School teachers will face a tremendous task as they start combating the forces of negligence and carelessness which brought about the appalling toll of 14,779 dead and 59,116 maimed children under the age of 15 throughout the Unit- ’ ed States last year. 1 McMillen, who are enjoying a trip to Labrador and .-.titer spots where 1 the temperature is comfortable during this season of the year, is that they will return the evening of SepItermer 1 and are having a most, delightful time. Marion Feasel spent the day in j Muncie where he looked after de-, tails pertaining to his teacher's' job. His place as supervisor at I the city swimming pool was filled I by Lowell Smith today. W.

Mr. Brown is prin-> cipal of the Decatur high school. • Rev. Father Joseph J. Seimetz 1 | has returned from Fond Du Lac, I ■ Wis.. where he visited the convent I |of St. Agnes. He also enjoyed a couple days fishing in the Wiscon- 1 sin fishing territory. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Koontz and j Mrs. Jene Smith of South Whitley ’ visited here last evening with rel-. atives. Prosecutor Arthur E. Voglewede i and city attorney John L. DeVoss f are expected home this evening i from Indianapolis, where they at-, tended the national convention of I I the Young Democrats. Frank Burns, chief engineer at 1 i the city light and power plant took ; his vacation this week. He and I ' Mrs. Burns visited in Latayette | and at Delphos.

Jam-! ison, principal of the laboratory school at Indiana State Teachers ' College, and co-author with Flor- • i ence Nelson of the National Safe- ' ty Council and Raymond E. Sparks of Wyoming Seminary of “Safety Through the Year,” finds them encouraging for they actually repreI sent a decline in mortality and injury. Dr. Jamison points out that since public school education was adopt-1 ed as the means of combat a-' gainst the carnage taking place in ' every community, the national toll 1 has been cut approximately 8,500 1 per year. With Indiana, and other states, joining the offensive through emphasis of safety in the school curriculum, the toll will be cut still more. j Accidents in traffic, drowning, ’ ber. ■ Mrs. M. E.

GUILD,. * IT'S UP TO YOU .■ J| Wei I j TSk » 'AM. f O ’I Mfeßl It’s the man behind the camera that counts. This picture, for example, was snapped with an inexpenaive and simply operated camera.

IT’S a Joy to own a fine precision camera with a fast lens and shutter. No one will deny that. Such cameras are versatile and open the way for picture taking under many conditions. Extremely fast action holds no terror for them. They laugh at poor light. If you want to specialize on speed photography or indoor ; shots without special illumination, or shoot under adverse conditions in genial, a precision-built, ultra ! fast lens camera is the thing to own. If, hewever, you want a camera to snap pictures under ordinary conditions, a simple, inexpensive one will serve admirably, afford a lot of pleasure and, as far as recording the subject is concerned, will make average snapshots Just as well as the more elaborate type. Remember, I am referring to snapshooting under ordinary conditions. Artistic composition, shooting to capture fascinating and artistic ■hadows — which always add so much to a picture, Interest appeal ' and lighting are strictly up to you. ; There isn't a camera made at any I price that can tell you how, when or where to make a picture of rare quality and appeal, but experience will teach much. The fact that an unusual, interestcompelling snapshot was taken with a "tricky” ca®ara does not signify

.en from Nelson, Jamison. Sparks, Book company.) I burns, and falls killed more perI sons between the ages of three ' and twenty than any disease last I year. The national safety council. ( through Its accident reporting sysj tem, tabulated a total of 3,000,000 , pupil-days of absence caused by accidents, major and minor. This is the equivalent of 17,000 pupils for a full year. Teachers in the classroom cannot hope to help children directly to avoid accidents, Dr. Jamison explains, but they can supply the j statistical information which will; acquaint them with the gravity of • the problem, and lead them to 1 combat it both as positive agents 1 for safety influencing others and as constant protectors for them-1 selves. This probably will be the ; keynote of Indiana's ambitious program in the schools beginning j this September. Monday: Ages and Accidents. legislators at the end of this session of 229 days. President Roosevelt was bellev- 1 ed to be considering the Novem- , I ber session of congress to confront , ■ legislators again with much of the | business they so far tjave refused i 1 to transact at his request. Mr. Roosevelt has avoided sdVeral opportunities to deny a special session was among the possibilities : j Some actions of his legislative leaders have indicated such strategy may be employed. < One bill remains to be passed by the house before congress can go home and there are two conference reports on further advanced legislation to be disposed *of today. The conference reports deal with the low-cost housing bill

that the same picture could not have been snapped equally as well With a simple camera by the same per- > son. If a certain picture to be taken should be snapped at f.ll with a shutter speed of 1/25 of a second, It might take an expert to determine which of two prints of this subject was taken with a beginner’s type of camera and which with one of the type used by the experts. “ So much depends on the person behind the camera. If you will make a study of pictures appearing in magazines, newspapers and pictorial books you will learn much about the fundamentals of good picture making. You will find pictures of gardens, buildings, homes, people, animals and pets, close-ups and, in fact. Just about every type of picture you will ever want to make. Study these pictures and note carefully the differept angles from which some of them are taken. Study the lighting, the shadows and the very natural appearance of people in many of the pictures. You will soon develop an “eye for pictures” and when you do you will find that even your inexpensive camera will produce the kind of pictures you thought were possible only with an expensive instrument. * So you see, much depends on the man or woman behind the camera.

Junked for this session are supreme court reorganization, wage and hours legislation, crop surplus I control, crop insurance, the regional planning und control bill for i water power and other resources, ' und the bill to authorize Mr. j Roosevelt to reorganize the executive departments. Other legislation will be delayed or lost by adjournment today, but the foregoing represent major new deal I projects which a suddenly emboldened congress refused at this session to enact. A crackling, snapping white I house whip failed at this session to force that legislation to enactment or to avert other bills to which Mr. Roosevelt objected. ■—o * CONGRESS By UNITED PRESS I • • Senate: Considers conference report en housing and third deficiency appropriation bills and minor legislation 1 House: Considers conference reports on housing and third deficiency appro ' priation bills and mines’ legislation 0 CHINESE AND JAP i iconttnued from wage one) i it again.
