That \ is a question which many snapshooters ask'--and, fortunately, It is a question easily answered. * There are throe general types of Him most suited for use by amateur photographers. These are ortho- •chromatic or "ortho" type film, finegrained panchromatic film, and high ap^ed panchromatic film. ' The "ortho" type film is ideally suited to rhost outdoor picture-taking. it has ample speed for outdoor shots, even with inexpensive cameras. And, moreover, it has unusual latitude in exposure--which simply means that even if you make fairly large errors in exposure, the film tends to compensate for them, and yields good pictures. Exposure latitude is obtained in the "ortho" type film by an interesting process of double coating fast film emulsion plus a slow film emulsion. This double coating extends the capacity of the film. As a result, your pictures retain detail in the shadows, even when somewhat underexposed -- and detail is also preserved in the bright parts, even with considerable overexposure Since most outdoor scenes have strong contrast--deep shadows plus brilliantly-lighted areas--the doublecoated type film Is a logical for all general outdoor shooting. The second film mentioned--the fine-grained panchromatic type--is especially suited tor taking pictures that are to be enlarged. It has excellent speed, although not the extreme sensitivity of the high speed panchromatic films. But Its main virtue is the fine, even grain, which permits big enlargements with outstanding detail and quality. The third film--the high speed panchromatic type--is the one to select for snapshots-at-night, and for daytime shots under extremely adverse light conditions. Such film is so fast that it makes box-camera snapshots easy at night, with only two amateur flood bulbs to illuminate the subject. Because of its extreme speed, it must not be used for box-camera snapshots of sunlighted subjects; but it is fine for snapshots on extremely dull, cloudy, or rainy days. So, there you are. For general outdoor shooting, "ortho" type film; for snapshots at night and on very dull days, high speed panchromatic film; and for pictures that are to be enlarged* fine-grained panchromatic film. Memorise those suggestions-- and you need never be in doubt about what film to choose.

The balance of the sheds are in such a condition that they cannot stand many more years. The new ornamental fence surrounding St. Patrick's church property is fast, nearing completion. With the summer resort season at an end and all stores and barber shops closed, McHenry presented an unusually quiet scene on Tuesday evening last. Only the drug stores, ice cream parlors and soft drink emporiums showed signs of life. E. R. McGee and J. E. Conway of Woodstock have formed a partnership and will open up a first-clasrf men's clothing and furnishing store in this village. THIRTY YEARS AGO The lumber used in the new depot was furnished by the Wilbur Lumber company of this place. F. E. Covalt, the local manager of the company, is to be congratulated upon his success in landing the contract. Work on the new residence that is being erected by N. J. Justen on West Waukegan street is progressing repjdly and will be ready for occupancy before snow flies. The William Bonslett house on West Waukegan street, formerly known as the Krause residence, is undergoing extensive improvements and when completed will present the appearance of a modern home. Peter P. Rothermel, M. D. Weber and Chas. J. Heimer drove to Soloa Spring Grove, Richmond and Twin Lakes in the latter's auto Tuesday . fOBTY YEARS AGO Butter was declared steady by the quotation committee at 20 cents although 2,400 poujnds sold at 20% cents on the board. William Stoffel will in a few days open a realjMtate office in McHenry when he wjfl list both town and country propert. Groud is broken and building will commencc at once on a new residence for Walter Evanson. Today Robert Ingalls and Robert Douglas left for Fox Lake, from where they will sail tomorrow down the Fox river as far as McHenry on the famous yacht "Oregon." FIFTY YEARS AGO Km Dr. O. J. Howard has moved his office and residence from the West Side, and now occupies a part of Lewis Waite's house, one block east of the public school. The first frost of the season in this section, made its appearance this morning. ^ Althoff Bros., are treating the Interior of their store to a new coat of paint which makes it look neat, tasty and clean. Jacob Bonslett, at his store, opposite Bishop's mill, has one of the finest stocks of Cook and Heating Stoves, to be found in the county. . . .A Vernon J.

