Watch for situations that involve suspense--or create the situations yourself -- and you'll find a sure route to effective pictures. A situation doesn't have to be complicated or out of the ordinary. In fact, everyday situations are usually better. A shot of the cat . watching the canary--a man blowing up a toy balloon--somebody building a house of cards--all these are good, and you can think of many others. Such pictures are interesting be- -- cause you can see the "trouble ahead" signal. You anticipate the moment when the balloon will burst, or the house of cards will 4 topple. And, for picture purposes, the anticipation is often better than the actual event Of course, it's a shame to waste a really good "suspense" idea on just one picture. To get the fuli force and flavor of the situation, ' make a series. Build up the sus- • pense, picture by picture--then relieve it. by showing what finally ; happens. ^ ^Ffer example. take that house-of- Washington, August 21 -- So many loose statements are bandied about in Congressional debate and in administrative circles that it is hard to make heads or tails of current talk. Conversations turn to the implications of the Willkie acceptance speech on policy- making, the possible involvement in war through transfer of so-called obsolete destroyers and other aid or exchange of British islands in the West Indies and, of course, the scope and effective date of compulsory military training. The legislators are troubled about all these matters with an added dash of concern over their re-election chances. The latter element of job-protection accounts for the shuttle trips from official posts to home campaign headquarters. Some of the legislators, particularly those from agricultural districts, are chafing under the restraints of the leaders. Representative Hill, from Washington, has protested that not enough business is transacted in the House. He complained about the series of three-day recesses which pre eludes a reasonable time for debate on subjects of interest to his constituents. It is Hill's contention that House leaders shut off debate on vital subjects so that the membership is nothing more than a rubber stamp body following the dictates of the chieftains Some of the concern of the lawmakers over what the voters may think of compulsory military training is traceable to the fact that several million voters are eligible this year. The draft would yhit large numbers of first voters who have reached their majority since the last election. These newcomers to the ranks of ballot casters have not been accustomed to questions of party regularity. Illustrative of the jpterest manifested in this latest crop of eligible voters is the speech made a few days ago by Representative Keogh, Democrat of New York, in which he admitted "politically, our young people may be quizzical and anxious to be informed." The New York congressman urged his fellow party workers to cultivate the incoming voters. "We must begin to seek them out," he said, "to listen to them and prove to them." In other words, party wheel-horses in voting districts find it difficult to tag the thinking of the youngsters in estimating partj strength. There are conflicting estimates as, to the number of men required to reg ister under the proposed registration legislation. One estimate from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that 11,300.000 between the ages of 21 and 31 will be booked. The legislators are bending over backward In an effort to protect the trainees inducted into the military service. The principles written into the National Guard bill will probably be adopted in the com pulsory training measure. One pur pose of the moratorium item is to protect those forced into military camps from a wave of repossessions of property purchased by installment buying in addition to relief from Fed eral and local taxes, insurance, rents and mortgages during the time these young men are serving Uncle Sam. The theory back of the Civil Rights Bill of 1917 is followed in these gen eral relief provisions. Debts incurred by trainees will not be wiped out, but the inducted men will be given a rea^ sonable time after their term of ser vice expires before they are required to resume payments. Some of these debts will carry a fixed interest rate for such outstanding obligations as taxes and insurance. The question of protecting draftees from purchased articles under the installment credit plan is somewhat new as this financing system was developed subsequent to the World War. The figures com piled from government sources indi cate that outstanding installment paper now amounts to four billion dol lars. While the talk in Congress has largely been centered on conscription and preparedness taxes, the lawmakers have devoted some time to other matters. It seems that the Senate Labor Committee is just going through the motions of considering the amendments to the National Labor Realtions Board, which were overwhelmingly passed by the House several weeks ago. The story is told that it Is a parliamentary gesture to block revision of the controversial Labor Board at this tirrte. The effort to pass the Walter's bill placing a curb on the bureaucratic powers of government agencies seems destined for defeat at this session. Senator Wagner, Democrat of New York, has introduced a bill to extend th benefits of the Social Security Act to practically all classes of citizens. It is not intended that the measure should be enacted now but serve as a base for studies during, the fall and winter months. The Wagner plan would cover under old-age and survlv« ors' insurance all agricultural and domestic workers, employees of State and local governments, non-civil-service employees of the Federal Government, and employees of non-profit, religious, charitable and educational institutions, except ordained ministers and members of religious orders performing their duties in such orders. These amendments extend the old-age insurance protection of the law to approximately 10,000,000 additional persons. According to the New York solon the only excluded occupations, other than self-employment, would be some in which earnings are negligible and in which the employee ifl spending only a little time.

Research of the U. S. department of agriculture has recently demonstrated that ants must be classed with snails, earthworms, beetles, slugs and flies as intermediate hosts of one our more varieties of poultry tapeworms. Other threats to poultry health include the following: Grasshoppers, which harbor many poultry parasites, including the gizzard worm and the strawberry worm that infests the chickens' stomach. ^ Black flies, carriers of a malarialike disease of turkeys. Louse flies, which transmit pigeon malaria. Mosquitoes, carriers of fowl pox. Cockroaches, intermediate host of the parasitic Manson's Eye Worm, which causes widespread loss of poultry in semi-tropical areas. Ticks, which cause spirochaetosis, a serious blood disease, and piroplasmosis, a disease which kills chickens by destroying their red blood cells. To eliminate or lessen these threats to poultry, the following is suggested: 1. Treat poultry for body lice, and treat roosts and other hiding places for mites. 2. Prevent accumulation of trash that harbors intermediate hosts of parasites. 3. Rotate ranges and mow frequently; this will reduce hiding places for insects. 4. Use insect-proof manure storage or apply acid phosphate to stored manure. Hubbell's and Brady's. , Mrs. Wkn. Mason of Chicago and Mrsf. Jeannie Klabough has returned to C. H.

Members of 4-H Clubs Desire Higher Education Membership in 4-H clubs stimulates ambition for higher education in the agriculture and homeeconomics fields, and this trend is increasing, the federal extension service maintains, on the basis of a survey of the students in the Mr. and Mrs. John Blomgren were agricultural colleges ofj the central , among the guests who enjoyed dinner SLOCUM'S LAKE states A first survey of this type in 1927- 28 revealed that 751, or 18.5 per cent of the students had been members of 4-H clubs. This year the 6,934 former club merpbers who are attending these colleges comprise more than 37 per cent of the enrollment in agriculture and home economics. In Illinois almost exactly one-half the students are former club members, and in Indiana, Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa club members comprise more than 40 per cent of the students. "It is evident," says the extension service, "that the 4-H club movement is fostering in members a desire to obtain additional scholastic training and is directing an increasing number toward the agricultural colleges." 25 Per Cent of Farms Have Electric Service Approximately one farm in every four now has high line electric service, while only one farm out of every nine had electricity in 1935. A total of 1,700,000 farms now have electricity, according to the estimate recently made by the Rural Electrification administration,"~as compared with 743,954 in 1935. The^ REA has brought electricity to a total of 400,000 farms since its inception in 1935. More than half of these farms, or 225,000, were connected up in 1939. when the agency received $140,000,000. It had previously been geared to a $40,000,000- a-year program, and this year it is again being cut to the 40 million level. Percentage of U.
