A collage of cartoon captions and quick-fire lines features a barber shop rundown, a doctor quip about rheumatism, a maid’s mishaps with mumps, and social bits about cars, hats, and courtship.

An Amateur Photographer article extols fixing prints before the combined bath to save gold. It notes using only about .677 grain of gold tones a 7 by 5 print, enabling a hundred twenty or more half-plane prints per grain, yet only about two thirds of bath gold is usable before exhaustion. Adding fresh solution allows toning as many extra prints as the new solution would alone.
