Mrs. Elliatte had been up- town when the wood caught fire. i 1 J. P. Elliatte of the Hollinger, | Want _Lignite Developed The Cochrane Board of Trade will present a resolution at the annual meeting of the Ontario Associated Boards on November '20th, pressing for the opening of the lignite fields on the T. & N.O. Railway, 126 miles north of that town. The resolution points out that former development has "proved this field to be the larg- 'est lignite deposit in the world" and that its development now uation in Abyssinia during and)My. Elliatte was wakened by the would employ a large number of since the Italo-Ethiopian wat.|heat and smoke and was able to men, thus relieving the economic speaking at the local Rotary Club luncheon on Monday. He had spent several months in Ethiopia during the height of the hostilities and has nothing but praise for the natives and condemnation for the Italian in- vaders. Stories of atrocities on the part of the Ethiopians, circu- lated by their enemies, were false in every case, Mr. Mason declar- ed. The people were "too mild. too gentle an dtoo gentlemanly" to be guilty of the practices of which they were accused, he said, and in spite of all the claims of Mussolini, their country was only partly conquered. There was still an Ethiopian headquar- ters in the western section of the country and there are still oppor- tunities for Canadians to extend their trade to that country, ac- cording to Mr. Mason. Mr. Mason, it will be recalled, went to Ethiopia early Jast year and according to his own state- ment, was there during a greater part of the hostilities. He left in March last, with nothing but pity and admiration for the people] people there and believes firmly that if the chances had been any- where near equal, there would have been no conquest by the Italian forces. The so-called "black-shirts" of Mussolini's forces did not fight the Ethiopians according to Mr. Mason. They were far too cowardly and only "oceans of poison gas" brought anything in the nature of a vic- tory for the Italian troops, after regiments of black men had been thrown into the fighting. The speaker -had nothing but praise for the Ethiopian people who were the "oldest Christian nation on earth" and with the highest sense of justice. He had met personally Emperor Haile Selassie, he told the club, and many other men prominent in the affairs of the country, and he declared that they had been "pen- alized by the League of Nations, abused by the press of the world," and this treatment was continu- ing in the refusal of a supply of arms to the remnants of the Ethiopian army now concentrat- ed in the western section of the country. They had fulfilled their obligations in the League of Nations to the letter, M1. Mason said, but had received nothing in return. He answered several questions as to the nature of the country, the prospects fer future development, and in general gave the meeting a very interesting sketch of conditions there. In extending a vote of thanks to the speaker, Dr. D. G. Wilson said that all realized that Ethio- pia had not been given a square deal, and offered some criticism of both the press and the Italian government. That country, the doctor said, was already making capital out of the alleged con- quest of Ethiopia in a campaign for the sale of Christmas seals, something in which he is especi- ally interested.

How would the picture look without the tree? \ AT is a city park for? Why, for nothing less than to give city- dwelling camera owners a chance to take landscape pictures without leaving the city. It is surprising what opportunities the public parks afford for charming bits of land- Scape composition. Indeed, it is quite worth while for the country dweller to come to the city and take advantage of them. True, he will find that Mother Nature's handiwork has been considerably manicured, but often so much the better from an artistic standpoint. Moreover, walks and short grass make it easy to seek out camera viewpoints. There are many broad panoramas in the larger city parks, but an espe- cially wide view is not needed. There is good pictorial material even in the smallest of parks. A path through a grove of trees where sun- beams fall, the pond reflecting the knolls or hill tops in its calm sur- face, or a bit of a brook rippling through the meadow, each can make an artistic picture with the right composition. Stroll about and you will see many such chances. The first rule in pictorial compo- sition is: There shall be but one pic- ture, one setting of dominant inter- est. On reaching the summit of a hill re is great temptation to throw i rules of composition to the winds and try to include everything in sight. The panorama is attractive to the eye because of its sweep and big- ness. But when the print shows noth- ing but a myriad of minute objects very nearly at the vanishing point, with no prominent foreground ob- jects, the result will be disappoint- ing. Almost any quiet scene which the eye finds interesting is suitable for landscape work. But to be a real pic- ture it must have a center of inter- est, a dominant point where the eye will come to rest, without being con- scious of the drawing power of the light that gives it accent and the lines that lead to it. This may be, for example, merely a single tree sil- houetted against clouds, a bend in a stream where it emerges from the shadows of foliage, or the vista of a woodland path converging at a point emphasized by a highlight. Often a human figure, if properly placed, will give balance and add interest to a picture without dominating the scene. The center should, of course, be avoided and the person used as a "foil" should not look toward the camera nor appear too close in the foreground. And don't forget to have a sky filter with you to take full advan- tage of striking cloud effects. 86 JOHN VAN GUILDER FOR BETTER LIGHT = EDISON dents.--Northern News.
