Maybe our thoughts in connection with them have some foundation, but whether or not that be the ease we really have no right to judge. There is only One who has that privilege. He is the only Ono who knows the innermost thoughts of anyone of us and He realizes that if we were placed in the same position as the one we are attempt- ing to judge that we would make a much greater mistake in our life'fthan • that one has done. Po we ever stop to think of these things? In• the majority of eases -we just not only think these i thoughts of others but we feel justified in talking them over with some one else: It is an easy: thing to tell some thing with a note of caution, but there are times when people whom we thought 'we could trust have felt it their bounden duty to. broadcast what they have heard. Is it kind for us to tell 'anything but the very beat about .anyone. One time two friends were discussing a man very promin- ent in public life.

V SNAPSWT k BETTER BABY PICTURES sa A new toy, or an old favorite, will help bring. forth a baby's 1\TBARLY everyone takes baby 1 y pictures — either of his own child), or those of friends. And right now snapshots of new arrivals, as well as older children, are Impor- tant because father's, brothers, rela- tives, and friends in the Service get a big "lift" out of receiving pictures from home., A baby's expression, its gestures, its absolute lack of "pose," and the interest In its oyes as it examines a rattle or toy,- make it one of the most fascinating of camera subjects. 'Too many snapshots of babies, however, show Insufficient care on the part of the: taker. Bad back- grounds or poor lighting spoil some, when 'a moment's thought would have led to a much better picture. And today, with a scarcity of film, every click' of the shutter should result in a good picture. Restlessness on the baby's part is the greatest problem but it is one that can be solved quite 'sim- ply. Whon the baby is on his blan- ket in the yard give him something new to play with, something that is brightand shiny, or that makes 'a curious' noise when he shakes it. Wait until it absorbs his attention, and snap him without. delay when he comes forth with a cute expres- sion or pose.. Another way to restrict his activ- ities is by picturing him in his high chair, crib, or play pen. The high chair, 15 especially useful if you want to snap a close-up head -and - shoulder .picture, usiiiga portrait attachment over the lens of your camera. A baby should always be pictured as 'a personklity in his own right. As a matter offact, he has a life of his own, a world :of toys and personality. rattles, fluffy -brown bears or wool. ly dogs, and shiny cups that can be waved and banged against things. Those are the things that a baby likes, and they should be associated with him in pietures whenever pos. Bible. They are as important In his Picture as costumes and scenery in a play. Assuming that the picture is to be taken outdoors, you should first of all locate a place for the baby in' nice open shade; that is, a shady spot well lighted by the sky—not under a tree or porch roof. After getting him all set on his blanket, in his crib or play pen, seat yourself com- fortably in a chair about six or eight feet from your subject and, with your camera properly focused and ready to shoot instantly, watch your viewfinder for that moment when he comes through with a mil- lion .dollar smile or pose .... then shoot. With °a box type camera you'll , have to wait for that moment when the baby is not moving before click- ing the shutter. If it Is one with variable lens apertures and shutter speeds, it is better (light permit- ting) to use a shutter speed of 1/50 of a second, or faster, so that move- ment of the Inky during exposure will not cause a blurred spot in your picture. To assure proper exposure it is wise to invest in one of the ten cent pocket.exposure guides which you can buy at most dealers in photo. graphic materials. • Here's `to 'better baby pictures and don't. forget .to have extra prints made to send' to friends and relatives in the Service.'