D. 1939, at which time all persons having claims against said Estate are notified and requested to attend for the purpose of having the same adjusted. All persons indebted to said Estate are requested to make immediate payment to the undersigned. Dated this 11th day of September, A. D. 1939. EARL R. WALSH, Administrator with the Will annexed. (Published Sept. 14 - 21 - 28) WfltihingtMl Letter Washington, September 18--Harassing , questions as to what individuals ana corporations may do in event a national emergency is declared are obviously Aased on the theory or reasoning that our direct or indirect participation in world hostilities is only a matter of time. The sharp price advances in coats of foodstuffs and other commodities aa an immediate aftermath of the European war is now attributed largely to mild hysteria and profiteering. Yet it rivets public and governmental attention on domestic problems traceable to the war influence. Notwithstanding diligent efforts to restrict the proposed special session of Congress to the subject of neutrality legislation it is unlikely that the solons will stick to this subject exclusively. It is possible for the President to specify the purpose of the call to an extraordinary meeting. But he possesses no monitory power over what *<lhe national legislature may say or do once it is assembled. It is stated that this absence of power to enfofce limitation of subjects is partly responsible for Mr. Roosevelt's hesitancy in calling the lawmakers back to their official duties. While changes in conditions abroad have altered Congressional sentiment in the direction of edtly ratification of the "cash-and-carry" phase of neutrality those agencies dealing with diplomacy and statecraft are frankly worried that the unrestrained Congressional debate may hamper our foreign affairs owing to possible misconceptions of parliamentary criticism c# Administration plans. A session not later than October 15 is forecast here. The hoisting of price® in this country so early in the game may expedite price control measures originally designed for effectuation only in actual wartimes. Attorney - General Murphy and other officials are at work on the subject which would give the legislators an opportunity to "beat the gun" or putting some form <4 price stabilization into effect before we entered the war. It is considered; smart politics to rush to the defense of the people in alleged profiteering. Experiences in the World War contributed to a wave of sentiment in and out of Congress toward "taking j the profit out of war." Even the zealots concede this never can be realized in its entirely, but it makes good political talk. A survey of hearings conducted by Congressional committees and other agencies over a period of years reveals that all factions recognize the enormous difficulties of effective Federal price controls. There is well-defined feeling for the maintenance of the profit incentive in all business by sonp^e scheme to regulate the return 05, investment to a reasonable and fair percentage. Considerable support has developed for a proposal urged by Bernard Baruch, head of the War Industries Committee in 1917-1918 who in recent years has urged a limitation of profits to prevent the destruction of domestic morale through bitter resentment of soldiers and their families toward civilians in war-time. It is cogently argued that by keeping prices down it would cost less 10 run a war. Some constitutional experts challenge the power of Congress to fix prices without an amendment to the Constitution contending it is a violation of the "due process" clause.. The Attorney-General rendered an opinion to the War Policies Commission in 1932 holding that Congress did have the power and that the courts would not be empowered to review the reasonableness of prices so fixed. Another devise for eliminating profiteering and speculation is a drastic tax law which is in a, ready stage. The psychology bSck of curtailment of profit is to make war unpopular to those ineligible for military or naval service. The resaoning is aptly summarized by former Secretary of War Hurley who as chairman of Hoover's War Policy Commission in 1931 stated: "It is unjust and unpatriotic to require one man to die in defense of his nation while another is reaping tremendous profits from his war activity." Revival of business due to the European war is expected to wean many reliefers from the Federal rolls. However, the agencies are worried over the drain brought about by increased prices for certain commodities, especially food. Marked price increases diminishes the purchasing power of relief checks. The Administration has hinted that they will not countenamV loafing at th»- government's expense By CHARLES B. ROTH WHO GETS THE PROFIT? WILLIAM WRIGLEY JR., a great business man and sound thinker, refused to buy any ef tit* raw materials he used in his business unless the man who sold them made his legitimate profit. For anyone in a business transaction to lose, thought Mr. Wrigley. was qot only unsound. It was an immoral proceeding. Often he gavs sellers more than they asked, because he was convinced they were selling without a profit. Mr. Wrigley mi absolutely right in his deduction. There is no doubt of that. In this life there is no profit which is boUfght at the expense of others. One of the many advantages of advertising is that it yields substantial profits to everyone it touches. Consider what these are. Ton are a consumer. Yon exige year hard-earned dollars for teone's merchandise or service becanse yon are convinced that this merchandise or service is worth more to yon than your dollar. Yon. profit by the use of what yon have bought. The merchant who sold you likewise profits by the advertising which brought you into his store. He profits by the sale he made. Charles Roth The manufacturer who turned out the goods from his factory and advertised them also made a profit an your purchase, a profit whfch he turned right around and invested in more raw materials or in bet* tar machinery, that he might make more goods for customers like you who would profit by owning them. And then consider all the employees of this manufacturer, this merchant and the persons who created the advertising. All earned a profit. In their case R was a profit of wages. Your purchase helped keep them busy, and the money they earned put others to work, creating raw materials, waiting on customers behind counters and setting type. In New York city there is a man named W. S. Townsend, not a longhaired economic prophet* but • hard-headed millionaire business man with a big,idea. Bis Mg idea: That business, If It wenld spend six billion dollars for advertising, eou^l restore American porehasing-power to snch heights as it never Jmew and bring prosperity to everyone in the country. Re-read the profit cycle of advertising in this short editorial and you will see that his idea is sound. Whenever an advertisement appears it is a profit symbol for a long train of men and women, all the way from the farmer in the field or the miner in the mine, to the ultimate consumer. u All profit. • Charles B.

DIOGENES NEVER LOOKft FOR AN HONEST HAH WITH HIS LANTERN & % The popular story about Diogenes, the Greek cynic, going about with a lantern looking for an honest man, is only a fictitious idea.
