Don't Hurry
There are time when most of us
find ourselves hurr�y'ing up to get
something done, Usually this PhY-
I steal hurrying up is accompanied by
a mental one which tires us more
than the one that is physical,
It might be well for those of us
who are constant hurryers to stop
and try to slow down a hit. It might
surprise us greatly to find we can
accomplish more if we do not hurry.
A famous doctor once told his class
of medical students this: "If a man
severs the jugular vein in his neck,
he will bleed to death in three min-
utes. You can tie that vein in two
minutes—if you do not hurry."
Monday, May 6th. 1940, marked
the one hundredth anniversary of
the postage stamp. Four months
prior to that date, January 10th,
1140, the great boon of penny
postage was introduced as a re-
sult of Rowlands Hill's efforts—
•he use of the adhesive stamp was a
reertral development in postal re-
:orm.
Britain's fist postage stamps
were the famous Penny Black sad
At this time of year with house-
cleaning and gardening there is so
much to do that every homemaker
has a heavy schedule for each day,
but the most important thing in all
this spring and early summer work
is not to let oneself become too
tired. Many women would profit by
remembering the saying made by a
well known figure .in Home Econom-
ics lark in the State of New York,
who said,: "I have so much to do
that I don't know what to do first
so. I think I will take my nap first
and get that o$ my mind."
No one has any sympathy for a
worn, tired, irritable woman. If any
woman finds herself on the verge of
becoming like this she had better
tape herself in hand. She should be-
come a better planner and manager,
to find some time to rest and relax
and to stop hurrying, A famous
beauty writer once said: "No face in
a burry can be beautiful." This is
important to remember..
"Roses in your hat" is a late
Paris slogon.

clares There Would Be

Senator Oairiue R. Wilson, first
woman to be appointed to the Can-
adian Senate, believes if women
wee it npowea•, "there would be
fewer wars."
Addressing the conference of lis-
trictl, Zoete International, at M-
ilani, N. Y., last week she said that
women in Canado faced `'many in,
sults and: disappointments in their
struggle for suffrage."
"In home quarters;' she added,
"it was made more difficult when
thug were told that if they were
given a vote there wouldn't be so
many public worits Programs in
their ,Constituency,"
11rs. Wilson attributed inability
or women to ascend more quickly
to man's political position to their
inclination to "smooth over Prob-
lems rather than to stroke_ out and
remove the evil . . . such as slum
conditions."

WATCH THOSE SUMMER SHADOWS
See that the shadows are properly Illuminated in your summer snapshots
of people. Here, a bright, sunlit sidewalk reflects light up under the hat
brim, and helps give shadow detail, -
AS SUMMER approaches, outdoor
lighting on sunny days becomes
more and more contrasty. The sun-
shine is brighter, the blue sky does
net reflect as much light as a gray
winter sky—and in consequence,
shadows tend to appear stronger
and blacker in your pictures.
Of course, In some pictures you
want strong black shadows, to cre-
ate a desired pictorial effect, But
in most pictures—and especially
snapshots of people -you want de-
tail In all the features. Certainly
you do not desire- deep shadows
around the eyes, nose, and lower
lip -tor these make a person al-
most unrecognizable.'
To avoid such shadows, or get.
detail in them, there are several
methods, The simplest Is to place
your subject In open sjiade—not
under trees—lacing the clear sky.
Then give about double the average
"sunshine" exposure ---say 1/25 see•
and at f/8 lens opening, On average
speed 111m on a bright sunny day.
A second method le to use reflec-
tore, or place, your subject where
there are natural refleOting objects,
For exam$te, in the pieturo above,
a light-colored concrete sidewalk
reflects quite a bit of light up under
the subject's hat brim.'
Excellent reflectors can be made
readily. A white card, or one cov-
ered with crumpled tinfoil, serves
nicely for small areas. A white
sheet also will do.
Backlighting is another device—
really a variation of the "open
shade" method. The subject is
placed with his back to the sun, so
that his face is in shadow, and ex-
posure is about' the same as for an
"open shade" shot, 1n the picture
above, if the subject faced to the
left, you would have backlighting.
The dark background would then
be even more important—for in the
print the subject's face should ap-
Pear lighter than the background,
In taking backlighted pictures, do
not let sunshine strike the lens.
Use a lens hood, or have sotneone
shade the lens without obstructing
its view,
Watch the shadows when you are
taking pictures this summer, See
that they are properly illuminated
—make sure the Contraet isn't 100
great -and you'll gat a bettor eta
feet in your prints,
