They decide that he is insane and notify the family doctor, played by Alex. Johns. The Irish maid, Aletha Barrett, admits the doctor and on learning of the master's condition, decided to leave at once. The play is full of humor from' be- ginning to end. The moral is obvious, and Mr. Dabbleton decides that any attempt to economize, that results in his losing his temper and his dignity is false economy, indeed. The Club will close for the season with the meeting on May 14th, 'when a pie social will.be held. It is expected that Utica W.A. will present their play, and a full house is hoped for.

Granting that all this is true the next thing to consider is your lens. Is it clean? You have looked through dirty eye-glasses with probably a few finger prints on them. If you haven't it's a sure bet that you have experienced the difficulty of looking ~ through a smudgy window. Clean eye-glasses and clean windows give clear vision and similarly the cam- era cannot '"'see" so well if its eye (the lens) is cloudy and smudgy from grease, finger prints and dust collected over a period of months. Cleaning a lens is a very simple operation. All you need {8 a soft, un- starched linen handkerchief and perhaps a match or pencil, if the lens fs-quite small. The rear surface of the lens can easily be reached by "removing the back of the camera. If the camera has a double lens (one behind and one in.front of tle shutter diaphragm), the front coth- bination may be removed by turni to the left, which will allow you t ~--when-set-for "time," -with-the hand- | kerchief over the end of the match or lead pencil. If the lens is quite dirty breathe on it and then rub quickly with the handkerchief. Be sure, when replacing the front lens, «to scret it back into the shutter as far as it will go. SNAPSHOT CUIL Is YQUR LENS CLEAN? work through the shutter opening\ With a clean lens, plus proper exposure, you should always get sharp, as the ones above. The suggestion to work through the shutter opening also applies to cleaning the front surface of cam- eras with single lenses fitted to box cameras and certain folding models. Handle the lens.carefully and don't exert too much pressure. It isn't necessary and might scratch the surface, The amount of pleasure you get out of your camera depends almost entirely on how much thought and care you glve it. Picture taking is just like golf, tennis, basketball or bowling--the more you experiment, thought you give to your hobby, the greater your reward in self satisfac- tion, There are many good books avail- able on amateur photography but one of the latest off the press Is called "How to Take Good Pictures." It is packed with sound advice for the beginner or the advanced ama- teur and profusely fllustrated with pictures of every type, diagrams and what have you. It might be called "The Amateur Photographer's Ref- erence Book," but don't think for one minute it Is as "dry as such a - name might imply. You can no doubt purchase this book from stores that sell cameras and photographic sup- plies, If you know your camera--its lim- ftations or its versatility--glve caro- ful thought to -composition and story-telling possibilities you are - well along your way to take pictures as Interesting and Sharp as the twa shown above.
