The liltlit may be bad and alt sorts of - "impossible" - conditions may arise, bnt he toes ahead. When he's getting picture for a dally paper he's nearly always rushed for lime. Dashes into the office with the negative, slams through a print and turns It over to the layout artist and engravers. . He hope it will turn out a good picture. If It doesn't, he's always assured of plenty of -volunteer critics to tell him about it. . This man Meyer nsnally "gels era" and "gets 'em" right.
