HOW TO GUT OUT ALL YOUR ALIBIS

Be Prepared for Pictures And Experiment With

Flash Exposures.

By FRANK WIDNER

Whatever you might think, there still is plenty of camera material at hand to be photographed. If ever you have found yourself looking at a series of prize-winning

* prints that have such eye-appeal as

to make them winners and then wonder why you ean’t take such shots, stop and think. There isn’t a thing in the world to prevent you from shooting just as appealing a picture as the next fellow. Analyze your alibis and see what happens. For instance, you've admired many pictures of youngsters romping in the home living room, cutting up in all kinds of cute ways. And that new baby makes many a cute expression that you would give Joost anything to have recorded on

Happen Every Day

These things happen every day. ‘Why don’t you photograph them? For one thing, do you keep your camera in a handy place, loaded with film and with your flash equipment close by so that you can be ready at a moment’s notice to grab it and shoot? : 1 If we are going to take more and more inside shots and expect to get results, then we must rely on good - light. ‘The pictures we speak of aren't going to be waiting forever. The picture must be taken at the time the exact pose you have been looking for occurs. That is one reason why you can't be fussing around setting up lights and other equipment. It’s a case of reach, focus and ‘shoot. Preparedness is a great virtue as far as taking pictures is concerned.

Have You Jitters?

Maybe it isn’t a case of not being prepared. Possibly you are one of those camera fans who have the jitters about flash photography. Maybe those charts and calculations get you down. If that is the case try this experiment: Pick a likely spot in your house with a simple background and park mother with her knitting or sister dressing her doll or brother doing his home work—any theme you would like to have for a picture. Make your pictures at eight feet. Shoot at F/8 and 1/100, at F/11 and 1/100, at F/16 and 1/100—just three bulbs in the interest of learning how to use flashbulbs. Finish the rest of the roll out-of-doors and then take a look at the negatives and see which exposure is best. Use that as a guide and if you make another picture at & greater distance, open up a little. If you shoot lighter subject matter at the same distance, close down a little. You may not get as even exposure on the roll as’you do with a meter out-of-doors, but you won't be as far off as you think you will,

SET ROCHESTER STEAM HEARING

PSC to Hear Complaints Tomorrow on Shutting

Off Downtown Heat.

The fight between 100 prominent Rochester, Ind. citizens and the Public Service Co. of Indiana over whether the utility should be allowed to discontinue supplying steam heat to the Rochester business section, was set today by the state public service commission for a final hearing at 10 a. m, tomorrow. The final hearing was to have been held today but no Rochester citizens were here to testify. The state commission in 1938 authorized the utility to discontinue the steam heat service as of May 15, 1942, which is tomorrow. But residents of Rochester contend the war situation makes it impossible for them to install heating plants and that the utility should be ordered tc continue its services.

INDIANA BUYS 37% OF MAY BOND QUOTA

Reports from half of the state’s 117 war bond units today seemed to indicate that Indiana had purchased more than 37 per cent of its May bond quota in the first nine days of the month. The quota has been set by the treasury department at $12,894,000.

Several units in the state already have surpassed their May quota. Included in this group are East Chicago, Boone county, Bicknell and Switzerland county. Other units have reported sales of 50 per cent of their quotas. They include: Adams, Daviess, Fayette, Franklin, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Marshall, Morgan, Owen, Pulaski, Ripley, , Spencer, Tipton, Warren, Warrick, Wells and White counties.

Solemn Induction Services

Held at Medical Center

By VICTOR PETERSON It was the perfect convocation day, and. war seemed far away as the individuals, the couples and the groups wandered slowly in the tree shade and strolled out on the green of the quadrangle west of James Whitcomb Riley hospital to take their places. But the bearing and the faces of those in the academic-army processional at the I. U. medical center was grim. War was here —on every mind, ip every heart. Yesterday afternoon saw the in-

duction of the 47 medical and den-

tal officers and the 72 nurses into the armed services as members of the 32d General hospital ‘sponsored by Indiana university. And freshman, junior and senior student nurses in their starched pink dresses and crisp white aprons and caps hurriedly ushered latecomers to their seats. Deep solemnity marked the occasion as Dr. W. D. Gatch, dean of the Indiana university school of medicine and hospitals, delivered the welcome and the Most Rev. Joseph. E. Ritter intoned the invocation. A brisk breeze whipped across the quadrangle, rustled the starched uniforms and flipped the hems of the academic robes as Dr. William Lowe Bryan, president emeritus of Indiana university, stood straight in his years to utter the stark reality, “America has never been ready at the beginning of any war.” - Americans so desperately hate war that -evasion, at all .costs, is attempted, he i “But as Napoleon said,” . Bryan continued, “‘victory comes to those who are strongest where the fighting is.’ And the enemy was not the strongest in the battle of the Coral sea.” America is getting stronger, America is waking up and Americans will be the strongest where the fighting is, he prophesied. “No longer are the oceans our protection, but veritable highways for our enemies,” stated Dr, Bryan. “We who stay at home must be as ready to sacrifice as are those at the front, We must not desert them.” And he concluded, “We fight now because we must.”

And the wind whipped the six

SERVICE PAY OF $50 GETS NEW SUPPORT

WASHINGTON, May 14 (U, P.), —An overwhelming house vote, 331

to 28, for raising the pay of army |

privates and apprentice seamen to

help win senate support for the increase. The senate has approved a boost to $42 a month, and before yesterday’s house vote had indicated it would not approve a higher rate. But influential members of the senate military affairs committee, from which will be drawn the conference group, now expressed approval of the house increase. Some objected to it, but others conceded that the house vote was so large as virtually to assure senate agreement. As passed by the senate the bill proposed $42 a month for privates in the army and the corresponding lowest grade in the other branches of the service. At present privates get $21 a month for the first four months, $30 after that, and $40 after a year’s serevice. The house amendment would start all service men at a flat $50 monthly. Chairman Robert R. Reynolds (D. N. C) of the senate military affairs committee said he personally would be willing to vote soldiers and sailors $100 a month. “It would tend to ward off a bonus after the war,” he said, “and it also would help take care of their wives and dependents.”

OTTAWA, May 14 (U. P.).—The enemy submarine that sank two ships Monday in the St. Lawrence river has been sunk or escaped to the sea, it was believed today. Apparently no other ship has been sunk in the river, though Navy Minister Angus MacDonald, in announcing the second sinking yesterday, reaffirmed his intention not to reveal such attacks in the future. Sunk in One Locality He said he made the exception in the case of the second ship, because the sinkings were in the same locality and at the same general time and could be considered part of the same episode, It was reported from points zlong the river that 72 to 89 survivers had been landed. Forty-two were saved from the first ship, a fireighter into which two torpedoes smashed and which sank in 20 minutes. The remainder obviously were from the second ship. T. L. Church, a conservative of Toronto, demanded to know where the navy was and suggested that German submarines were operating from “deep inlets” in the Free French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, off the Newfoundland coast, in the mouth of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. |

That was the story told today by survivors of three British destroyers—the Lively, Kipling and Jackal —which were sunk Monday afternoon in the eastern Mediterranean. “It was one of the fiercest air attacks we have ever seen in the Mediterranean,” one survivor said. “Some of the crewmen were sunk
