Alone in the world, but with a fortune of her own, she considers looking up her own family whom she has nev- er eever seen. A neighbor, Evan Bow- er, tries to argue her out of it and tells her he Loves her and asks ,lier to marry him. She Promises .te think it over but decides first to see her family. She goes to their address, finds that they are destitute and gradually persuades them: to accept things they need. When the doctor calls to see her mother she notices that he seems particularly interested in her sis- ter. Marjorie goes to church in Brentwood, where her family used to Iive, and becomes very much interested in the young minister there, with whom she later has lunch in thie elty. While at Brent- wood .sthe sees the home her fam- iby' formerly owned, buys it back ' for them and gives the deed to it to her father on Christmas morn- ing. .,It was a long time before the Gay family simmered down to real life again. Betty was just . taking the turkey ,out of the oven and Marjorie was filling the water glasses when there came a ring at the door again. Ted went to open it and there stood Gideon Beaver with a small white package in his hand. It wasn't tied up in ribbons or seals bike a Christ- mas present, though it looked as though it ,wound like to have been. I1 just hod a rubber band around it. Ted welcomed. the young man joy- ously. "Come in!" he cried as though Santa Claus h•imself had appeared at the door. "Oh. I mustn't," said Gideon smil- ing. "I just stopped in to leave this little book. for your sister. I told her I'd send it over and ,this is the first ohanc'e I've Arad. Also I wanted to ask if you folks wouldn't come over to our Christmas service tonight at 'nine o'clock." "Oh, come on in," said Ted, "1 want you to meet Dad and Mother. You aren't in such a hurry you can't stop a minute, are you?" "No, I'm not In a hurry at all!" said 'Gideon smiling, "but I don't believe in intruding on Christmas Day." "Intruding?" said Tied, opening the door wide and flailing this adoned' pas- tor, in. "Where do you get that word?" Then he suddenly turned and caught the look on Betty's face as she came into the dining room ex- ctly oppcsite the hall door, with the great brown steaming turkey on its platter. Betty d•idin't like shim . to invite Gideon heaver' in! Betty would be sore! Now probably Christmas. would all be spoiled! Poor Ted! He could hardly get through the irutroductions. But Marjorie came shining into the room and Welcomed are guest, and Ted felt better. Then his father and mother were both very cordial too, and Ted beamed, tl:uugh coescio•us a'lI the time of Betty and the turkey in the background. • Betty put 'roan the platter and came and stood frowning in the hall door,,, but tine frown suddenly died down. Betty was surprised to find how young and good-looking Ted's boasted minister was. She hesi- tated, wondering -just what to do about the turkey,, and as she heal - ted Marjorie turned and introduc- ed:. her. "This is my twin sister, Mr. Beaver, This is the one I you saw be- fore." And suddenly Betty was swept in- to the circle much •atgairnst her will. But he was interesting -looking, and she roused out of her annoyance anal greeted him pleasantly enough. heoatiiy. "r know everybody will be dielighted." "Oh, 1 couldn't think of intruding that way. Intdleed 1 couldn't. 1 was just easing and thought I would leave the message," "But you haven't had your dinner yet, have you?" dharblengetl Ted wist- fully. "No, I'm just on my way` back to "my boarding house." "That settles it," said Father. "Ted, go and wee if there are enough chairs to go around and Betty, put on another plate!" But suddenly the front door which had the night latah off, opened again, and in walked the doctor. "Well, now, upon my wont if I haven't walked in on a party!" he said. "I beg your pardon. I won't stay but a minute. I just wanted to make aura my patients were all right and fit for turkey." "You're Aust in tlime!" said Mr, Gay happily. "Have you brad your Christmas dinner yet?" "Weld, no, I .haven't yet, but I'm used to waiting. I'1I just look at Mrs. Gay's 'pulse