Photography has for many

Of fun but leaves most with

equally important. 1t is in

And because photography
Is so inexpensive, there is q
monumental waste involved
that is a source Of never
ending wonder to this writer.
Actually. the average anna
teur camera fan could cut
the cost Of his hobby by 20
to 80 per cent simply by
learning the basic facts about
1t and by exercising Q little
restraint and care.
Poor Exposures
Take yourself. for exam
pie. How many shots from
that last roll Of film are
really worth saving? Were
two or three so badly exposed
that they wouldn't make
good prints? Perhaps an
other is useless because cam
era or subject moved while
the shutter was open.
Was another perfect" ex-
cept that part Of the sub
ject's head was inadvertently
cut off-or perhaps 1t was an
arm or the feet? How about
the shot that got away" be-
cause you had q monochrome

forgot to remove 1t when you
reloaded the camera with
color film?

All these and countless

Then, in the darkroom.
more valuable material is lost
for other reasons. A guess or
trial exposure on a full sheet

Did you mix q gallon Of de-

All this unneedful waste
and loss is largely attribu-

all about and how 1t should
be practiced.
Too many of US pick up
the know-how only after
many years Of trial-and-

we have thrown away many
dollars worth Of film and
other materials.
If you. after looking over
that last roll Of film, find
that you have fallen into one
or more Of these common
traps, then it's high time to
do something about 1t.
Frankly, too many people
start out in photography by

Fort Sumter Stamp
Is Set for April L
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
star Stamp Editor

Stet St9Aup GuAtot
A stamp will be issued
April IL to commemorate the
first military action Of the
Civil War. the bombardment
Of Fort Sumter in Charleston
harbor.
Senator Johnston of South
Carolina made the announce
ment yesterday. He said
Postmaster General J. Ed
ward Day had advised him
that the Sumter stamp. the
first approved by the new
administration, would be the
first OF q series Of five COM
rnemorating the more sig
ilificant events Of the Civil
War.
Subjects Of the other four
stamps were not announced,
but 1t is understood they will
probably commemorate the
centennials Of the battles Of
Antietam in 1862, Gettysburg
In 1853, The wilderness in
1854 and Appomattox In 1866.
April IL will be the Tooth
anniversary Of the battle
which began when Mai. Rob-
ert Anderson Of the United
States Army refused to sur
render the fort to South
Carolina forces under Con-
federate Brig. Gen. Pierre
0ustave Toutant Beauregard.
Agreement on a new re-
quest from the Civil War
Centennial Commission came
quickly last week after Sena-
tor Johnston, who is chair
man Of the Senate Post
Office and Civil Service
Committee, wrote to Post
master General Day, urging
issuance of q Sumter stamp.
The question Of philatelic
recognition Of the Civil War
observance has been under
discussion since December Of
1858. .
The Civial War Centen-
NAL Commissions first sug-
gestion was a stamp "Blue
and Gray" series developed by
Capt. M. w. Brush Of Wash
ington to recall the major
battles Of the war and the
leaders Of the opposing forces.
The proposed series was
reduced to 80 during the dis
calsSions, and the battle theme
was rejected by the old Stamp
Advisory Committee on the
grounds that any stamp is
sued for the observance should
be on q constructive theme
emphasizing unity through
sacrifice"
A proposed design for the
Sumter stamp along the lines
of the original Blue and Gray
series was submitted to the
Postmaster General by Sena-
tor Johnston.
It shows Mai. Anderson and
Gen. Beaurgard in ovals at
left and right with the battle
scene between them.
However, q different design
developed In the Post Office
Department and the Bureau
