The SPUR of thelloment CHRISTOAS)53A) EPIODEALDROD Court affixed at Five Simple Rules for Making Good Pictures Anyone from a 12 year old school boy to an octogenarian can make good negatives, reports Hillary G. Bailey, F.R.P.S., in Popular Pho tography magazine. It is just a mat ter of following the rules laid down for developing procedure. FIRST — Read the instructions which the manufacturer supplies with each package. These instruc tions describe proper manipulation for that particular type of film. SECOND—Use reasonably fresh developer. Keep track of age and deterioration rate of your solutions. Stay on the conservative side in fa vor of freshness. Chemicals are cheaper than films. THIRD—Be fussy about using a thermometer. All solutions should be kept as near as possible to a temperature of 65 degrees Fahren heit. FOURTH—Use a clock to time de velopment. Too short development reduces contrast, and too long in creases it. FIFTH—Standardize on a method of agitation. The average worker does this in tray developing by keep ing the solution moving with a non- directional rocking motion. But with tank development, it is easy to shake or jiggle the tank three times during development on one occasion, and on the next, shake it six times. The result is that the contrast and density of the negative agitated six times is greater than the one agi tated three times. If consistent re sults are expected, this factor ab solutely must be standardized. Deaf Persons Learn to Hear Through Toes, Teeth Through your toes, your teeth, or even your funny bone, you can learn to hear. And a score of men and women afflicted with deafness had proved it at the University of Southern Cali fornia, where they were “guests” at the nation’s first class in rehabilita tion of the hard of hearing. Under the direction of Dr. B. V. Morkovin, noted psychologist and scientist, they learned to use a sci entific mechanism known as the Phipps unit, which transmits sounds on the principle of bone induction. “Through development of the oth er senses we teach the various methods by which the deaf can ad just themselves to their condition and be compensated for their weak hearing," said Dr. Morkovin, inven tor of the technique of using motion pictures to aid in teaching lip read ing. As an expert on hearing, the pro fessor noted that 50 per cent of the soldier and civilian casualties in bomb-torn cities suffer either total or partial loss of hearing from the shattering concussion. "That’s why our work even has its national defense side,” he explained. "Should a similar situation come to pass here, we would be able to alleviate suffering by teaching the war deaf literally to feel in their mouths what others say to them— even though they cannot hear.” Borrowed Time Club A strange organization entitled “Borrowed Timers” exists in Eilen burg, Wash. Every one of its mem bers has been marked for death by his doctor. Not one has reached the obituary column since the start of the organization in 1936, . They are a nonsectarian, self-gov- erning and self-supporting group of young and middle-aged people living beyond the life spans predicted for them by their physicians. • - As the club grew, it imposed a few limitations on membership. One is that 90 days must elapse, after a physician has predicted the time of death before a candidate can be come eligible. This is to: "1. Soft en the blow of a physician’s tragic words. 2. To offer encouragement to the newly doomed. 3. To create a desire to live in the condemned and incite a mental and physical effort to remain among the living.” The hardest obstacle the club had to overcome was a periodic lagging of spirits and a tendency to “give up.” But this, too, was conquered by courage. Booing Schools A campaign to discourage the practice of “booing" by Geneva, Ill., school children has been started by Harry M. Coultrap, superintendent of Geneva schools. He distributed bulletins to teach ers, urging them to address their pupils a few minutes each day on the un-American habit of "booing,” which reached a new high during the last election. He said: “Teachers will be asked to en courage our children to be polite, re spectful and tolerant of all persons and their opinions. A chaotic state will result and mob rule may de velop if ‘booing’ is not stopped. The foundation of our democracy is tol erance, and we must practice it in all things. The children must be taught to forget the ‘booing.’ by grown persons they heard over the radio in the recent election cam paigns.” Tea Consumption in U. 8. America is fast becoming a nation of tea-drinkers to vie with Great Britain, according to latest figures of the U. S. department of agricul ture. During the last year, more than 100,000,000 pounds of tea were imported into the United States—a 14,000,000-pound increase over the previous year.
