A few specialties, the aviation is- 51185 and the coppers were able to 5m. a little enthusiasm in a carry- om from Friday's buying in these groups. but the market, as a whole, appeared to indicate a. rather cauti- ous attitude on the part of traders. The Associated Press average of go siocks finished ahead .1 of a pom, at 54.5, with the improvement duo entirely to the 15 rail issues, which advanced .8 of a point at 29.1.

Turnover amounted to 510170 shares. the quietest short gossioil in tWO months. In the bond market, rails also ivei-i- io the fore, especially second- pry classifications, while other div- Lslons were about steady. U.

Rolls were again in demand on the strength of the accumulating evidcni-o that October was a more profitable month for the carriers than many had expected. Optimism was buoyed by the fact that the modest rloivntrend in freight loading since October has been considerably less than the normal seasonal ox- prciniloii.

OT (LUIL HOUETTE‘ SUBJHT ‘a Silhouettes make excellent greeting 1TH tho arrival of cooler days and nights that. do not oililr much encouragement for outdoor activities, thorn is a very noticeable increase in interest by amateurs in snapshots in the house at night. Once you start this fascinating hobby you will undoubtedly agree that it is a. rcul pleasure oud an idenl way to occupy your time profitably during the long evenings of fall and winter. - All of us are familiar with the ordinary type of snapshots but few have made silhouette pictures. With this typo cf picture, even more than with ordinary snaps, it is important that the pictures tell their own story -—unlcss, of course, you want simply a profile head and shoulders study- for you have only outlines to work with, unsupported by perspective or detail. The first essential of silhouette pictures is a perfectly flat back- ground, devoid or detail. And the easiest way to obtain such a back- ground is to stretch a bed sheet across a broad doorway between two rooms. It's important that the sheet be tacked up so that all creases and wrinkles are eliminated. To light up this background, a strong light must be put in buck o; 4f. about flvo feet away, either cen- tered orgplaced directly back of the major feature of the picture.
