Deo Juvante •
C vain and struggling universe,
Filled with the sores of ••sin's disease
Away with pride and selfishness;
And seek God's pardon on your knees.
Lay not your trust in men and might,
In steel and iron, fire and sword,
In airtanients and fighting fleets --
Get on your knees; and seek the Lord'.
• For men are frail, and might can fail
Ships can be swallowed by the seas,
And; 'armaments are pian -made night
We'll win this battle on our knees.
A wisp of fog can bolt the course;
And frustrate all the ships that fly.
;'Without the Hand of God we fail;
To- Trim belongs the victory .
The God who saved Israel.
'Who made the Red Sea to divide,
At Dunkerque smoothed the Chan-
nel's waves , '
When clanger pressed on every side.
God can but lift His finger-tip,
So swift His grace, so great His
power,
And all the earth be right again
{O God: Have merey in this hour!)

BACK -TO -SCHOOL CLOTHES
Hello Homemakers! Now is the
time mothers will' be busy getting
the children's clothes ready for
school ---mending, ;letting out, and
making over to matte things do. And
the youngsters always seem to
"stretch up" so during the summer.
This pear more mothers than ever
wi11 be sewing the ehildedn's clothes
rand their own. It is economical
and choice of ready-to-wear styles is
limited. Since government orders
have eliminated "frills", simple,
smart, streamlined styles will be the
fashion in future. A study of gov-
ernment regulations regarding cloth-
ing will repay the homemaker who
would be "fashion -wise."
For example, did yon know that •
regulations forbid more than nine
buttons on a dress and allow only
seven or nine -inch zippere limited in
color to black? There is a ban on
redingotes; jacket dresses are out,
and . separate jackets . (worn with
skirts which must be on a band, not
a bodice) may not be longer than 26
inches; capes, searves, matching hats
or purses are taboo. Heyns may vary
from one-half inch on a flared skirt
to two inches on a ° straight cut.
Blouses have no double back yokes,
no pocket -cuffs or French :cuffs;
pleats in skirts are shallower but

!LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY
It pays to include obJeets, such es these trees, in the foreground of your
landscape pictures.
ANDSCAPES always have been
—and probably always will be—
popular picture subjects. But there's
a technique • to making good land-
scapes, and the photographer who
wants to consistently produce first
rate results will do well to keep
It 1n mind.
The technique is based principal-
ly upon a theory of selection. Most
beginners try to include too much
M each picture. Therefore, the first
rule for successful landscape pho-
tography is to select -your subject
carefully. Aim for simplicity in ar-
rangement and composition; avoid
overcrowding. Beware of extreme-
ly general scenes. Don't always try
to picture a whole valley or moun-
tain range with one snapshot. A
half-dozen pictures, each showing
one interesting portion of the pano-
rama, will result in much more en-
joyable and appealing snapshots.
Second, learn to avoid subjects
which appear to be divided into
two equal:parts. For example, tome
times a tree will. be .standing in
such a position that it seems to be
cutting the picture in half. In an. -
other ease, the horizon line may
run directly across the center of
the snapshot. The exact center of
any picture is usually its weakest
spot -so don't concentrate' too much
attention there.
Technically( the secret of good
landscape pictures lies in straight-•
forward photo technique. however,
here are a few tips. Look for side -
lighted scenes. On most outdoor
shots use a medium yellow fil-
ter; it .will help you get cloud ef-
fects. And finally, to add depth to
your picture, include some.'objeet
such as a tree,: a house, a person,
or an animal in the foreground.
Notice stow the trees In the fore-
ground add depth to our illustration.
This picture, incidentally, illus-
trates the type of landscape• effects
you can get at the sunset hour.
Butmost important of all, just
take the time, and devote some
thought to working out your land-
scape pictures. You'll be well re-
paid with 1Lgherquality results.
