(-^SNAPSHOT GUILD "OFF-CUARD PICTURES .Provide eomethlno for the subject to do, to draw his attention away from the camera--and you'll aet mere natural pictures. TIB best pictures, as a rule, Appear imposed. They seem to have been taken without the subject's knowledge--and the result, of coarse, is that the subject appears more natural, without any camera-consciousness. 8ome subjects are free ot cameraconsciousness-- they can poee quite easily and comfortably for any pictare. Others stiffen up and try to "look their best"--or insist on watching the cfcmera--and such subjects must be caught "off guard" if you want a really effective picture. That doesnt mean that the subject must be wholly unaware of the camera It simply means that his attention must be drawn elsewhere( --focused on some other thing--at the moment of exposure. • One simple solution is to give the subject something to do--something to absorb his attention completely, so he has none left over for the camera. For example, consider the picture above. The small girl is too busy to watch the camera--she must watch Daddy, who is going to catch her. Therefore, while the picture has obviously been arranged* there Is no stiffness. It Is s gewriM "off-guard" "hot Another good trick is to place the cc.~c" on " firm support, pointing at the subject, and keep your hand on the shutter release while you engage in conversation. For example, suppose you want some shots of Johnny blowing soap bubbles. Place the camera on a lawn table or chair, sit beside it, admire a bubble as it grows, and trip the shutter casually when everything is as you like it You'll find it easier--and the subject will be more at ease than if you were peering at him through the view finder. v If your camera has a fairly rapid shutter, that's an advantage. Use a shutter speed of 1/100 or 1/150 second, and you won't have to caution the subject to hold still/ Now, load up your camera, pl<dt a subject that has proved "difficult" in the past, and try these "offguard" methods. My guess is that you'll get more natural, pleasing pictures. John van Guild** , TODAY'S HEALTH COLUMN Dr. Barton Gall Bladder Is Most Frequent Illness Cause iy DR. JAMES W. BARTON IF YOU were asked what is the most common illness, you might answer that heart disease was the most common as it stands first as a cause of death. As a matter of fact, distress in stomach and intestine is the most common complaint and, in the majority of cases, the symptoms are due to disturbances in the gall bladder. "It is a fact that the majority of patients in any general medical clinic present as their chief complaint stomach and intestinal symptoms. In recent years it has been recognized, more and more, that in a considerable proportion of these patients the underlying cause of their symptoms is to be found about the gall bladder. Extensive study of bodies after death has shown that inflammation of the gall bladder is present in 60 ot every 100, and of these 60 about one in every five has gall stones." Of those with gall stones the majority do not have attacks of gall stone colic and so do not know or suspect that they have gall stones. " Although inflammation of 4he gall bladder and gall stones are so common, there is at present no means known of preventing the formation of stones in the gall bladder. That infection starts trouble in the gal] bladder which, in turn, causes the gall bladder to form stones, is generally believed. Should Remove Infection. It is for this reason that any infection present--teeth, tonsils, intestine-- should be removed. A further help in these cases is the proper diet--cutting down particularly on tfll salted, spiced, and preserved meats, fried and greasy foods, spices and condiments, rich pastries, very hot or iced beverages. Light bending exercises, keeping knees straight, stimulate the flow of bile in the liver itself and helps to empty the gall bladder. Frequent emptying of the gall bladder prevents sluggishness and the formation of stones. While many cases do not require operation, the operation gives great relief from symptoms even in elderly patients. It is the length of time the patient has had the condition rather than his age that is most important in estimating the results likely to be obtained by operation. * * * ^ | Pneumonia-- -4 How to Fight It ^ S HEN a child or adult has been lost in the woods during cold or damp weather i( is not starvation that is most feared by the family, but exposure. Why is exposure so often a forerunner of pneumonia? The forces within us which protect us from pneumonia need heat in order to fight off pneumonia organisms, so cold and dampness make the body less able to prevent this infection. If during cold or damp weather or during periods of hard mental and physical work you (or yours) are struck down suddenly with a chill, head cold and a slight cough, it would be well to think about pneumonia, not because you are likely developing an attack of pneumonia, but because chill, cough and slight rise in temperature should put you to bed anyway and thus you are doing the best possible thing to prevent an attack of pneumonia or to fight it successfully, should it prove -tO .be pneumonia. Sadden Chill Symptom. The common symptoms