But with a faster lens, you could use a higher shutter speed, and be sure of a sharp picture even if the subject moved. That's Just one advantage of a fast lens._ 1L`VERYONFI, of course, knows Ili that the lens of a fine camera is "faster" than the lens of an inex- pensive model. But the question sometimes arises: Just how much faster ... and what is the main value of this extra speed? Such a .question is timely now— for we are at the season of shorter days and duller weather, when •a last lens is most desirable . , and absolutely necessary for some' shots! Here, then, are the major advan- tages of a fast lens. First, it helps insure clear, fully -exposed snapshots when light is poor—on du;l days, cloudy -bright days, in the rain or snow. Second, in conjunction with a fast shutter, it enables you to get sharp, properly -exposed action shots. Third, it enables you to take snapshots at night with less light— sometimes just by ordinary home lighting. Those advantages simply mean that, when you have a 'fast lens, you're better equipped to cope with any - picture opportunity—whether conditions are good or bad. In win- ter or'summer, day or night, fast lenses "get the picture" .. often In situations where slower .lenses would mean failure. How fast is a "fast lens"? That can be answered only by compere sons. For example, an 1/7.7 anastig- mat lens is four times as fast as the meniscus lens of an inexpensive box camera. An 1/6.8 lens is six times as fast as the box -camera lens; an 1/4.5 eleven times as fast, and an 8/3.5, eighteen times as fast. And a fine 1/2 lens, such as on cer- tain deluxe miniature cameras, is fifty-six times as speedy as the box camera lens! In practical terms, this means that the 1/7.7 lens will get good snapshots on days when box -camera snaps would be seriously underex- posed. It means' that with the 1/6.1 you're equipped for snapshots on d ull days; with the 1/4.5 or 1/3.5, action shots under adverse conditions; with the 1/2, almost anything, day or night. Putting It in a nutshell—the faster your lens, the wider your picture range, and the more subjects you can tackle with assurance of good results, If you're getting good pic- tures ictures now with an •inexpensive camera, rest assured that your next camera—if equipped with feat ]ens —will serve you even better. 256 John van Guilder Herb.

Doubtful Legislation The Provincial Government's deter- mination to introduce legislation at the next session of the Legislature. to extend the period of municipal coun- cils for two years, with authority by order -in -council for a still further extension, if war continues, is hard to understand. The only excuse for such arbitrary legislation is economy and, this is a sound excuse if valid. But the economy is very Slight and might be all lost with an extravagant mayor and council. What is more, most municipalities have some by-law which must be submitted every year to the electors and the Government, recognizing this situation, provides for such elections. This wipes out most of the economy plea. There is much to be said for -a two- year term for municipal councils and particularly in. the larger towns and cities. It takes a year for a mayor or aldermen to find his way around. With a longer term there is less danger of councils acting eternally with their eye on the ballot box. Buz in this democratic country surely the electors have the rights to same say as to the municipal term. What about the Legislature? Flan. Eric Oi-ors, minister of municipal affairs, takes it for granted. that the Legislature will put its stamp, of approval on his legislation. Have the private mem- bers no say Are they just so mane rubber stamps The most demoeretie form of gov- ernment we possess and the one clos- est to the people is the municipal. It deals with things that touch the life of every citizen -.-education, san- itation, health, streets, protection of life and property. The British demo - orate system of government goes back to our rude Anglo-Saxon fore- fathers. °tate tribesmen met together and made Daws and meted out justice. With the passing of time and the growth of population it was not fates ible for . all the people to gather to- gether and so they elected represent- atives, veha voiced their opinions and met in •town, council, or Parliament to legislate for all the people. The civic government is. nearest to the old Isystem for the simple reason the number of people to be consulted is smaller and it deals not with national or international affairs, but home problems.' There has been a tendency in re- cent years to centralize power at Toronto or Ottawa and to reduce the authority of the municipal govern- ment. For that reason people look with considerable suspicion on this arbitrary action of the authorities at Toronto.—London Free Press. anadian wed Cross Calls Clinton and Vicinity Red Cross Branch Hears and Heeds Our organization is completed and in a few days you will be called on by a member of the Red -Cross with his credentials which authorize him tocollect funds for this worthy work.

HOW BODY OF UNKNOWN WARRIOR WAS CHOSEN FOR TOMB IN ABBEY The story of how the body of the empire's unknown warrior was select - for burial in, Westminster Abbey was given for the first time Saturday In a letter to the Daily Telegraph by Brigadier -General L. J. Wyatt, cora- mender of the British troops in France in 1920. Receiving notification the King had approved a suggestion for burial of the unknown warrior in the Abbey. General Wyatt issued instructions "that the body of a British soldier, which it wouldn't be possible to identify, should be brought from each of the four battle areas — Aisne, Somme, Arras and Ypres — on the night of Nov. 7. They were to be placed in the ohapel of Saint Paul. "The party bringing in each body, was to return at once so there should be no chance of their knowing on' which the choice fell. "The four bodies lay on stretchers, each covered, by a Union Jack; In front of the altar was the shell of a coffin which had beet} sent from Eng- land to receive the remains. I select- ed one, placed it in the shell, screwed down the lid. The other bodies were removed and reburied in a ,military cemetery outside by headquarters at Saint Pol. "I had no idea even of the area from which the body I selected had come; none elsecan know it." General Wyatt deseribed-the jour- ney ofthebody homeward, Trow it went under escort to Boulogne where it was placed in a plain :oak coffin with wrought iron bands. A company of French Infantry pro- vided a guard at Boulogne Castle. They were relieved by a guard of United Kingdom and Dominion troops who accompanied the casket home on H.M.S, Verdun. General Wyattalso disclosed that six barrels of earth from the Ypres Salient were put eaboard to spread in. the Abbey tomb in which the body was to be placed.
