Exposure 1/100 second at f.11 on supersensitive film. Usually by the sea even on cloudgr days you have more light tp work with than Inland. The extra light gives you opportunity to "stop down" (use a smaller lens opening) and thereby obtain sharp, clear-cut details. Also there Is no better place tor Interesting action pictures than a summer seaside resort, considering! the many varieties of speed and motion that are in evidence--from sea snails to sea planes, not forget* ting the high diving sea nymphs.. In fact, except for the beach itself and the hotels, cottages and1 wharves, everything seems to be in motion. Of course, If you want closeups of fast action you should be equipped with a fast camera, but don't forget that splendid work with' many seaside scenes is done with an» inexpensive fixed focus camera. If It is rapid motion such as an approaching motorboat, shoot from an angle GOMES the time every year when many of us make tor the seashore for cool breezes, swimming, sailing, motorboating, fishing, and the many other pleasures that go With a sojourn by the sea. Any one can enjoy this fun without a camera, but verily to go to the 'Seashore and return without haying jinade a picture-story of your visit 'seems as useless as trying to write a ibook about it with water tor ink. iWhen you have finished, your memory may retain some of it for a time, but eventually you remember little else than the fact that you went there. Years later you will say, "Yes, I had a good time that summer," but What did you do, whom were you with, what did you see? Bet a million that with nothing in your snapshot album to show for it, you will remember scarcely anything oC the details of that good time, and regretfully wish you could. Another reason for taking your camera to the seashore is that where Ihe sea is,. with its bright reflecting paters, you have exceptional fehances for making line pictures. have an enlargement made when you get home. * John van Guilder.

MOULTON Prtsidmnt, The Brookings Iiutitution WASHINGTON -- Recovery in the United States has gone far, but it has been marked by two striking characteristics-- slowness of the gains In the durable goods industries and the persistence of a great volume of unemployment. At the Brookings Institution, we have made a comprehensive analysis ot the American situation which included a detailed study of the production requirements for full recovery. The production task ahaad--if standard* of living are to be restored even to their former levsl--is fonndito 1.

JL To expand the output of consumption good* in accordance wttfc thie growth of population. The study was made under a grant from the Falk Foundation ot Pittsburgh. In it, we sought to estimate how great; an increase in output would be required to restore by 19tl a per odptta The recovery movement between 1934 and 1936 Was thus soundly based. Production was steadily moontlng, purchasing power was being spread broadly among the masses, speculation was not excessive, business men had not stocked up with heavy supplies' ot goods, and the general balance between production and consumption was satisfactory. At the end ot 19S6, thsrsfore, the stage seemed sqt for a period of great expansion. Production requirements were adequate to absorb ali tfce issaapiered. The reetirtpt moveownt we» steadily bsoaienlag; the eeonomk system as a whole was im reasonably good balance, and at the same tbnethepoeetbility of the govenuaspt balancing its budget appeared somswhat bHgfeter. _ Further Expansion Threatened In recent months, partteulartf sines February, the situation has nhnngiil in one vitally important respect Kapld increases in raw noaterial prieea and in wages have laid the VTft Cor an oldtime vicious spiral ot inflation.

Earnings moved Upward, while the cost ot living went down, making it possible tor workers to , hoy more (or their money. This is particularly noticeable in the recovery period since 1932. It should be kept in mind, however, that the average number ' Ot hoars worked has been substantially reduced in recent years. On the ether hand, the baying power ot the consumer's dollar has increased somewhat more than Is indicated because of improvement in the quality of goods and services used in the cost-of-living Index. at a distance of 75 to 100 feet and usually you get it without blur. The a iiand, Oregon, spent Sunday in the" B T. Butler home. ' Dr. ®jh-Mrs. Hepburn spent Friday pfternoon and Saturday with their daughter and family at Kenosha, level ot production and consumption equal to that of 1929. The results of the survey of the situation in the fields of housing and otjier forms of durable goods, steam railroads, public utilities, industrial enterprises, etc., are striking. It would be necessary to produce such durable goods at the rate of approximately 33 billion dollars annually from 1937 through 1941, as compared with actual production of only 21 billions In 1936, and of 25 billions annually in the boom period between 1925 and 1929. In other words, to make up for what it did not produce In depression years, and to provide for the needs of an expanding population, the nation would have to produce annually 60 per cent more durable goods than in 1936. Three times as much housing construction would be necessary, in the field of non-durable, consumption goods which are such things as food, clothes, and amusements, such a large expansion Vduld not be needed. Labor Shortage Might Result The production program required in the field ot durable goods would necessitate-- at present working hours-- the employment of from 8 to 9 million additional laborers. Making allowance for additional workers needed to.produce consumption goods, it appears certain that unless working hours were lengthened, there would be shortages ot both skilled and unskilled labor. Since standards of living cannot be restored to former levels unless productive output Is restored, any further shortening of the working week will restrain the expansion of output and thus restrict the raising of standards of living. It should be borne in mind that working hours have been reduced since 1929 by approximately 20 per cent, as compared with only 13 per cent in the preceding 30 years. The present recovery movement has been marked by steadily increasing wage rates as compared with prices, and this has increased purchasing power among the masses. The employment of more workers as production . has expanded has Increased the flow of money to the working population; and at the same time those already employed have been able to buy more with their wages. During the same period, profits have been greatly Increased from low depression levels as a result of the expansion of output and an increase of efficiency. This efficiency Increase has been about in prok portion to wage rates. time, and while the industries in question may temporarily pass on higher costs to consumers, further broad expansion of -business activity appears to be threatened. The advance In the prices ot such basic products as iro$ and steel and other metals, building materials, etc., may hamper expansion of production in Certain very important lines. Only recently have the railroads gotten into a financial shape that would permit them to spend much money on new equipment and the building oi better * roadbed and track. Now, with the price of steel rising, and with wage Increases also in prospect, it is doubtful whether the railroads will be able to carry out the extensive programs ot rehabilitation which they have planned. Similarly, the building of new houses, apartments, etc., may be held back by the rising prices of building materials. It this turns out to be the case, it will check the reemployment of idle workers, and the attainment of the higher standards of living which are so greatly desired. Large sections of* the population would soon suffer as a result of a rapid rise in prices. Among them are'farriers who do not work for wages, individuals on fixed salaries; and those living on incomes from Investments. These constitute more then half the total population. Perhaps the most serious phase of the problem is the possibility of a new disparity between industrial and agricultural prices whieh may result if wages force 4ndustsiai prices upward. Stimulation Only Temporary The adverse effects upon production may be considerably delayed, because a rise, in prices usually stimu-' lates business for the time being. With prices going up, business men and others hasten to place orders and buy extra quantities order to be ahead of the price advance. This speeds up business activity and for .a time increases the demand for labor. Such expansion of demand In turn serves to increase the demand for products and to raise prices the more rapidly. In due course, however, price relationships arp so disturbed that certain groups of people lose purchasing power. This, in turn, sets in motion forces which tend to reduce prosperity. Fortunately, the dangers Inherent Is this situation appear to have been recognized, and efforts are being made by both business and the government to restrain price advances. at ihm first acts of i during tha Atttoufwaa the abolition bp aolawMt decree of all distinction In tha drasses of the rlnnnrs siTntftrit# the keynote in ; costume an)t dan; colors and cheaper - materials* ^specialty cotton, took the place as the silks, velvets, ribbons, aid lacaS of tha former reigns.