of pneumonia are this sudden chill up and down the back or over entire body, rise in temperature, pain or tightness in the chest, cough which brings up first a clear mucus, then red and finally rusty mucus or sputum. "Once infection starts in, despite the application of heat and rest in bed, the organisms greatly multiply, the lungs become congested, and hiver and prostration follow. The doctor immediately sends a sample of the patient's sputum to a laboratory #here the type of pneumonia becomes known, and, knowing the type, he administers the serum which counteracts that particular type of pneumonia. The patient's temperature drops and becomes normal within 36 hours, and with a proper supply of oxygen, nursing and a week's rest, the cure is effected." The lesson regarding pneumonia a that getting to bed early to save the strength of the heart and having the physician called promptly so that the kind of pneumonia can be discovered early and thus right serum given, is the best protection against a fatal outcome. Sulfapyridine, the new drug, has been shown, to be most effective in preventing the development of pneumonia organisms. * % (RtkaMd by Western Ncwvapef TTlHi J •l$>; Washington Washington, June 19--Any doubt as to the gravity of international affairs and the possible effect on our policies has been dissipated by the resistance of strong Congressional groups to efforts looking to early adjournment. It is significant that the current undercover movement for a concurrent resolution, which would permit the national legislature to function on a limited basis, is meeting with opposition. The theory of those advocating a restricted Senate and House program is easily apparent. They do not want many highly controversial domestic piece* of legislation forced to a vote. With the voter's eyes riveted on their performances of their official duties the bulk of the lawmakers have no illusions as to their ultimate political fate if their constituents assume they are just loafing in awaiting only the disposition of defense measures. It is likely that Congress will arrange to recess for the Republican convention next week. Already many G. O. P. leaders from Capitol Hill have absented themselves in order to participate in pre-convention deliberations. Great interest is manifested in the activities of the platform builders now at work in Philadelphia. Judging from the flavor of last - minute speeches by authorized Republican spokesmeri the defense issues will be featured and questions raised as to the ability of the present Administration to take over such responsibilities. The argument advanced by the minority group is that their opponents have failed in* seven years of management with social and economic problems and by such reasoning could not be entrusted with preparations for or possible participation in a war. Some leaders wsnt emphasis on the singleterm matter to direct public criticism to a possible third termer. The exact nature of the Democratic counter-attack is, of course, not visible at this moment. They are expected to write a platform taking into consideration the planks put forward by their rivals at the Quaker City, the J identity of the G. O. P. standard-bearers and the developments in international affairs in the three week's interval between the two gatherings. As is customary with a party in power, the Democrats will have an opportunity of "pointing with pride" to their accomplishments as servants of paftSdii* the people and otherwise attempt to make a rebuttal to Republican charges of ineptitude and mismanagement, The forces also have some puzzles to solve. Their platform for a ticket headed by others than the President would necessarily differ in many respects to one written around their leader seeking the unprecedented third term. A number of Democratic Senators may prove a thorn in the side of the convention bosses. Senators Wheeler, of Montana, and Clark, of Missouri, are vociferously demanding that- the party should not appear before the electorate as a "war party" showed it was not exactly a partisan issue. Wfhrle the Senate would like to evade voting on the N. L. R. B. amendments, the House, too, is anxious to avoid a show-down on the LaFollette civil liberties bill already sent over from the other chamber. Many Senate changes in the original bill, particularly against alien-workers, are objectionable to the C. I. O. chieftain, but he is expected to swallow these pills so that the principle ^involved may be written into statute at this uwuie me war partv session. i .T.h e La, Follett,e proposal is - ph.« of interna] Wh' may prove costly to essential ih.a.r.a?. ce.to organizing his plant. Back of mony. The President and his "Inner Circle" advisors would like to have the legislators close down the Congressional shop when the defense tax program is out of the way. They are all these attempts to obtain favorable labor union legislation is the tacit recognition that all or many of the gains in social reform may be obliterated in the exigencies of war. Already Army and Navy procurement experts are grumbling about the obaided and abetted by organized labor «stacles to quick supply by reason of lobbies which are on the warpath union rules and regulations.
