
find it at all. Sometimes with
an otherwise good snapshot
you can enlarge the print so
as to eliminate the unwanted
wasted space. However, it Is
good picture practice to avoid
this before swapping the pic
ture. y
When people are in the pic
ture Keep IT natural look
ing by purposely arranging
them to prevent them from
staring at the camera. Give
your subjects something to
do-avoid the frozen look
that appears when they look
pop-eyed into the camera
lens.
Finally, list your name, ad-
dress and other information
called for on the back of
each print you send in. And
be sure the pictures are on
their way in plenty of time
to beat the contest deadline.

Having screened thousands
of contest entries we some
times wonder If people are
actually trying to lose.
Since this would hardly be
the case we will discuss today
ways and means of winning
photo contests. Many will
be getting under way in the
weeks ahead-including The
Stars Annual Snapshot Con-
test.
Don't just hope that any
old snapshot you may have
around the house will have a
chance of being pulled out
of a hat" Contests aren't
judged that way. Instead, go
through pictures you have
made in the past year and
give them a thorough screen
ing. Get rid of those that
should obviously have no
chances to win. Then, by a
process of elimination, pick
the very best pictures and
enter them according to the
rules.
Read Those Rules
The rules of every contest
are important. Otherwise
they wouldn't be listed. The
judges will throw out imme-
diately any pictures that
violate these rules. Read
them carefully, They are
usually short and simple. So
find out quickly If a given
snapshot is eligible. @ @
Before you send in a pic
ture make sure that it is
easily understandable. Photos
that puzzle the judges will
get short shrift. Each entry
should have an instantly ap-
parent message" for the
viewer, no matter how simple
the point may be. Contest
judges will be looking at
hundreds-even thousands of
shots-and won't have the
time to ponder the purpose
of an entry. Let your pic
ture tell a story at a glance.
Don't try to win by drag
ging in the product or name
of the contests sponsor. AS a
matter of fact, use of prod
ucts in a picture often rule
them out of consideration.
Stay away from a corny ap-
proach.
Strive for Clarity
Make your pictures sharp.

pictures we see entered in

ises to empty the Federal treasury at our
feet" whereas we should know there is moth
ing there but the tax money we, ourselves,
put in. "These taxes" he said, "are blood
and we cannot be nourished by it, any more
than those wolves can thrive on their own
blood"
"But we have bought this kind of trick
on many past election days. Today the Min
nesota farmer is taxed to subsidize the cleo
trio bills of plumber in Knoxville. The
Knoxville plumber is taxed to subsidize the
Minnesota farmer We are all being taxed
to subsidize each other :. trying, through
the Federal process, to nourish ourselves
with our own blood"
Obviously, we shall have to become less
silly and less wolfish before we can expect
the caliber of leadership the nation SO des-
perately needs and the quality of statesman
ship that can give us spending reforms.
Vote-hungry candidates will be willing
to listen to pleas for Government economy
and tax reform once we make it clear that
we are onto the knife-trick they have been
practicing on us anemic taxpayers. Let's
make it plain to our representatives and all