and then, I'll be moving on:" "Went call it brunch then," called out Betty suddenly from the doorway. "Come on, there's plenty to eat. You get the che,i,rs,, Ted, The turkey is already on the table. The more the merriest" .. Phtey all turned and looked r#`# Betty's' g<ry face, so changed from a moment before. Ted breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest gave quick fur- tive glanees.at the doctor. Mr. Gay 'introduced the m'ini'ster and the doctor and they•studied each other a bit cautiously. But they were both straying, there was no question about that " "Dinner is served!" said Betty sud- denly appearing in, the doorway' look- ing very pretty indeed in Marjorie's green knit dress with a bit of red ribbon knotted in her hair. and a =trap of holly on one shoulder, "It'A going to be a tight squame, friends, but we thought it was better than waiting to put another -leaf in the table ands eating a cold dinner." Betty's cheeks were rosy and her eyes wer-•'e" twinkling. She seemed like a new Betty to .Marjorie. The dcctor, without waiting on the order of his goaimg, marched straight over to Betty and pulled out her chair and then took the one next heir. Mrs. Cray smiled and took her place where cushions had been arraunged at her back and feet. The minister found himself seated between Marjorie and Ted. Then Mr.. Gay's voice broke ta- to .the laughter of .getting seated. "Mr. nearer, will you ask the blessing, please?" Marjorie stifled a quick look of surprise. There had. been no asking of blessings so far in the meals she had eaten in her new home, although she reflected they bad been most in- formal, and her father had generally eaten upstairs with her mother. But her heart warmed to the words that were spoken and sae thrilled at the srwect silence that had settled over them- all. This minister certainly was a rare one. How great for Ted to have such a man for a friend! As th'e heads• were lifted the doctor shot a quick keen glance at the minister across from him. But it was the minister tetio spoke first. "Do you mean to tell me, Doctor, that you can always tell which of these twins is which?" -he asked looking from Betty to Marjorie at his side. "Well," said the doctor, "I can always tell that this one is Betty, but I'm not always wo sure which one the other one is!" They all laughed heartily at that. It was Ia, delightful occasion, and everyone enjoyed it to the full. Strange to say neither doctor nor minister seemed to be in a hurry to leave: By this time they were excell en t friends, having discovered a number of tastes in, common. The doctor had inquired where Gideon preached, and Gideon had suggested that he'd better come over phis way and open an office. The dootor said he'd think about lit, and Betty told him they were going to move back there and 8 She seemed like a new Betty to Marjorie. But Gideon Beater had a lot of in- tuition, and he hada seen that turkey. "I'm just delighted to see you all," he said with a comprehensive glance which took them all in, "but I'm not going be stop now. I can tell by the delicious ado's that are going around that dinner is on the table, so I'll just r•un, away now and come back anbther time and cats if I may. Farr' be it from aitee to delay a Chi-istmna,s dinner!" Suddenly the mother spoke nip, al- most eagerly ih"s'eeined. "Why not stay and share it with us?" she asked.. She had seen the eager look in bier boy's eyes. "Yes, do stay," acid the father ettteeit i�,svH,:r�4„ Si,nt, a># E,.ste needled to iabve their doctor handy. He aid he dddtn't know but he would look into it. Suddenly Gideon turned around to them elu. "Now, why don't we have a little', sing?" he said. "Christmas ain't. complete without carols." It was just as they were singing the last line of "Silent Night," that Evan Brower walked contemptuous- iy up tale narrow steps, and failing to identify the small im+significant doorbell, in the darkness gave a thun- derous knock on the door. ^ Oomin4g as it did into the sweet - nese of that "Silent, holy night" of„ tangago, it wan se newhat of a n,.l ti.vf 4:eLdJSw.�c': , 1 1 shook.

