The "lake" is a ,mirror. AS ALMOST every motion pin - tare goer knows, the Hollywood *tidies are continually fooling us these days with scenes photo- graphed in miniature, such as a vil- lage street, a castle in epain, a rural winter snow scene, a ship at sea, an airplane wreck and what not else. So cleverly are these miniature "sets" designed and photographed that in the picture their lack of re- elity defies detection, and when we ere let in on the secret, we do not mind at all. Indeed we admire the achievement. Have you ever tried creating miniature scenes yourself and photographing them with your own camera? It's fun. Depending upon your skill, artistic ability and the materials you employ, you may construct and photograph miniature sets in your own home that will rival the semblance of reality Achieved in Hollywood; or, if you prefer, you may create scenes of fantasy, comedy or burlesque to compare with a "shot" in an animat- ed cartoon. For a "still" camera, this is really nothing else than table -top photog- raphy, such as has long been prac- ticed by amateurs, but which new la photographically much easier for the amateur than it used to be, be- cause of the recent introduction for Lome use of more powerful artificial lighting. At least for table -top pho- tography you can very cheaply with two or three of these brighter horse flood light bulbs rival the lighting equipment of Hollywood studios, and, what is more, do good work with all inexpensive ilxed-foots cam- era, provided you use a portrait at- tachment to secure the necessary ceese4 p focus. Constructing one of these sets re- quires, of course, a certain amount of time and patience, with the ex- pense depending upon the materta'e you put into it. Very amusing scenes may be created, however, without introducing elaborate de- tails. Here are a few suggestions for the materials: White or light gray cardboard makes "sky"; a mirror makes a lake; twigs and small plants make trees and hedges; moss serves for grass; chalk, salt or flour for snow; toy automobiles, trains, boats, air- planes, houses, human and animal figures may be obtained at the five- and -dime store. 1f you are handy with tools, you can fashion various "props" yourself, using soft wood, or you can use plastic modeling materials. .A few points relative to the pho tography: Working at close range, the depth of field of the lens is not likely to be great, so, in building your set, keep the elements within as abort a. distance, front to back, as possible. You get the best effects by using the lens at a small opening. Better make about three "shots" of a set- ting, varying the exposure time, to be sure of obtaining a perfect nega- tive. Focus exactly. You will have a lot of fun play- ing with the light. Sometimes a single strong flood light will give you what you want. Again, you may want one figure to stand oat bril- liantly with everything else sub- dued. For this a large piece of card- board with a hole in it will provide a spotlight. Panchromatic film gives the hest rendering. iso JOHIN VAN GUfLDI3R Last Sheaf harvested Farmers Enjoying Fadi lay leuSTIOrs The last sheaf is harvested—aatl u good many sheaves es weut thruug1' the cord separuw,• between the Bret. 0441 the 11, t. .ti 14r it 1,;1 Alin 01 t tl$s1Vs raids, ,'::,e 11110sa11811i:1" days.

As far as we could see, it was just like any other day on the farm. Our neighbors all seemed to be busy cul in the fields, and so were we. So this great class of labor manage to keep .going from sunrise to sunset let Labor Day slip by unnoticed. There is no day the farmer can actually call leis. On all the holi- days of the summer months you are more than likely to see the farmer in his fields. There is no distinc- tive "farmers' day," The farmer noes not fare so bar- ly, though, and probably le we really took the trouble to figure it out, we might find that he is actually tamed of the city worker in holidays- He may attend an auction sale, not be- cause he wants to buy anything— but you would have quite a time convincing hien that he was actually having a holiday. Cones fall fair time and be may take time to visit two or three of them, but he would still insist tilae he never has a holiday. But who has more right to a day off then the busy farmer? Fortunately, Labor Day, 1037, has proven 'to be a holiday to a goodly number more workers than in sour., Previous years. More People are employed and in a Position to en- joy a day og work.

