Make your KODAK HE biggest new thing, the most important photographic development in two decades, is the Autographic Kodak. It makes the record authentic; answers the questions: When did I make this? Where was this taken? Every negative that is worth taking is worth such date and title, and with the Autographic Kodak you make the record, almost instantly, on the film. It’s all very simple. Open the door in the back of Kodak, write the desired data on the red paper with pencil or stylus, expose for a second or so, close the door. When the film is developed, the records will appear on the intersections between the films. This autographic feature having been er in all of the most important Kodak models, we have now arranged to take care of our old customers by supplying Autographic Backs for all Kodaks of these models. The old camera can be brought up to date at small cost, and there is no extra charge for autographic film. Make your Kodak Autographic.

Does it still exist, or has it been expunged, or is it hibernating? Is it possible that we have escaped from its nefarious clutches? Has it been reduced from a high state of systematically organized predatoriness to a low state of chaotic dis- organized impotency? Or has it been so improved and perfected and has friction been eliminated from its operations to such an extent that it now separates us from our resources without our noticing it? Or has it separated us from so much that we do not consider it worth while to make a fuss about what remains? Or has it undergone a rebirth so that it now uses its manifold talents and powers in favor of the public as a whole instead of that particular part of the public known as the investing public? Something must have happened to “the System”. Can anyone tell what? —| The AissisiN: New Yorker ONTROLLER PRENDE: RGAST declares New York City's finanee to be in a very serious condition, an} complains that the average man is nF different in regard to Itis always [ hard to get the average man’s atte tion to this department of his own business, but if he has tears, Mr. Preq. dergast’s figures ought to make hin prepare to shed them now, New York City owes consider: more than a billion dollars. It Owes two hundred million more dollars thay, does the Federal Government. This means that the average man in New York (that is, the average voting maz or head of family) is in debt aboy one thousand dollars, and upon this he pays about fifty dollars per year Many will quickly remark: “Pooh! does a true-born New Yorker care for a little matter like that?" It may be admitted that a New Yorker tends to he contemptuous of small ters, but as the income of the ge New Yorker is not over one thousand dollars a year, this item of one-twenticth of his income doesn't appear so small after all. It is cer tainly large cnough to warrant his be- coming acquainted with the fact and pondering it a moment. VANITY FAIR. For April—On Sale Now First aid!
