AMERA manufacturers spend
thousands of dollars each year
in preparing and printing instruec-
‘tion books which are enclosed with
each camera. These booklets give
valuable information on the use and
0 care of the camera but the average
~ person looks only far enough into
the instructions to find out how to
"insert the film and right there they
stop.
~ From the mechanical viewpoint
the box type camera gives us just
_ @bout the acme of simplicity. It
usually has two “stops” for snap-
shots and one for “time exposures.”
However, the manual accompanying
it is worth a careful reading.
~ With certain types of folding
cameras, you have more to consider
if you are to expect good, clear,
sharp pictures and the manual
should be studied by all means.
You may have from three to nine
‘apertures to choose from and shut-
ter speeds ranging from one-half
to 1/500 second, depending on the
‘type of camera. In addition to these
| split second shutter speeds the cam-
| era is probably equipped for time
exposures.
| Before loading your camera with
film consult the manual so that you
, will understand just what is happen-
~ Ing when you do certain things—
~tand why.
In a recent snapshot contest con-
| ducted by sixty-four leading news-
{papers scattered throughout the
United States, the picture shown
above was awarded one of the
major prizes in the national awards.
The snapshooter who took the pic-
ture was far from being old in ex-
perience but it is quite evident that
he had made a study of his hobby
and knew what he was doing and
what could be expected of his
camera.
Study the composition of your
pictures, that is, “compose” your
picture in your viewfinder before
clicking the shutter. Perhaps by
stepping forward a few feet you can
eliminate some incongruous object
—something that may really detract
from the point of interest in the
picture. Try viewing a scene or sub-
ject from different angles, then
choose the one you think the most
attractive.
Too many snapshooters, when
taking pictures of their friends,
have them stand as straight as a
ramrod and look directly at the
camera. That may be all right for a
record picture but the snap would
be much more interesting if people
in it were doing something. |
If you will give just a little
serious thought to your snapshoot-
ing and thoroughly know the limita-
tions or versatility of your camera
you will be ‘well rewarded with in-
teresting, artistic or story-telling
pictures which you will be proud to
show your friends and which will
win their admiration.

SAGAS or THE SKIES
Manager, Aviation Division, Sales Department
Standard Oil Company of Pennsylvania
T was the year 1921. For months the U. S. Postal Depart:
ment had been laying its plans for the great experiment
which would prove whether the mail could be carried by plane
lat night or would continue to be transferred to the railroads,
A squadron of volunteer pilots, cream of the nation’s aviation
service, await-
‘ed the word for
the take-off.
At North Platte, A
Neb., orders came
to Jack Knight at
twilight. He was
assigned to the
night division be- §
tween there and

fires to his des-
tination. At mid-
might he landed
at Omaha on a
poorly lighted
field. According
to plans, his part
in the undertak-
ing had ended
successfully. ha
But something
(had gone wrong
lelsewhere. The
volunteer pilot who was to take
Knight's load of mail from Omaha
[to Chicago had been forced down
while trying to reach Omaha. The
'great experiment was headed for
‘failure. Unless , . J .! Knight sprang
{to the rescue.
Ordering his plane re-fueled he
"strode to the hangar to study a
imap-of the country between Omaha
‘and Chicago. He had never trav-
eled the route before, either by
plane or train. He was warned
‘that snow squalls lay in his path
‘and flying conditions were hazard-
ous. Impatiently he waved the ob-
«'jections aside and curtly ordered
his plane made ready. At 1 o’clock
jin the morning, he roared into the
'sky and nosed his machine east-
ward.
Through the long hours. he
fought his way against gales that
tossed his ship around like a cork
land snow that blotted out even the
‘sight of his propellor. At Iowa
(City, where he was due to refuel,
‘he hurtled towards the earth in a
vain search for the airfield. Only
an occasional twinkling light in-
formed him that he was over a
community that he thought to be
Iowa City. Of an airfield there was
no sign at all. For 15 minutes he
circled the town and zoomed as
close to the ground as he dared
in the darkness. Then, just as a
hasty glance at his instrument
board told him that he had only
a few pints of fuel left, a red light
sprang out of the darkness to his
left. His circling over the city had
aroused a watchman who had set
off a flare at the airport, which
flicials had neglected to leave
lighted.
. Knight swung down to the land-
ing field, hastily refueled and
soared into the sky once more. For
another two hours he fought his
way against snow and wind until,
at last, he battled through to clear
weather. As dawn broke over
Lake Michigan he came to a pers
fect landing at the Chicago airport,
He had made possible the first con-
tinuous transcontinental flight of
mail by air, for from there the
mail “went through” to New York,

