Editorial Note

/~\WING to the extraordinary pressure on bur space this month much interesting “copy” has had to be unavoidably held over. Although month by month we make provision for additional matter, the popularity of The Mirror continues to grow so fast that we become very cramped for space. However, the eagerness of our readers to get The Mirror, and the rapidly increasing lists of new subscribers, has necessitated a permanent enlargement of our journal. Arrangements are also being made to cope with the prompt delivery of The Mirror in increasing numbers to all parts of the Dominion. Subscribers who have their Mirror posted direct from our publishers have the advantage of receiving their journals earlier than is possible through newsagents, whose supplies have to be sent by special transit which, unfortunately, is slower than postal delivery. Another advantage subscribers have is that they receive their copies post free for twelve months (including Christmas numbers) directly the issue is

off the presses. Sign the subscription form on page 64, to save time and disappointment. We have been reluctantly compelled to hold over a full page of Snap-shot Competition pictures. Nevertheless all successful competitors will receive their prizes by post without awaiting the reproduction of their prints. The Competitions will be continued for March. Prizes will be awarded as follows: — Senior: Frist prize, one guinea; second prize, half-a-guinea. Junior (open to all children under 16 years of age) : First prize, 10/-; second prize, 5/-. Additional prizes may be awarded if the entries justify it, or any prize may be withheld if the quality of the prints submitted are not of a standard suitable for reproduction. First Competition (Senior) : Outdoor snapshots, to include street scenes, photographs of players at 'heir games, or any outdoor groups not set or posed. Subjects of topical interest preferred. Second Competition (Senior) :

Sunlight Pictures. By this is meant snapshots taken of scenes depicting outdoor life in its numerous phases at home, in the country, at the seaside, in the bush, or on the water. Third Competition (Junior) : Child and animal subjects, likely to be of general interest to readers of The Mirror. Entries close on Wednesday, February 17. Conditions.—Cut out the coupon on page 72, fill it in clearly, and attach it to the photograph. Prize-winning prints will become the property of The Mirror, and the Editor may reproduce any photograph sent in. All that are published will be paid for at the rate of 5/- each. Photographs will only be returned when stamps and addressed envelopes are sent for the purpose, but the Editor assumes no responsibility, nor can he enter into any correspondence in connection with the competitions or regarding photographs submitted. The Editor’s decision will in all cases be final.
