"close-ups," and make tore the distance between subject and camera is correct Film of the panchromatic type Is preferable for picturing flow* ers, especially If they are brightly colored. You can use either a high* speed "pan" film or a fine-grained type. The high-speed film enables you to make shorter exposures* while the fine-grained film yields enlargements ot superb quality. Exposure should be ample, rather , than too short. With high-speed film,1 try 1/25-second shutter speed at lens opening f.16. With fine-grained film;] try 1/10 second at f.ll, or 1/25 sec*| ond at f.8. For box-camera pictures, the high-speed film is preferable*: Use a firm camera support, such as' a box or chair, for any shutter speed longer than 1/25 second. Generally, your camera should be" placed or held at about the level of the flower. Light should come front the side, as this emphasizes the shape of the bloom. Take care that direct light rays do not strike the * camera lens. . Try to build up an album of flower/ pictures this summer. Practice] makes perfect, and with experience you can produce splendid resultswell worth your while. John van Guilder ' IK EARLY summer, oar attention naturally turns to flower pictures. Pew camera subjects are more pleasing, and good flower pictures are not difficult to take, provided you observe a few simple rules. Any camera may be used for picturing flowers, but a focusing model with anaBtigmat lens is preferable. With a box camera or set-focus folding camera, you will need a portrait attachment Slip this on your lens, and you can take pictures with the camera only about three feet from the subject. The attachment Is also useful for more extreme close-ups with a focusing camera. Plain backgrounds are attractive in flower pictures. Use sheets of cardboard, white, gray, or black, which you can obtain inexpensively at moat printing shops or stationery stores. The card is placed behind the flowers you select for a picture. It should be of the correct shade to afford pleasing contrast^ Flower pictures should be taken during the two hours after sunrise, and the two hours before sunset. Sunlight is . soft. and pleasing at these hours, but around mid-day it is too harsh for pictures of delicate itooms. Use a small lens opening for flower Wide Uses Predicted for "Windmill" Plane That Has No Wings My Neighbor Says:= If doors or bureau drawers stick a little wax rubbed on the surface where friction occurs will end the trouble. • y * • • Do not use hot water on varnished floor boards. Use a cloth wrung out in lukewarm water. Each section should be rubbed with a dry cloth as it is washed. • • * It would be difficult to find a more imposing flower for growing in the house than the amaryllis; also it would be difficult to find a bulbous flower of any kind which is easier to grow. The bulbs are large and only one should be used in a pot. This bulb should be covered with soil as far as the neck. Only a lit tie water should be given until the flower shoots begin to appear. During this time it is best to keep the potted bulb in a dark place. Indeed, it can be left in the dark until the flower stems are four or five inches high. Then it can be placed in a warm light window and given an abundance of water. The bulbs can be forced over and over again, being dried off in late summer. Associated Newspapers.--WNU Service. POTPOURRI Symbols by Same Man The same person originated the symbols of both the major political parties of the United States-- the Democratic Donkey and the Republican Elephant. He also created the Tammany Tiger and other political caricatures. All are the work of Thomas Nast, a famous political cartoonist who died in 1902. Born in Bavaria, he came to America when six years of age. DEBUNKER By John Harvey Furbay, Ph.D. CopvTifkt iy PuUtt Lt4gtr. Im. CHARLES DARWIN NEVER. SAID MAN DESCENDED FROM APES OR MONKEYS In his book?" "Descent of Man," Darwin wrote, on Page 239: "We must not fall into the error of supposing that the early progenitor ... of man was identical with, or even closely resembled, any existing ape or monkey." Darwin believed that man and the Old world monkeys had both, at some time far back in history, descended from a common ancestry; but he did not believe that man came through the line of the monkeys themselves. Darwinism is no longer in good standing with most Scientific men, for many of his major assumptions have been proved unsound. WNU Service. By LBONAKD H. ENGEL . Washington.