the high lights will take care of themselves.” That, however, does not mean always to expose for a very deep shadow, but, fn general, to expose to record detail in the intermediate shadows. Another way to accentuate depth in a photograph, especially in scenic views, is to include a distinctive foreground object, which emphasizes the diminished size of objects in the distance, thus creating "depth.” A human figure or tree, in the foreground at the right or left, will often serve the purpose and at the same time add interest. Another way is to choose a vantage point which will give the picture a foreground "frame.” Such a frame often serves where long shadows and distinctive foreground objects are absent. Foreground trees with lacy overhanging boughs are splendidly useful as frames. They are full of beauty in themselves, and. if in the print they show completely in silhouette. that is to say. in dark outline without interior detail, the effect is often all the better. Everything beyond Is accented by the dark tone that strikes its deep note in front. Similarly a foreground archway in a bridge or other structure is not only an attractive element itself, but helps the eye to move forward into the picture to the scene beyond.

He has been escort to any" number of beauties, including Whitney Boumo, Mona Maris, Judith Wood and a young English actress named Leueen McGrath. Funny how Gable affects them. A little stenographer named Frances Lockett, who works in the Warner Brothers property department, was driving over Cahuenga Pass towards the studio when she saw Clark Gable in a car behind her. He gave her the horn to move over, but, instead, she kept weaving back and forth so that the star could not pass. Later in the day. someone tipped Gable as to the identity of the erratic woman driver. Pretending to be very angry, he paid the girl a visit and, until she reads it here, she will not know that the bawling out was a rib. Here and there in movieland. ...

FAMILIES GIVE DATA ON LOSS OF 0. S. JOBS Report To Labor Dept. Shows Few Husbands Or Wives Find Work Washington, (U.R) Results of !a survey to determine the effect of a clause In the Economy Act of 1932 providing for dismissal of either husband or wife when both held government jobs in reducing personnel have been made public, i showing interesting facts. Persons who lost their jobs larg 1 ely were among the lower paid employes, the Government Worker's Council reported to the Labor Department. Os 643 reporting their basic salaries, slightly more than one-fourth had received SI,OOO or more, but not in excess of SI,BOO. More than two-thirds of those reporting had been in government service for 10 years or longer. Nearly one-tenth of the 695 reporting age were 50 or older, larger proportions of the dismissed men than of the dismissed women having reached such ages. Practically 38 per cent of those reporting were at least 40 years old, and nearly 30 per cent in addition were 35 and under 40.

More than three , fourths of these separations were i of married women, the remainder | being married men. In actual numbers the separations were heav-'i lest, in the Treasury Department, the Veterans’ Administration, and the Department of Commerce. i Salaries of half of all those separated were obtained In the survey and these showed that 80 per cent of the dismissed employes had , basic salaries or less than $2,000. , Fsmily Problem Faced As to resignations of husband or l wife, the report said: | ‘‘The problem as to which of the two was to resign—wife or husband— Involved much consideration of family plans and responsibilities. In many cases no choice wus offered the couple; for some where the choice wus given, the notice was so abrupt as to make impossible an opportunity to see which one could obtain outsid<( employment. "In many cases the wife resigned to save her husband's job. though her department had neither asked for nor desired her dismissal. Sortie reports show that the resignation of the husband was decided upon because usually it is easier for a man than for a wo- ■ man to find work.” Salaries Are Compared Comparison of salaries of husband and wife at time of dismissal showed that 72 women dismissed > wore getting a higher salary than their husbands. 92 wives had the
