Bounties were paid for their extermination.

Watch for such patterns -they yield fascinating pictures. EVERYBODY likes u Interesting pattern--and there is an endless variety of patterns you can capture with your camera, if yon watch for them. Wherever light shines through something--such as an ornamental window, or railing--there may be a pattern of light and shadow, if shadows repeat the lines of some decorative ironwork, or the outline of a statue or fountain, opportunity exists for a picture. Observe such shadows -- choose a position to show both the shadow and the object that creates it--and you'll usually get an interesting shot Whenever a number of similar objects are placed together, in a regular arrangement, you'll find patterns. A large tray of apples or oranges in front of the grocery store--stacks of crates or baskets at the market--piles of timber in a lumber yard--all these may yield good pattern effects that invite the attention of your camera. Shoot a scene through an on* mental fence or window grille--and you have another type of pattern picture. The best type of grille la fairly open, so that it does not cat off too much of the scene. Ekpoaa for the distant parts of the view, and do not try to obtain detail in the grille--it is more effective If It appears as a dark outline. In all these pattern pictures, MS as small a lens opening as you can* so as to get a deeper zone of sharp* ness. If your lens will "stop down1* to a very small opening--such aa f/22--choose a high speed film for pattern shots and take advantage of the small lens opening. Whenever you're outdoors on ^ sunny day, watch for pattern picture opportunities. Look for patterns indoors, too. Natural pattern effects occur everywhere--and pictures of them will lend variety to year collection. Sgfg$$ John van Guilder, Washington, September 22 -- Despite the latest trend of the famous Gallup poll favoring the election of Mr. Roosevelt, the experienced campaigners in both political camps are of the opinion that the Presidential race is still at the uncertain stage. Their reasoning is based on the knowledge that many things may happen in six weeks to reverse the sentiment indicated in the relatively small sampling of the professional interviewers. Another sign that the? public opinion analysts believe it is too early to make definite predictions is seen in the scarcity of betting money. While the Gallup poll results are discouraging to the Republicans, rei turns from other tests of voters' intentions are much brighter for them. It is generally admitted that the intense cultivation of the smaller cities and towns and the rural districts will be to the advantage of the present minority party. The Democratic strength is largely in the metropolitan areas, particularly those with dominant party organizations like Chicago, New York City and Jersey City, all Administration strongholds. The sudden burst of confidence displayed by the radical wing of the New Deal around Washington piques the interest of the anti-Roosevelt groups. A few weeks ago these '.inner circle" boys were planning to retire to private life before being turned out. Now that they are working quietly on plarfs for further reforms is alarming .to some G. O. P. observers. The "Brainstrust" is developing ideas for a "borrowing to spend" program With national defense as the theme song. Meanwhile, Congress is floundering over tax policies and adjournment. An increase in the number of persons on WPA payrolls at this particular session raises the question of political considerations. Howard O. Hunter, Acting WPA Commissioner, told the Conference of Mayors a day or two ago that the increase "is not political." The politicians, however, think otherwise and the Republicans contend that the Democrats are using this method as a device to win the election. The charge is also mad^ by the G. O. P. that the WPA is sending money into certain strategic political areas ostensibly for defense projects, but in reality to bolster waning Democratic voting strength. * The WPA official admitted that they are encountering resistance from the Army and Navy in obtaining certificates of necessity for projects in certain states and cities. Commissioner Hunter informed the mayors that "many of the WPA defense projects can be, and will be, carried out under the regular sponsors' contributions and non-labor limitations, and for that reason will not need to be certified by the Army or Navy." The flow of money to areas frowned upon by the military authorities is apparently the political response to clamor for defense projects. The demand is partially met through tagiging non-essential WPA projects with the defense label in order to justify the expenditure.' Due to the fact that Congress la anxious to get away it is not likely that any uproar will be heard before the elections. It is generally recognized that the relief projects were capitalized heavily by the Democrats in 1936 and 1938 and there is no reason to believe this political asset will been neglected in the current campaign. WPA officials are finding their way around the certificate requirement from the military authorities by concentrating on airports, roads and highways. Criticism from private employers having national defense contracts of a vital nature against the policy of the WPA in keeping reliefers on the government payroll when their services are needed elsewhere has this Federal agency on the defensive. At present there about one million seven hundred thousand on the WPA. The Administration claims that WPA workers would not accept private jobs are true in only one per cent of the cases involved. With contracts for critical military and naval items let, which calf for an expenditure of billions of dollars, some concern is felt in official quarters and in private industry as to the possible effect of living costs for the ordinary civilian. The Defense Commission has held a series of conferences with representatives of retail organizations and worked out a co-operative plan to prevent undue price increases. They have in mind the lesson provided in the last war when uncontrolled spiiw aling of prices antagonized the citizens and caused great distress. Hie excess profits tax measure is designed to discourage price boosters and profiteering. The National Defense Commission admits that their difficulty is not with the rank and file of manufacturers and merchants but with the unscrupulous fringe which endeavors to scare people into making abnormal purchases at this time. The Commission is taking all steps within its power to control these promoters of hysterical buying. It is stated that no shortages exist at present which warrant marked increases in prices in wearing apparel or foodstuffs. Oxfords in Oxford Oxfords or low shoes undoubtedly received that name because this footwear was first made and worn in Oxford, England, during the Seventeenth century.

The greater size and roominess of the new models, as well as their sleek new beauty, are apparent in the Special De Luxe Sport Sedan, shown above. At (2) is shown the spacious interior of the same model's tear compartment, and at (3) is its front compartment, showing two-spoke steering wheel with horn-blowing ring, new sliding-type sua visors, and smartly re-styled dash. One of the major changes is substitution of concealed safety-steps (4) for the running boards of other years, aa improvement adding to the car's beauty without sacrifice of the safety and convenience which running boards provide. At (5) is the six-cylinder Chevrolet valve-in-head engine for 1941, in which many refinements have been made. Horsepower is increased from 85 to90 without affecting economy; and cooling, lubrication and carburetion are all improved.
