Well, if you're like most - of -us, you've probably thought, "They're for the experts and the specialists--not for casual ^Sunday snapshooters like us!" But that's where you're wrong --because still-life .pictures are within camera range of everybody who can focus accurately and make time exposures. You need n6' more complicated equipment than a simple box camera, ordinary home lights or photofloods, tod--of course--ta. good eye for interesting objects: Yes, in still-life photography, i. f the "eyes" really have it! For the idea underlying effective stilllifes is first to choose pictorial _ elements that are interesting in themselves arid then to arrange fhem ih a composition that's pleasing to the eye. And you'll be surprised to see how very simpleQelements can create striking effects, achieving beauty just through the pattern of shapes and textures or in the interplay of ^shadow and substance. We personally feel a few stilllifeg belong in every picturetaker's repertory--and in his album, too. For you can't shoot even a single still life without learning much about lighting and arrangement that will prove invaluable to you in all your other snapshooting. Remember, any grouping of objects can be made to serve your purpose--and the simpler the "props" th$ better. A willow-ware bowl, some glossy apples, a plate and a paring knife arranged on a checked tablecloth -- a collection of Dad's pipes and tobacco or Sister's record player and album covers--a bouquet of salad greens teamed with cruet, herbs and spices^--the top of Mother's sewing machine spilling over with fabrics, ribbons and spools of thread--any of these can yield a handsome composition either in color or black-and-white. Still life arrangements are bounded only by the limits of your own imagination and willingness to experiment. Try an interestingly lighted view of little Kathy's ballet slippers, a music box and a tiny figurine--or give fancy a whirl with a composition that highlights bell, book and candle as its theme. --John Van Guilder VACATION STATE Illinois; four years ago standing dctoft in eleventh place among states as regards vacation land popularity, climbed to a virtual tie for fourth place in 1956.

Cattle are sometimes like kids in ' a sandpile--the/rb likely to eat almost anything - they come across. And when they do, livestock owners, like parents, fiijd that it is no laughing matter. Dr. R. M. Thomas of the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine says "hardware disease" sometimes occurs when cattle swallow/ foffel^n objects with their feed. These objects may be. nails and wire found- around barnyards or mixed with feed as a result of carelessness in handing construction materials or dispbging of bail* ing wire. .•<- '. -.' -y & Dr. Thomas explains that often little or no trouble occurs when cOws, swallow the$e ihjprp objects. But in certain cases, especiallyHf the cow is pregnant or on a heavy hay diet, there may hie.. enough pressure in the stomach to force the sharp objects into the heart, livor or lungs, causing an infected wound. Hardware disease can be fatal. But usually the heaviest losses from the disease come from a rundown condition of the animal caused by chronic infection. Tests have shown that 2 percent of the abcessed livers condemned at packing houses show the .presence of foreign objects. . y Signs of hardware disease vary hut may include humping of the back, reluctance of the Animal 5to move around, persistent diarrhea and continual bloating. Also, the cow's heart frequently makes a "swishing" sound, as if it were heating in a vessel of water. Dr. Thomas says that veterinarians often remove the objects by surgery, but they are experimenting with a bar magnet-which the cow swallows. The magnet remains in the stomach and is supposed to hold metal objects, keeping them from penetrating vital organs. If the foreign objects are passed naturally, as they frequently are, the veterinarian may still need to treat the animal with antibiotics to keep down the infection that follows ;njury of the stomach or intestines. Dr. Thomas emphasizes th&t the most important thing, however, is to. keep the animals from picking up such objects in tJ^ieirJLeed in the first place. FILING DEADLINE FOR ALIEN ADDRESS REPORT FORMS DUE District Director Robert H. Robinson of the Immigration and Naturalization Service reminded aliens in Illinois that Thursday, Jan. 31, is the deadline for filing 1957 address report forms as required under provisions of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act. "The immigration official urged aliens who have not yet filed their 1957 address report to do so by tomorrow night to avoid possible penalties. Failure to comply with the requirements can mean a fine, jail sentence, and deportation for a willful violation. Mr. Robinson said an estimated 131,000 aliens have filed address reports so far this January. A total of 166,000 aliens field address reports in Illinois last year. Reports for 1957 are expected to total 180,000. For Better Results -- Shop bi McHeniy.

Carl G."Hodges, division of reports superintendent, in charge of travel promotion for the state, said, "Not only do vacationers increase retail business for Illinois < merchants, but they contribute through the Illinois motor fuel tax and sales tax.
