PROBABLE SUM IS $250,000 As sure as Christmas Is coming December the Bell city administration will be compelled to open negotiations for a temporary loan the first of the year to procure money to conduct the city government until some Is received from the next instalment of taxes the latter part of next Xiay. Kcginald II. Sullivan, city controller, said today be wss looking forward to the necessity of seeking a tejiiporary loan, which probably will be This will be just to start off the new year, and it Is probable that more money will be borrowed by the city before the next tax paving time No matter, how larre the semt a.nnual tax melon, which is cut at the county treasurer's oltice every ao often to 'provide the city and county with money, it seems that the Hell administration sim Ply has to borrow money to keep alive.

Although the city Is borrowing, rnafty certain well dressed political workers make their appearance atthe city controller's the 1st and l'th of each month to answer present with gleeful voices when th city pay roll is called. The city controller will borrow money as early In the year as possible, for at that time be can procure a low tate of Interest on a loan. Ranking Institutions can escape the payment of taxes on money tf the city borrows lefore tax paying time, and as a result are anxious to lerd at a low rate of interest. Mr. Sullivan said the citv would prob nt.ly borrow the money with the under standir that a part of the loan would be aVRii tWe for use short! after January 1.

Most" ama teurs repard picture taking as a summer pastime and neglect their art during the winter months when nights are long and days are pray. Sunshine arid leafy trees are lovely, but Isn't it sometimes true that we tire of unalloyed glamour and long for shadowy depths, the restfulness of cozy Interiors, and the welrdness of night times? This then Is a plea for unusual pictures as 'weli as artistic ones.

and not for the common sort which can be duplicated by buying summer post cards. Snow scenes are best when photo graphed under (owerlng skies. A double snap shot will soften the blacks and whites to a near semblance of their own beauty and will make the shadows full of perspective. January thaws and winter rainfalls may occur, ut they do not limit rhotographlo possibilities. What has greater pictorial charms than a rainy day with its glisiieniner pavements and trailing reflections? with skies "comfortably dripping" in midday, the exposure need not be longer than two or three seconds.

Then at the close of a rainy dav, often the sunset Bky is particularly brilliant. If you can find a pretty bit of composition facing uch a sunset and can include some Irregular clouds banked up near the horizon, a snap shot will, be sufficient exposure to make a very beautiful picture. I Even Greater Allurements. After sunset there Is (evenj greater al lurement. City streets, with Ihelr myriad electric street lamps and signs, and the lights around building entrances can be photographed in from fifteen minutes to an hour, accordingito the brilliance of the lights and the foreground distance.

Moonlight, too, offers many suKicestlons. The moon itself can be included in the view: by placir.if it artificially in a double ex posure. With such a moon directly overhead, a half hour exposure of the landscape should be made, leaving an empty space somewhere in. the upper part of the picture and noting in the finder lust where the space Is free from tree branches or other obstacles. Then, when the exposure has been made, the camera should be turned directly upward, if so that the moon 1b placed In the earn relative 'position in.

the finder as that left empty in the first exposure. This second exposure should be about twenty seconds, not long enough to allow the moon's movement to make it appear oval in haie. If the moon is silently nebulous and the light diffused, it will make the view a prettier ope. In addition to these suitcestlons for the out cf there are many indoor Mews that tlioi.ld prove Increasingly valu aMe os the jears rass with changes of stvle and circumstance; There can be no arbitrary directions for interior daytime exposures, but the following general rule Is usually successful. A room with medium colored walls and furnishings, and at least two windows, should have, forty seconds' exposure with the smallest stop pen and with brieht daylight outside.

The smallest stop has been advised because interiors should sharper and more detailed than landscape views. Interiors of railway trains are Interesting, too. Successful pictures of travelings companions can be made while the train Is going at to? sreed by maklns tx snap shots in Im nediate succession. This will make a clear. Flronly detailed picture if the camera is firmly placed and the light outside is bright.

IN THE WINTER are grouped in natural positions' near the fireplace and one or two flash sheets thrown into the fire that already is burning there.

With other lights in the room extinguished, the firelight reflects naur 'ally on the faces of the subjects and custs the rest of the room Into shadow. For those who are interested in extra pictures and further experimentation, there are provided plates for color photography, the portrait attachment and the cloud filter. Then of course there are multiple exposure devices for making two or more exposures on one plate, with ludicrous combinations. Silhouettes are made by placing a strong lieht on the far side of the sublect so that the figure is between the light and the camera. "Freaks" so called.

are amupine for occasional experimentation and often make very Interesting pictures. Ghostlike figures can be made Indoors by having the subjects photographed for only half of the total exposure. Their outlines will be visible, but behind them as through transparencies, you will see the chairs and other household furnishings. These are only a few of the possibilities open to the amateurs after sunny days are past. So whether you are interested in photography ag an art or as a pastime.

