Hello _ Folks. Here we are again

biggest problem to us every week
is getting this old column started
off. After we get the introduc

can just go on incessantly, but
that introduction—now that’s
aomething else again. But it seems
we got started this week by just
complaining about getting started,
but we can’t do that EVERY week,

problem—we’ll still be wondering
HOW to get started

YOUR DAILY NEWSPAPER
PAPER AND INK
Few people have any idea of
the vast quantities of paper used
to print a daily newspaper The
making of a newspaper actually
begins in the forests of Maine,
Nova Scotia, Quebec, Wisconsin,
Washington, and other northwest
ern states and Canadian provinces,
where the big timber is fellart and
sent to the paper mills, These
great mills supply nearly five
million tons of newsprint annually,
in standard size rolls usually six
ty-eight inches wide and weigh
ing about 1500 pounds each. Each
roll contains about six miles of pa
per. A large metropolitan papei
wjU use near)y 2 00 of these rolls
daily, which amounts to 1200 miles
of paper, weighing 300,000 lbs.
Just as the quantity of paper
uged jg tremen dous, so also, pro
portionately is the ink It is ac
tually kept in large reservoirs or
Unkf . m th( . basf , mcnt „{ the
building, and the daily quantity
used by a large newspaper is close
to 4,000 pounds or about 375 gal
lons.
The real developing of daily
newspaper publishing ,n the U. S.
A. began about 1800 Among the
principal factors contributing to
it s enormous expansion have been
the inventions > of machirtfs to
turn out an abundant supply of
cheap paper: substitution, first of
steam and then of electricity for
the old hand powered presses;
the cylinder press and later the
rotary press which have speeded
up production and greatly in
creased the number of pages per
issue: substitution of pliable rol
I era to distribute and apph the
ink; stereotyping machine.. that
produce curved plates and ‘Mimi
nate a direct printing from type
and the invention of typesetting
machines which has revolutioniz
ed composition Accompany ng
these improvements in mechanical
facilities which provided top
means for speedy production was
a constantly increasing demand
for news and a realization
chants of advantages to be derived
from newspaper advertising.

This week we re going to give
you a little first hand information
on how to make pictures at night
and how to take silhouettes
In making pictures at night, first
load the camera and place two
bridge lamps fitted with Handy
Reilectors and two Photoflood
Lamps, one four feet from subject
and the other eight feet if using
Vei ichrome film: with Pan-Chro
matic film one lamp should be
three teet and the other four. If
using Pan-Chromatic film hold
the camera about eight feet from
the subject. Turn the lens so that
the white dot is at the arrow
marked 5 to ft feet and make a
snapshot of 1-23 second using stop
l 11. If using Verichrome film set
the shutter for a time exposure
and stop opening lever at f 11.
Place camera on firm support
about eight feet from subject and
open and close shutter quickly as:
possible.
Do not jar the camera and he
sure to shield lens from direct light
of lamps ...
Before making a silhouette
stretch a sheet tightly across a
doorway between two rooms. Use
one No. 2 Photoflood or two N. 1,
in a home lamp, shade removed.
Set camera to take time exposure
and place “stop.” on a solid With support. S. S. Pan Use j
largest
film allow two seconds for expos
ure. For cameras with f. 6. 3. or

set camera for Time, press shut
ter lever to open lens, flash bulb,
then press lex er to close the lens
