Good Photos Often Left Out For Lack Of Space By CARLTON MORRIS Gatesville.—Dining the course of a year most newspapers photo graphers make a number of pic tures that do not get into the papers.

Very often they are not sure about the heht and will use dif ferent openings on their cameras to bracket the subject so that one usable picture may be obtained. It was once reported by a na tional magazine reporter that out of two or three thousand pictures, he made one that he was really proud of and one that he consid ered outstanding. That is about the average of most photograph ers. However the Index editor and photographer made a number of pictures last year that never got into the paper and are now being presented in the belief that they are as good and maybe better than some that, were used during Early last year, tile editor and family went on vacation (and hope to go again this year) and on this trip, picture taking was devoted almost exclusively to movies, Oniv one* till shot was made.
