JOHN JACKSON Certified Master Graphoanalyst Dear Dorothy: I work hard all day as a legal secretary. My days are busy from one end to the oth- er and every hour is packed with activity and tension. I go home tired, but, once in bed, I can't go to sleep. I watch the late shows on TV hoping to get sleepy, but I only get wider- awake. I don't udder - stand me. Heaven knows I'm in good health, but I don't close my eyes all night. P.L. Dear P.L. : Sleeping is easier for some people than it is for others. So is playing the banjo or driv- ing a stick shift car. But, it doesn't mean that these things can't be learned. And, you can learn -to go to sleep, too.

You don't like to be taken for granted or used, seen in the long inflexible beginning strokes, and, unfortunately, there's no automatic timer to dim this resentment at night. In fact, it becomes monstrous as your imagination, seen in the large lower loop, enlarges all the happenings. Then, to better bomb your mind, you watch the late TV shows. Nighttime TV is, in no way, meant to be a mind masseuse. Millions of TV dol- lars are spent each year to turn you on — not put you to sleep. If your problems are worth keeping you awake during the night, they're worth solving during the day. If you don't want to do this, then, it's no wonder that they crowd in up- on you when you can't escape to do something else. Why not write off some of your steambefore you go to bed? Get all your thoughts down on paper. Maybe a let- ter to someone. Read it over a couple of times, and you'll find you feel much better. Just be sure, in the morning,, to tear it up in tiny bits and throw it away. And, remember that open eyes all night are always awake. But, closed eyes might just go to sleep. a. • D.J.

An understanding of what "contrast" means and what does, or does not, create con- trast can, therefore, be a long step forward in improving al- most any photographer's work. Contrast can be defined, for all practical purposes, as the subtle differences In tone val- ues in a picture which create the image itself. A picture with too little sep- aration of tones is "flat," or "Muddy," or "gray" — among other terms used to say that the tones in the pic- ture simply seem to "run to- gether." A picture which is too con- trasty might be more un- pleasant with deep dark shadows, virtually no detail — or color — in highlights and very few gradations of tone We Want You to Call For ((c4sIJMEr?

Contrast in photography comes from a number of dif' ferent sources — and the first, of course, is the light- ing. The low light of morning and evening creates sharp differences in tones from highlight to deep shadow but also creates very tiny shad- ows and highlights in tex- tured objects which give a very pleasing feeling of third dimension on a flat piece of photographic paper. Low lights, cross lights, and backlights while appear- ing quite contrasty to the eye may actually be "flat" be- cause light is reflected into shadows until such light works beautifully with almost any film. The real contrast comes as brilliant sunlight climbs CHILD'S PLAY Seeds make novel vase decorations By GEETS BUMMER & POLLY HUNTSINGER A person who eats very lit- tle is often said to have a "bird -like appetite." Actual- _ ly, that expression should be used to describe someone who eats a great deal. In relation to their size, and especially compared to human beim,' birds eat a tremendous amount. Perhaps people got into the habit of saying this because it is easier to carry a package of birdseed home from the mar- ket whereas a sack of dog or cat food is much heavier. Seriously, though, while it is true a bird eats a small quan- tity at a timer -if you watch a pet canary; parakeet or wild bird for any length of time, you will notice how frequently it finds food. " ,The :still t ;bila that ha3 Veen observe is me bee hg- mingbird of Cuba. It is only two inches long and weighs one tenth of an ounce, which is hard to imagine. The largest bird is the African ostrich which has been known to weigh 300 pounds and be eight feet tall. The whooping crane has the distinction of being the United States' tallest bird as it reaches five feet. If you do have a pet bird, it probably won't mind too ,much if you dip into its food supply, or perhaps you can get an extra package at the market to make a novelty project that is both useful and pretty.. • The other material needed, aside from white glue, is a pretty bottle. In fact, the bot- tle doesn't even need to be "pretty" to begin with. Emp- ty orange juice or milk bottles will do for a large decorated vase. Plastic medicine bottles are also suitable. If you want an exceptionally pretty bud vase, watch when the last. drop is spooned from a flavor container such as vanilla or peppermint extract. All you need do is use a pipe cleaner or brush to glue paint a design onto the container. Then sprinkle birdseed over the. entire surface. Work over newspaper so you can shake off the excess that doesn't stick .and use it again. All sorts of variations are possi- ble. Dip the rim, after apply- ing (glue so it has a boder, •arontid it. Both- the top;,' bottom can be decorated.' Fo personalize the container, outline your initials or those of the person who may receive such a gift. Other seeds and grains can also be used, provided they are tiny and blend with the bottle's shape and size. Mus- tard, sesame, caraway and poppy seeds make excellent contrasts when mixed With bird seeds.

Much of the dispute among photographers about their fa- vorite a-vorite films is based upon. contrast — and the kind of pictures a photographer likes to make. Because the ,selec- tion of Olin can make a differ- ence in the `amount of con- trast two photographers, us- ing two different types of film will get. The slower flims are, gen- erally, more contrasty.' They are designed to be used where light is ample and generally fairly well balanced,, and' this. applies, actually to both color . and monochrome. They will record enough detail in shad- ows without "washing out" the highlights when light is plentiful and fairly flat.
