Many people can't wait to double -fault, Their service deliveries oddly re- semble the fanatical slot ma." chine pryer who cannot rest until he loses. Impatient tennis players seem to be in a harry to get their first serve out of the way so they can get the point started with the second. All intelligent players THINK before they start the point. They take \the. golfer's example, standing over a dif- ficult putt for five minutes be- fore . attempting it. Tennis players should imitate this type of concentration. The serve is the only stroke you can take your time with -- so don't let anyone hurry you. You can increase your level of consistency by concentrat- ing before each serve and cre- ating the sante set of stimuli — like the basketball player shooting a free throw. He goes through the same set of stimuli everytimte he shoots the ball. He'll look at the bas- ket for a couple seconds — bounce the ball four times. and, in cadence, say "I can make it." Then he'll take a deep breath, blow out all the • air — and shoot it. `y toc ate the same envirolvMent,for yourself each tln*e you eerve, You should start from the-. same position and go through a little nervous routine, ,like the basketball player fore you begin the =Um. The more frequently the exact slit of stimuli or environtinent presented, the better the chance that the desired , sponse will occur. Start your motion from balanced, comfortable lam* tion. Hold your' arms at waist' level and make sure you are relaxed. Don't grip the racquet handle — rest your' hand on it whiles you cradle the throat of the racquet With your left. Start the motion with your . weight on the back foot, .Lift your left heel off the ground. , Your feet should be spread a little wider than shout' . width apart. A line that touchesyour toes should point in the direction' of the service court. Now look across the net and imagine yourself hitting the serve you want. Be positive! Think the ball to the target. Now bounce the ball on the court four times and say, "I can make it." Concentrate go- ing slowly as you drop your hands down together ... then hit it!! BRIGHT EYES — This picture by David Myers, Chicago, won a Kodak college scholar- ship for a high school senior who has learned how to use backlight, either natural or arti- ficial. Notice the lack of clutter in the background, and the use of a hole in a fence to create composition. There would have been even more sparkle in the eyes if there had been a flash on camera.

He has learned the necessi- ty for accurate exposure of film, to avoid cluttered back- grounds and awkward poses, and now knows that a really good expression can offseta lot of faults, like flash shad- ows which are far too strong. And, if he has really had fun making pictures it proba- bly has turned into a "fun game" too for the kids. So, it should now be possi- ble to do a little more posing, take advantage of lighting, still without restricting the , movements of young models so much .that it is no longer fun for them. Still with flash -on -camera try draping an unironed sheet over the back of a chair and set it on the "shadow side," the one opposite the ' flash, and out of the range of the Serious earthquake forecast for Peking PEKING — Chinese au- thorities, basing their predic- tions on scientific observa- tions and reports of unusual natural phenomena, have forecast a major earthquake in the Peking, Tientsin area sometime in the nest„year. In 1969, on the day before a strong tremor in the Pohai Gulf, workers in the Tientsin zoo observed "the Tibetan yak sprawling on the ground. The panda held his head be- tween his paws, screaming, and a swan came out of the water and laid down on the ground." This year lizards have left their hibernation locations two months earlier than usual. Cold test proves aspirin not too hot CHICAGO — Research workers at the University of Chicago's Abraham School of Medicine describe aspirin as "disappointing in the amount of benefit" derived in treat- ing the common cold and say the drug makes an infected person more apt to ' `sh cold germs. Aspirin was of some help in relieving inflamed eye tissue, relieving headache and ung, decreasing nasal discharge and 'generally made sufferers feel less ill. — camera lens so it is not in the picture. The sheet will reflect a surprising amount of light back into the dark shadow `particularly if the model is away from the wall about six feet. Flash tends to be "flat light." The roundness, the modeling, of a face. improves as the light is moved forward from the lens and toward the subject. So, the next step is to put your flash on a light stand or other support — off the camera — but still- using i sheet, a large piece of white cardboard, or some other kind of reflector. Another technique for im- proving- light is to turn the "shadow side" of the model toward a - brightly lighted window, so that the back and side of the head is well - lighted, then use a flash ei- ther on, or off the camera, to expose the remainder of the face. Strong back and side light- ing is particularly effective for children's portraits, and, again while violating the rules, is often particularly ef- fective with dark back- grounds in a studio. But much the same thing can be done even more effec- tively by making pictures of people outdoors — whether children or adults. Choose a "cloudy bright" day if possi- ble or seek, a slightly shaded spot surrounded with sun- shine but pouring in from rel- atively one position, like in the late afternoon or early morning. You can turn your subject so the sun is to the back and side and thus eliminate that tendency for the eyes to squint. Now use your flash to produce normal exposure in the face that is facing the camera. This outdoor technique has become so popular with pro- fessionals -- because the pic- tures are so consistently good — that many now havE favor- ite spots in a nearby pack, or have actually created out- door backyard studios of their own for making this kind of picture. And that leads to one more step which the professionals have taken 'which, unfortu- nately, isn't available rou- tinely for anyone using a 35- mm focal, plane camera. The professiotlal will speed up his shutter to at least 1-500 of a second, and opens his lens perhaps to f5.6 (depending upon his film), leakring every- thing out -of -focus in the back- ground while flashing his pic- ture.

Only asmall amort is needed --sugar fakes up one per cent of the'total ingredients of "Flower Care". The sugar packs an added bonus—red roses don't take on a bluish 'tinge with age if they get sugar. The third ingredient of "Flower Care" is a derivative of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It helps keep the flower healthy and growing. Buds continue to- unfold and reach the size they would attain if left on the plant.
