NEW ENTERPRISE BY C.N.A.C.

Shanghal, Aug, 17.

The Ministry of Communications has approved a plan submitted by the Chinese National Aviation Corporation for the introduction of an air servico connecting Sze-

Kwelchow and Yunnan, "chuen,"

The Ministry of Communications has also decided to appropriate $250,000 towards financing enter prise which is to be inaugurated on January 1.

During these August days, when good cloud formations and marvel lous sunsets are almost always available, the photographer should look to his apparatus as well as his viewpoint. The aky Altor. which is often used to obtain a good cloud effect, is often one of the most mis-used adjuncts of the camera, Many people fail to dif- ferentiate between subjects which will need a filter to lessen the con- the sky and the trast between landscape, ant others which have a genuine cloud contrast needing no fitor to show it. For every landscape or seascape they snap, they fit on the fiter and hope for the best. Invariably, results, are disappointing.

SAFE RULE.

A aafo rule to adopt is only to Uso the filter when the subject in topped by an absolutely blue sky. or a slightly mottled white one. On the photograph, that part would come out as a blank white if the Alter were not used, and it would simply mean that the picture would end halfway up the print. The filter will in this case help to capture the light blue tint of a Bunny.sky.
