Humorous pictures--such as a series of a man eating a squirty grapefruit -^provide fun at a snapshot party. Arrange such a party for your fellewr camera fans. 'tVfy, WHENEVER snapshooters get together, the season is ripe then for a snapshot party. Such a party is a splendid entertainment idea -- •whether its intention is serious picture- taking or just plain snapshot fun. The party can take two forms. Guests can be sent out on a "picturehunt"-- each one assigned to bring back snapshots of a certain type. Or, a room can be«fltted up with a few phbto lights at the host's home, and each guest given a picture idea to illustrate. 4 Guests ehouVd be told to bring their cameras, loaded with suitable Aim. Since most parties will be held At night, the preferred film is one of the new high speed "super type. The host should also obtain a few simple exposure guides, to assist guests who have not had much j experience in taking night pictures. For a picture hunt, one guest can be assigned to picture street scenes; another can picture shop windows, and another can take snaps of electric signs.

Though if any of the guests have ultra-fast-lens cameras, give them stiffer assignments. -- - For an "at home" party, a list of picture-titles should be prepared. Humorous titles or assignments are preferable, and guests can serve as models for each picture. One person could be assigned to picture a characterization of Napoleon. Another could picture an Indian climbing a mountain, and a third might be told to portray a dachshund viewing a skyscraper. The more outlandish the titles, the more room they leave for the picture-taker's imagination-- and the more fun he will have arranging his picture. Properly, s$»pshot parties should be planned as a series--each member of a group holdiiig one. T^en, pictures taken at one party could be exhibited at the next. Such a party series can provide entertainment all season for a group of camera fans--and lt would be a delightful project for a camera club. John van Guilder.

The water is too cold for swimming at this seasn of thie year and our advice is "Go Slow!" Don't think from this that we are against winter sport. An hour passed outdoors in skating or coasting is worth a week of indoor play, but use your heads for something besides a hatrack. Study winter play. Learn what is safe and what is not, and if there is any question in your minds, don't chance it. It is much better to have people say, "There he goes," than "Doesn't he look natural?" S. H.

How 'Uncle Sam' Started During the War of 1812 the government contracted with a certain Elbert Anderson to provision troops, and the casks of beef from his" firm were stamped with the letters "U. S." A jovial inspector, Samuel Wilson, was known as Uncle Sam, and when questioned about the letters "E. A.--U. S." on the goods replied that they meant "Elbert Anderson and Uncle Sam." The story was given wicte circulation and "U. S." soon came to mean "Uncle Sam." The first newspaper cartoon of Uncle Sam appeared in the New York Lantern on March 13, 1852, Bellew being the artist. jSttl MONEY TO LOAN I have clients who have money to lend on first mortgages on real estate and others who want to borrow money on real estate.
