FRANK'S. NOBLE
FRANK S. NOBLE
F'raxk S. Noble, Vice-President of the Eastman Kodak Company,
died suddenly at his home in this city on the evening of July 5th.
Mr. Xoble leaves a wife, Mrs. Lillian C Xoble: a daughter. Miss
Elizabeth A. Xoble; a brother, Raymond G. Xoble of X'ew York,
and a sister, Miss Elizabeth A. Xoble of South Windsor, Conn.
Frank Xoble was one of the best known men in the photographic
business, his earlier days being spent with the Xew Jersey Aristo-
type Company. For more than twenty years he had been associated
with the Eastman Kodak Company, first as Manager of the Chicago
branch. He was called to Rochester in 1904, and became Assistant
Treasurer of the company and later Vice-President.
The following memorial was adopted by the Board of Directors
of the Eastman Kodak Company on July 13, lO'-il:
"// is impossible that aui/ tribute of icords to the memory of Frank S-
Xoble should mean as much as that greater tribute that was paid him by

H. E. A. A. DANCE
The first dance of the summer, given by the Hawk-
Eye Athletic Association at Cain's Dance Tavern,
proved a very enjoyable affair. The super-heated
condition of the atmosphere was undoubtedly in-
strumental in keeping away a number of our jazz
devotees,— at least they weren't there, —but this
fact did not seem to detract from the enjoyment of
those who did take advantage of the excellent floor
and music. Financially the result was not phenom-
enal, but the small difference between income and
outgo showed up on the right side of the ledger.
"Bill" Schlegel, situated at the door, wore a rather
worried look until the danger mark in the admissions
had been passed. Then he leaned back to philoso-
phize on the carelessness of some people in "passing
up" such a splendid hop.
The committee consisted of Alice Gears, Ruth
Kurtz, Lillian Wilson, George Brennan, William
Schlegel and Robert Meinhard, Chairman.

over. Luck seems to be with the girls from the very
start. To begin with, Charles Thompson has
agreed to take charge as coach, and will be assisted
by Jack Brightman. There is no ciuestion that the
success of theteam last season was due to the knowl-
edge and ability to obtain results of the coaches
and willingness of the players. This spirit still
exists and promises the best of results for 19'-21-'-22.
The first game will be played abovit the first of
December, although the choice of opponent has
not yet been decided. In view of the ease with
which the Kodak Park girls defeated all the local
teams last season, it is expected that considerable
trouble will be experienced in securing dates with
local talent, which will necessitate the bringing
here of out-of-town organizations. The reputation
of the Kodak girls has traveled far, so that they
are recognized by all leadmg girl team managers.
The following girls at present comprise the
squad; Cecelia Korn, Louise Singleton, Ethel
Stuck, Julia Thayer, Matilda Hanley, Elizabeth
Fratter, Anna Chase, Lillian Beatty, Jennie De-
Graft' and Marion De Burgemister. The latter two
girls formerl\' played with the Hawk-Eye team.

HOGESTYN-SHERMAN
On Wednesday evening, October I'^th, the men
of the Pay Roll Department, Building 34, gave a
party for Ed\\ard Hogestyn, a prospective bride-
groom. An excellent dinner was consumed at
Gasner's Restaurant, which was followed by some
fine stories and songs. Yes, Eddie was decorated
with the customary outfit from bib to rattle. Fred
Dierdorf rendered several very pleasing violin
selections.
From Gasner's the party shifted to the Temple

valuable such an invention is, for it means that
between each floor is a barrage of water, which
practically serves as a fire-proof wall. On the roof
of Building 1 and -2 are two tanks with a capacity of

eleven thousand four hundred, and twelve thousand


gallons respectively. Again, on Building 3, a con-
tainer holds twenty-five thousand gallons of water,
and on liuildings 11 and 1'2, thirty-four thousand
gallons. Thus we see the tremendous volume
which is held in readiness for fire emergencies.
Throughout the six buildings which comprise the
Camera Works are sixty-two hose-pipes attached to
stand-pipes. The hose-pipes placed end to end,
would measure four thousand, five hunrlred and
fifty feet, or four-fifths of a mile.
Naturally such a water system requires careful
inspection. The hose must be examined, the water
measured, the steam pimips tested, and the main
hydrants must always be in perfect working order.
Sam Barons is the man having this responsible
duty to perform, and his inspection, together with
the three hundred men who comprise the fire pre-
vention squad, make our factory more than reason-
ablv safe from fire hazards.

Another reason is the speakers. At the December
meeting held on Thursday, the 10th. Professor B.
R. Baumgardt addressed the Chib, his subject be-
ing "The Frontiers of the Universe and Recent
Triumphs in CelestialPhotography."
Professor Baumgardt, aside from possessing a
thorough knowledge of his subject, has that ability
to place it before his hearers in a most comprehen-
sive way. His talk was very much enjoyed by
everyone present.
The newly organized Kodak Park Double ^lale

Each person entering the hall received a small

evening, added considerably to the Christmas tone.
During intermission several select numbers sung
by the Rocliester Operatic Quartet, were very well
received. Following this, several prizes were
awarded.
James A. Hart, chairman of this dance, instilled
in his committee a spirit of enthusiasm akin to his
own, which perhaps accounted for the tremendous
success of our third party.
Equally enjoyable was the "Harvest Moonlight"
dance held November 18th. A decidedly clever
arrangement of colors gave one the impression of a
beautiful moonlight evening with stars and harvest
moons in prominence. The subdued lighting effect
achieved by placing paper moons over the lights did
much to add an autumnal tone to the affair. Corn-
stalks and pumpkins around the pillars and refresh-
ment booths completed the picture.
Anna Sharp, well known Kodak Park soloist,
rendered a number of solos to the accompaniment
of the orchestra during the evening. During
intermission, gas-filled toy balloons were distributed
about the hall, one hundred of these being num-
bered. Those receiving the marked balloons were
presented with boxes of candy.

