Qi-SNAPSHOT CUIL PICTURES IN THE HOME Attractive "horns" pictures, such as this, are easy to take, either In the * */ m daytime or at night with photo bulbs. PICTURES of the rooms of your * home are easy to make, and add variety to the snapshot collection. They also have memory value, in the event furnishings are changed or the home is remodeled. Any camera is suitable for these pictures, if It can be set for a time exposure. The pictures can be taken sither in the daytime, or at night. Before taking a picture by daylight, have the room Illuminated as svenly as possible. Illumination may be balanced, in some cases, by adjusting shades*of windotrs that will be out of range of the camera. Photo lights of tbe amateur "flood" type are quite helpful In "evening up" the illumination. These bulbs are also valuable for taking night pictures of Interiors. . v With the Illumination adjusted, place the camera on a firm support, shutter set for "time." Point it toward the part of the room to be pictured set the lens for a small opening such as MS, and make the exposure. The exposure time varies with the brightness of the room. With a box camera, or using lens opening f.16 en ( cameras so marked, exposure can as short as 4 seconds on a bright, sunny day when the room has white walls and more than one window. With dark walls and only one window, exposure on a sunny day would be about 40 seconds. On a day of hazy sun, leave the shutter open twice as long, and on a very dull day, ten times as long. These figures will serve as a guide, but for your first picture you should make several "test" shots, with increased exposure each time. Three shots, one with 10-second timing, one with 30 seconds, and one with about 2 minutes, will do. Have a print made from each negative, and you can get a good idea of the timing that will be best for other "Interior" pictures. Photo bulbs, when needed to obtain an even balance of lighting in a room, can be used in bridge lamps with shades tipped up and moved about to direct light wherever necsssary. Of course, such lights used for general illumination should not be placed where they will show in the daytime pictures. If windows are Included in the pifr ture, try this: keep the shades down for seven-eighths of the exposure. Then close the camera shutter, being careful not to move the camera; raise the shades, and open the cant* era shutter for the remaining exposure time. This trick keeps the windows from recording too brightly on the film. In arranging a room for a picture, it is wise to move any furniture that is quite near the camera, leaving an sbcluppen" foreground. This makes the room seem more spacious. The picture should show more floor than ceiling, to avoid a top-heavy appearance. Winter months are a splendid time to picture the rooms of your home. Take these pictures now, and you. will find added value in them in later years. ^ STATE OF ILLINOIS, COUNTY OF McHENRY, SS.* IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF McHENRY COUNTY. Plaintiff, Vs.

Reed Here is a lifesaver in the form of a seedless melon for those who are ^continually getting seeds between their teeth. Cheong Yin Wong, 27- year-old graduate student at Michigan State college, has developed a watermelon without seeds, a trick that other men have accomplished with tomatoes, summer squash and egg plant, but not with a watermelon. In the picture Wong holds the seedless watermelon he has developed in his right hand while in the left hand he holds half of a, regular watermelon showing the seeds. POTPOURRI Sea Lily Not a Flower A sea lily is not a flower but a sea animal. Generally foujid around coral reefs in shallow water, it looks very much like a water flower. What appear to be leaves rising to the surface are small arms which sift out small particles of plant life and pass them along to the animal's mouth. G Western Newspaper Union.

They are set in shallow water and baited with tankage. The holes in the nets are large enough to allow all fish to escape. Labor Relations Act News . i Since the beginning of the session of Congress there has been considerable talk of a revision of the National Labor Relations Act. It is reported that Congressman Anderson of Missouri, who introduced a bill to repeal the Act will soon fUe a petition on the Speaker's desk to seek to force a vote in the House to discharge tne Committee on Labor from consideration of the bill. Within the past few days there Have been rumors that the National Labor Relations Board will soon present a complete revision of their ruies in an effort to counteract criticism against the Board for its high-handed manner in administering the National Labor, Relations Act. Regardless of whether or hot die Board presents a revision of its rules, ft is anticipated that Congress will take action at the present session to amend the Act in a way that will make it more workable and equitable to all soncerned. An Interstate Drivers' Iicense Bill Apparently the Senate of the United States is of the opinion that all of the states of the Union should have a driver's license law. We base this statement on the fact that on Febru-, ary 6, Senate Bill 25 which provides that "no person shall operate any motor vehicle in interstate or foreign commerce unless such person has 'in his immediate possession a valid license issued under the laws of the state in which the license was issued, and which law of the state must provide that no such license shall be is* sued except to persons passing an examination which includes a test of the applicant's eye sight, his ability to read and understand highway signs reguiating, warning and directing traffic and an actual demonstration of his ability to exercise ordinary and reasonable control in the operation of a motor vehicle," was passed by the Senate and referred to the House for that body's approval. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. If it is passed by the House and secures Presidential approval, it will take effect four years after the date-of its enactment thus enabling all states which do not have driver's license l^ws complying with the requirements above cited, to enact such a law.
