POST CARDS A SOURCE
OF PLEASURE AND PROFIT

You can make money with post cards
and at the same time help to fill in
some of the summer spare moments.
Portraits on post cards have long
been popular, but the largest field for
post cards lies in another direction.
Views of well known local places
such as drives, parks. statues, public
buildings, etc, and of local events
such as parades, fairs, etc, will sell
we'll to local people who wish to let
their out-of-town relatives and friends
know that the town is a live one and
one of civic beauty
If your negatives are of a good quail
ity and the point of view well chosen
the cards will sell on sight. They can
be displayed in your street case a few
at time or if you don't wish to put
them there you can arrange with some
local stationer handling a post card
line to act as your agent. A good
Photographic view card should sell
readily for at least cents.
The possibilities of post card work
as a legitimate source of revenue
should be investigated, and after you
have looked into it you'll get out your
view camera and get busy. The time
to start is right now, and inside of
week or ten days you will have enough
negatives to start the line going and
the recorders from the dealers with
whom you have placed your cards will
give you a steady income.
To keep the line alive occasionally
make a few negatives to replace some
of the subjects that have had their
run.
1t is true that the market is flooded

DEVELOPM EMIT

There are many developing agents
in use for the development of prints
and negatives and we will not attempt
to discuss their relative merits.
If popularity is evidence of merit,
the best developer for prints is Metol-
Hydrochinon and the best for plates is
Pyro.
Occasionally we find photographer
using other developing agents which
are in his opinion better suited to his
particular style of work or which pro-
duce better results in his hands.
Whether it's pyro or eikonogen-
metol or amidol or some other develop
ing agent, the action-broadly speak
ing-is the same. BY that we mean
that the action of all developing
agents is to develop or cause reduc-
ton of the silver-salts previously acted
upon by light.
With a developer strong in alkai
Carbonate of soda) and containing
plenty of the developing or reducing
agent, the action will be vigorous and
rapid, causing a coarse reduction of
silversalts. This coarse reduction IS de-
sirable in the manipulation of some of
cur brands of developing paper as it
produces the best effects.
Dry plates are also subject to either
short vigorous development and the
best negatives-with fine grained clear
negatives with full gradation, are

p. O. LAWS ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHS
(From Photo Era.)


Photographs come under the head OF
third class matter, and the rate of
postage is one cent for every two
ounces or fraction thereof, which must
be fully prepaid or the package is held
for postage. On each photograph may
be printed or written the name, occu-
patton and address of the sender; the
title of the picture, and, in the case of
a competition, the word competition"
and the month in which it occurs may
be added. All other writing aside from
these subjects the picture to letter
postage.
Many of the photographs sent in to
the competition bear much data, such
as the plate, exposure, developer paper,
ETC., etc, which were used in the MAX
ing of the picture. In case the pack
age was opened at the postoffice 1t
would be held and letter postage col
lected before the photographs could be
sent to their destination.
The editor of the Guild took num-
Der of photographs to the office and
asked the postmaster about the matter
which was written on the backs, and II

such pictures would be allowed to go
as third-class. The answer was a de-
cided mol" and several examples
which had been held for letter postage
We're exhibited. In addition to the mat
ter already designated, one may add a
number, so that if your photographs
are numbered and you wish to refer
to them by number in your letter OF
advice it is easy to locate the partic
ular photograph mentioned.
In sending prints use strawboard to
protect the mount. The cellular board
is the best for sending photographs
through the mail, provided two pieces
are used with the corrugations run
ming at right angles. This greatly
stiffens the package and prevents bend
ing.
1t is a good idea for every person to
own copy of the postal rules and reg
ulations to consult when in doubt.

negatives developed slowly in a slow
developer
That is why tank developed mega
tiVes are best, With the tank the de-
veloper recommended is a slow one
and this development gives the devel-
oper solution plenty of time to search
out every bit of detail and take proper
care of it.
A vigorous developer on the other
hand-unless it be a rare combination
literally tears the plate to pieces in
its efforts to develop it and the re-
suit is coarse grained plate with
contrast instead of soft delicate grada-
tion
All this leads up to this final advice
on controlling development. If you
want fine grained delicate negatives
and fine grained prints, use a develop
er that is not too vigorous in its
action.
In the warm days to come also re-
member that developer solutions are
apt to work more vigorously unless
care is used to keep them at normal
during use.

colors, but these cards usually repre-
sent only a small part of the local
points of interest and do not depict
recent local events. Further than that,
the superiority of a good Photographic
post card as compared to process
cards is unquestioned. Try out this
post card proposition. 1t will pay
you to investigate.