Then he added with what was almost haughtiness in lois voice, "Won't you comae int?" Evan Brower stepped, into the house leaving the taxi throbbing outside and looked about the tiny hall, and the equally tiny parlor beyond, searching- ly like a warhorse out for battle, But Marjorie, her color perhaps a trLfle brightened, ere forward at once. d why Evan," she said pleasantly, "this cel trataily, la a sunprrisie! " She presented them one by one as they were standing about in the door- way, •aad each bowed courteously, try- ing to veil their disappointment at the interlude in their pleasant even- ing. But Evan. Brower merely ack- nowledged .the introductionsby a lev- el stare art each and the slightest.'pos- sible inclination of his head. "And won't you come in and meet my mother?'.' went on Marjorie b!itba- ly, though. she wasn't at all sure from the Look in Evan Brower's eye whet titer he was going to follow her or not, Marjorie led the way to the couch, and, Evan Brower reluotantly stepped a few feet nearer and inclined his head again at Mrs. Gay. "I came," said he to Marjorie in a rudely lowered tope, "to take you out' this evening. Can you get your wraps and go at once? Will you need to change?" He glanced down at her pretty knitted dress with annoyance. This was a part of finding her in this lit- tle insiguifi'cant house. in a common neighborhood, that she should not be dressed for the evening! Chnistm-rs night and in a daythne daesis! But Marjorie did not Kook embar- rassed at 'hie evident disapproval. She lifted calm eyes to bis face and speak- ing in, an'ordinary tone that she was not attemiptin4g to disguise, she said: "No, I'm sorry, I couldn't go this evening. I already have an engage- ment for later in the evening, . and Chris' is our first Christmas together. I wouldn't break it up dor anything." "Really, Marjorie, I don't see that you are required to do duty all day and evening too!" Evan's tone was exceedingly antttsyed. y "Well, I'm just es sway as I can be, Evan, to disappoint you, but it's quite impassible. If you bad let me know,that you thought of coming this way I would have told. you not to count on Chrdstntas at all as I had made other plans." I' And them Evan turned and stalked Ihaughrttily from the room without any- thing but the merest nod in Mrs. Gay's direction. But Marjorie, her color rising anti her head a bit high, walked coolly to the door with her caller. "Too bad, Evan, to have this, ride for nothing, but it just couldn't be helped," she said sweetly, and s•miled lustful goat ly upon' ham. At the door he turned savagely up- on her and said in a low growl: "When can I see you, alone? In the morning? Will you deign to lunch with me?"' "Why, yee, I . thi•nk 1 cattle'," said Marjorie, considering. "Very well, I'14 catoh you on the, telephone: What is the number here?" "Oh, we haven't a telephone," she answered brightly as though that were quite a usual thing in her oi,rcle of friends. "Suppose I just be ready when you say you wi 1 l coupe. Half past twelve or one. Which will be most convenient for you?" "Eleven!" said Evan crisply. "I'm flying back in the afternoon andi I'•m baking you with me! Better have your things packed and we can take them with us where stte lunch." (Conti nu ed -.Next Week ) Artificial Respiration Ihtring the next few months much will be Sheard of the Schafer prone pressure method of artificial respira- tion for the season of drowning has commenced and the Sehefer..method is the one that has world wide approval, The campaign inaugurated last sum- mer by the Health League of Canada to reduce the number of drowning fa- talities was based on the use of the wedl-known Schafer meth'o'd; and ant tended to educate the pubitc to the need for longer application of this means of a.rti•ficiai respiration. It was revealed that too often attempts at resuscitation were abandoned either because the supposedly d'Own'ed per- son was immensedi far more than ten minutes or because it was assumed that absence of heart beat or breath- ing meant the victim was dead. The Health League will continue its warn- ings this summer that death should never be admitted until rigor mortis sets in. Various methods of attempted re- suscitation are recorded from the earl- iest ages. Burning and cutting of the skin, the use of boiling water and burning oil whipping and noise were among the more dra.st.io p'roced'ures. Application of heat by warm clay or naives. counter shock, ducking in wa- ter and blows on the soles of the feet and near the heart were»srupposedi to be effective. Other methods includ- ed fumigation, that is, th'e blowing of tobacce. e'tnoke or charcoal fumes in- to the mouth, also the rotting of a patient in a barrel or on a barrel.

