Informal portraits are easy to make and they add interest and variety to your album. VUMMER is au ideal 'season for in. formal portraits of your faintly and friends, and they're just about es easy to take as any ether snap- shot, Naturally, such picitu•es are not to be compared with the expert- ly -lighted, skillfully executed por- traits made by experienced motes - 'atonal studio photographers. Tho well. -made informal outdoor study; however, has an interest and atnos- pliere allits own. Here are several points to re- member: The subject should be completely at ease and in a natural pose. This is readily obtained by .seeing to It that he is in a comfortable position, with his attention concentrated on anything lint the camera. ` Get close enough so that the Per- son's head tills most of the picture 'space. If your camera doesn't focus nether than five or six feet, an ince- pensive portrait attachment; which merely sips.over the lens,' will per- mit making real close-up shots. Watch the background—any obi- Ijpctionable objects will detract from the center of interest. Use a low camera angle, or place. the,subject on some slight elevation;. such as the crest of a knoll, so your can take advantage of the slay for a plain but effective background. To obtain a good Interscan of a person, you need reasonably soft lighting. That is, shadows that are well illuminated and fairly bright in, solation to the directly sunlit fea- tures. Instead or facing directly into the bright noonday sunlight, have the subject turn so the strong light comes well from one side of the face, tben time the exposure to re- cord detail in the shaded side of timo face. Iu this way you will elinmineto the 'dark shadows—so noticeable in pictures taken at this m:hne of day—that appear below the nose and eyebrows. There are several other good methods of obtaining soft lighting. A. newspaper or large white blotter• placed near the subject's face, but out of time range of the view finder, will reflect light into the dart: areas, softening the harsh shadows and beteging out detail, Or you, can. Place your subject in the open shade —08 osi the shady side of a house under an open -sky, and- give the normmmal, exposure for sucli condi- Follow these simple suggestions and you'll get good informal Por- traits.

Porter, ex, M.P., to Aliso Mary Alice I might have had opportunities to know and meet Lord Beaverbrook had I been free to take a position which was offered me in 1021: the advertis- ing director of the Daily Express--» Lord Beavorbrook's newspaper—cane to me to invite me to become the pro- motion manager of the Express—a very important and well-paid job. This man had been with the Hermes worth newspaper when I was with them -1906-1I, He said, "I remember the work you did when you were with the Daily Mail." I had to explain that I had a 5 years' Contract with the ad- vertising agency I was serving, and so could not consider his suggestion. He had said, "I avant you to meet our directors. St'e'p menace the salary right," Later I suggested to hint tint his newspaper should become a 0110110 of • our agency on an arrangement whlelt would permit Inc to act as pro- motion man for his paper. We asked , a fee 1000 guineas for time use of my service. To persuade time Express to engage me on the proposed terms I prepared a plan calculated to secure more advertising for it. Time adver- tising manager had said that he want- ed to print a 1G -page paper instead of the 12 -page issue which was its regular size, but to warrant an addi- tion of lour pages would 1110011 the getting of about 1.1 cohunne of extra advertising each clay --or, in terms of money, about $0000 eptra revenue per day. For sone reason or other our proposal to the Express was not tak- en up, but several years later the ad- vertising manager of time Express said to me that he had succeeded in adding the additional four pages daily in less than six months' time, and he added time sweet words, "Thanks to you". So Reshape the plan which I had snbmit- �,,weilgt CAIS Ihi 140 6000 CONDITION REMEMBER : The slower you drive, the mare you save! Give yourself and your serviee station man a break.

Every gallon counts: see that not a drop is wasted: our Fighting Forces need all the gasoline they can get. ted was used after all, and hnd proved effective; and the Express got it for nothing! - During the time when uur proposal to the Express was .being considered, its general manager came to see rte. This man is a Canadian. Lord Beav- erbrook found him operating an el- evator in a Toronto ]motel. Later he had this man ---a University student.— work tudent—wont under him when he—then Sir Max Aitken—was Minister of Infor- mation in the tVorld War No. 1. This man, Robet'ston, wanted me to go to see a certain big ail company which was about to put on an adver- tising campaign for a new candle. Tho company haci said to time Express that it would be given £5000 worth of ad- vertising if it could submit a good idea or ideas which would justify its getting the advertising. I was able, fortunately, to provide ideas which were accepted, and so the Express, alone among London news - I papers, got its 25000. Our advertis- ing agency got a fee of 50 guineas 'for my work, so we diel get a little money as a consequence of the visit to 1110 of the Express's advertising. manner, and later of its business manager. At this time in the Express's his- tory, its circulation was round about a million copies daily. The Daily Mali's circulation was in excess of a million and a half copies daily. But the Express began going after circu- lation in am big way. It wus published simultaneously in Loudon, Manchester and Glasgow, and by 'means of prenn- aums and other inducements, it ran its circulation above the two million mark, and robbed the Daily Mail of its Iong-held circulation leadership. For a number of years Beverley Baxter was on the Daily and on the Sunday Express, es editor—another Canadian who had won Beaverbroolc's' favor, Baxter has written an auto- - biegmaphieal book, "Strange- Street," which tells intimately and fully the niarveIlous story of his life up to about five years ago. If you can get holo of this book, you will read it eag- erly, because of its -compelling' interest and revelations.
