It's fun, too to create "table -top" picture scenes as shown here. SNAPSHOTS at night are fun, and a delightful way to spend long winter evenings. Nowadays, with in- expensive lighting equipMent espe- cially designed for the amateur, night snapshots are easg,with any camera, You can arrange interesting and artistic "table -top" pictures, using toy automobiles, doll houses and miniature furniture, with a bit of dark carpet for grass, or sugar for snow, or a bit of glass on top of a dark surface to portray a quiet pool. You can also take informal portraits of members of the family, pictures of them reading or busy with other activities, snapshots of the pets, and Interior views of the home. Indeed, there is a wonderful range of pic- ture chancee,none of which occur outdoors. The picture ,above shows how bight snapshots are made. A photo 'bulb is screwed into a bridge lamp, with a cardboard reflector replacing the lampshade. The photo bulb yields an extremely ,bright white light, especially stilted for picture - taking. With tWo large photo bulbs in cardboard refleetora, three or four feet front the,subiect, you have enough light for snapshots with a box camera. With a focusing type camera yoU would get satisfactory results by setting the lens aperture at 1,11 and the shutter speed at 1/25 of a second. In the picture shown here, the light colored wall serves as a reflec- tor to illuminate the shadow side of the "table -top" scene. Ordinarily, two lamps are used for a picture, one to illuminate each side of a Bab- ied. By changing the angle and posi- 'tion of the lights, many interesting shadow effects can be obtained. A piece of cardboard can verve as a background as in the picture above. For night snapshots, the camera should be loaded with a fast film of the "super" type, With slower flims, it is necessary to provide two or three times as much light. And for close-ups, as shown hero, a.por- trait attachment must be placed on the camera lana .(unless yours i5 one of the finer focusing cameras). In night picture -taking, it is im- portant to have your photo lights at a correct distance from the subject —not too near, and not too far away. An exposure guide is helpful in plac- ing the lights ---or you can make sev- eral "test" pictures of each scene. Don't miss the fun of night snap- shots this winter. You will learn much about Picture -tatting, and pro. vide many an interesting addition to your album. 214 dohnian Builder. Niles are usually Just what ;they ap- pear to be--entirel7 limitless dis- figurements. But sometimes as tile years, go by, any oaf) of these b'lem- ishes may develop Jute a akin cancer, The reason for this 18 that the danger' le not recognized; the mole eta wart may became irritated by collar, waistband or simply by mischievous' fingers; the clanger is not appreciated by the victim and a cancer begins and is lett untreated or treated by quacks with disastrous results, Ah long as a mole, wart, brown or crusty patch, scar or other akin growth does not change from year to year, It need be given no treat- ment. Bat one should be on the lookout for a darkening in colour, increase in size, and in a mole in creaded haricess, scaliness, or a. tendency to bleed. An open wound) which refuses to heal is rarely cancerous in the be- ginning, Iff left untreated, it vay develop into a stubborn form of cancer, difficult to cure. Quack remedies, such, as salves, ointments and ,plaster's are not only useless in treatment, but theu delay the use of rational remedies, Sur- gery, X-ray and radium in the hands of a competent surgeon or physician are the proper snetliods of treat- nrent. The doctor is the_ one to decide. Skin cancers are the easiest of all cancers to detect and ours, In spite of this fact, they kill more than 3300 persons every year in Caniada and the United States. If a mole, wart or other skin blemish. Is causing you any concern, ask your doctor about It, HOUSEHOLD HINTS • Saturate thorougbcly small cubes of 'granulated sugar with fresh or- ange juice and push one cube well down into the top of each tea bis- cuit. When baked they should be a shining golden brown on top and deliciously orange flavored. A comfortable living room has some sort of table within reach or every chair. It's mighty unhandy to cross a room every time one needs an, ash tray or wants to lay down a book. To keep lettuce and greens fresh over a long week -end, re- move waste leaves, and alter thoroughly wetting the outside only of a paper bag, place lettuce. cabbage or spinach inside and twist the top. When you open the bag you will find the leaves crisp and delicious. If jelly has not "set" success fully, beat up with a fork and pile in a .glass dish with custard or cream around; it will then "set" itself in a pyramid. Jam that is rather juicy, or a custard; mixture, frequently soaks into the pastry 'when tarts .ire made with 'these dilainigs, and makes it sodden. If, however, the pastry is first 'brushed over with beaten egg it will keep quite crisp and dry. When glass. gets broken be par- ticularly careful about picking un the pieces. A damp cloth will take them up, or on linoleum or wool. a cloth well' moistened with floor polish. Use an old cloth that can be immediately destroyed. ,Penny that has molded under the seal is not necessarily entirely spoiled. Skim off the top and taste. to see if the balance of the Jelly is unharmed, If so, and it is iiot to be used immediately, rc- pai+afln and store in a cool dry place. To .prevent fading when drying colored garments outside, hang them In the shade wrong side out. Fruit stains on washable ma. toilets may be removed by soak- ing in warm glycerine. Rinse in clear warm water.
