You are enmeshed in a net of continual postponement. And, as you postpone, you justify your excuses, seen in the loop on the left side of the o's and a's. Unfortunately, you are by- passing your determination. At one time, your excuses and broken promises could have been legitimate, • since it's your nature to keep very busy, seen in the long lower loop on y. Your forward slant grabs hold of that loop and pulls you along even faster. So, a lack of time to get it all done has been a factor. You had to put the "now" things ahead,- and defer those that could wait to a more conven- ient time.

Apparently what makes the difference aS far as the decay rate is concerned, is not the degree of civilization — but the foods eaten. Primitive people usually eat foods low on sweets and so have. less tooth decay. Also, the so- called primitives eat many "detergent" foods that require through chewing, resulting in natural cleansing of the teeth and gums. Modern man, because of his diet, requires additional effort to help keep his mouth clean. He must also strengthen his muscles used for chewing through exercise. Among the adjucts or tools that can be used to help modern man are tooth brushes, medicated tooth picks, water sprays or irrigators, dental floss or wool, tooth pastes and the most recent innovation — chewing gum. and success.

CHILD'S PLAY Doll furniture is fascinating. By BUROKER & HUNTSINGER Nearly a dozen pages of "The World Book Encyclo- pedia" deal with the subject of dolls, and any public li- brary has numerous volumes on this centuries-old play ob- ject. Doll clothes and, of course, doll houses and the furniture in them, are equally fascinat- ing subjects- which you may wish to explore. Information about their history and un- usual features Ire available and inviting. Making miniature furni- ture can also be fun. Materi- als needed to create pieces, as shown in the accompany- ing illustration, are surpris- ingly few as well as inexpen- sive. Small size pocket safety matchboxes can be bought at supermarkets in packages which ' r 20 T. - This is jus exact num . or the ur furniture items pi tur• The first step, naturally, is to empty the containers and see that all matches are put away in a safe place. Then, start making the sofa. The first thing to do is cut a strip of cardboard twice the width of one of the little boxes and three tunes its length. Paste this to the bottoms of three. \ which have been glued to- gether.

If it hasn't been out of the case for Months, the shutter is apt to. be stiff and sluggish -;- and there will definitely be • dust that can cause all kinds of problems.

Some photographers even use a vacuum cleaner -- but very, very carefully! Be- cause too much force can damage a fragile shutter. Then check the battery on of the cardboard so it will form the "upholstered back." A colored or decorated piece of paper will resemble fabric as will a similar strip pasted to the three box tops. Two more boxes, each glued on the long side to the bottom, make the "overstuffed sofa arms." In the same way, three more boxes with a cardboard . back and seat soon become a comfy -looking living room chair. The miniature desk and chest of drawers use the re- maining containers. Attach No. 3 round head paper fasteners, or, even thumb tacks, to the sliding part of the boxes before assembling them. Handy knobs or drawer pulls have now been added. Three matchboxes stacked on either side, then glued to- gether and topped with card- board make a handsome desk. The remaining five con- tainers, once stacked and glued, become a storage chest which can actually be useful for storing various small knickknacks such as tiny doll clothes. Whether used in an actual doll house or used decorative- ly on a shelf that displays other souvenir miniatures, one can expect to receive sin- cere compliments, even if they are accompanied by puns about your "matchless furniture." PREPARED FOR SHOT—It is unlikely that a traveler will be along this way again soon, and it is nice to know that a camera and all materials are working well for pictures like this one. And that takes testing before a trip starts.

Ikea shit roll, from film that you ea- pect to take on your trip, and rake some test exposures around the house. Use of a 20 - exposure, 35 --nn firm can save plenty of money, and avoid a lot of disappointment. And, the "tests" just might produce some family pictures that you might not take other- wise -- and will really value in years to come. Don't expect to "pick up" film along the way as you need it, if you're serious about wanting good pictures. Film is just not that uniform from the same manufacturer — and you never know under what condition it has been shipped or stored. So, buy all the film you think you'll need — then, dou- ble your estimate, and most photographers will come out about right, because they'll go ahead and make pictures without worrying about run- ning out of film. Check -to see that it is all the same "emul- sion number," which is printed on the package along with the expiration date. NOW, Whin you tit, n .

Protect your 'film and camera from the elements ' but you need not ¢'sbaby" it, because a camera is tougher than you think. Treat it fl8 you would a fine watch which you wouldn't leave out on the beach in the sand and sun, and protect It from dust and moisture.. Many photographers, par- ticularly those who travel by automobile, find an inexpen- sive plastic container sup- posed to bean ice bucket, or a cold drink box, provides just the insulation needed for all of that spare filen you're tak- ing along. Take out what you need for a day of shooting, put in the shot film, and close the box at night when it is cooler. In an emergency throw a blanket over film or camera if it is necessary to leave them in a car that is going to get plenty hot in the summer time. And then, if you do get home with some film lett over, store it in the refrigera- tor until you are ready to start on another trip — or do some shooting near your home.
