I DO YOU ever carry your camera into the kitchen? Next time you want to take pictures indoors, and run out of subjects, try exploring the realm of stove, icebox and pandry. It’s a happy hunting-ground. J Almost everything in a kitchen is la camera subject. The icebox and ~the china and aluminumware are a imine of still-life possibilities, and there are opportunities galore for “off-guard” pictures whenever a meal is being prepared. The mixing of a cake can be a , picture, if the big mixing bowl is snapped from a high angle with two hands busy with a spoon in the creamy batter. Mother breathlessly testing the cake with a broomstraw is an opportunity for a “candid” shot. There are pictures, general dr close-up, when the cake is being iced. There is a splendid close-up in jthe cutting of the first slice, with the gleaming long-bladed knife going through the fluffy loaf. A pile of shining pots and pans may make a splendid picture, if the photographer chooses a proper angle and works out a “dramatic” lighting. China, wet and glistening in a drain rack, is material for pictures. Even the dishpan,, foamy with suds as two hands squeeze out the dishrag above it, is a picture opportunity. The icebox yields eggs and vegetables that can be worked into interesting “still-life” studies. A series of “busy hands" pictures is well worth trying—hands peeling a potato, with a long curb of peel hanging; hands polishing silverware or drying glassware; hands turning a brown pancake on a griddle or lifting a waffle out of the iron—hands doing a thousand and one things! Picture-making in most kitchens is simple, because the room Is usual-

"W- W V , ; * -•'j Children busy In the kitchen are always appealing picture subjects. Snaps like this abound in any home. ly small and walls and ceiling are generally light in color. The camera should be loaded with supersensitive film, and three large amateur flood bulbs used in cardboard reflectors. The proper distance from bulbs to subject is four to six feet With this amount of light, one can take snapshots with a box camera at its largest lens opening, or use 1/25 second at f.B or f.ll lens opening with cameras so marked. For closeup pictures, a simple portrait attachment must be used with most cameras. . John van Guilder, i

GOOD HUMOR AIDS IN SAFE DRIVING Keeping in a good humor is a good way to stay out of automobile accidents, George Barton, head of the Chicago Motor Safety department, declared today in pointing out that drivers who carry a chip on their shoulders are the ones who most frequently figure in collisions. “Grouches, pugilistic drivers with a ‘mad’ on, and nervous ones who are easily irritated constitute the strongest candidates for accidents,” he said. “A more healthy attitude is to view the other fellow who cuts in too sharply in front of you, or the one who shifts into second gear and slips through a stop ngn and frightens you half out of your wits, as an ignoramus who has made a slip and will have to pay the price some day. “And consider yourself lucky that you didn’t have to pay part of that price by sharing a collision with him!” DETAILS OF FRESH EGG LAW MADE CLEAR Indiana’s voluntary “Fresh Egg” law, enacted by the last session of the General Assembly as an attempt to provide away for consumers to obtain fresh eggs, was explained recently as to how wholesalers and retailers may cooperate. When the law becomes effective August 14 or thereafter, grocerymen and retailers may sell eggs one of two ways, explain members of the Indiana egg board who are administering the jaw. If a retailer desires to sell eggs as “fresh eggs,” he must first apply to the state egg board for a permit for each store and then the eggs he sells as fresh eggs will be subject to an official inspection as a check to determine if the product qualifies for the minimus luality standards as set up by the board. No permit will be neccessary for him to sell eggs “as eggs,” but he will not be permitted under the law to advertise his product “as fresh eggs or sell under words of similar import such as ‘new laid eggs,’ ‘strictly fresh eggs,’ 'hennery eggs,’ 'country eggs,’ 'guaranteed eggs’ or any other term implying freshness. . . ” His eggs must be sold “os eggs” with no reference to quality and size. Wholesalers dealing in “fresh eggs” are required to follow a procedure similar to that of the retailer. It will be necessary to obtain a permit which requires the eggs to be subject to inspection. Members of the board which will have its headquarters in Lafayette are: Thad Macy, Spencer, president, representing the Indiana Farm Bureau; Sidney P. Smyth, Morgantown, vice-presi-dent, representing the State Poultry Association of Indiana; E. R. Menefee, Purdue University, recording secretary, representing the Agricultural Experiment Station; Walter Greenough, Indianapolis; representing the Indiana Chain Store Council; and Clarence E. Schmidt, Crown Point, representing the Indiana Retain Grocers and Meat Dealers Association. J Information regarding applications for permits to sell fresh eggs may be obtained from the egg board, Lafayette, Indiana. While Mrs. J. W.