Nearly 200' years ago, Oliver Gold- smith,, in ht's History of Animated Na- ture, fisted three or four humming- birds.

Moreover he' can sustain his pace for he makes a non- stop flight across;' the Guff of Mexico, a distance of 500 to 600 .miles.

But he dances tirelessly, sometimes. varying his program wtith acrobatic feats, un- til by a sign that he alone under- stands, his beloved accepts him. If, during these ecstatic maneuvers a rival mate appears, a battle royal ensues; often one of the fighters will fall 'to earth vanquished, while 'his conqueror, almost equally exhausted, will perch nearby, panting from the ferocity of the struggle. But the boundless valor of the humrmingbird is never so spectacular as when he "takes. on" creatures much larger than himself. He will assail nearly all the common birds, even the crow and the red-sbouldereci hawk dash- ing exploits that put him in a class with- David when he defied Goliath. His weapon is bis tong, neediehlce bill, with which he is said to attack the eyes of his enemies. At any rate such is the swift valor of his inset that I have never seen him fail to rout a diisturirer of his peace. A most astonishing display of bravery occur- red one day dening the courtship of two ruby throats, as low overhead' there passed the 'shadow of a great bald eagle. I. could not follow the flight of the gnrameltike ohnmpion as he sped after this formidable bird of prey. I only know tdrat the huge bulk of the eagle flared suddenly upward, clod.ge•d ponderously, and beat a pre:, cipitate retreat.

It may be as low as six feet from the ground, and as high as 80. The in- terior is lined with cottony down frcunn fern -stalks or other sources, and has tire softness of velour.

For this average subject, on a cloudy -bright day, 1/25 second at f.8 lens opening is correct. On a sunny day, with the same subject, 1/25 second at f.11 is proper. jy7OW that spring is here, the days IN seem brighter as well as longer, This apparent brightness may de- ceive some of us into shortening our outdoor exposures -but we should bo cautious in so doing. Underexposure is the most fre- quent fault in amateur snapshots. A picture printed from an underex- posed negative has a harsh appear- ance. The shadows are too black and lack detail, and by comparison the bright areas appear excessively bright. If many of your pictures have this appearance, you should practice giving fuller exposure, either through choice of a larger lens open - lag or longer shutter time. Modern films have broad exposure latitude, to take care of reasonable errors in exposure. But we should not ask too much, and we should remember that a correctly -exposed negative always produces the best. print. When we are in doubt, it ih usually wiser to give a full exposure rather than ora that may be too short. Here are typical correct exposures for the "chrome" type films that most of us prefer for outdoor picture taking: ,h /a itta ai .h� BRILLIANT DAY: Average subject, 1/25 second at all lens opening; open landscape, 1/25 second at f.16; water or beach scenes, 1/25 second at f.22. CLOUDY BRIGHT DAY: Average subject, 1/25 second at 1.8; open landscape, 1/25 at f.11; water or beach scenes, 1/25 at f.16. DULL DAY: Average subject, 1/25 at f.6.3; open landscape, 1/25 at 1.8; water or beach scenes, 1/25 at 1.11. With box cameras on dull days, a very abort time exposure should be given, with the camera on a firm support. This exposure should be made with the second stop opening, and about as fast as you can work the shutter when set for "tif#re." Snapshots can be taken with a box camera on any sunny day or well out in the open light on a cloudy -bright day. Late in the afternoon, or early in the morning, Light is weaker„ anti exposures should be lengthened ac- cordingly. Form the habit of correc't''*++;;, exposure, and your pictures *ill im prove. �. 236 John van Guilde1' • L•• 'i, I LEG E R R- A. BELL, B.A. $uceefleee to . Sohn 11, Beet 'H aim'.

