dirty dishes, three miles of dirty
:clothes, and one mile of glass:, and
scrubs and washes five unites of
floors in a year. Add to :this the
miles she walks doing the different
jobs — frightening, isn't it
Let's see how we can knock a few
miles off the weekly household
mileage.
'When peeling vegetables for a

Dont dabble in clearing up the

Scone people won't believe it, but
humans rank vent' low on a mos•

students will Insist they are the fav-

culture they are probably right.
Some individual's doattract moss

report. Incidentally, only female
mosquitoes bite. Investigations dis-
close that when they have a choice

IeSNAPSIJOT GUILD
FILTERS FOROETTER PICTURES
In taking this shot, a filter was used to reproduce'the sky tone so that
the white smoke would standout. Try filters—they'll ifnprove your plc.
tures, and add interest.
COLOR filters -simple little de-
l t vices that slip on over your
camera lens—can add a .lot to.the
quality aid value of your snap-
shots. If you've never used flltera,
now is a good time to start. All the,
experts use them, and they'll :lark,
a big forward step in your own per-.
sonal photography.
Slip a medium yellow K -S filter
.on your lens, load the camera with
any good "chrome" or "pan" Mtn,
and you get piotiti'as with more
'natural tone values, Or, in techni-
cal phrase, more accurate render -
dug of relative brightnesses as seen
by the eye. Which, briefly, means
that your picture of any outdoor
subjedt will come closer to showing
,things as you saw them when you
snapped the shutter, •
Slip a deep yelloav G fliter on
your 'lens, and you'll get clearer,
letter pictures ,of distant scenes
that would look hazy in an "unfll-
tiered" shot. You'll also get sidles
that leek deeper than normal its
tone—very effective in some picto•
real shots,
For spectacular effects, very
dark skies, and exaggerated eon -
treat, load the Camera with "pan"
•
film or infrared film, and slip a
red "A" filter on the lens. Don't use
the red filter with. other typos of
:film than panchromatic or infra-
red; it's for these only.
"lli'rom the effects described, you
can see that filters open' lip an
interesting new range of picture
possibilities. The'llC-2Is the best
alirourul lifter, so gait with that,
adding the G and A when you are
ready to branch out into dramatic
"effect" shots.
livery filter, of ,course, outs out
ptiyrt of the light to which it flim is
sensitive, so exposure must bo in•
creased accordingly. Bach filter's
"exposnre factor" is constant for
each Rini, and exposure adjustment
is itot hard tb calculate; but the
'easiest method is. to 1180 a pocket
filler guide of the, dial • type. These
cost but a tow cents, and reuilly'
indicate the exact lens opening
needed in a particular situs,tion.
If you world improve your liho-
tography—ntclke use of filters, The
results will surprise you—in fact,
'you'll probably want to know,
`Why didn't • somebody tell me
about this before?"

EXPLAINS CANADA'S
SACON BOARD
Ottawa, 1940
The Lrdlior, Tale Brussels Post:
Dear Sir: A leiit'er, from Mr. John
McNabb, under the caption; Bacon
Board' of Canada, appeared in :your
issue of May 10 h• The •comment
about the Bacon Board may 'call for
some reply,
The outstanding facts in: connec-
tion lvitli the hog situation in Can-
ada are:
Farmers have marketed . between
the beginning of November, 1039,
and the end of April, 1040, a total at
2,494,300 hogs, or an average per)
week of 93,640 hogs compared wits)
65,100 in the same period of 1938-39,)
an increase of over 43 per cent. 1
Hog marketing., for the past 2i
weeks to May 2nd were an average
of 951500 head per weed{ compared(
with 67,500 in the same weeks of
1939,
These hogs were all planned for
and bred previous to the influence
of war conditions.
Over the whole period to the be-
ginning of April, during the heaviest
hog marketing& in the history of
Canada, hog .prices have been on a
basis for wars: dressed weight of
approximately $12.00 per hundred
141., Toronto, which compares: with
an equivalent warm dressed' weight
price paid to US. fanners of ap-
proximately $7;50 ($5.61 alive) per
hundred lb., Chicago.
As hog production throughout the
world had increased largely on the
Scale obtaining in Canada, it there
had been no Bacon Contraet with
England hog prices would have
been perhaps not as low as the
Cheese price but certainly much
lower than $12,00.
Singe the beginning ,of April pric-
es for hogs have declined somewhat
because a much larger proportion
of the total hog production has to
he absorbed: into the domestic mar-
ket and domestic prices are below
export parity. Every effort: is being
made to increase domestic consump-
tion to a Point where it w411 spuport
a parity with export prices, for the
surplus over export quantities.
The following message and stmt-
lar others have appeared and are ap-
earing in retailer's advertisements
throughout Canada.
'Farmers are producing hogs to
°upply Britain with bacon as a con•
ribution do war effort,
"At the moment there are being
arketed more hags than needed by
ritain,
,'The Marketing ,Service, Dominion
elYartrnent of Agriculture, and the
anadian Bacon Board request that
tamewives and all food purveyors
should feature on their tables and
genus bacon and pork to support
