A RE you picture-blind? Do you have what it takes to see a pic. ture? “None so blind as those who will not see,” says an old maxim, which, applicd to picture taking, means none so blind as those who don’t know how to see and will not learn, In this respect camera users are, of course, differently constituted. There aro those who are quite satisfied with snapping good record pictures, likenesses of their friends and rela- tives, their pets, treasured objects and the houses they live in. In many cases, that seems to be as far as they can go in seeing pictures, because they lack the instinct for picking out artistic composition in nature or 1*cognizing picture elements in hu- man activities when they encounter them. Artistic sense and the feel for human interest, both are qualities 1 which some are endowed more generously than others, Driving along a country road on a summer’s day, picnic-bound, camera in the car, one person comes upon a group of men and women in a farm- yard. They are gathered about a t-sleeved man standing in a cart. The man is gesticulating and point. ing to a mowing machine. Other farm implements are about the iplace. To the left of the group stands ia lofty haystack, like a giant mushs room. To the right, a dilapidated old 1 rn, A dog and some chickens are running about.

But the next fellow halts his car, snaps picture .after picture of the scene, close up and from a distance, making some shots with a filter over the lens so as not to lose the clouds, For human in- terest, artistic setting and universal appeal, he is proud to match these pictures of a country auction with the other fellow’s picnic pictures, precious indeed though the latter may be as souvenirs of a good time and memory pictures of friends. For those who miss pictures the other fellow instinctively sees and are envious of his success, the so- lution is to learn, because it certain- ly can be done. Many have surprised themselves and achieved success by mentally framing sections of scenery as they travel about and asking themselves, “Will that make an in- teresting picture? Has it pictorial value?” Practicing picture taking and com. paring your prints with accepted ex- amples of good pictures is another way to learn. And here is still ane other suggestion: : Many amateurs take good pictures without knowing it. Time and again, a well composed picture may be found in a small area of a print that as a whole is pictorially poor. Get out your old snapshots and search for small areas you think have the elements of good composition, Then from the negatives have enlarged prints made of these particular sec tions. You will not only learn a lot about composition, but chances are that among these enlargements you will get some amazingly good pice tures you didn’t know you had. John van Guilder, Everyday Cooking Miracles BY VIRGINIA FRANCES Director Hotpoint Electric Cookery Institute ' . Homemakers, we've got a real double-barreled scoop for you today. It concerns an all-of-a-sudden choc- olate cake and a quick-as-a-flash broiled butterscotch icing. No, that’s not a mistake—the word real- ly is “broiled.” And as their names | 3.

GE 4 The versatile broiler of the electric range finds a new use in this delicious i broiled butterscotch icing. imply, these two delectables can be made in three shakes of the well- known lamb’s tail. It almost seems as if this cake were thrown together without rhyme or reason. But just wait until your family pass their verdict. Theyll probably sentence you to a lifetime of making this cake with its won- derful broiled icing. Of course, we must give credit where credit is due and in this case a lot of credit goes to the miracle oven of the Hotpoint electric range where this cake blos- somed into feathery-lightness, and reached lofty heights under the magic of the oven’s heat-and-mois- ture control. Of course, in a way, you can’t call this successful bak- ing “magic,” because magic works only once in a while, but the mod- ern electric oven can always be de- pended upon to turn out a glorified “something-to-eat.” ! Here is the cake recipe: B Quick Chocolate Cake i cup sugar 1 teaspoon bak- 1 cup shortening ing powder 1; cup milk 14 cup cocoa 1 egg 17 teaspoon 174 cups general soda. purpose flour 14 cup boiling 74 teaspoon salt water 1. Into mixing bowl place sugar, shortening, milk and egg (unbeaten). 2. Sift into above mixture (but do not mix) flour, salt, baking pow- der, cocoa and soda. As you see, you can bake your cake in a cold or preheated oven, according to your preference, for there are no “musts” in electric cookery. Of course, you will set your automatic timer clock for the required baking time and let the chef’s brain, as it is called, clock your cooking period for you. And now for the broiled icing. You can put the cake right on the plate on which you are going to serve it and spread the icing over the top of the warm cake, whisk it under your smokeless-spatterless, even-browning electric broiler for a few seconds and there you are! Here's the recipe for a delie ciously different icing: Broiled Butterscotch Icing 3 tablespoons 3 tablespcons butter cream (scalded), 14 cup light 14 cup shredded, brown sugar cocoanut 1.

