The SNAPSHOT GUILD

Fascination of the Miniature Cameraş

I frequent appearance in mangne cines and newspapers of strik ing off-guard" snapshots of promi- naat persons, such as suclety folk dining in a restaurant," or "portes ahols" of the changing expressions of an after-dinner speaker, prompts from many readers the question, "How were these pictures taken?" The answer In the case of many of

those pictures is the high-speed, large-lenn miniaturo camera 'and the new ultra-fant film, whdels In combination often make possible snapshots at night without extra lumination of the subject.

The use of miniature cameras, not alona for "off-guard" photography but for daytime portralt studies and "scentes" of which they are also highly capable, has grown with startling speed. Films are avaliablo that are especially suited to this kind of work.

reading them know, are a very scarce commo- dity. To the small store of them, add these two.

Michael Stewart's The British Approach to Politics (Allen and Unwin, 7a. Gd.) contains the best description yet read of the British democratic system as a piece of practical machinery. It explains very simply how the system worka and fits together in Parliament, in local government, in Imperial government, and as part of the British Commonwealth,

The second book is Dr. William Robson's The Government and Ms government of London. (Allen and Unwin, 15s.). This is a full-length full-dress onslaught on the heart breaking administrative muddle of Greater London, waleh has prevented the growth of a beautiful and orderly city one-tenth worthy of its Immense concentration of people and wealth,

As a city, London gets poor marks, and Dr. Robson puts his finger on the reason why, when he any that the disintegration of power among 120 separate authorities has resuited in the entire absence of any plan to guide is development.

He proposes the creation of a Re- glonal Council for the London Arra, which would administer the services in which the whole of London is in-

terested.

It Is a confirmation of the wisdom of that judgment that, working from his personal experience. at County Hall, Mr. Herbert Morrison was led to formulate the same conclusion in his book, How Greater London la Governed.

Bygrave was stated to have de- clored that "everything went black" as he rounded the corner, and in the witness-box he said he could remem-

ber nothing of the uccident.

He sald ho had suffered from attacks of blankness for years, but had not disclosed the fact in bis applications for a driving licence.

A doctor sald ke had known Bygrave to havo such an attack.
