If it isn’t EASTMAN it isn’t a “ Kodak ” PHOTOGRAPHY The art of knowing how in pho- tography. Just enough light here--- not too much there---putting the shadows where they will bring out the proper lines---posing the subject without the aid of mechanical de- vices so that the true character and personality will stand out prominent- ly---there’s the “know-how” of artis- tic photography. It is next to impossible to make a poor photo when you use the “Kodak” When you go out on your day’s outing take a Kodak with you---take your own picture if you like, those of your friends and scenes of your sum- mer outing camp.

LEGISLATURES MUST CONCUR }{ Thirteen States Can Defeat the Amend- | ment Which Has Been Approved by Congress—Why German Fleet Caused Anxiety. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—It {8 evident from what the leaders of the movement in tongress say, that the battle for the || ymendment of the Constitution by pro- riding for popular election of senators Is far from ended. Both houses of tongress have passed a resolution sub- mitting the question to the states, but this, it is recognized in Washington, is only the beginning. In order that this amendment to the Constitution' may have force and effect, # must be ratified formally by the leg- slatures of threefourths of the states. There are forty-eight states in the Union, and so thirty-six of them must take affirmative action before the imendment becomes effective. Thir- leen states can defeat the amendment sither by “vetoing” it or by declining lo act at all. The friends of the consmutionalr wmendment for the election of sena- tors by the people direct instead of by the state legislatures will keep up an srganization and use its influence to get the matter promptly before the legislative bodies of the different states as soon as they meet. Georgla will hold a legislative session in the tall, and the majority of the states will have sessions in January. Some of the states in which the legislature meets biennially cennot take up the matter unless extra sessions are salled, until eighteem months from now. There Is some opposition to the rati- fcation of the constitutional amend- ment, but as yet the opposition has ta- ken no definite organization form. It Is possible of course that at the com- Ing national conventtons of both po- litical parties planks will be adopted arging the ratification of this amend- ment. If this is done and the matter becomes a “party matter” for both of the great political organizations, it would seem natural that the ratifica- ton of the amendment would come. Navy Department Was Worried. A German squadron has been in Hampton Roads for some days. - The president of the United States formal- ly, welcomed the kalser's sailors to Amerlcan waters. The men-of-war of the German empire paid this visit to the United States as a return compl- ment for the visit patd by the United States Atlantic fleet to Kiel a year 1g0. The navy department, and unques- Honably the administration as well, was anxious for some little time be- lore the German boats put into Hamp- ton Roads, for fear that some unto- ward incident might develop. There was no particular reason to apprehend iny happening that might disturb the wmenities of the occasion, but the 2avy department has ‘a record of & sase, the memory of which is still teen in the minds of officials who 1ave to do with international matters. [n the incident concerning which mem- )ry is still green, the German and the French figure. In October, 1881, there was a cele- pration of the one hundredth anniver- sary of the surrender of Cornwallis to Washington at Yerktown, Va. During the Revolutionary war the French aded the American colonists material- ly, and there was a French fleet near Yorktown when the surrender oc- surred, and French soldiers were on land to assist the Americans in fore- Ing the suwender of the British gen- eral and in ending the Revolutionary war. Cause of the Anxisty. When the plans were laild for the great -celebration, the French nation was asked to participate, and consent- || ®d. Horatlo Seymour of New York suggested that inasmuch as Baron von Bteuben, a German, had helped the Amercan colonies, Germany should be asked to participate In the celebration. [} The government therefore issued an Invitation and German ships were sent over, which anchored side by side with the French ships in Hampton Roads. Then the trouble began. The American men-of-war, in flying their colors in compliment to the vis- Itors, holsted both the French and German flags. Because of the fact that the French had taken the greater part in helping us get our freedom, the American ships flew the French flag above the German flag, and then things broke loose. There was instant protest from the Germans and from the German comianding officers. Ca-’ blegrams were digpatched to the home government, and it looked as if we were going to have another battle in the Virginia waters, with the Ameri- cans and the French again as allies, but with a different foe from that of Revolutionary days to meet. The mat- ter was finally settled by the Amerl- can men-of-war flying the French and German flags side by side. No Wonder. Mrs, Brown—Goodness, Mary, what a kitchen!
