It's a fascinating part of the camera hobby--and any camera that has a "time" or "bulb" exposure setting can be used. Exposures are short, because of the modern high speed films now available for amateurs. However, that does not mean you can go out with an Inexpensive camera, and take snapshots anywhere at night. Most night scenes require time exposures of a few seconds up to several minutes, with the camera on a firm, solid support. Even so, these are brief exposures--if you will consider that once it took hours to photograph any after-dark subject. The light varies with each subject, but a little experience enables you to estimate the exposure. With a box camera and high speed panchromatic film, these are some average exposures: Brilliantly lighted strefet scenes, 4 to 6 seconds. Average street scenes, 1 to 8 minutes. Average street scenes with fresh snow on the ground, SO to 90 seconds. Floodlighted buildings, 5 seconds to 1 minute, depending on the brightness of the floodlighting. Klsctr^c ilpt, em-halt second (or about as taat aa you can open and close the shut* ter). This shows only the bright lettering of the sign-- not the surroundings. Moonlight scenes, on a' clear night with full moon--30 minutes for a daylight effect; 15 minutes for a more subdued effect. Halve these exposures when there is fresh snow on the ground. Night views of a city or town, from a hilltop or other vantage point--30 minutes on a moonlight night, to show some detail in landscape and sky. Lights alone will record In much less time. 4 These exposures will also work out satisfactorily for lenses set at f/11, and if you use a larger lent opening, the exposure time can be cut correspondingly. Do not try t» picture moving subjects; and if aft automobile approaches, just hojjtZZ your hand over the lens until thi headlights pa^s out of the scent. You'll enjoy night shooting out* doors. It's not at all difficult--and ~ you'll get unusual pictures that an well worth having, in the album.

Carpenters are still on the job making changes and .repairs. > Very satisfactory progress is being made on the new houses that are now under1 construction in J. C. Holly's Edgewater subdivision on Fox river south of this village. M. L. Worts, local agent for the Sinclair Oil company, met with a very painful injury to his right eye last Saturday. He was engaged in splitting up kindling wood when & piece struck him. . ' Homer E. Clemens* one of our most highly respected and long-time rural residents, passed away very suddenly at his home about two miles south of this village. It is commonly believed that Sir Robert Walpole, once prime minister of England, often said: "Every man has his price." Lord Morley, in his life of Sir Robert Walpole, calls this "a pure piece of misrepresentation." The prime minister, Morley says, often stated that many of the politicians of his day had their price, and told the king once, "As to the revolters, I know the reasons and I know the price of every one of them." The prime minister had too much faith in mankind to believe or ever say that "every man has his price." The idea, however, was expressed before Walpole's day in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, by CasSius, who says: "For who so firm that cannot be seduced?" (Public Ledger--WNU Service.)

X Thursday, October 3, 1940 * Snakes Bring Profit For Girl Collector Young Herpetologist Turns Hobby Into Job, NEW YORK.--Betty Armiento has found it profitable to turn her hobby into a business. The 19-year-old girl, who has been collecting reptiles for the last three years as a hobby, is now selling the snakes she captures to Dr. Raymond Ditmars, curator of the Bronx zoo. At the present Miss Armiento has no competition from members of her sex. Tom-boyish in appearance, she liyps with her parents in the Bronx. Her love for animals and reptiles, the latter in particular, dates back six years, when' her mother opened a small pet shop in the Bronx. The Armientos runva pet store and, when she is not out hunting snakes, the girl is the principal saleswoman. Miss Armiento, who twice has been bitten by non-poisonous snakes, learned the art of catching wptiteS from a friend* of the family. Her principal hunting grounds are the Catskill mountains and the Ramapos around Suffern, N. Y. She sold 100 snakes to the zoo in the last three months, including the dangerous copperheads and rattlers. Non-poisonous snakes, which are harder to catch, are in greater demand than their more deadly brethren, the young herpetologist says. Dr. Ditmars supplies a list of snakes wanted by the zoo and she does her best to fill the order. "This is strictly a business of quantity and quality," she said. "I get $2 for copperheads and as high as $3 for a Pine snake. The price of reptiles fluctuates and never has gone above the $3 limit." Her ambition is to tour the United States in an . automobile collecting snakes for the zoo. If she makes enough money this year she will purchase a car and begin her travels next year. •ht. Wm. M.

Carroll, Attorfiegr Woodstock, Illinois , NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE Girl Hides Her Violin; Runs Away From Home DETROIT.--Playing the violin-- or, to be more specific, learning to play the violin--may be fun for Fritz Kreisler arid Yehudi Menuhin--but it's just a pain in the neck to 11- year-old Ellen Joan Emigh. That was what Ellen told police at 2 a. m. when they had found-her in a theater after her mother had reported her missing since 8 a. m. the previous day. The child disappeared with her violin under Tier arm and a dollar in her purse to pay for her lesson, the mother reported. When police found her, young Ellen was without her instrument and her dollar. The dollar had been spent on bus rides and moving-picture shows after she had decided to abandon hope of becoming a concert violinist, she told police, while the violin itself had been deposited by her secretly behind a counter in a downtown department store. Ellen's mother would have been happy, with her daughter returned, if she could have found that violin. At a late hour it was still missing. Dogs Newest Refugees From German Blitzkrieg HAMILTON, BERMUDA.--Joining the steady flow of Britons t© Bermuda for the duration of the war will be 200 to 300 of Britain's most valuable greyhounds if present negotiations are completed. The owners of Bermuda's only race tracfc have been approached in behalf of the London Greyhound Racing association, through a director of the organization in New York, for information concerning the breeding of greyhounds here.

The association is willing to finance the maintenance of 200 or 300 dogs here and spend money for quarters. The owners of the track here have begun the negotiations to bring the animals to Bermuda. v BIG CATCH CO£N ft Canny Scot Trades Knife For Old Jackknife Island WAUKESHA, WIS.--How an island was traded for a jackknife is revealed in a musty real estate title in the Waukesha county courthouse. The island is that-strip of land in Pewaukee lake about three blocks from the main street of Pewaukee. It is now known as Wilson's island, but it has also been called Big island, Rannie's island and Jackknife island. The latter name comes from the days when Indians still lived around Pewaukee lake and an Indiana Scotchman, who owned the island, sold it to one of his canny countrymen fresh from Glasgow and the Clydeside. The property is shaped like a jackknife, and that is just what George Rannie, the Glasgow man, gave George Donaldson of Indiana for the island. Refugees Like U.
