WAR COSTS MONEY:! Without aJ dissenting vote, the House of Representatives passed last week aynilitary appropriation bill in the amount of 42 billions of dollars. It \yu> the largest appropriation of moij/y ever voted at one-time by*any legislative body since the beginning of time. It was more money than the total cost to this country 6f World War No. 1. If Messrs. Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito don't think that the people of the United States are united in their d« • termination to wipe them off the face of the earth,they had better take a squint at that vote of 352 to 8 and do-a little deep pondering. Of course money itself doesn't win a war. But means to get each man in the skill Which he is best qualified to do, so that every mart will be working at his Thn skill. The second/phase is to train new people into specialized opei t atiohs, so that one man will be doing just one thing. War contractors have instructors working in over plants. To take care of, the 10,000'. 097 m«n and women who will be added to industry means that about 800.000 men in this country will have the job of breaking in the neW' workers.

So far they have reached 80 000 of the -§00 000 who should be reached by the end of the year. *•* As a probable prelude to more* restriction ^ on - private spending, it is kpown that the gov^nment is about to launch several new studies.

And now tbat the season's srep of puppies, kittens, and other young animals--and fowl--has arrived, it won't be long before you •tart shooting them--with a cam- •ra. of course. Here's what I suggest First, work alone wi^ti the animal; or. if •ot atone, with just one assistant at the most. .When you attempt picture making with too many people^ around "it may prove di»-. tracting to your subject, v Next, you'll soon learn that4it will make things easier for you if you' place the anima., in sueh'a position that he f-an't move about too much For instance if puppies and kittens «re\placed on top of a box or stool which'is high enough so they are reluctant to jump down, you'll find It's sot so hard to catch themin * cute or interesting pose. Point three, in the technique of animal photography, is to do your picture making at Ihe subject's eyelevel-- as in our illustration. Animals viewed from above, even from our own eye-level, do not often make pieasing pictures. Usually they appear too foreshortened. They normally look much more natural, when photographed from ^a low point of view. \ Fourth, keep your backgrounds, simple. Our illustration probably would have been improved somewhat if the area beliind-thi-subject wasn't cluttered up with branches, ; Outdoors there's no better backdrop than the sky. Use it ofteh. Finally, I'd suggest that you ni»y a fairly high shutter speed--1/100 second or higher is advisable---to" stop aqy unexpected movement on the part of your subject If your camera hasn't that fast a shutter, you'll still be able/to make fltat _ rate animal pictures if you do your snapshooting during your pet'a quieter momenta.
