During the Civil War most
of the paper money issued
by the State of Texas was
in the form of civil or
military warrants.
These State Treasury war
rants were issued to persons
having claims against the
State for military or civil
service.
Printed forms in a number
of types and varieties were
completed by hand with the
name of the payee, the date,
and the specific legislative
authorization and were
signed by the State controller.
Their use was authorized
under some % acts and
dates of issue range from
FeDrudry s, 1861, TO NoVem-
ber Is. 1864. Appropria-
tionS are numbered from l
to 119 and given a letter,
either Q, P, @, R or s, Often
when a form was not avail
able in the correct denomina-
ton the word civil" was
substituted for military" or
vice versa.

Most underwater pictures
will appear greenish or blush
as the red in the spectrum
is absorbed by the water, so a
filter should be used to re-

Many thousands of dollars
worth of film is wasted in
the name of photography
every day of the year-espe-
cially during the height of
the summer season. This is
usually caused by failure to
observe the simplest rules.
So here are a few down-to-
earth tips to help you make
better snapshots.
It's imperative that q
cameras lens be clean. Dirty
lenses take foggy, blurry pic
lures. Check the lens. Give it
a careful cleaning if needed.
Watch the light. With SIM
pie cameras, use color films
only in sunlight or with
flash. With adjustable cam
eras, check the film instruc-
tion sheet for correct set
tings. And if you are using
an automatic camera, be sure
to set the right film speed
number, which is listed on
the instruction sheet.
Squeeze the Shutter
Hold. the camera steady,
and s-q-u-e-e-Z-e the shutter
release gently to avoid a
jittery camera and blurred
pictures. Never punch the
shutter release.
Get close to your subject.
For most pictures of people,
try standing 6 to 10 feet
away. If the camera has ad-
Unstable focusing, try getting
even closer.
Watch the background.
Keep it simple and unclut-
tered. The sky, a plain wall
or a stretch of green lawn
will make a good background.
Tins About Movies
If you are planning to
shoot movies you might well
follow these suggestions:
If your camera isn't auto
matte, set the lens opening
according to an exposure
guide, light meter or instruc-
ton sheet. Don't guess. Good
exposure can make all the
difference in the world.
Hold the camera steady.
Your subject, not the cam
era, should move. Save PAN
ming (moving the camera
horizontally for following
moving subjects. zoom SPAR
ingly and slowly if your
camera has a zoom lens.
Make your scenes long
enough - in general, they
Should average about 10
seconds.
Keep Pictures Simple
A more basic piece of adj
vice is to keep the picture
simple. A simple statement
of fact, whether orally or
usually, is often the most
persuasive. Straightforward
arrangements attract the eye
because they express their
contents quickly. Thus, in
pictures of people or things,
simplicity is a true virtue.
And remember, too. the
lines of action. Horizontal
lines communicate rest. They
are the man stretched out
on the beach, asleep on his
back, or the horizon of a
quiet meadow.
Diagonal lines stimulate