ANOTHER TWENTY-FIVE YEAR


MAN
Harry Dulmage of the Finished Stock Depart-
ment began his career with the Kodak Company
on June 9, 1896, when Camera Works was but one
small building. Harry was employed at that plant
for seventeen years, at the end of which time he
moved with the Repair Department to the Main
Office.
In March, 1917, he was transferred to the Finished
DWIGHT PAUL Stock Department, which was supervised by W. J.
with his gun and "'one buck' German, and, since that time, has had charge of the
Finished Part Stock.

The many friends of William Colburn Seward,


Jr. of the Billing Department, learned with pleasure
that he is to accept a new position in the Rochester
office of the Safe-Cabinet Company. We all regret
his leaving, but wish him continued success.

She of the smiles and bright-colored raiment,


Leora Younghans of the Billing Department, is
back with us again after an absence of three weeks
on account of illness. Leora says she is glad to be
back, too.

same. We hope for a better report in his next letter.

transact necessary business.'
If we read no magazines, advertisements or trade

If we received no callers, interviewed no sales-

If our executives attended no trade conventions,

What Would Happen?
No organization could exist under such narrowing

from conventions, business publications, competi-

ARE YOU BUDGETING ?


"The best method of systematic saving is the planning and carrying out of a personal or
family budget system. With the budget you can plan your income intelligently, and, at the
end of each month and year, know exactly where you stand and can put aside a definite amount
to be saved for some specific purpose.
"Real saving means regularly putting aside a definite amount to meet some of the bigger
needs; not the saving for a few weeks or months, and then spending the money for something
you could have done without."

REEL EMPLOYEE CELEBRATES


T\^TA'TY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY'
William Blowers, of the Reel Manufacturing
Department, began work with the Eastman Kodak
Company on February 3, 1897. He was put to
work blanking out spool ends, which were then
made of brass. At that time, it required the
combined efforts of himself and four other operators
to blank and perfect a spool end. Twenty-five
years ago these five operators could complete about
forty thousand ends per day, while today "Bill"
alone, with the aid of modern machines, will blank
and complete many times that number.
Mr. Blowers can boast of the proud and enviable
record of never having been tardy in all of his
quarter of a century's service.

Should a press fail to pass rigid inspection, George
has authority to "tag" it with a "danger signal,"
and to take steps to see that the machine is repaired.
There is every incentive for operators to "play
safe" with presses, and we are proud to say that
every man working on a machine is a safety booster.
Of course, no one can teach a press not to take
chances, but George is the man who oversees their

excellent likeness of the original, but nevertheless suited to a sleigh-ride as tiie one which the Cleaning-
Inspecting girlspicked for their sleighing party.
The weather was one of the two chief factors in the
success of the affair. The congenial crowd was
the other.
The girls left the plant at half-past seven, and
during the next two hours there were very few
times when their tin horns couldn't be heard in
some quarter of the compass. Everything went
beautifully until Mary Buckley threw a scare into
the party with a self-induced fainting spell. All
efforts to revive her failed. However, when one of
her frightened companions suggested an application
of snow Mary "came to" with startling speed, to
the great amusement of everyone. After this
rather unexpected entertainment, Pauline Leim-
berger enlivened the party with songs which she
accompanied on her ukelele, and ^Vlrs. Owens gave
several Irish selections.
At half-past nine the girls returned to Hawk-Eye
where lunch awaited them. Strange to say, the
strenuous features of their ride had apparently
used only a small part of their energy, and the
second act of their jollification was just as noisy
and productive of fun as the first. After partaking
of plenty of refreshments, they managed to calm

Mr. Quinlin entered the Kodak Office organization

STEREO BOWLERS FINISH IN LEAD


The third season of the Fohiier-Ceiitury BowUng
League was brought to a close on Friday, March 17,
after a most successful winter on the alleys. Much
of the interest in this year's race can be traced to
the exciting three-cornered contest between Stereo,
Compact, and Graflex, which was waged for two
months, resulting finally in victory for the Stereo
squad.
Thereafter, Compact and Graflex went into a
battle for second place honors, a struggle, which,
by the way, did not end until the last balls were
rolled on the final night. Kirvan's good work during
this period came in mighty handy, and Compact
took second place by the narrow margin of one game.
"Andy" Sold's Graflex team was thus forced to
be content with third place, while Auto, Junior,
must be satisfied with the position of cellar champions.
Stereo's high game of 891, rolled early in the
season, stands as a record. Kirvan, with a mark
of 2i4, holds the high single game mark. He also
had the high three-game total until the final night,
when Bird seized the honors with a mark of 584.
Stereo's three-game total of ^^SO is also high.

Fred Von Deben, George Brennan, "Doc" Craib
and George Kosel found their way in and battled
for two hours. Kosel's team was returned victor
by virtue of beating both the Von Deben and the

He was born in Rochester on February 17, 1865,

four years at Kodak Park. His first work in Mr.
Snapp's Department was on rough grinding, but he
was later transferred to the polishing, where he

engagement to Edward R. Van W'icklin. At the

to finish the good work while the spirit moved them,
and were married a few days later, on April 11.
At this writing we have, at best, very meager
details of the occurrence. There are only two things
of which we are sure: That Frances and "Ed"
engineered a very effective surprise, and that Hawk-

married life.
