I Lot Angeles, Calif. Doffing the. j
Lenny in Los Angeles' lifts (eleven I
Itors to you) costs the city's hostel
iries an" easy $100,000 yearly as a
chivalrous tribute to Milady.
But far from bemoaning such ex-
'fpense, P.' G.' B. Morriss, manager
of the Hotel Clark, told a group of
eastern, railroad and travel repre
sentatives that the sum was little
- enough, and eladlv - would be
doubled to keep Los Angeles on top
as the world's most courteous me
tropolis. "
Morriss based his figures on the
' mileage turnings of the Clark's bat
tery of passenger elevators. A six
months' survey, he said, showed
, that the Clark's lifts are compelled
to travel an average of 13,250 ex
tra vertical feet per day because of !
the excess space occupied by hats
v yern oyer thy chest gf polite males
;5n the "presence of women passen-
- geri ouring peak load periods.
j' , Every . such chapeau, carried
, athwart a manly bosom takes up
pace ordinarily occupied by half a
passenger hence compelling extra
trips, Morriss said. This informa
tion was given the harassed agents
assembled, in the Clark to iron out
' conflicting wrinkles in the arrival
dates of what agents said would be
some of the largest organised tours
' 'ever to come to Southern California.
- (These tours aje aji scheduled for
the coining summer. ""??
i "Where the .Clark's elevators now
travel an average of 46.5 miles per
day. at least 17 per cent of this
total! our survey : proved, may be
attributed to dead-heading male
hats of all kinds." Morriss said.
' "Our own hotel's contribution to this !
; gallantry averages roughly $4,200
. yearly in the form of extra man-
power, wear and tear on machinery
gables and equipment and increased
power consumption.
' 5 "This figure multiplied by the
i number of buildings and hotels
H t where equal courtesy is practiced,
, easily runs the city's bill for this
form of gentility, past the $100,000
mark. It is, however, a happy ex-
pense and offers dramatic proof
that far from being calloused by
' the so-called feminist movement,
today's average male is fundament
ally the gallant courtier of his great
grandfather's day at least in Los
Angeles."

FURNITURE dealers report a sub
stantial Increase in business. Are
you numbered among those who have
refurnished a room or added new
furniture or decorations? .
If so you should take a picture of
this rejuvenated room. Instead of
merely writing friends or relatives
about the new dining room, bedroom
or living room suit you can send
them pictures. Maybe you have a new
nursery!
Don't put off taking these pictures
any longer for making them is Lot
at all difficult: In fact vou will en-
Joy it Here are a few pointers that
may help you in making your nrst
shots.
If nn takm vonr Interior clotures
In the daytime the chances are that
you will have to take a time ex
noanra nnleia vour camera Is
equipped with a very fast lens, say
f.8.5 or faster. If a time exposure Is
necessary yon will have to nee a tri
pod or else place the camera on some
solid support such as a table. Even
with an fJtA lens you should have
some substantial suDoort for your
camera for you will probably find it
necessary to take your snot at l5tn
or 1lOth of a second, and at sneeds
slower than l26th of a second It Is
extremely difficult to hold the camera
steady. Any movement ot the camera
will cause a blurred picture.
The secret of success in indoor Die-
tures lies In controlling the light
reaching the various parts of the
room to be nlctured. To beein with.
never point your earners directly at
tha window or dnnr thrnnffh which
the greatest amount of light Is com
ing. Keep the light behind or to the
side of the camera. If, as sometimes
happens, a sunny window is in a
nartlcular Dart of the house you want
to take, you can eliminate sun-glare
by a very simple trick. Pull the shade
of that nartlcular window clear down
and keep It down for an exposure
long enough to give you the. otner
features and details. Then, close the
shutter and run the shade up to Its
normal position. Now, go back to the
camera and, without changing the
film or the camera s oosltlon, open
the shutter again for a halt second
longer. ,
It la a rood Idea to use a very tmall
lens stop In taking indoor pictures,
because you want detail. Focus on a
point about halt-way between the
camera and the far side of the room;
then, when the lens Is stopped down
you will find that practically every
thing is In sharp focus.
Avoid Including large nieces ot
furniture in the foreground, lest they
take up more space in the picture
than they deserve. - -
Exposure time will Tory, oi course,
with the brilliance of the daylight
and the degree to which the wails
reflect light. On a bright day, pic
tures in a predominantly light col
ored room can be taken with an ex
posure of five or ten seconds. On dull
days, in dark rooms having only one
window, you will need as much as
five minutes, with the lens at .16.
Interior pictures serve, too, as
"memory Insurance" tor In years to
come when members of your family
have "grown up" they will enjoy
looking at the snaps of the "old
homestead" taken when they were
youngsters.
