Fast action subjects, of oouraa, call for a fast shuttei^ but others can be snapped with any camera. 'T'HIS past winter, no doubt, yoa made silhouette shots Indoors, with a bed-sheet stretched over s doorway and yonr photo lights behind it. Bat don't forget that yoa can also make silhouettes outdoors --end these are attractive too. The trick Is simply to have the sun or brightest sky beyond your subject. Instead of In front, and show your subject against a bright sky background. Then you underexpose. For example. If the normal exposure would be 1/26 second at t/11 lena opening, yoa would ase 1/25 second at t/tt to get the silhouette effect. With a box camera, you would take a snapshot as usual, but first you would set the lens for the < possible opening. Most JJgular box cameraa have a little laMsr or slide which enables you to to this. The proper film is the "ckwa«' type, because it Is a bit •tfwrar than "pan" Aim la late atand that ts Jut ^what yon «|i| Ala cam flMM Is one potat oa which yea must be careful. Don't allow direct rays of the son to enter your lens* Ton can avoid this by having a tree or some other object between the camera and the son. Sometimes you can conceal the sun squarely behind your subject, and that la an excellent arrangement tor good silhouette effects. To show the subject against the sky, you just select a. low camera position--down close to the ground. This. In effect, raises the subject higher. Such a camera position was used to take the picture above. Of course, an action picture like this calls for a fast shutter--say 1-/400 second, with the lens set at t/S, However, there are hundreds of outdoor subjects that can be pio> tured "in silhouette" even with the most Inexpensive cameras. Water scenes, profile shots of people, buildings against the sunset sky-- these are good examples. And a IQ> houette shot always has a aeafc. decorative quality that malrss fit welcome in your album. y-ii ' , John van Guilder M*s Leslie Darts aad Marion, of MiwilV lab eaBad at the hone of Mrs. iPearl Do well Tuesday.

The Soldier* Can't _ .Hieir Opinions The War Department recently announced that it would no longer permit our soldiers to frnfttafoat# with other citizens in the various "Spoil*" which &re heingr taken throughout the nation to sample opinion. Well Informed Capital sources say that the real reason behind the War Department ban is the fact that recent polls taken among the members of our armed forces disclose that an overwhelming majority in the Army are opposed to our participation in the war across the oeean. They Most Slay "Put" The President recently issued aa Executive Order which will have the effect of preventing the different government agencies from raiding the personnel of other federal agencies, and which will practically freeze all present federal employees into the jobs which they are now occupying. The Order will prevent government workers from taking Civil Service examinations for other positions in the federal service unless they have obtained the consent of the Department head where they are presently employed. The Executive Order specifies that the Department head in granting to one of the federal employees under their supervision permission to participate in an examination for some other federal job, must find that the person to whom such permission is granted will be more valuable to the government in the new capacity than he or she 'was in Ilia old one. Gasless Sundays hi the Offfng? Secretary of the Interior Ickes recently advocated that Daylight Saving Time be put on a nation-wide basis as one means of meeting what he deemed a "power shortage" in the national defense program. The Secretary further suggested that it may be necessary to institute "gasless" Sundays. to meet the shortage of oil which has been occasioned by the transfer of la lar^e part of the American tanker fleet to British service. Hie Army Hasn't Heard About It Yet It is rumored that the faces of defense officials recently turned to a very bright red when, after putting on a campaign urging the American public to buy substitutes for aluminum wherever possible in order that the aluminum supply might be diverted to defense uses, especially tike building of airplanes, they discovered that included among recent Army contracts were those for thousands of ahmmium pots, coffee filters, water nitchers, and other aluminum utemdls. It was estimated that this would be enough aluminum to manufacture a couple of large bombers. It looks a* though the OPM officials aad the Chief of Air Corps forgot to tell the Quartermaster General that there is an ahnaintim shortage. ^ . , . - :.