It should be remembered that pictures of real worth are only those which are Intimate translations of your own tastes and desires. In this camera land, you should not let winter time postpone any of your artistic activity. Make your pictures interesting. AFFIDAVITS NAME DRUGGISTS Declare Whisky Was Sold Illegally Part of Liquor Dealers' Campaign. The first action taken by the Indianapolis Ketall Liquor Dealers' Protective Association against alleged violators of the liquor laws came today when detectives from the Harry C.

Webster detective agency swore out affidavits charging the sale of whisky in two drug stores without prescriptions. Ralph H. Kahn, druggist, at Shelbv street, and Barnhardt Schwalb, druggist, at North Senate avenue, are named a the defendants, the detectives alleging that they bought a half pint of whisky from Schwalb and a pint from Kahn. Since the fight for the First ward remonstrance, which was won by tha "drys," began the association of saloon keepers has been planning a campaign for the enforcement of the liquor laws, particularly in regard to clubs, drug stores, poolrooms, hotels and barber shps. The Webtser agency has beon employed by the association to gather such evidence.

It Is understood that the agency men have evidence against other drug store keepers, poolroom keepers and barber shop keepers which will be. presented to the prosecutor later.

CONTROL, REPORT SAYS RESOLUTION TO HAVE HOUSE DIRECT INQUIRY IS REPORTED. PROBABLE COST $142,000 I WASHINGTON, December 21. In re porting favorably Representative Bor land's resolution to have the house direct the federal trade commission to make an exhaustive inquiry into the high cost of living, the Judiciary committee today expressed the opinion that only a thorough investigation into production, marketing and storage would solve the problem A letter from Chairman Hurley, of the trade commission, accompanied the report, saying the inquiry would require (fifteen to eighteen months and cost about Control of Products Indicated. Hearings on the shortage and present high price of foodstuffs, the report said, had disclosed a condition "strongly pointing to a control of products referred to by those engaged in marketing the same in this country, as in foreign countries." "They disclosed also," the report continued, "that marketing conditions were not at all satisfactory to a large number of farmers and stock raisers. It appears, however, that the production of food products Is not keeping pace with consumption throughout the country as represented by the growing industrial population of the cities." Food Shortage a Possibility.

1 Food shortage, It said, with a resulting distress to wage earners and consumers, was not only a possibility but a reaL menace. "Your committee believes there is an economical problem Involved," it continued, "which can only be solved in the Interest of the American people bv a thorough Investigation of the subject. The cost of living has been steadily increasing until a condition is presented which demands the immediate and intelligent consideration of the federal authorities and which may require legislation in order to correct the present system." The house took.no action on the resolution, White Oak and Ash Trunks Unite; Characteristics Blend (Special to The Indianapolis News JEFFERSON VILLE, December 2L On the farmi of Edward Packwood, near Borden, are two trees, a white oak and an ash. growing about five feet apart.

DENY TAX RETALIATION Indianapolis Water Company officials today made public the company's reasons for its notice to the board of county commissioners that the county would be expected to pay more for Its water' In 1917 than It has paid for it In the past. They denied that the Increased price of the waiter service has anything to do with the recent Increase of the taxes of the company, which was made at the behest of K. Fesler, county auditor, who an nounced recently that the company intended to Increase its bill to the county.

The water company officials quoted from the plumbers' permits issued for improvements at the Jail to show that the water service given the Jail has Increased noticeably. They said that five additional closets, fourteen additional hose connections for flushing, seven drinking foun tains and seven shower baths have been placed in the Jail. 1 in the place of four bathtubs that were, disconnected. Service Pipe Changed. In order to supply these additional fixtures with water, the company officials said, a one inch service pipe has been removed and a three Inch service pipe connected in Its place.

Water company Officials also said that a fpur lrich water service connecting with fifteen hose connections has been placed In the courthouse ifor fire protection, and the company regarded there improvements, with those in the Jail, as more than sufficient toj Justify an increase of approximately J4j0 a year for water service. Independent Investigation disclosed that the shower baths referred to by the water company were put in at the Jail in the fall of 1315 and have been in use since. It Is said at the Jail that it is the impression there that less water Is used with the shower baths than was used in bathtubs. It was also pointed out at the Jaif that under Sheriff Theodore Portteus. whose term expired January 1, many more prisoners were in the Jail than have been thre in the last year, and that necessarily more water must have been used.

It was furthermore pofnted out that, despite these facts, no Increase in the price of water to the county was made until after the water company's taxes were increased. Claim Against County. Mr. Fesler Is also reported to be holding tip a claim of tle water company agalr.st the county for $400 for supplying water to the county for the building of concrete roads east cf Irvington. Waier company officials said that If Mr.

Fesler cares to investigate he will find that the bill is for services that consisted in suppHing water for a distance of two miles beyond a point l.o) feet enpt of the city limits of Indianapolis, and that for two months the water company had to maintain additional pressure on the line tarped for this water in order to deliver it where Jt was needed.
