It ds the unusual that attracts at- tention but it is necessary to use your eyes and a little imagination and ingenuity to ferret out the ex- ceptional and get pictures that show individuality. When making mirror pictures and focusing for reflected images only, it is necessary to add the distance from the mirror to the subject, to the distance from the mirror to the lens of the camera and then set the focus accordingly. If it is desired to include the sub- ject in the picture with the reflected image the focus should be set for the distance from the mirror to the lens. The smaller the lens opening the greater the depth of field and the sharper will be both images. Of course, the nearer the subject is to the =Miele the less is required in the matter of "depth". Let us suppose that sister Mary is two feet and the camera six feet from the mirror. If you want to in- clude sister, as well as her reflected image, in the picture, set the focus -at six feet. If you want only the re- flected image in the picture, you set the focus at eight feet. A photoflash lamp simplifies your exposure prole lora and permits a small enough lens opening to gain a sufficient range of sharpness. After locating your subject in the tinder and setting the focus of your camera at the proper distance, set the shutter for "time", place a photoflash bulb in an ordinary floor lamp within reaching distance from the camera, tilttng.the shade slightly upward and toward tare subject. If you cannot tilt the shade, remove it Brom the lamp. It Is best not to have any bright lights burning near the lent/ of the camera. Set your lens opening according to the table on the photoflash lamp container. Take your position at the camera, mese the cable release to open your shut- ter and immediately turn on the photoflash and then quickly close the shutter—and the picture has been taken. Simple, isn't it? For this A section for unusual pictures will brighten the pages of any album. type of picture a No. 10 photoflash bulb will furnish enough light. In amateur photography, experi- menting becomes the spice of life and you will be surprised at the in- teresting effects you will get in work- ing out "stunt" pictures on gloomy, rainy days when Outdoor activities are taboo. Results, in some instars' cee, may be rather grotesque but you will have a lot of inexpensive amusement and pictures that, show individuality, Anyone can take the ordinary run of pictures but it re- quiries a little ingenuity to get the unusual. That is what you should "shoot" for, and the resulting tures will he far more interesting than ordinary record pioture3 and breathe lire 'teen into your photo- graph album. leo John Van Gunder Before You Die You'll Walk Half - Way To The Moon Origin of Halloween - Goverment Announcoa 50' students must be nseured Wore 4 'Datum car be organized, Four 'Short Courses (dimple, Dressnlatking anti Remodel.

Ou the first of November the Druids held then' great tall festival and lighted fires in honor or the sun-god fn thauksgivtng for harvest, It is else it firm b liof in the religion of the Druids that on Ole eve of this rea•`l- val (Hallowe'en as we know it) Samar, lord of death, called togeth- er the wicked souls that within the past twelve months have been cnn- demuetk to inhabit the bodies of aria mats, With regard to this belief, it is interesting to note that in parts or Ireland, the 31st of October was and even still is known as Okdhcihe Slramma, "the vigil of Saman." On of about the let of Novemlier also the Roman festival in honor of Pomona was held, Ponoma was the guddes o1' the fruit trees, hence the words, ',ontologist, grower of fruit, and pon>ology, At this Pont met festival, nuts and apples, as repre. seating the winter store of fruits, played an important part and `buy originated the roasting or nuts and apple ducking --attempting to seize With the teeth an apple floating in a tab of water—a sport in which many later generations of young folks have celebrated the eve er October 31st, Some cynics aver that all the evil spirits of old Druidical time s still exists in the shape of thought: lesyouths whose rough pranks on Hallowe'en ottteu result Cu injury to persons and much damage to •prOP erty, Their pranks are •the sur- vival of the liceutueus part er the Pomona fruit festival. The first national emblem of ex - mkt was undoubtedly the beaver tr,cl it was considered as the national emblem until 1821. 11> that t i-ar the union of the fur trading c,mpen les, the North West and Ilur>i',tt. liay, diverted the fur trade from the St. Law'tence Valley to Hndoon DAY. The triumph of the Hudson Bay over the North ti\'esters meant the virtual loss of the fur trade to Canada and the beaver therefore ceased to be suitable as a educed! embleit>, Before this happened the Maple Leaf was regarded as the emblem of the French Canadians as distinct from the thistle which was the em- blem of the Scottish Canadians, In 1834 the Maple Leaf Was formally adopted as the emblem or the St. Jean de I3aptiete Society of Lower Canada. But during the time of the rebellion in 1817, it was almost regarded as an emblem of disloyalty —to such an extent that there was vigorous opposition to its adoption later in the Canadian West, During the visit of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, the Maple Leaf was formally adopte•1 by resolution as the badge or emblem worn by native horn Canadians In the proccession in Toronto, where tate sante year the 1011t1> Regiment incur. pnrated the Maple Leaf in their badge, At the time of Confederation, the armorial bearing of Quebec and On- tario bore -the Maple Leaf and its ac- ceptance became more or less of- Ileial, Since then 11 .bed happened on ('euaflian mins, stamps and as a badge of the Canadian militia, The t'anadian National An thein, the Maple.

B, Bowen, chief of Motive Power and Rolling Stock, -Cana- dian Pacific Railway, has um- bodled in tbe design of the loco- motives the popular semi•stream- lined appearance which he first developed In the 3000 class Jubilee typo engines, as well as many of the other interesting details which were developed in connection with the Jubilee design, and which havo been proven to ,be satisfactory in servi.o0. Econ more important than the trim appearance of the new loco- motives, however, is their per- formance. rive of them, equipped with booster, each has a tractive effort of 57,000 pounds, which means that ono engine ,can haul 4,789 tons 0r a weight approxi- mating that of 100 loaded freight cars, As for staying power—they will be used on long runs such as the 813 miles of heavy grades and sharp curves between Tor- onto and Fort William and the 832 miles between Winnipeg and Calgary, where they will operate without change of engine. Latest engineering developments are in- corporated in these neweet Cana- dian locomotives, making them ideal either for fast passenger or Malty freight trains, 'Phis new group of locomotives together with 20 lighter locomo- tives of the 4-4-4 type now under construction, combined with tbo power already in service will give the Canadian Pacific 1tai1- way one of the largest fleets of powerful modern locomotives on the North, American Continent, :r;
