Anyone who Intends to do muct portrnltnre will find It a great help to get some simple form of stand camera for the purpose, and fit It with one of the old-fashioned portrait lenses, which can usually be picked up second hand very cheaply. A half-plate lens should be got for quarter-plate or smaller work, as this allows one to be further from the sitter, and so avoids all risk of wide-angle effects, besides covering the plate better. In such n case, one Oi'ght to get definition over the small plate as good as with a first-rate an astigmat, extreme rapidity, and at a very moderate cost. Exchange. See if Your Diamond is Genuine.

SCHAFER'S Opposite The City Hall 113 East Third Ft0M 63 3 m NHB ; IW Writer Thinks Crowds Are Drawn to Them in the Hope of Seeing a Smashup. How fnr wrong was the autolst who once remarked that most folk are drawn to automobile speedway races by the hope of seeing someone killed? It Is the thrills It generates; the science it cnlls Into play or the pleas ure It affords that usually draw crowds to athletic contests. But long distance speedway racing is the one so called sport that Is almost devoid of sensations; it is a contest where the spirit of contest seems almost totally absent ; a spectacle that provokes no real excitement after the first few min utes. It becomes a monotonous thing to watch long before the end has beeu reached. And yet year after year thousands of persons attend these speedway races. True the major portion of each crowd witnesses such races for the first and last time. It comes to see what can be seen and it never comes back. Its place is taken the next year by another "once-but-no-more" crowd. But there are "repeaters;" some per sons do go back year after year to seu l the speed demons in their races against time ami against death. Automobile road racing has its I thrills. Dash races on a speedway create some real shivery feelings along the spinal column. Both are i real contests where the man element ' actually enters; where a race Is a race. But those 100 or 200 or 300 mile races around a speedway are nothing but processions; little more than testa ' of motors and tires; u boresome exhi bition to an extreme. And yet there are some people who attend all the big speedway events. What draws them there? Was the man right? Is it thut the morbid hope of seeing a frightful sinashup urges them through the gates and Into the stands? Kxeliange. MAKES EXHAUST GASES WORK By a Whirling Motion Carbon Par ticles Are at Once Removed From the Electrodes. i I altering from an oilier spara plugs, this new 'device relies on the whirling motion of the ex haust gases to re move carbon par ticles from the electrodes as soon as formed. One of the electrodes is shaped like u propeller, lying horizontal. The other electrode Is a round rod in the center of the propeller-disk elctrode. The guses are ex hausted from the spark-plug fSCSf with such force as to whirl them around and between the two cjer trodes, carrying ull carbon particles with them.
