On the contrary. 1 am for k. But-- &ere are mist kinds and classes of Snapshots. T^ere are, for instance, the snapshots that are rery good as Car as exposure, sharpness and composition are concerned but with practically no human interest appeal. We «•« class these as record pictures. Have TOO ever" heard of story-telling snapshots? I'll wager that many of you haven't. For that reason this week's Snapshot Guild will ]be devoted to story-telling pictures. From the cradle to the grave we jbear stories -- and like them, Alb through our lives we retain our interest in story-illustrations. It is this appeal that takes us to the movies and causes us to look through the pages of daily newspapers and magazines for pictures that tell stoiies -o| human activities. When it comes to taking snapshots, however, so many seem to forget about story-telling subjects. They pick up their cameras and just •hoot. There is a better way to take pictures. • There is a vast difference between a close-up view of a person ani * story-telling picture. • close-up" whether head-and-shoulder, threequarters or full length--is more or less a record picture to show the Image of the person photographed, but^ it does not tell a story. You majr take a picture of Peggy standing looking at the camera. A line picture, no doubt, bearing all the earmarks of good photography properly exposed and a good example of composition, ' but still a record-type snapshot Let Peggy be pictured raking the leaves and you have a story-telling human interest snapshot. Today as you're glancing through the newspaper, notice for yourself whether record pictures of people looking at* the camera or story-telling pictures* of people doing things interest and please you more. Before talcing a picture give it a little thought and if it is to be a snapshot of an individual, have him doing something and not staring at the camera, simulating a victim of amnesia. I don't i^ant to seem to lectnre but! I do want to imprest upon you the;' importance of giving serious thought to your picture taking. If you will keep this story-telling idea foremost in your mind when you take your next pictures. I am sure they will be more interesting to you and yotft frlendft.

Our Washington Letter}' Washington, October 18 -- Diplomats, military officials and politicians are searching diligently for true signs as to the Pss^ident's motives in his sensational etoteance into internal affairs, which had such worldwide fepercujstfons. The politieaBy-mip^pd would Welcome a special Congressional session for no other reason than to provoke debate to clarify the haze which now surrounds the whole affair. Some^skeptics nre of the opinion that taking the lead in the present international friction was a smart gesture designed to take the people's minds off the Black scandal and other embarrassing domestic issues, which are a plague to.the Administration at this time. Others insist that it is a well considered program destined to assure peace abroad without involving this country in war. If Congress is sum- "{moned next month for an extraordinary session, as intimated, then the militarists and peace groups will have a spring-board to prpject their propaganda." The boycott angle has been emphasized this week by the American Federation of Labor. A policy of forbidding trade with certain nations would undoubtedly strike hard at industries which have a sizeable foreign market. The unemployment question is no mean factor when suppliers of raw materials and finished products for 'munitions are affected by a blacklisting plan. A powerful group of Senators who have devoted years of study to the neutrality question--and spent plenty of the taxpayers' money in this direction--would probably make the welkin ring with their oratory. The State Department would prefer to have Congress away while they handle the delicate work of international conferences. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is experiencing difficulty in selling his ever-normal granary idea calculated to assure "the maximum of security and balanced abundance for both consumers and farmers." While the farm legislation is the first order of business for Congress under a pre-adjournment agreement, the easy sailing expectations are not likely to be realized. Ground-swell of sentiment as measured in confidential reports from various farming sections indicate divr ided opinion, llepresentatves of powerful farm groups say privately that farmers in the West think of the legislation in an entirely different light than their fellows in the South and East. Processing taxes for cotton are definitely in the books, but the other features of an agricultural legislative program are uncertain. The story is going the rounds that the forthcoming tour of a Senate committee authorised to conduct hearings to ascertain views of farmers is studded with wire-pulling stunts. The allegation is made that agents of the Department interested in convincing the Senators of the public demand for their schemes are coaching important witnesses on the proper answers. A fine rumpus is in prospect when the gruff and fighting Senator Smith of South Carolina, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, gets wind of these alleged tactics. Wallace has been obliged to alter his course' and modify his original program, but the question arises as to how far he will switch in an emergency. Despite the beat efforts to subordinate the political aspects of the appointment- of Mr. Justice Black to inaffWnj /attiBtion is still on 4$$ngs <i the highest tribunal ar~its«|tfeff dnm to roatine. Several capes on which Black has publicly expressed his pttttoMal convictions as a legislator are pending with the certainty that many attorneys will ask him to step aside during the adjudication period. The government itself " is seeking clarification of certain features of ttfe National Labor Relations Act. .-Blask's position regarding the, public iitility policies df the New Deal aire Well known. A number of appeals'are . awaiting £ ruling from the Supreme Cdttrt. Whether tihfe new jurist: will voluntarily refrain from participation in the proceedings- in, which his .bias has been noted is something, now puzzling the legal profession and the politicians. The entire TVA program - of the Administration including® regional power authorities is also at stake. The challenges jts to Mr. Black iq these matters may keep him idle fot sometime. Administrative agencies of the Federal government are devoting intense study to questions of policy these days as demand tor goods slackens. Reports show that under the urge of a strong buyers demand that many producers built up tremendous inventories last spring and summer. Now that a recession is noted, the fiscal program as to credits and other items is watched with concern. It is reliably stated that the Federal Reserve Board considers the swing up in production and demand as a healthy sign and an antidote for the dangerous over-expansion of earlier months. The tax situation is regarded as encouraging on the basis of compilation of statistics on income returns. The Treasury analysis this week reveals the returns of individuals reporting net income for 1936 numbered 4,575,- 012, on which the net income was 414,- 909,812,025 and the total tax liability was $657,439,343. As compared with the returns for the previous year, the total number for 1935 increased by 480,592, or 11.7 percent, the net income increased by $2,113,009,943, or 16.5 percent, and the total tax liability increased by $146,039,565, or 28.6 per cent.