--Write this fti you#book: A place in the air for the "windmill" aircraft within five years. Aviation men and others here are freely predicting widespread adoption of the new autogiro that is emerging today from years of quiet experimental work without benefit of publicity. A rapidly-growing list of uses is being compiled for new varieties of the "windmill" plane that can do things no ordinary airplane can duplicate. I went up in one of the new auto- Jgiros demonstrated here by W. Wallace Kellett of Philadelphia. ' We took off in 25 feet. We landed ^almost literally on a dime--sthe wheels struck the earth and stopped, hardly moving a millimeter.^ • Up in the air we stood stock still, ;We moved sideways, we turned as though an axle pierced the fuselage. • And the pilot did all that simply by maneuvering the three whirling blades above the fuselage of the newest type of rotatable wing aircraft. • Abilities such as these have the army interested. Navy men are curious, too, and so are foresters, coast guardsmen, persons concerned with air mail, and others. Autogiro Has No Wings. • The autogiro has come a long way during the decade since the 4ate Senor Juan de la Cierva, its "inventor who was killed in the crash of a transport plane in 1936 in just the kind of accident he sought to jiprevent with his odd-looking craft, brought it to the United States. Today, the trim machine demonstrated by Kellett has no wings, depending for its lift entirely on the whirling blades. With a 225 horsepower motor powering a propeller to give it forward speed and turning the overhead blades for the take off, the autogiro can make 125 miles an hour; it can lift more, rise more sharply and quickly than the predecessors which attracted so much attention hardly more than half a dozen years ago. And technical men in various fields and government services are seeing quickly that its uncanny maneuverability will find ready application. $ The army wants it for "spotting" -artillery fire and for observation and reconnoitering. You could have drawn a detailed picture of Washington while we were above it, so nearly motionless did we hover. The autogiro would also be useful for liaison operations. The navy may find it useful for "spotting" naval gunfire for it has the advantage of being able to hover, yet being so maneuverable that it can follow the course of an enemy fleet. Airplanes are already in wide use for dusting fields with insect poisons, but it is a risky business, moving along at nearly 100 miles an hour only a few feet above the ground. Hence, another use is seen for the autogiro: hovering a few feet above the ground spreading a chemical cloud is not a risky business for the rotatable wing aircraft. Spotting diseased trees has also been successfully accomplished. POTPOURRI Wasps Good for Something Ttye fig we eat is the sweet Smyrna which must be pollinated by the undesirable wild fig. The only cross pollination possible results because the fig wasp, which will produce its young only inside the wild fig fruit, is later transplanted to the Smyrna variety and takes the necessary pollen with it. © Western Newspaper Union. One Day They Will Be Hunting Game Lindbergh's "Glass Heart'* Keeps Many Organs Alive Philadelphia.--Col. Charles Lindbergh's invention, the "glass heart," has been used in over 900 experiments, totalling about 100,000 hours, to keep alive a large variety of organs from human beings and lower animals, Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller institute announced here before the meeting of the American Philosophical society. He added: "The method has reached the stage where it can be profitably applied to many problems in the fields of anatomy, physiology, biological chemistry, and pathology." Among organs kept alive and working, for periods varying from two to thirty days, were hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys, spleens and other glands; arteries, veins, nerves, muscles, joints, and reproductive organs. The hearts kept on beating, the glands continued to secrete, and other organs continued their functions in the circulating medium. While a Labrador retriever is not really a rare dog, few hunters have adopted this species for an all-around game dog. The qualities of the Labrador are adapted to sportsmen all over the country because they are a combination of upland bird dog and water fowl retriever.

They are described through the agency of the Smithsonian institution by Dr. S. F. Blake of the bureau of plant industry, Department of Agriculture. The plants belong to the aster family, and come from the Santa Marta mountains in Colombia, South America. The only "vegetable sheep" hitherto known were from New Zealand. Another strangely shaped plant from the Santa Marta mountains is known as the "monk plant"; at a little distance, especially through a light fog, a group of them looks like an assembly of robed priests.