Alone in the world, but with a fortune of her own, she considers looking up her own family whom she has nev- er eever seen. A neighbor, Evan Bow- er, tries to argue her out of it and tells her he Loves her and asks ,lier to marry him. She Promises .te think it over but decides first to see her family. She goes to their address, finds that they are destitute and gradually persuades them: to accept things they need. When the doctor calls to see her mother she notices that he seems particularly interested in her sis- ter. Marjorie goes to church in Brentwood, where her family used to Iive, and becomes very much interested in the young minister there, with whom she later has lunch in thie elty. While at Brent- wood .sthe sees the home her fam- iby' formerly owned, buys it back ' for them and gives the deed to it to her father on Christmas morn- ing. .,It was a long time before the Gay family simmered down to real life again. Betty was just . taking the turkey ,out of the oven and Marjorie was filling the water glasses when there came a ring at the door again. Ted went to open it and there stood Gideon Beaver with a small white package in his hand. It wasn't tied up in ribbons or seals bike a Christ- mas present, though it looked as though it ,wound like to have been. I1 just hod a rubber band around it. Ted welcomed. the young man joy- ously. "Come in!" he cried as though Santa Claus h•imself had appeared at the door. "Oh. I mustn't," said Gideon smil- ing. "I just stopped in to leave this little book. for your sister. I told her I'd send it over and ,this is the first ohanc'e I've Arad. Also I wanted to ask if you folks wouldn't come over to our Christmas service tonight at 'nine o'clock." "Oh, come on in," said Ted, "1 want you to meet Dad and Mother. You aren't in such a hurry you can't stop a minute, are you?" "No, I'm not In a hurry at all!" said 'Gideon smiling, "but I don't believe in intruding on Christmas Day." "Intruding?" said Tied, opening the door wide and flailing this adoned' pas- tor, in. "Where do you get that word?" Then he suddenly turned and caught the look on Betty's face as she came into the dining room ex- ctly oppcsite the hall door, with the great brown steaming turkey on its platter. Betty d•idin't like shim . to invite Gideon heaver' in! Betty would be sore! Now probably Christmas. would all be spoiled! Poor Ted! He could hardly get through the irutroductions. But Marjorie came shining into the room and Welcomed are guest, and Ted felt better. Then his father and mother were both very cordial too, and Ted beamed, tl:uugh coescio•us a'lI the time of Betty and the turkey in the background. • Betty put 'roan the platter and came and stood frowning in the hall door,,, but tine frown suddenly died down. Betty was surprised to find how young and good-looking Ted's boasted minister was. She hesi- tated, wondering -just what to do about the turkey,, and as she heal - ted Marjorie turned and introduc- ed:. her. "This is my twin sister, Mr. Beaver, This is the one I you saw be- fore." And suddenly Betty was swept in- to the circle much •atgairnst her will. But he was interesting -looking, and she roused out of her annoyance anal greeted him pleasantly enough. heoatiiy. "r know everybody will be dielighted." "Oh, 1 couldn't think of intruding that way. Intdleed 1 couldn't. 1 was just easing and thought I would leave the message," "But you haven't had your dinner yet, have you?" dharblengetl Ted wist- fully. "No, I'm just on my way` back to "my boarding house." "That settles it," said Father. "Ted, go and wee if there are enough chairs to go around and Betty, put on another plate!" But suddenly the front door which had the night latah off, opened again, and in walked the doctor. "Well, now, upon my wont if I haven't walked in on a party!" he said. "I beg your pardon. I won't stay but a minute. I just wanted to make aura my patients were all right and fit for turkey." "You're Aust in tlime!" said Mr, Gay happily. "Have you brad your Christmas dinner yet?" "Weld, no, I .haven't yet, but I'm used to waiting. I'1I just look at Mrs. Gay's 'pulse and then, I'll be moving on:" "Went call it brunch then," called out Betty suddenly from the doorway. "Come on, there's plenty to eat. You get the che,i,rs,, Ted, The turkey is already on the table. The more the merriest" .. Phtey all turned and looked r#`# Betty's' g<ry face, so changed from a moment before. Ted breathed a sigh of relief, and the rest gave quick fur- tive glanees.at the doctor. Mr. Gay 'introduced the m'ini'ster and the doctor and they•studied each other a bit cautiously. But they were both straying, there was no question about that " "Dinner is served!" said Betty sud- denly appearing in, the doorway' look- ing very pretty indeed in Marjorie's green knit dress with a bit of red ribbon knotted in her hair. and a =trap of holly on one shoulder, "It'A going to be a tight squame, friends, but we thought it was better than waiting to put another -leaf in the table ands eating a cold dinner." Betty's cheeks were rosy and her eyes wer-•'e" twinkling. She seemed like a new Betty to .Marjorie. The dcctor, without waiting on the order of his goaimg, marched straight over to Betty and pulled out her chair and then took the one next heir. Mrs. Cray smiled and took her place where cushions had been arraunged at her back and feet. The minister found himself seated between Marjorie and Ted. Then Mr.. Gay's voice broke ta- to .the laughter of .getting seated. "Mr. nearer, will you ask the blessing, please?" Marjorie stifled a quick look of surprise. There had. been no asking of blessings so far in the meals she had eaten in her new home, although she reflected they bad been most in- formal, and her father had generally eaten upstairs with her mother. But her heart warmed to the words that were spoken and sae thrilled at the srwect silence that had settled over them- all. This minister certainly was a rare one. How great for Ted to have such a man for a friend! As th'e heads• were lifted the doctor shot a quick keen glance at the minister across from him. But it was the minister tetio spoke first. "Do you mean to tell me, Doctor, that you can always tell which of these twins is which?" -he asked looking from Betty to Marjorie at his side. "Well," said the doctor, "I can always tell that this one is Betty, but I'm not always wo sure which one the other one is!" They all laughed heartily at that. It was Ia, delightful occasion, and everyone enjoyed it to the full. Strange to say neither doctor nor minister seemed to be in a hurry to leave: By this time they were excell en t friends, having discovered a number of tastes in, common. The doctor had inquired where Gideon preached, and Gideon had suggested that he'd better come over phis way and open an office. The dootor said he'd think about lit, and Betty told him they were going to move back there and 8 She seemed like a new Betty to Marjorie. But Gideon Beater had a lot of in- tuition, and he hada seen that turkey. "I'm just delighted to see you all," he said with a comprehensive glance which took them all in, "but I'm not going be stop now. I can tell by the delicious ado's that are going around that dinner is on the table, so I'll just r•un, away now and come back anbther time and cats if I may. Farr' be it from aitee to delay a Chi-istmna,s dinner!" Suddenly the mother spoke nip, al- most eagerly ih"s'eeined. "Why not stay and share it with us?" she asked..

