M0 WINTER season of picture- dtaking can be complete unless. you have made indoor silhouette pic- tures and tested your originality, imagination and ingenuity in devis- ing interesting scenes and poses. Making silhouettes is fairly simple if you..follow directions, but ideas for subjects! There Is where you can display the talent of a movie director, scene painter, stage car- penter and comic artist combined. The essentialset-up is merely a sheet stretched tightly acrossa doorwaybetween two rooms, a pho- tographic flood light or flash: light, bulb in a floor lamp in one room and your` subject and camera in front of the sheet in the other room. It is the white sheet' and the illu urination which, of course, place your scene in silhouette, and thus in silhouette it is recorded on the film, provided you give the proper exposure. A word or two on this: If you use flood light bulbs (one • No. 2 bulb or two No. 1 bulbs) and your camera is of the single lens or box type, expose for about two sec- onds with the largest stop. If it has a double lens with stop f.8, expose for about one second. If your cam- era has an 1.6.8 lens, expose tor about ,one-half second at 1.6.8. The camera must, of course, be on a firm support- and set for "time." The light and camera should be so placed that a line drawn between the light and the,. lens will pass through the center of the scene. If. you 'prefer to use a flash bulb, set your camera at 'time," flash the bulb and close the shutter. Now consider the endless possi- bilities for silhouette pictures. Don't stop merely at silhouette portraits, • interesting as they may be. Devise amusing story -telling pictures. Get a laugh out of them and give your friends a laugh. You can do this by . using appropriate objects, combin- ing them in silhouette in front of the sheet with your human figure. You are not limited to objects placed in front of the Sheet, however. With black or dark, gray cardboard or heavy paper you may fashion all sorts of figures, pin them on the sheet and create additional scenery. By posing your human figure in con- junction with them You can produce the most absurd situations. Indeed you can perform miracles. For ex- ample, you may show Dad juggling an innumerable number of billiard balls, the balls in reality being discs on the sheet. You can depict a fairy story to illustrate a Mother Goose rhyme,sueh as a witch dying across the face of the moon or a great big spider frightening little Miss Mat- fett. You can create the illusion of six-year old Jimmie landing a vo- racious shark, twisting a lion's tail or defying an elephant. "Silly-ettes," if you want to call them that, but a collection of them in your album will be far more amus- ing to you and your friends than many pages of professional comics. 129, J,OIIN VAN GUILDER Blunter, J.

A FAD For scores of years enlightened folk! have been taiking conservation of the natural resources of the Province. For the most part these patriots have been looked upon as fadists. Why prevent soil erosion? Why plant trees? Why care for banks of streams and rivers? Why all this talk about shrubbery by stream banks? We'll never feel the need of it!` and so the remarks of the worldly-wise ran on. Then came the storm and the country side is tens of millions poorer be- cause the country was in no way :pre pared therefore. A few years ago a terribly destructive ` wind storm vis- ited , this part of the • province.

Yet there are labor strikes right across the Continent, and it 'is possible that by this thne next week there will be added to the number 119,000 steel workers. In Canada the Dominion of Fin- ance Minister recently pointed out the crippling effect unemployment relief has had and still has on our national finances. Yet a few weeks ago we had a ma- jor strike at Oshawa and other ser- ious strikes in other parts of the Dominion. Strikes for higher pay and better working conditions? No, the menwere pretty well satisfied with both. They struck just because they were told to strike. Now the striking spirit has ex- tended to our Provincial Highways. The men employed in building a lake shore highway out of Toronto have struck and construction has ceased. But the men have a real grievance this time. Of course they have. Just listen to it. They are only getting thirty-five' cents an hour. What they' are demanding is fifty cents an hour for unskilled labor and seventy cents an hour for part skilled men. And if they don't get it, these men claim they will go back on relief, where they claim they can live better than they can by working for thirty- five cents an hour. There is something the matter with an unemployed man who won't work. on the highways or anywhere else for that matter, for less than 50 or '70 cents an hour. And out here in the country, we have a name for it too. It is pure laziness or pure cus- sedness. And there is something the matter with our relief system if it provides a fatter living for a man than labor at 35 cents' an hour will provide for, him. Something very seriously the matter with it.