Calvin Coolidge And the last is perhaps the most signifi cant, for with the steady progress that is being made in increasing the income and the leisure of the average citizen of the 'United States the problem of the most profitable use of leisure has become important. What Mr. Eastman has made possible for the people of Rochester in music alone will have effects more far-reaching than now can be foreseen. The tributes that come to him to-day are well merited, and, considering the varied view of points the distinguished men who pay them, it is perhaps not a mere coincidence that they epitomize his life: Mr. Edison touches the heart of his business success when he points to his "patient, persistent and untiring labors in the development of the wonderful film which has been so essential to the success of the motion picture"; Vice-president Dawes touches the scope and effect of his benefactions when he says that "his interest in music, art and education has done much to make this country of ours a better place in which to live," and President.Coolidge strikes the key note of his character when he commends his life of "self-effacinfe" service. The kindly feeliftg that the average Roch- esterian has for Mr. Eastman as a man prob is more ably general than Mr. Eastman or his closest friends suspect; the national recog nition that his sound philanthropy and modest character have inspired is indicated by the tributes of the nation's leaders.

no less. When he had invented a hand camera taking a roll of negative paper, Mr. George Eastman coined the name, for trade mark. It is noteworthy that Mr. Eastman had pretty definite ideas about the requisites of such a trade name. He wanted a word I easily spelt, and readily pronounceable on native or foreign tongue. To this end the letters of the alphabet were toyed with until consonants that remain constant and vowels with no greater vagaries of accent than are found, say, between Oxford and Kansas, were ranged in combination. In a published interview with him on its origin he said : "I devised the name Tnyself. A trade mark should be short, vigorous, incapable of being misspelled to an extent that will destroy its identity, and, in order to satisfy trade mark laws, it must mean nothing. If the name has no dictionary definition it must be associated only with your product and you will cease to be known as producing a 'kind* of anything. "The letter 'K' had been a favourite with me—it seems a strong, incisive sort of letter. Therefore the word I wanted had to start with 'K.' Then it became a question of trying out a great number of combinations of letters that made words starting and ending with ' K.' The word ' Kodak ' is the result. Instead of merely making cameras and camera supplies, we — made Kodaks and Kodak supplies. It became the distinctive word for our products."

for Nile Headwaters Will Retrace Route Fol lowed by Kitchener.

By Paul Benton. When the Cunard liner Beren garia pulls out of New York Dec. 14, George Eastman and Dr. Albert D. Kaiser of Rochester and others of Mr. Eastman's party will be on board, headed for the elephant country of Uganda, near the head waters of the Nile. Before they return to Rochester, sometime in March or April, they j will have bagged, if lucky, a j tusker or so and covered the route ! followed by one of the most roman tic military expeditions of modern I times that of Lord Kitchener, then Sir Herbert Kitchener, against the Kalifa, lord of Khartoum and Omdurman. ' Arriving In Cherbourg Dec. 21, Mr. Eastman and his party will M leave Paris Dec. 28, after spending Christmas Day in the French capi tal, and arrive at Genoa, Italy, on the following day. On Dec. 29 they will leave Genoa on the S. S. Italia and arrive at Alexandria Jan. 2, passing New Year's Day at sea. The party will reach Cairo Jan. 4 and leave there Jan. 8, arriving at Khartoum Jan. 12. Leaving the railroad at this point they will travel by special steamer up the Nile, starting Jan. 13 and arrive at Rejaf on the upper Nile on Jan. 28. The following day they will leave Rejaf and, abandoning the river steamer as a mode of ' travel, take to motors with Arua, i Uganda, as their objective. They I expect to reach Arua about Feb. 1 or 2. Good Sport Certain. The itinerary of the motor trip I takes the party from Arua, where they will leave, the fates and African indolence willing, at 7:30 a. m. and arrive at Aba, a rest sta tion, at 4:30 p. m. The following morning they will leave Aba at 8 o'clock and arrive ' at Faradje at 9:30 O'clock. Leaving here at 10:30 o'clock they expect to

reach Watsa at 4 p. m. Here Mr. Eastman will be taken through some mining properties. The next morning they will leave Watso at 8 o'clock and arrive at I Aru, on the frontier of the Belgian 4 Congo, at 4:30 p. m. The following

day they will leave at 8 a m. and reach Arua by nightfall. As to the Itinerary of the trip after reaching Arua, Mr. Eastman said today that he had no idea. "It is in the hands of my friends in Africa We shallr.^ass six days at Arua and thejaasnfke into the the time elephant country'anai.'se* at our disposal there." Replying to a wish that he might have good sport Mr. Eastman J said: I "Well, we hardly hope toy get a I big bull elephant. That woorid be George Eastman and Dr. Albert D.

The return trip will be made I down the Nile, retracing the steps I taken coming in. % Scenes that are as famous in re cent Anglo-Egyptian history as p , ittysburg is in American history will be passed by the Eastman party on their trip. In 1898 the British a' kened government fully kl after ten years of delay to the men ace of the Kalifa, son of the Madhi. founder of a Mohammedan sect of unusual fanaticism, launched a Anal campaign against him under the leadership of Sir Herbert Kitchener. Kitchener pushed his advance along with a railroad which waa built along the Nile. Mile by mile the British railroad advanced and tho Anglo-Egyptian army advanced with It The British, with their British-trained Egyptian and Su danese troops, first met the derv ishes (as the Kallfa's followers were called) at the battle of the River Atbara. a tributary of the Nile, and completely defeated them. Tbe British advance continued lowly and relentlessly until op the battlefield of Omdurman, near Khartoum, the Dervish capital, the m power of the savsge Kalifa was * broken forever and nearly twenty thousand of his bravest warriors died beneath the lire of the un breakable British and Egyptian squares.
