The stethoscope is merely a convenience, for it permits the use of both ears, and what is more important, permits the doctor to examine a smaller area than otherwise possible.

Every town should have a camera club. PETER F. MILLER W«»t MeHenry State fitapk, Clerking IK EVERY town where there are : several camera fans, there should be a local camera club. Such clubs are of value to anyone who takes pictures and wants to improve his picture-taking. The camera club brings snapahooters together. It enables them to exchange ideas, and swap experiences. They can work together on problems, hear useful discussions, and organize speiial events such as picture parties, hikes or excursions. Contact with other camera fans helps each member, for there is always something new to be learned. ; In the club, one member may know a great deal about taking snapshots at night. He can advise others <m lighting, film and exposure for night snapshots. Another member Way own a miniature camera, and Specialize in "off-guard" snaps or ' human-Interest pictures of children ifct play. Still another may know 2•; iomething about sports pictures, or flower pictures. Thus, each member fan contribute some knowledge which will help all the others make l-pfjetter snapshots. So popular and practical are camera clubs that, in the past few years, several thousand have organized in the United States. Some clubs have hundreds of members; others, only four or five. But no matter how small, the club is of value. In many instances, the camera club Is part of a larger group, such as a Boy Scout troop or woman's club. Often, the club is able to have regular meeting rooms, and members "chip in" to fit out a darkroom with better equipment than each could afford by himself. Organization of the club Is quite simple. Camera fans simply get together, arrange for regular meet; ings, and plan a series of programs. Literature and suggestions for program materiakare obtained from various sources--often from manufacturers of cameras and film, who have special departments to supply such, material without charge for club use. Picture exhibitions or "criticism nights" are usually planned, and whenever possible, tours, hikes, or other special picture jaunts are arranged. Under the stimulus of these activities, it is small wonderthat pictures improve, and the snap-t shooter gets more fun and ben»fltr from his camera hobby! John van Guilder. ••.i.ii.-.iti, compare his pronouncements with def. inite recommendations. Macaulay, the English historian, once said, "No man iat the head of affairs always wishes to be .explicit.",' -.While-' this referred.' to the British Prime Minister, many legislators feel that the same comment could be applied to Mr. Roosevelt's formal report on "the state of the union." The numerous measures dealing with pensions indicate the widespread [interest in the forthcoming special report on social security. It is expected that the Chief Executive will abide by the recommendations of the Social Security Board. They are studying the suggestions of the advisory council which recently submitted plans for several changes in the present law extending the benefits to many classes now excluded. With two rival pressure knocking at their doors for pension legislation the lawmakers are hopeful that the Administration will forward schemes which will help solve their dilemma. State legislators would like to see Congress take quick action to lessen the vexations on their jobs as local pensionites pur on the heat. Those election promises are coming home to roost. Senators and Representatives from Middle Westertjstates where defence issues are not asVrQDfliinced as along seacoast areas are gratefuS^for the Roosevelt technique utilized in la3t week's message. His references to the religious angle is calculated to vitalize public support among classes regarded as pacifist in their views. examinations for law enforcement positions and to those few cases where voluntary vouchers Tiave indicated some doubt about the character or record of the applicant." Dealers in patronage do not like the Commission's resistance to blanketing temporary employees on the permanent payroll with' tests as to their qualifications. The hint that the nationwide W. P. A. staff will slide under the tent this way gives civil service advocates cold chills. A. E. Giegengack, U. S. Public Printer, is a courageous official whft; dares bearding the hungry lions. He had the nerve to advise Congress td cut down on propaganda as an econ- _0I»jL_meastire and to cultivate the public's good will. He suggests a drastic curtailment in the free distribution of government publication! as an answer to growing criticism | "for spending money on pseless matter." Legislators who have flooded the mail boxes with documents and speeches sent out at the taxpayer's expense will consider this plan as a solar plexus blow. The substitution recommended is a simplified method of making government publications available at low cost for people wanting them. The Public Printer argues quite logically that a convenient sales system would improve the quality and save tremendous sums. It is a revolutionary scheme which would sei> iously cramp the propaganda of Congress and government departments* Perhaps it is a bit of wishful thinking, but Mr. Giegengack has poised a problem which the lawmakers would like to escape. sepfc, of Oak Park, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- j Ham Plankonen of" Chicago, and Mr. 4 said Mrs. John Cunningham and Mrs! - Carrie Parker of Barrington.
