the young idea how to shoot pictures in the Photographic Department of Los Angeles’ Art Center School. His pictures on page 22 ami page 31 give eloquent evidence that he is one teacher who practices excellently what he preaches! And on pages 6 and 13, we
get a hint as to why the standard of competition in the Paramount Studio Camera Club's contests is so high: Ed Doughty , who made those pictures, is a frequent contestant. His pictures, like Archer s, were made on Agfa Super pun.

Photo-Lab Index
There have been many excellent photographic reference-books published from time to time, but so swift and constant is photographic progress that most of them were scarce off the press before changes in materials or advances in technique have outmoded them in part or in whole. Henry M. Lester, of the miniature-camera combine of Morgan and Lester , evidently realized this, and when he started the task of compiling an up-to-date photographic reference volume, he reasoned that if you put two and two together you might get a perpetually up-to-date book. At any rate, that is what he has done: his latest book, Photo-Lab Index (Morgan and Lester. N. Y., $3.50) is issued in an ingenious linen-covered, waterproof, loose-leaf binding, and quarterly supplements are to be issued (the first two free to registered owners of the basic volume) to keep the work perpetually abreast of photographic progress.
Even without this unique feature, the Photo-Lab Index is a book that should be in the hands of anyone who practices photography in either a professional or an amateur way. The range of useful information covered is incredible. There is the latest authoritative data on film speeds — in terms of Weston, European and Am
erican Scheiner, Din, and all three variations of the H. & 1). ratings; filter-factors for virtually every type of him with every type and make of filter.
Formulas for all recommended developers are given, and in addition, time-gamma-temperature development charts for each him in each developer.
Equally comprehensive data is given for materials of all makes, including not only negative but printing and enlarging papers. There is a very valuable section on Mazda, Photoflood and Photoflash illumination.
All told. Photo-Lab Index is one of the most practical and lastingly usefnl photographic works we’ve seen. Every photographer should have a copy.