PA, Stress Need For Care Of Child Of Pre- School Age State Health Secretary Claims Period Between Infancy And Six Years Determines Health In Later Life Harrisburg, Sept. 16th “Pre-school children need just as much atten- tion from their parents as babies if they are to develop into strong, robust citizens,” Dr. Edith Mac- Bride-Dexter, Secretary of the De- partment of Health, pointed out to- day. “It is a mistake to think that once a child has passed the baby stage he can shift for himself. Futhermore the job of bringing up a family should not be left en- tirely to the mother. Both parents must combine their efforts to bring out the best in their child- ren and help them form such habits that their minds and bodies will develop to their full capacity. “In the pre-school period every month of a child's life is packed with new experiences. With the help of each experience he will develop accordingly, and as he develops his experiences become wider and wider until he is a fully developed dhild, ready to enter school. “It is during this period from babyhood to school days that the parents must be on the alert to help guard the child’s health, and aid him in the development of good habits. These habits are im- portant in his later life. “The child who is a ‘ery-baby’ in school is usually the child that was babied too much at home. His parents neglected to teach him the need of independence and courage in his first few years. “Children learn things only by doing them, not by having par- ents tell them how they should be done. At the end of the first year a child should be encouraged to pull off his own stockings. By the time he is six he will not only be ready for school, but he will be able to dress himself in the morn- ing, and undress himself at night. “All children are not alike and the duty of the parents to themselves with their children and learn their habits at an early stage. Some children weigh more than others at certain ages, while some have special tel- ents that others do not possess. “As an example, Harry may be able to sing, but cannot get any fun out of playing with blocks. Tommy on the other hand may be adept at handling mechanical toys, but cannot carry a tune to save his life. It is up to the parents to learn these traits in their child- ren, and then direct them along the proper line. “There are some questions that all parents want to know. How fast should a child grow? What food is best for him? How many teeth should he have? How can he be helped to form good habits? These, and a dozen of similar questions can best be answered by it is acquaint your family physician, or your dentist. “But the development of the child is left entirely up to the par- ents. They must help him grow up from babyhood to school age. Each child must be helped to the fullest extent his individual possibilities. “It is human nature to turn to the weaklings, and neglect the sturdy, but the average child needs parental care just as much as the frail child, or the slow child. “One of things for the matter the most important parents to consider is of health. The foun- dation for health is laid in the first six years of a child's life. The child who lives a regular life, eats well-planned meals at regular hours, gets plenty of sleep, and plays vigorously in the out-of- doors, has the best chance of lay- ing a good foundation for future health.” CR PLANT COVER CROP A winter cover crop of rye may be sown now to improve the ap- pearance of the garden and to save costly plant foods from leaching out of the top soil. One peck for 7000 square feet or 6 to 7 pecks an acre is sufficient seed to use, say Penn State vegetable garden- ers.

Rules Were ‘Tough’ On Store|Our Heartiest Interesting comparisons between present day working conditions for store clerks and the hardships en- dured by them eighty years ago may be drawn in a “rule card” recently brought to light in a nearby city. The set of printed rules for clerks was published and used by this de- partment store in 1854, and is es- pecially notable at this time, when forty-four hour work schedules are enforced in Columbia in order to give employees a maximum of leis- ure time. The rules follow: “The following rules will be put in force at once: “Store must be opened promptly at 6 A. M. and remain open until 9 P. M. the year round. “Store must be swept, counters, base shelves and show cases dusted. Lamps trimmed, filled and chimneys cleaned, pens made, doors and win- dows opened, a pail of water and a scuttle of coal must be brought in A SMILE A smile costs nothing, but gives much. It enriches those who re- ceive, without making poorer those who give, It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so mighty that he can get along with- out it, and none is so poor but that he can be made rich by it. A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in business, and is the countersign of friendship. It brings rest to the weary, cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and is Nature's best antidote for trouble.