Allen M. Sutton, of the American

Sutton said that so far as he knew,
there was no effort on the part of his
company to indulge in a rate-slashing
war with the Bates-Cheseborous;h peo-
pie; that the vessels were not char

particulars of the arrest received in

postofflce inspectors raided the hand

was formerly their fiscal agent, but
ceased to represent them.
Chief Inspector Mayer subsequently
gave out statement in which he
charges that, although the company
had been running at loss, the price
of its shares had been advanced by
manipulation to fictitious values and
that individual officers of the company
had sold out their stock to the public
at profit estimated in one instance at
between 100000 and $1O,OOO,OOO.
Wilson was released on $4,000 bail

be the same as the past? The huge
disclosed and undisclosed profits of
the company are, of course, made out
of somebody In other words, the
community pays so much for sugar,
and another e353,000 a year or more
to provide a sugar company's profits.
Still, no matter who ran the business,
the community would have to pay
some of that G350,000 Cor whatever
the profit is-it is certainly a great
deal more than e95O,OOO). Is this
company getting more than a fair
thing? That is the question. Taking
the value of the net assets, according
to the companys own balance sheet,
it was seen just how that the dis
closed profit was at the rate of over
II IA per cent, even reckoning in
investments and short-dated loans
among the assets. The profits from
the business itself may therefore be
reckoned at fully - IL per cent. per
annum on the assets used in the bust
ness, after deducting liabilities. Is II
10 per cent. a fair thing for. bust
ness such as this to make? If it is
more than fair thing-if the COM
pany is using its practical monopoly
to squeeze extravagant profits out of
the people-then, sooner or later, it
is going to get into trouble. And the
bigger the profits are likely to get,
and the more attractive therefore to
the investor, the bigger the danger
there is from State Intervention. The
company pleads that it is not treat
ing the public harshly-that it keeps
the price Of sugar a shade below the
price in the markets OF Europe. "The
policy we have maintained for many
years. the chairman said at the
meeting, els to keep our rates little
below those ruling in other markets,
as they are at present" This was
in reply to critics who had blamed
the company for the recent advances.
1t is just as we'll for investors to
realise at once that that reply will
not be considered good enough. 1t
is quite possible that coal is dearer
in Kamschatka than 1t is in Lithgow;
but if the Lithgow people wanted to
charge e2 ton on the spot because
coal is 92 ton in Kamschatl1a, they
would be laughed at That is the sit
ution also so far as sugar is con.
cerned. And, anyhow, if the con-
sumers got no advantage from be-
ing next door to the sugar fields, the
people to deprive the consumers Of
that advantage should not be the re-
ffners and middlemen-they should
be the producers. Nobody can say
whether trouble will strike the SUI
gar Co., or if it does, how much
will strike it. but the risk must be
taken into account.

CHEER UP, DOGGIES,
WORST YET TO CONF

Washington, D. c., July 27.-"For
research work" or in other words, for
vivisection, all dogs picked up on the
streets of Washington are to be sold
to the Bureau of Animal Industry Of
the Agricultural Department at a
price not less than fifty cents a head.
The commissioners have passed an
order authorizing the poundmaster TO
sell them to the enrichment of the
district government.
That the health authorities of the
district are acting under orders from
the commission4rs was brought to
light after a vigorous refusal on the
part of district officials to disclose any
information in the matter of the deal
with the Bureau of Animal Industry
Protests became so strong two years
ago against vivisection in Washington
that the commissioners were forced
by public feeling to cease turning dogs
over to the bureau.
