SNAPSHOT GUIL "SCHOOL DAYS ARE HERE if. K. >. The many school activities offer countless opportunities for snapping >_•, pictures that you will enjoy.ta v«»r» to Come, . __ IF there was ever a snapshooter's paradise, It's school for those who attend it. It may be a one-room school or It may be a great university. Wherever, whatever it may be, it's crammed with unbeatable . picture possibilities. * • Y e t w e m i g h t a s W e l l f a c e t h e f a c t ©f the matter--few snapshooters tnake the most of school's snapshooting opportunities. ' - Perhaps they are dazxled by the Very wealth of the material at hand. More likely, they assume that somebody elsa is going to take the pictures. And that's a fatal mistake. For nobody else can see thirrq as you see them. And it's what > see that means most to you--and the folks dt home, now or years from now. The question, then, is how to make the most of school's picture possi- . bilities. A little planning will do the • trick. First, about the right camera for echool. Any camera will do, providing it is clean and in good order and uses a size of film that is easily available anywhere. If yours has a last lens and a fast shutter, you'll have an advantage in taking shots at sporting events, but such a camera is not at all essential. With a little care you can make even the Simplest box camera turn out entirely satisfactory pictures. Then, how can snapshooting be planned? All of it, of course, cannot be planned, but many of the most important shots can be. Why not work out a scenario, Hollywood fashion? First of all, whether school's just around corner or a thousand miles away, you'll wa^t a few good shots of home. Then a view or two taken on the way to school. Maybe those views seem commonplace now* but wait a few years. At school, of course, there are th§ obvious ghots of the buildings, the grounds, new classmates, teachers^ old friends, sports, picnics, class ( ceremonies, and so on. It's a good idea to take them so as to form a kind of continued story. Then, when they are mounted in your album, the pictorial story will flow along evenly. A really good collection of school pictures is hard to find, as any school year-book editor will tell you. Yet there's nothing much easier to take; and few snapshots increase in value, year after year* as surely as those taken at school John van Ouilder SPEAKING Of SAFEty COCKTAILS MAKE GOODMCt- BRtAKERS* £T SOCIAL GATHERINGS when somebody DRINKS TOO MANY OF "THfcfV\ TAVERKI --•--•AND GETS IN T^€V're NECK-breakers/ Europe finds it difficult to understand the strength of what is called "isolationism" here. * 1 : Argentina's electoral laW, little enforced, prescribes a fine for Citizens failing to vote. : 'As protection agaihst ^halce bi^i forestry workers of Australia wear half an automobile, inner tube.

It is a fine game to play at camp, or when swimming in river, lake or ocean, says a writer in the Washington Star.- The gan\e is much like basket ball, but goal posts ace used instead of baskets. They are set up about 25 yards apart, and form the end boundaries. You can set stakes in the stream or lake bed to form rough side boundaries. They should be about 15 yards apart. > Each team is composed of five players. A referee and timekeeper also are needed. The game is divided into four quarters of from 5 to 15 minutes each. If all the players are good swimmers, the depth of the water is unimportant; if they are notfit is best to play in water that is chest deep at its deepest point,, * - The ball should be of "rubber, from 6 to 10 -inches in cjiafiieter, aVid inflated solidV The gapie starts with a toss-up at center by the referee. The ball "can 'be. passed, or pushed along tl\e water, but not carried. One poijit is scored when a piayer succeed? in making a goal by t'ojs'shjg rtbetween the goal posts^ and over the cross bar.

How te Read Rapidly Psychologists have suggested these rules for learning to read rapidly: Read without whispering or mouthing the words, or pointing at them, try to comprehend phrases, sentences and paragraphs at a glance; do not let your mind^wander, and try* to avoid reading every word by anticipating the author in his development of his thought or idea.