The yoht.g people who will flock to this year'e big exhibition for a day or We of relaxation and enjoyment will be' doing just a& then' Parents, their' grandparents and their great -grand' : patents did in years gone by, for it was seventy years ago that Western Falx was inaugurated, Dxhibitlons have been held annually without a break throughout that 10116 period. This year's exhibition is to Lake the form of a Seventieth Anniver- sary celebration and by a happy iu spiration Ole directors trace been able to arrange a number of costae es which will link the past and the present in a most interesting way. Young folk will have an unexcelled opportunity to see In the disPleY of relics of pioneer days something of haw .their forebears lived and work- ed. A splendid collection of ob- jects which were in (tally use by the pioneer settlers of this section of Ontario, have been prepared, Air, J. lidgswoith of Tectorbille 0111 made a hubby of collecting such ar- ticles, and Ills unrivalled colleciioa will be a theatre of Ole Pioneer Section, to whiclt a London resident is also loaning a quilt which won a 1 prize in the 00usehold arts depart- ment at the first Western Fair, seventy years ago, 1n striking contrast to these vivid reminders of the planner of life of Past generations will be the highly modern features of this year's - Western ear'sWestern. Fair. A new electric lighting system ,will vastly improve the general appearance of the grounds and the buildings were never in better shape for the dis- play of all that is latest and best in agriculture, industry and art. The livestock shone this year will be better than ever, and that Is sayi''13 a great deal, The attractions be- fore the grandstand, also, will more than measure up to past standards and Fair patrons who recall the programs of the ,past few years will admit that in that case real enter- tainment values are in store. The trotting and Pacing races will again be a strong drawing card for the afternoon programs. Another feature being added this. year is an exhibition o1 hobbies for which there has been a surprisingly large entry list. During the past few years a lot of people have been finding new and profitable ways of employing their leletire tante and the development or hobbles slecb as the mating 01 models of triune, ships and outer objet'ts flus been 0110 of the remits.

Strenuous Diet May Injure Eyes Vision fa Affected by Lack of Necessary Vitamins Streamlining the figure by strenu- ous diets iu'escribed by persons with uo scientific training in foul values or nutrition, may cause per - moment .impairment of the eyesight, The reason for this is that threw Ioode patricularly important to aye health are either taboo or are at a . minimum iu most of :hese diets. Just recently scientists have dee covered that the substance in the eye which is sensitive to light and wlliob .they term "visual purple" is really a protein that is bleached by the legion of strong light and re- news itself by returning to its orig- inal color in ibe dark, Whenever there has been slow- ness in color restoration, seieutists leave found it due to a defleteuey of a particular vitamin in the food of which the beat sources are butter, cream bud , lesser (;e gree, egg Yolkmilk, liverand lane fi'eelt ve etables. Cod liver' oil is richest of all in it. Dr. I, V, McCollum of Johns Ho1ltius University points out, however, that by drinking a quart of `whole milk daily butter may be omitted. Night Driving When the eyes are exposed to strong lights, the "visual purple" protein changes rapidly to yellow and then slowly becomes colorless. If the systems is plentifully supplied with essential elements, regener- ation takes place as soon as the eyeball is removed from the glare, but wheal lire elements are lacking, the process is slow and defective. Recent experiments have shown that it is dangerous for certain people to drive et night bemuse the "visual purple" in their eyes is not restored quickly after having been blanched by the glare of on -coming headlights. When a deficiency of the essential vitamin continues for any length of time, actual damage t0 the mem- branes covering the eyes bakes place. Other important consider- ations for eye health are: Pvoteet the eyes from strong light glare by AR TEA sot is delicious -ewe- ----- wearing dark glasses.

There has net been mach of that lately but until comparatively recently there were 1 half a million head in a year. lit the southern region of the Antles Argentine cattle cross toe Bolibian high plates 10 reach the market in the nitrate mining camps of Chile The poor animals have to travel three days and nights without food or water through mountain passses in freezing cold.

Western Canadian cattle going 1•l market have a long hard journey travelling by train to the cities of Eastern Canada, and the experience of the animals which have to cans the ocean to Glasgow or Liverpool Is not a bed of roses when winds blow into gales and ships swing ov- er on their beans ends. We sent about 40,000 bead of cattle to the' United Kingdon last year, but two or there years ago we sent about 55,000, according to the External Trade Branch of the 1)n. minion Bureau of Statistics, De- partment of Trade and Commerce. Farm Tractor For All Purposes The formal presentation by Ors - ban -Paige Motors (Canada) Limi.- ed of the new Graham -Bradley Tractor—tile first all-purpose farm tractor to be designed specifically to use pneumatic tires and to speed up such tasks as ploughing, harrow- ing, cliscing, etc. --is attracting the keen attention of progressive farm- ers at the ('anacIlun National Exhi- bition in Toronto this week.
