I am not advocating “nature-faking," 
or sentimentality, or aestheticism, or 
any other mode of thought or habit of 
mind which passes for “love of nature” 
but is really a form of self-indulgence. 
I am only suggesting that the time has 
come when societies for the Prevention 
of Cruelty to Animals should make way 
for societies for the Promotion of 
Friendship with Animals; when the 
test of a nature-lover should not be 
whether he knows a golden-crowned 
kinglet when he sees one, but whether 
he can love a barnyard rooster as a 
friend, not merely as a prospective 
roast ; when the test of a dog-lover 
should be, not whether he can love a 
pampered, pedigreed winner of blue 
ribbons, but whether he can love what 
Sydney Smith called an extraordinarily 
ordinary dog ; and the test of a citizen 
of the world should be whether he 
feels, not only his brotherhood with 
men, but his brotherhood with every 
lowliest creeping thing that lives and 
eats and dies on the earth. — By Robert 
M. Gay. in “The Atlantic Monthly.” 
What will the 
negative stow? 
There’s density and definition; detail in 
high lights and shadows; correctness of 
perspective; color value — consider all 
these. For the negative can show only 
what the lens throws upon it. And any 
picture worth taking at all is worth tak- 
ing as well as it can be taken. In other 
words, take it with one of the

PHOTOGRAPHIC LENSES 
In poor light — cloudy or rainy outdoors, 
on porches or indoors — good snapshots 
— better than many a time exposure — can 
be made easily through Bausch & Lomb 
Tessar Anastigmats (Ic, f:4.5 or lib 
f:6.3). And in bright sunlight they stop 
the fastest action blurlessly. 
Ask your dealer to put Tessar 
Anastigmat on your camera. 
Then you will see how pleasur- 
able photography can be.
