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

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.

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!

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.”

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. Yet it can not be
