QUSNAPSHOT PICTURING FLOWERS I" W ' $ >X ' Afohr - Beautiful flower close-ups, such as this, are easy to take if you follow a few simple rules.

IN EARLY summer, our attention naturally turns to flower pictures, few camera subjects are more pleasing, and good flower pictures are not difficult to take, provided you observe a few simple rules. Any camera may be used for picturing flowers, but a focusing model with anastigmat lens is preferable. With a box camera or set-focus folding camera, you will need a portrait attachment Slip this on your lens, and you can take pictures with the camera only about three feet from (he subject The attachment is also taeful for more extreme close-ups with a focusing camera. Plain backgrounds In flower pictures. Use sheets of white, gray, or black, i which you can obtain inexpensively 'at most printing shops or stationery stores. The card is placed behind the flowers you select for a picture. It should be of the correct shade to* afford pleasing contrast Flower pictures should be taken during the two hours after sunrise, and the two hours before sunset Sunlight is soft and pleasing at these hours, but around mid-day it is too harsh for pictures of delicate blooms. ' Use a small lens opening for flower

Laughing Around the World With irvih s. COBS JL ——— 3—.— ■— ■ ■-■■■■—■■- „ „ Asking for the Details By IRVIN S. COBB L ■yOU must have heard of the young woman just out of finishing school who went to the stationery store and purchased a very large order of writing- paper .and pencils and the like, and when the clerk who had waited on her expressed surprise that she should require so great a supply replied sweetly: “Oh, I shall need it all. You know, I’m going to take up writing. I’m going to write a novel.” “What sort of a novel?’’ inquired the salesman. “Well,” Said the expectant author, “it will be about as long as Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables” —only much stronger.” I am not prepared to match this with a little yarn concerning a youth in the Com Belt whose ambitions were equally great From his home in Illinois he wrote to the director of an Eastern art-museum explaining that he felt the call of creation but was undecided yet as to whether he would be a painter or a sculptor. After detailing his symptoms at length, he would up his letter with the following simphq request: “Beaae send me full particulars about art” (AawricM Nm FMtarta SmJ

"close-ups,” and make sure the distance between subject and camera is correct. Film of the panchromatic type is preferable for picturing flowers, especially if they are brightly colored. You can use either a highspeed "pan” film or a fine-grained type. The high-speed film enables you to make shorter exposures, while the fine-grained film yields enlargements of superb quality. Exposure should be ample, rather than too short With high-speed film, try 1/25-second shutter speed at lens opening f. 16. With fine-grained film, try 1/10 second at f.ll, or 1/25 second at f.B. For box-camera pictures, the high-speed film is preferable. Use a firm camera support, such as a box or chair, for any shutter speed longer than 1/25 second. Generally, your camera should be placed or. held at about the level of the flower. Light etpuld come from the side/as > &is emp£ arises the shape of the bloom. Take care that direct light rays do not strike the camera lens. Try to build up an album of flower ( pictures this summer. Practice' makes perfect, and with experiencei you can produce splendid results — 1 well worth your while. ( John van Guilder >

YACHTING* NEWS

In the Labor Day national OneDesign championship races at Milwaukee, Joe Plaskett of the Wawasee Yacht Club, 1938 champion, lost to Charles Landon of the Wolf Lake Yacht Club of Hammond, by fraction of a point in a new type of scoring. Each boat had placed first, second and fifth in the three races. However, Landon got his second before Plaskett did, thus giving Landon the cup. Had the usual type of scoring been used, Landon and Plaskett would have been tied for first place. Ed Dodez of the local club finished in fifth position. On account of the heavy weather, about all of the boats carried two-man crews as well as skippers. Plaskett in his Gloria 111, carried as crew, Dan Auer and Jack Fyock. Ed Dodez in Typhoon II carried June Merriman and Commodore Byron McCammon. Lake Michigan was in a rage, and in one of the races, half of the small yachts capsized and some of the boats suffered broken masts and other rigging. As all of these craft are very buoyant, and will float even if capsized, no serious accidents occurred. Racing Resumed Sept. 10. Racing here at Wawasee will be resumed Sunday, September 10.