than ever before. There is a rumor
The nomination of radio’s “homi-
est” couple goes to Fred Allen and
his talented and pretty wife, Port-
land Hoffa. Inci-
dentally, that is
really Mrs. Allen’s
maiden name. Her
father, ‘a: Dn
Hoffa, named his
daughters after
the cities in which
they were born
and the lanky,
drawling comedi-
an’s heckler first
saw light in the
Oregon metropo-
Portland Hoffa lis. Go through
the lists of those
who attend first nights of Broadway
shows, and big society affairs and
you’ll never come across the names
of the Fred Allens. She says she
doesn’t own a single evening dress
and has no intention of buying one
because they never go anywhere.
They live modestly in a two-room
apartment.
*+* Seen at the studios: Major
Bowes arm-in-arming it with two of
his amateur “one-man bands’—
Carlton Morse chatting with Antony
Smythe, who plays Father Barbour,
in his “One Man’s Family——Bob
Burns driving up to the studios in his
rattletrap car with Bing Crosby in
the rumble seat.
*** Newest comedy team on the air-
lanes is composed of Deems Taylor
and June Walker. The versatile
Taylor is one of
radio’s subtler hu-
morists, paired off
with June, he's
bringing many
chuckles to the
armchairs. For
many years Miss
Walker has been
acknowledged as
one of Broadway's
finest light com-
edy stars, but she
Deems Taylor Das never given
: much attention to
radio prior to her
current series on Sigmund Romberg’s
Tuesday evening stanzas.
*** Sylvia Sydney spent thirty
hours in “script reading” rehearsal
for her recent Radio Theatre pro-
gram before she went to her first
studio rehearsal. Movie stars who
have not time to return to Broadway
for occasional stage plays make good
use of their opportunities to do Radio
Theatre programs and rehearse con-
scienciously for the Monday evening
CBS hours.

listening more closely to their popular
Sunday afternoon radio adventures
along radio row that the script will
soon call for a definite decision by
Helen Claire, who plays Betty Gra-
ham, which of her two microphone
suitors she will accept.
*«* Ozzie Nelson is wearing a much
broader smile these days. “His bride,
lovely Harriet Hilliard, singing star
of his programs
with Bob Ripley,
is back in town.
Right after the
marriage this fall,
Harriet was given
her biggest movie
chance and has
been busy in Hol-
lywood making the
picture with Fred
Astaire and Gin-
ger Rogers. Now
with the filming
over for a while,
Harriet is glad to
be back with her handsome husband
and ditto for Ozzie.

*** Mrs. Elaine Sterne Carrington,
one of America’s greatest novelists,
is now also a radio script writer. She
is doing the thrillingly romantie
series “Forever Young,” which is now
being heard over the NBC red net-
work.
*** The happiest man in radio is
James Melton, famous tenor who is
heard Friday nights over NBC. The
reason is that when he went to
Ocala, Fla., for the holidays, his en-
tire family got together for the first
time in ten years.
*** Rapidly becoming one of the
most beloved characters in radio is
“Luke Ferguson,”
played by the
versatile Cliff Ar-
quette in Edgar A.
Guest's Tuesday
night program.
“Welcome Valley.”
There is no one in
radio who plays a
dry-voiced philos-
opher with the
-ease that Arquette
does. His first ra-
dio work had him
Clift Arquette
playing “Aunt
Hetty,” famous
comedy character on the Pacific
Coast.
*** Margaret Santry, who inter=
views famous names in the “Tea At
The Ritz” program Mondays, Wed=- |
nesdays and Fridays over CBS, is not
limiting herself to social register
names, but is now quizzing all famous
women.
*** The Revelers, radio’s most fa-
mous male quartet, are now singing
comedy songs as well as serious ones
—a noted departure for this quartet.

somewhat lower prices are expected on

BUTTER prices are up and there
