To further facilitate the problem
of providing adequate shipping-

Greater care than ever before is
necessary on the part of mailers, in

Parcels should be packed com-

DID YOU EVER ...,`..,
WONDER?
If any birds have feathers whose
colors "run" in the rain?
The African continent may boast
of being exclusive home of a
Most remarkable family of birds, the
toura'cas, or plantain -eaters. These
birds, which vary in size from about
that of a crow to giant species ap-
proaching the size of a peacock, are
unique on three different counts,
Fleet, they are :the only birds
adhose feathers actually contalin•
greens pigment. There are many
birds, of course, whose feather jack-
ets look greens but in all except the
tounaco, the green dolor is due to the
structure of the feathers (prismatic
cells causing white light to be re-
fnaoted, Winging out the green nays
i•t comim.hhs not to any pigment or
green -colored substance in the body
of the feathers.
Second, they are the only known
living creatures capable of menu-
factumiug a metal'k: element by body
.chemistry. The flight -feathers -con-
tain a unique pigment ealled turacin,
which contains nearly 6 per cent cop-
per. Being' shy, treetop-dryvelling
birds thgt feed practcally exclusive-
ly on fruits, for the eating of which
they are. provided with large and
peculiarly formed beasts, they do not
obtain the copper from the soil. Iu-
deed, captive b0m'a,cos have con-
tinued to evolve turi'acin with its
doper ooirtent year after year where
not sin iota of mineral 111atter was
obt>at11abie by the birds.
Third, the .bright red pigment,

MAKING BETTER USE OF LIGHT
A combination of baok and top lighting is principally responsible for
the fine pictorial effect of this snapshot. Keep an eye on the direction of
the light, and you'll be able to produce equally effective results.
j MONG the fundamental tools of
1 3. all photographers, light holds an
unequaled position. But most of us
take the sun, and flash or flood
lamps, almost for granted. We do
not step to realize how much the
direction of light means to a pic-
ture.
If you watch carefully you'll see
that iu most instances light strikes
your subjects from one of three
major directions—front, side, or
back. Outdoors those forms of i1 -
lamination are normally tempered
by a toad) of top lighting, but each
of those types produces a definite
effect. Remember that, and you'll
find that you can use light to con
trod the quality and mood of your
snapshots.
Front, or flat lighting, which is
the kind you get when the sun is
behind the camera, is, for instance,
rather routine and ordinary in ef-
fect. It does not result in too attrac-
tive btu/loafed-white prints, but it
will give you perfectly acceptable
.'eeor'd pictures, Pictorially the
light is too low in contrast to give
the most pioasing effect.
Side lighting is probably much
better salted to general purpose
photography. It almost invariably
provides a pleasant balance of
highlights and shadows; it helps to
achieve a third dimensional effect
in your pictures; it emphasizes tex-
tures; and it provides the basic
contrast necessary to brilliant pic-
tures. Use it often.
The third division is back light-
ing—the kind that exists when the
sun is shining directly at the cam-
era.
amera, With back lighting you'll get
the type of effect found in oar illus-
tration, but in this ease a reflector
was also used to brighten the side
of the subject nearest the camera.
It's just the thing too for making
outdoor silhouette, or semi -mil-
houette, pictures. We good for land
soap° studies. And, if you use a.re-
flector to brighten the shadow,side
of your subjects, it's a highly ef-
fective lighting for portraiture.
There's just one thing to watch out
for; don't let the Dun shine direct-
ly into the camera lens. Use a leve
hood or shade your camera with
your hand.
Watch the light, and you'll be
able to 000 your sticture .quality
move steadily upwards.
