faster than the old hand sort

about IA per cent Of the enve-
lopes fed into the machines.
The difficulty Is that the op-
teal contrast scanners which
activate the cancelers can
miss a light colored stamp or
mistake a dark area on the
envelope for a stamp.
However, stamps can be
given a coating of a lumines-
cent phosphor which can be
made to glow when excited by
a specific wave length Of ul-
tra-violet light. Such a stamp
should activate the canceler
every time, and nothing else
on the envelope should trip it.
In the first phase of the lu-
minescent program, inau-
gurated August 1 at Dayton,

which glowed a brilliant or

The cent was to be Of pure

Originally the Senate version
of the act stated that the
portrait Of the President
would appear on all coins.
The House objected and In

Mrs. Wheeler seems to have

to have gotten away with her
defiance.
For years she developed
her Tri-X film in Rodinal, a
high energy developer which
usually produces extreme
grain when used with fast,
thick emulsion films.
But even when a portion Of
one Of her negatives is blown
up to make a 16-by-2O print,
there is no Objectionable
grain.
In recent months, Mrs.
Wheeler has changed to Dia-
fine, a two-bath developer
which gives her a film speed
rating Of ASA 1000. She has
found that the developer slows
down some after use, but
thinks she will continue using
it for the extra speed it gives
her.
"Some Of the pictures I
make just couldn't be made
without the extra speed that
Diafine gives" she said.

What does it take to pro-
duce a camera portrait? A
camera, off, course, and film
and light and a subject. But
there is something else, II the
portrait is to be a good one
= one above and beyond the
simple family snapshot-and
that is imagination or feeling.
This, Mrs. Grayce Wheeler
has shown to a great degree
in portraits of members Of
her family. It is true that Mrs.
- Wheeler has good subjects,
but one has the feeling that
any sitter would be enhanced
by Mrs. Wheeler's camera.
. Mrs. Wheeler likes to work
In low key. There is the visit

back deep In shadows. And

She works with a Rolleiflex
camera purchased in Germany

raphy, and she enlarges her

prints. These she mounts,
