HOW many Snapshot Ootid mem
bers hare really good pictures
of the family pets? not Just "pop
shots" snatched hurriedly without
much attention to Idea or back
ground, but pictures with expression
and action that give a genuine key
to the pet's character?
Pictures like this are well worth
all the planning and patience they
require and indoors is a good place
to take them because it is so much
easier to associate the pet with a
"home" background that Identifies
It as a member of the family.
Frequently humor can be obtained
In these Indoor pictures a frolic
some kitten tangled up in a skein of
yarn and looking baffled, or snatch

faucet; a puppy harking excitedly

Millie with brown eyea aymnathetlc
and thoughtful the paddle-fooie!
cocker spaniel pup almost lost be
tween his enormous ears.
There is a delightful field here,
too, for the photographer who likes
to experiment with lighting effects.
Consider, for example, the long
furred white cat posed on a window
sill in silhouette, so that the out
door light, diffused through the
window curtains, surrounds him
with a bright silken glow.
Indoor animal pictures can b
made either with daylight or ama
teur flood bulbs. Supersensitive
film should be used, because of its
extra speed. Where direct sunlight .
streams into a room and Illuminates
the subject, exposures can be almost
as brief as outdoors. Where sunlight
is diffused through, curtains, it
should be aided with amateur flood
lights. At night, two big No. 3 amateur
flood bulbs in reflectors four feet
from the subject giro enough light
for snapshots .with bo cameras; the .

pets demand mors light,, or lights

be used over the lens, for close-ups
of small pets, without changing the
exposure time. '
It's all simple so firs away.

By L. L. STEVENSON
Back to B'way; Old vaudevillians
are making their, return in various
forms of the entertainment world.
Many are doing bits lri the '.legiti
mate .theater, working as extras, out
to Hollywood vend along the, main
stem, ; entertaining at private par
ties, ; conventions and meetings of
various kinds. In the latter field
they have staunch champions in B.
A. Rolfe and Joe Cook, whose mem
berships in lodges and fraternal or
ganizations make them stand out as
chairmen of entertainment commit
tees. At a recent party given by
one of the Rolfe neighborhood so
cieties, the following old-timers fur
nished the program; ' Sherman
Wade, seventy-four-year-old dancer;
Harry Brooks, fifty-seven-year-old
banjo expert; Allan Wallace, sixty-three-year-old
songster; Gertrude
DeSylvan, age unannounced, pian
ist,' and young Lillian Ashton, fifty-year-old
character singer.
Fate: A young woman driving in
Brooklyn the other afternoon was
stopped by a carload Of cops who
in no uncertain terms informed her
that she was on .the wrong side of
the street. The young woman, un
aware of that fact, remained mute.
The officers of the law, however,
went on and oh, sometimes taking
turns and sometimes working in
duets. . Running down at last, with
a final and most emphatic denunci
ation,' they drove away. '!, With that,
the young woman, having heaved a
great sigh of relief, was about to
drive on, only to be halted by the
regular man on the beat.
"Never mind 'em, lady," he re
marked with a grin. "You wasn't
doing nothing. But they've been on
the carpet themselves and they just
had to bawl somebody out."
: ,
Southpaw Right: There is a store
on Fifth avenue that displays some
of the most beautiful' gowns in the
city. For show purposes, wax mod
els, whose faces and forms are in
keeping with the fine raiment which
adorns them, are used. Naturally,
the exhibits are the targets of many
eyes whenever they are on display.
A eVinrt ttm . a an hnimiwr 1 lha
nodels .attracted moreiattejuon'
than usual. There seemed , to be
something wrong with one of the
most attractive. Close inspection
revealed why that impression per
sisted. The' beautiful .model had
two left hands.
Satisfaction: A New Yorker, who
by intelligence, diligence and much
hard work reached a point where
he could retire from business ac
tivities, went back to his old home
town in Connecticut and built him
self a mansion. In the days of his
extreme youth, in fact all through
his boyhood, he had been looked
down on, the general opinion being
that his kind were worth probably a
dime a dozen... When the house,
which topped everything .the whole
countryside had. to offer, was com
pleted, the' owner sent out .invita
tions to a party. None were ex
cluded, not even those who had
slighted him most in his ragged
days. The guests were ' taken
through the house and then served
a sumptuous dinner. At the con
clusion of the feast, the host arose.
"Neighbors," he said, "you have
seen my home. - You have been Well
fed. You know that, despite your
prophecies, I have made good. Now
you can all get out. I'm going to
bed."
They did and he did.

Cattle Prices Dr

5 uauie .prices wucn rode the . crest
of the. wave in September and Octo
ber have dropped sharply in the past
iwo- montns witn an outlook for still
further declines. - 11 .
L. I. Case, extension 4 beef r cattle
specialist at State College, '.' declared
the anticipated drop in finished cattle
prices came much sooner than looked
for, as well as being steeper" than
expected. " i -, 7. 4, r ,r, 3 '
The Chicago top for weighty steers
in September and October came close
to 120.00 per hundred v on numerous
occasions. Recent quotations list the
cattle at $13.00 pr a drop of nearly
J7.00.
Picturing the effect in North Caro
lina, Case pointed out as example

Question: What js the difference
between monthly old-age Jbenefit pay
ment and lump-sum payment under
the Social Security -Act ? -S:; ; : , .
Answer: "Old-age ; ' payment'' is
the terra applied to the' monthly sum
that will be payable to a worker wh$1
has been employed in covered employ
ment for at least one day in each of
five different calendar years after
December 31, 1936, end prior to
reaching 65 years of age. This kind
of payment will be made to persons
after they reach 65 years of age.
Monthly old-age benefit payments
will not' begin until January 1942.
"Lump-sum payment" is the term
applied to the cash settlement made
under the Social Security Act to a
person who has been employed in
covered employment since December
31, 1936, and who has reached 65
years of age, or to the estate or rela
tives of a deceased worker who had
been so employed since December 31, 1
1936. Lump-sum payments are being
made now by the Social Security
Board.
Question: Is it necessary to hire
a lawyer to collect a lump-sum pay
ment due under the Social Security
Act?
Answer: No. It is not necessary
to hire anyone to collect a lump-sum
payment under the Social Security
; Act. It is necessary, however, to file
; a claim. To do this you should get
'in touch with your Social Security
I Board Field Office, where you will be
to you.
Question:, I am over 65 years of
age but my employer insists upon my
getting a Social Security Account
Number. Why is it necessary for me
to have an account number?
.Answer: Because the unemploy
ment compensation commissions of
the states use Social Security ac
count numbers in keeping their ac
counts for workers who may need
unemployment compensation. There
is no age limit for unemployment
compensation. . -
Question: Will the Social Security
taxes for old-age benefits be increas
ed in 1988?
Answer: No: During the calen
dar year 1937 the rate was one per-,
cent. The rate will continue to be '
one percent until 1940, when it will
be increased one-half of one percent
each three years until a maximum of
three percent is effective on and after
January 1, 1949.
October for an averasre of 115.00 Harr

Fat Stock Show, cattle of equal or
better quality sold for only $11.00
per hundred. Today the

Ti,e drop in prices of the higher
trades of cattle is much more severe
t n in the plainer kinds, although
all . have .been affected seriously, Case
pointed out,
" Prices 'during the next few months
will probably fall even lower ' than
they are now unless industrial activi
ties shotf l marked improvement, the
State College specialist declared. ' ,