—Seaforth Expositor. of Ontario, stated that the Depart- ment of Education was very anxious that music be stressed in the schools. As a matter of fact during the testi few years great strides have been made in this work. We understand that many of the rural schools in this, district will start teaching music this year under a music supervisor. There are several reasons why mu- sic is'important in our schools. Many children who have talent would not get a chance except through the med-I ium of the school. Where music is taught the pupils are takenin hand as soon as they enroll and by the time they pass' their entrance they have acquired a knowledge of music which enables them to appreciate some of the finer things of life. The way the children put their heart and soul into their efforts at the festival was a treat to watch. The only criticisms one could make of this first festival would be that the large number of entries made it im- possible for 'some to do their best, and near midnight is much too late to have young , children appear on the program. The Town Hall at Clinton did not have ample accommodation for the public or the pupils. Better or- ganization is very necessary to over- come these difficulties and, no doubt, with the experience of this festival behindthem those in charge will be able next year to remedy this situa- tion. Wingham School won the choir event for schools over three rooms. The children did exceedingly well and Professor Anderton and the teachers responsible far their training .are to be congratulated. Training the choir created a great deal of extra work for the teachers but they, like the children, entered into the spirit of the thing• snot wererewaidedfortheir,of forts by such a splendid showing. r' Wingham Advance -Times, manner of talking was done but all that 'was dude in the way of getting ready* for such prevention of such a disaster has been the cutting down of trees in order that the winds may have a freer sweepk Surely our folk will not allow the lessons of the pre- sent flood to go unheeded. Nature gives many a hint. Then she admin- isters a knock out blow front which there ie no appeal. Hurricanes fre- quently requently follow in the wake of floods Brussels Post THERE' IS SOMETHING, THE MATTER', There is something the matter with the labor world. Something seriously MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOLS Those who were privileged to at- tend' the First Huron Musical Fes- tival, which was held at Clinton last week, were greatly surprised by the large number of entries in all classes. In many of the schools music has been a part of their curriculum, for' a very short time but during this short Per - lad very fine results have ' been at- tained. Mr. Fenwick, provincial superinten- dent of Musie for the public schools day evening, May 27th, to join the Kitchener Band and regiment in a route march beginning at '7.30 sharp. The second proposal was an invita- tion for as many' members of the local band as possible, to join The Fusiliers for one week in their sum- mer camp, from June 27th to July' 3rd. Mr. Bricker states, this pro -- vides excellent training, a grand out- ing, real discipline with much time spent in practising with their band. With a celebration proposed. here for July lst, Mr. Bricker said he could !arrange for a leave of absence for both bands that day, so they could take part in the celebration. —Lucknow Sentinel. PIPE BAND INVITED TO' SUMMER CAMP Members of the Lucknow Pipe Band were in Kitchener last Thursday.ev- ening taking' part in a drill with the Scots Fusiliers of Canada. This week Mr. G. H. Smith received a letter from R. E, Bricker, Band Major ex- pressing pleasure in having "the 'boys" and which also outlined a cou- ple of, interesting propositions for the local baud's consideration: One was an invitation to have the Band return to Kitchener on Thurs- IS TEACHING OF MAN- NERS JOB FOR SCHOOL? Manners and Appearance Count In Getting A Job? There has been considerable dis- cussion about rearranging the high. school curriculum to do away with subjects that will be of little value to the student in later life, and substitute others which will prove more benefi- cial,observes Alice Ross in the Sault. Star. Yet one of the most important tea- chings of all has been forgotten --- the the teaching of manners. Each year hundreds of students graduate from our secondary schools sadly lacking poise and a nice manner with which to meet the public. This, of course, is not the fault of the teachers.They naturally expect the child's parents will see to its man- ners. Unfortunately too many par- ents are apt to neglect this all-impor- tant item beyond the rudiments of politeness. Lack of child training is id t h ee the number of cases of juvenile delinquency. If the continuation schools had a . class wherein the student, who lacks such training at home, . could learn how to act in public and in general de- velop a pleasing manner, they would do More towards giving that student' a start in life than all the teachings of languages and other such subjects, of- ten forgotten once the student'grad- uates. When a girl or boy is interviewed by a prospective employer, that em- ployer takes note of the applicant's manner above all things, and his ap- pearance. Naturally . ability ; counts, but it is unfortunate that more do, not realize What a major are maniy,ersi and appearance play.
