i'MP #'. * , a "'•<* " J '.jPsi n*Bn THX BloHZHKY FLAIHDBAIJS& Thursday, March 7.1940 «!«$ TmiTH *MtAnuCDT!S!NG By CHARLES B. ROTH NEW WEALTH TO ORDER THE president of a i new industry asked me if I would attend, a sales convention and make a speech and I accepted. When I got to tht meeting-place I found that he had < assembled his entire organization, numbering 300. I never saw a more alert group of workers. They all seemed filled with enthusiasm for their wortf and their product. I learned interesting things about that industry. Six years before it didn't exist. It was *n a new field, manufacturing • product that six Charles iteih years before was unknown. It started small, in a single room with three employees. It went ahead fast. What its success amounted" to is this: Three hundred jobs have been created through the sale of the product, which fills a definite need in American homes. If the average American family numbers four persons, these S00 workers support, with their earnings from this business, a total of 1,1200 personsenough to populate a small city. Yet six years ago where the factory stood was a swamp and these SOO breadwinners hadn't eveii heard about the product it was now their privilege to make for their public. The president of that concern had literally created an industry out of an idea. I say the president created it. Actually he was only a partner in the creation. What really was responsible was advertising. . The idea of the new product was sound. The advertising told the public about it. The public responded by buying. With each sale a demand for more workers was created, and as workers went on the payroll the prosperity of everyone in the community increased -- storekeepers, doctors and dentists, theater owners. Advertising creates new wealth by showing people new and better ways of living, and as it creates new wealth it contributes to the prosperity of everyone touched by the flow of money which is set up. In this way, don't yon see, advertising is a social force which is working in the interest of every one of us every day of the year, bringing1 us new wealth to use and enjoy. The chances are that you owe part of your own income to the effect of advertising. Somewhere it has ereated new wealth which you share, regardless of what your vocation is, because when new wealth is created it circulates among many hands, yours, mine and the other fellow's. © Charles B.

The answer Is below--with other Ideas for novel and amusing pictures you can take. 11THEN you run out of Ideas for the *' usual type of pictures--try jour hand at unusual pictures. Look out for novel angle shots, and opportunities for "puzzle pictures." This is tun--and such shots "will add novelty to your snapshot album. • There are all sorts of unusual things worth trying. For example, odd lighting effects when you are taking night snapshots. Instead of laving your photo bulbs at eye level, put them on the floor for a few shots,--so that they shine up toward .your subjects, and cast long shadows on the wall. It's a stunt that yields surprising effects. Try Bhots at unusual angles. Take a picture from an upstairs window, '•with a subject directly below you "looking straight upward. Try a steep up-angle shot of a tall building. Shoot straight down a stairway weH. The picture above is a shot of a deep circular staircase, taken with the camera pointed almost straight down. YouH agree it makes a novel effect. For another stunt, try tricks with perspective. Take a shot of a subject sitting down, with his feet extended toward the camera, ilf the feet are fairly close to the lens, they will show up absurdly large in the picture. For shots such as this, use the ; smallest lens opening on your camera, as you need extra "depth of field." It won't matter if the nearest objects are slightly out of focus, but they shouldn't be too "fuzzy." Try some double-exposure tricks. For example, a close-up shot of a newspaper page--and then a closeup of a person on the same film. Use a dark background for the shot of the person. You can produce someunusual "combination" effects in this manner. _ Try all these stunts -- and keep your eyes open for other novel picture chances. They'll give added spice to your camera hobby. - John van Guilder SERVICES '^(Central Standard Time) *t.-Mary's Catholic Masses: Sundays: 8:00; 10:80.

CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS I - • . v by Congressman Chauncey W. Reed Answer or to,.fail You'll Go! Whipped on by the insistance of the White House and Secretary of Commerce Harry Hopkins, the Administration- controlled House has decided i that, whether he likes it or not, Mr. | John Q. Citizen, must, during the com- j ing census, answer certain question i pertaining to his personal finances-' and private living conditions which constitute an invasion of the sanctity of his home and fireside if not a flagrant violation of his Constitutional rights. It is apparent that the information to be obtained by Uncle Sam's snoopers will be the foundation for a new extensive tax program which is contemplated if the New Deal is successful in the 1940 election. The little fellow as well as the big one will be made the target of new federal taxed and if he refuses to disclose his financial condition to the census taker he' may find himself in the embarassing situation of trying to find someone to sign his bond in order to effect his release from jail.

See Ameriea First » The official bulletin of the United States Travel Bureau reports that an important stride forward in the coordination of business and government interest to promote American travel was made at a conference of leaders of the travel industry in North and South America. At the conference hope was expressed that the Presidential proclamation issued on January 13, declaring 1940 to be "Travel in America Year" would stimulate travel in the United States during the coming year. With the coming of Spring it is anticipated that the nation's Capital city will again be the mecca for travelers from all over the country. The Greater National Capital Committee is making preparations for what they believe will be one of Washington's biggest "visitor" years. They anticipate that this year's Cherry Blossom Festival will draw more tourists than have been here in many years past. The average influx of visitors to the city on "Cherry Blossom Sunday" is usually in the neighborhood of 100,000. This year horticultural experts have advised officials that the event will probably occur on the days of April 5th to 7th. ,s- Ostend moved to our village Tuesday.

WEBSTER'S DICTIONARIES ARE NOT ALWAYS WEBSTER S. Strangely enongh, the name Weqi, ster's" on the cover of a dictionary may label books that have little to do with Noah Webster, who wrote and published America's first unabridged dictionary in 1828. Like all other copyrights, the copyright on Webster's original work ran out after 56 years, and today the Webster name can be, and is, used by anyone who wishes to borrow the prestige of the great lexicographer's name, which cannot be copyrighted. In 1843 the publication rights to Webster's original work were acquired by G. & C. Merriam company, which firm has revised the dictionary many times and issued up-to-date editions of "Merriam-Webster dictionaries," as they are the legal successors of Noah Webster's original work. •Public Letfjfer--WNU Service.)
