tired; •
--Give them 'the couches where the
angels sleep.
Let them wake whole again to new
dawns fired
-With sun, not war. And may their
peace be deep.
Remember where, the broken bodies
lie.
And give them things they like. Let

TODAY
'Look to this day,
For it is life, the very life of Life,
Por in its brief course lie - all the
varieties' of existence;
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty—
Por yesterday is but a Dream
And tomorrow is only a Vision
But today;
'Well -lived snakes' every yesterday a
Dream of Happiness,
And every tomorrow a Vision of
Hope,
Look well, therefore, to this day.
Such is the Salvation of the dawn.

BLESSING ON THE WOODS
Reprinted from The Conning Tower
in the New York Herald Tribune of
August 29, 1933, in memory of -the
author, Arthur Guiterman, born Nov-
ember 20, 1871; died January 11, 1948
Blest be our woods of hemlock, maple
pine,
Balsam and birch, dear Lord, our
woods and thine!
Blest be their bubbling springs
their rippled lakes,
Their ponds, and every laughing
brook that makes
Rainbows and foam and crystal
hopes for trout;
Blest be the trails that wander in and
out
Among gray boulders , drowned in
soft green seas
Of velvet moss; Oh, blest be all of
these!
Blest be the woods and they that
dwell therein:
The scolding squirrel and his gentler
kin,
The friendly chipmunk and the timid
hare;
Blest be the graceful mink, the sham-
bling bear,
The beaver on his dam, the drum-
ming grouse,
The hawk that loves the sky, the
white -foot mouse.
The antlered buckthat paces,proud
they all!
With doe and dappled fawn, blest be
thy all!
K •
Lord bless the woods for perfect love.
Buses,
For balm that heals the soul in care
and stress!
Keep them forever fragrant, cool and
sweet!
From 'thunderbolt and flame, from
gale and sleet,
Front avalanche, from torrent, drought
and blight.
From all that is unclean, from ruth-
less might
That gives to desolation valley, glen
And mountainside. God bless our
woods! Amen.
HAPPINESS
Our happiness mainly depends on
the freedom that reigns within us; a
freedom that widens with every good
deed and contrast 'beneath acts of
evil. —M. Maeterlinck.

INDOOR' PICTURE MAKING

This •excellent informal portrait was made

A MONG the photographic news of
1I, recent weeks, none has been
more heartening than the disclosure
that despite the scarcityof flash
and flood bulbs, it is possible to look
forward to uninterrupted indoor
picture making for the duration.
The reason is that with today's fast
pan films; ordinary household lamps
can be satisfactorily used for photo-
graphic lighting purposes.
The question, of course, is "How?"
And the answer, in short, is "Just
place the bulbs in regular cardboard
photo reflectors and give longer ex-
posures than those required when
using photo' lamps. There's nothing
at all 'difficult about it.
For instance, with one 100 -watt

graphic reflectors, the. exposure

long as would berequired for similar

If you ,don't have an exposure cal-
culator, here's a lighting arrange-
ment which will give you good re-
sults for informal indoor portraiture
or small group pictures. Place a 150 -
watt bulb, in reflector, to the right
of the camera and about five feet
distant from the subject. The light
should be high enough so that it
shines down on the subject as light
front the top of•a window might do.
Next, place a 100 -watt bulb, in re-
flector, about five feat from the
subject, but this time to the left of
the camera and in a low position.
The purpose of this light is to
brighten the shadows cast by the
more powerful bulb. The correct ex-
posure with extra -fast pan film will
the be about 1/5 second at 1/8,
or one full second at the largest
opening on a box camera, >
