Try different lighting effects with a subject tuih as this. Use the diagrams below as guides in plsclng your photo lights. HALF the Ion of taking snapshots at night is in -working out novel lighting effects. You don't need a h>t of lighting equipment, either. Two photo bulbs in cardboard reflectors, and a light-toned wall for a background -- these enable you to evolve numerous interesting lightings that add value to your pictures. The diagrams below Show how you change the position of your lights to obtain different effects. 8 stands for subject, C for camera, and B for background. The number 1 indicates a No. 1 photo bulb in cardboard reflector, and 2 indicates a No. S bulb. These two bulbs, whea la reflectors, are sufficient for box-camera snapshots on high speed film. At left, first row, ia the regular . i- 4S-degree lighting. Center, a more dramatic effect, with one Mght directed on the background. Right, a still more striking effect, with a light on the subject from either side. Second row, left, a silhouette effect, with one light behind the subject and turned toward the wall. Center, backlighting, with a light to the right behind the subject. Note shield "X" which keeps light from shining into the camera lens. At right, "halo" lighting, with one light behind the subject, ahinlng through the hair. In taking these shots, keep the llghta the right distance from the subject, and don't let them shins into the camera lens. You shonld then get good pictures--and yonH find that careful arrangement of lights will make tfcHh mors Intensely Interesting. J(din van Guilder B \ i Oc z. i ® B cO ^ B Woman KiDs Her Hinband Despite Of Love for Him Fifteen Year* of Brutality : • - , Too Much for Mother Of Four Boys^ t >0^2. Oc Oc B AKRON, OHIO.--"I'm sorry," said the soft-spoken middle-aged mother as she showed policemen the body of her husband. "I loved this man, but I had to do it." Fifteen years of brutality, according to that dry-eyed woman, obliged her to shoot H. Sherman Hubbard, 44 years old, of Akron, Ohio, for whom a street there was named, superintendent of the Davis Laundry and Cleaning company. Six weeks before, fear of what he might do prompted Mrs. Maud Hubbard, 42 years old, mother of four boys, to purchase a revolver, she told the squad car crew which answered her telephone summons. That summons itself was something of a jolt to the police radio dispatcher. She Notifies Police. "3 just shot my husband," said a clear, calm voice. •Taken aback, the dispatcher could .only inquire: ••"••'"V vl.^ "Is he dead?** ' "He's dead, all right," the voice replied, giving the name and address. Later it developed that,- although the shooting occurred at about 7 a. m., Mrs. Hubbard did not call police -until 7:40. In the meantime she had phoned her sister, Mrs. Ada Stull, in Cleveland. At the police station she elaborated on the difficulties that had led to the tragedy. Her husband had treated her brutally for years, she said. He had threatened her life and had been going with other women, she declared. "My husband constantly threw the other woman up to me in the last two years," asserted Mrs. Hubbard. "Just yesterday he said to me, *Why don't you go out and get a sugar daddy for yourself, too?' "I asked him, 'What has she ever done for you?' meaning the other woman. 'She didn't bear your children, did she?' I said. I really felt as if he was out of his mind during those last two years--he acted so strangely. 'A Mighty Good Mother.' "I was clean and good and kind when he was nasty," she added. The Hubbards had been married for 23 years. Their four sons are Donald, 21; Robert, 20; Russell, 19; and Randall, 11. Mrs. Hubbard's first tears at the police station came when the youngest boy, Randall, told officers, "She's a mighty good mother." His father always started the disputes, he said. Mrs. Hubbard said that her husband started leaving her for days at a time just before Randall was born. Earlier, however, he had sometimes been cruel, she maintained. "He had an ungovernable temper," she said. "When Bobby was only five he hit him 10 times with a lath that had a nail in it." Mrs. Hubbard said her husband frequently had threatened to kill her. Once, she declared, he threatened to kill their son Russell for installing a hot water pip* in the bathtub. vx . Questioned about her gun, she said she bought it six weeks ago at a loan company's shop. She felt that she needed it for protection ' he was away so much. mgton Washington, January 17--It is sad but true that everything the government agencies, legislative and administrative, do nowadays is subjected t« the closest scrutiny to measure its probable impact on the forthcoming general election. These mental searches extend from simple and jocular remarks of the President to the conversations of a minor bureaucrat. It is a reaction which indicates thft people's sensitiveness to the game of politics. Now that the Supreme Court has been divested of some of its sacrosanct character the inquiry as to political motives is extended to the judiciary. Life in Washington is dominated by a question mark. The appearance of Secretary of State Hull on Capitol Hill on behalf of the trade agreements plan stressed the importance of this subject as a partisan