SAVING ALL PARTS OF THE

This is the purpose of the sulphite

Thus we have the developing trium-
virate: the reducing agent. the pre-
servative and the accelerator IT is
obvious that by changing their pro-
portions the action of the developer
can be materially affected More
carbonate will give greater speed in
development and more density. while
more sulphite will decrease the ten
dency of the developer to turn red on
contact with the air. Conversely, less
carbonate will give less density and
less sulphite will permit more oxy-
dation in the air and more satin In
the negative. Many photographers
are very particular about the exact
amount of this color believing that it
affects the print materially. Others
abhor it and use clear working
agent. almost any other than pyro, to
give a negative practically free from
color. Since proper density and color
are the principal things to be OBJ
tanned by varying the proportions OF
preservative and aceelerator, we may
thus readily understand the old photo

In this trade, according to Mr. Bar

"a comparison of the figures of
Latin American trade in 1897 with
those of 1913 show what a remarkable
rapidity of growth has characterized
Latin American commerce and points
conclusively to the potentialities of its

INDUSTRIAL ACTS

State Board Will Obviate Neces-

Some Labor Legislation

Plans are being made at the Capitol
for meetings of number of the spe-
cial committees OF the State Industrial
Board in charge of drafting of rules
for safety and sanitation to meet in
January and sumbit suggestions to the
State Industrial Board Several COM
mittees connected with foundrieS, iron
and steel mills and similar plants are
TO meet next month. 1t is believed that
through these recommendations the
State board will be able to promulgate
a series of rules which will obviate
any necessity for changes in laws rela-
tive to inspection.
The railroad mems ideas in regard
to safety laws will be discussed at
meetings beginning to-day and lasting
until Thursday. The chief matter will
be to organize the fight to retain the
full crew bill on the statute books.
The committees will confer with State
public service and other officials.
Thursdays hearing on compensa-
ton acts Is expected to develop the
prevailing sentiment in regard to in
surance features. The industrial ac-
cidents commission members will re-
submit the act of 1918 with few
changes, but plan to listen to any sug-
gestions for changes. Several new
bills are expected to make their ap-
pearance.
The State commission to select site
and draw up a plan for a State in
stitution for the care of inebriates and
drug victims will meet at the Capitol