It was just as they were singing the last line of "Silent Night," that Evan Brower walked contemptuous- iy up tale narrow steps, and failing to identify the small im+significant doorbell, in the darkness gave a thun- derous knock on the door. ^ Oomin4g as it did into the sweet - nese of that "Silent, holy night" of„ tangago, it wan se newhat of a n,.l ti.vf 4:eLdJSw.�c': , 1 1 shook.

"I came," said he to Marjorie in a rudely lowered tope, "to take you out' this evening. Can you get your wraps and go at once? Will you need to change?" He glanced down at her pretty knitted dress with annoyance. This was a part of finding her in this lit- tle insiguifi'cant house. in a common neighborhood, that she should not be dressed for the evening! Chnistm-rs night and in a daythne daesis! But Marjorie did not Kook embar- rassed at 'hie evident disapproval.

"Really, Marjorie, I don't see that you are required to do duty all day and evening too!"

If you bad let me know,that you thought of coming this way I would have told. you not to count on Chrdstntas at all as I had made other plans." I' And them Evan turned and stalked Ihaughrttily from the room without any- thing but the merest nod in Mrs. Gay's direction. But Marjorie, her color rising anti her head a bit high, walked coolly to the door with her caller. "Too bad, Evan, to have this, ride for nothing, but it just couldn't be helped," she said sweetly, and s•miled lustful goat ly upon' ham. At the door he turned savagely up- on her and said in a low growl: "When can I see you, alone? In the morning? Will you deign to lunch with me?"' "Why, yee, I . thi•nk 1 cattle'," said Marjorie, considering. "Very well, I'14 catoh you on the, telephone: What is the number here?"

Which will be most convenient for you?" "Eleven!" said Evan crisply. "I'm flying back in the afternoon andi I'•m baking you with me!