issue. The debate which marked the passage of the anti-lynchfng bill in the House emphasized the political elements. The subject will be revived when the Senate settles down to what is considered a filibuster by Southern Senators to prevent its approval. The numerous bills introduced for the relief of the farmers indicate a strong desire by representatives of both parties to woo the farm vote. In fact, the word has been passed to play down the social aspects of labor laws, which are pressing for consideration and revision and feature the politician's concern in the welfare of the agriculturist. Committees are at their wit's end trying to evolve an appropriation policy which will carry out the mandates of Congress, and at the same time indicate a retrenchment in pubic expenditures. Juggling figures and policies is a different stunt for adroit vote-getters. With organized farmers and some industrial groups pressing for amendments to the Wage and Hour Act, the Administration is speeding up enforcement in all sections of the country. The Labor Department intends to fight amendments which Would exempt other clases from the law, but the advocates of change are counting heavily on the inferences of an election season. The statute has never been seriously challenged in the courts. It is likely lecal tests will soon be instituted to determine the force of the regulations and interpretations sent out by the Wage and Hoot Administrator. * One of the recurring questions concerns the future of the Temporary •National Economic Committee, which has been playing high wide and handsome for many months. The future of the committee jointly representing Congress and administrative agencies is uncertain as their funds are about exhausted. Some legislators feel that this investigating body has cut across the jurisdiction of regular Congressional committees and thus monopolized the spotlight to the detriment of other politicians. All sorts of economic and political views are represented in the TNEC which bodes ill for any unanimity in recommendations for legislation. Staff employees have made exhaustive studies of the economic and social policies of all governmental agencies and have a twenty volume report under preparation. This week they are probing into the cartel system which has been used overseas to promote trade but never popularised in this country largely because Of the inhibitions of anti-trust laws. The prospect for the Federal government to embark on a career as a salesman for low-cost insurance: has been increased with a proposal by Senator Wagner of New York. The Senator failed to reach first base with his earlier scheme of a public health program which would cost hundreds of millions and now turns to this latest experiment in what is called "social" legislation. The intrusion of the central government in the insurance field will Dlav havoc with existing setups in which private insurance comnanies nave 64 million policv-holders It is doubtful that Congress would willingly take the political risks by substituting government insurance for those now in force and become a direct competitor. The definite pronosal submitted by Wagner has shocked the entire business world. Billions of dollars from insurance companies are now invested in basic industrial enterprises which might be seriously undermined by Uncle Sam peddling insurance. Because the mail-boxes of all eligible voters will be cluttered up with pamphlets and whatnots from Congressional sources as part of the reelection propaganda it is interesting to note just how much is paid out of the legislator's pocket and from the public till. The annual report of the U. S. Public Printer issued a few days ago shows that members of Congress paid $60,488 for reprints of their speeches and $20,338 for documents, reports, etc. However, the charges for documents, which they sent out at the taxpayer's expense, made this $80,000 look like small change. Total Congressional printing cost $2,700,000 which did not include folding room labor or postage or documents ordered from government departments. The repeort says, "The increase in the number of copies of the various classes of work printed in 1939 over 1938 was 75,108,635. The total charges for this work in 1939 amounted to $18,238,045.10, as compared with $17,- 959,316.06 in 1938." Propaganda from government sources is always expensive.

Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor, presiding at the desk, couldn't understand why she cried. Mrs. B. C. Edes, who relieved her, couldn't understand her own tears. The librarian, Marie Brown, with tears flowing freely, decided to investigate. Then they found the cause. Tear gas was found concealed in a book. The book had been returned from a Conneaut theater and apparently had been in a safe, from which the gas* had escaped during a recent robbery attempt. The book received an airing.

When two soldiers attached to Fort Ethan Al^en pleaded guilty to a breach of the p^ace charge arising from a fight over a girl* Judge Grout asked: "Was it a good fight?" "Yes, your honor," replied one of the soldiers. He imposed a fine of $5 each and remarked: "It it had been a poor fight, the fine would have been $15 each." \ What Is Wrong With Her Washing Machine?