(Conti nu ed -.Next Week ) Artificial Respiration Ihtring the next few months much will be Sheard of the Schafer prone pressure method of artificial respira- tion for the season of drowning has commenced and the Sehefer..method is the one that has world wide approval, The campaign inaugurated last sum- mer by the Health League of Canada to reduce the number of drowning fa- talities was based on the use of the wedl-known Schafer meth'o'd; and ant tended to educate the pubitc to the need for longer application of this means of a.rti•ficiai respiration. It was revealed that too often attempts at resuscitation were abandoned either because the supposedly d'Own'ed per- son was immensedi far more than ten minutes or because it was assumed that absence of heart beat or breath- ing meant the victim was dead. The Health League will continue its warn- ings this summer that death should never be admitted until rigor mortis sets in. Various methods of attempted re- suscitation are recorded from the earl- iest ages. Burning and cutting of the skin, the use of boiling water and burning oil whipping and noise were among the more dra.st.io p'roced'ures. Application of heat by warm clay or naives. counter shock, ducking in wa- ter and blows on the soles of the feet and near the heart were»srupposedi to be effective. Other methods includ- ed fumigation, that is, th'e blowing of tobacce. e'tnoke or charcoal fumes in- to the mouth, also the rotting of a patient in a barrel or on a barrel.

But he dances tirelessly, sometimes. varying his program wtith acrobatic feats, un- til by a sign that he alone under- stands, his beloved accepts him. If, during these ecstatic maneuvers a rival mate appears, a battle royal ensues; often one of the fighters will fall 'to earth vanquished, while 'his conqueror, almost equally exhausted, will perch nearby, panting from the ferocity of the struggle. But the boundless valor of the humrmingbird is never so spectacular as when he "takes. on" creatures much larger than himself. He will assail nearly all the common birds, even the crow and the red-sbouldereci hawk dash- ing exploits that put him in a class with- David when he defied Goliath. His weapon is bis tong, neediehlce bill, with which he is said to attack the eyes of his enemies. At any rate such is the swift valor of his inset that I have never seen him fail to rout a diisturirer of his peace.

For this average subject, on a cloudy -bright day, 1/25 second at f.8 lens opening is correct. On a sunny day, with the same subject, 1/25 second at f.11 is proper. jy7OW that spring is here, the days IN seem brighter as well as longer, This apparent brightness may de- ceive some of us into shortening our outdoor exposures -but we should bo cautious in so doing. Underexposure is the most fre- quent fault in amateur snapshots. A picture printed from an underex- posed negative has a harsh appear- ance. The shadows are too black and lack detail, and by comparison the bright areas appear excessively bright. If many of your pictures have this appearance, you should practice giving fuller exposure, either through choice of a larger lens open - lag or longer shutter time. Modern films have broad exposure latitude, to take care of reasonable errors in exposure. But we should not ask too much, and we should remember that a correctly -exposed negative always produces the best. print. When we are in doubt, it ih usually wiser to give a full exposure rather than ora that may be too short. Here are typical correct exposures for the "chrome" type films that most of us prefer for outdoor picture taking: ,h /a itta ai .h� BRILLIANT DAY: Average subject, 1/25 second at all lens opening; open landscape, 1/25 second at f.16; water or beach scenes, 1/25 second at f.22. CLOUDY BRIGHT DAY: Average subject, 1/25 second at 1.8; open landscape, 1/25 at f.11; water or beach scenes, 1/25 at f.16. DULL DAY: Average subject, 1/25 at f.6.3; open landscape, 1/25 at 1.8; water or beach scenes, 1/25 at 1.11. With box cameras on dull days, a very abort time exposure should be given, with the camera on a firm support. This exposure should be made with the second stop opening, and about as fast as you can work the shutter when set for "tif#re." Snapshots can be taken with a box camera on any sunny day or well out in the open light on a cloudy -bright day. Late in the afternoon, or early in the morning, Light is weaker„ anti exposures should be lengthened ac- cordingly. Form the habit of correc't''*++;;, exposure, and your pictures *ill im prove. �. 236 John van Guilde1' • L•• 'i,
