THE NEWS BOYS AND GIRLS.

On one of the cover pages The NEWS
presents today modest statement Of
itself.
There is list Of the young men and
the young women who make THE NEWS
and there are some unpretentious
Photographic reproductions showing
what THE News offices look like.
THE News is conscious that it is Of
some interest to great many people,
and accordingly it has pleasure
in presenting these impressions from
life. 1t will probably surprise
a great many intelligent people to note
how big is the force of employees and
how much room is required to produce
the newspaper which is favorite with
SO many of them.
This being the anniversary of The
News under the management which
assumed charge of the property one year
ago, occasion is taken to publish this
informing page.
You may now see for yourselves what
sort of a company of young men and
women it is that is making Tue News.

work in Providence. His paintings have
won him an enviable repute among
our artists, bis decorative work has
added to the beauty of Providence
interiors, he is valued instructor
at tue Rhode Island School OF Design
and AS the chief artist of THE NEWS he
has, with this issue, won a new fame.
The bold conception of the process Of
producing effective color work from the
unpretentious chalk plate is wholly due
TO Mr. MARSHALL And aside from the
grace of his decorations on the cover
pages, and the nicety Of his
drawing, the successful effects
produced are worthy of the greatest
praise. They are wholly the product
of his ability to devise and practically
develop by original methods, and with
boundless enthusiasm, limitless patience,
and capacity for adapting conditions
to his purposes, work of great magni-
tude beset with amazing difficulties in
the way of detail.
Mr.. MARsHALL's achievement is one
that he may well be proud of, and The
News is proud of him and his depart

THE PROTECTIyE DEPARTMENT.

This occasion is taken to remark. with
gratitude and appreciation, that but for
the protective department Of the fire de.
partment of the City of Providence. The
News would have appeared today with
out the handsome covers, to produce
which so much labor and talent has
been devoted. The fire which broke
out in the printing Office where the covers
lay packed in great piles, Thursday
night, was located next to the heaped
up covers. The protective department
were prompt and efficient, as they
always are. They were first to reach the
scene of the blaze and the piles Of
covers were quickly enwrapped with their
blankets. About 40 covers were scorched,
but had it not been for the protectives,
water from the hose would have pro-
duced almost absolute destruction of the
sheets.

wise saws of the editorial advice recon-
mend, but just that thing that will give
pleasure to the recipient.
If a grave doctor Of divinity would be
pleased with scientific top, the top is
the thing to put in his stocking, by all
means. He may need an overcoat, or a
dozen pairs of plush slippers. Let him
continue to need them. 1t is the top
that he wants, and It is the donor OF the
top who will be taken into the heart OF
the reverend ID. ID.
This principle ought to control the
giving to children. make their little-and
how often lonesome hearts glow and
swell, their bright eyes dance, and their
vigorous voices howl with pure delight,
by finding that Santa Claus has brought
then just what they wanted.
OF course, possibility must really rule,
and equally, of course. the little chaps
must not be injured by pandering to an
unworthy or an unhealthy desire. Pa
rents must remember that they are al
ways az WIN upOh Aoho" 6i""""' ""~
that it is far easier to withhold the seed
than to kill out the nonous crop OF
weeds.
But, speaking generally, let the wish
of the recipient guide the purchase
rather than the idea Of utility-that
hateful notion or the conception OF
the giver.
This is the advice OF The NEws,
which knows the sweetness of getting
what it very much wants, as well
as the precise flavor Of hat apple
of Sodom, the gift that demands graft
tude, but is not welcomed as a real
evidence that Christmas is a time for
good cheer and heart-warming only.

BuYING PRESENTS.

Every year, about this time, there is n
food of advice poured out upon the de-
voted heads of those who go forth to
purchase presents for the glad holiday
season.
This advice is, mostly, entirely gratui-
tous, in the sense OF its free offering and
also that it is wholly snperfiuous. That
it is not needed is the happiest incident

land.
1t is full Of good, readable matter, ap-
propriate to the Christmas season, and its
double issue is enclosed in cover
printed in colors-the first work of the
kind ever undertaken by Rhode Island
newspaper and the second to bo pro-
duced in New England.
A word as to this art feature will
probably be interesting. 1t is produced
by the simplest process and Its success
is attributable to the adaptation of this
process to the end desired.
Effective as is this color work, it is
wholly the product of the " "cbalk plate"
that invention of inestimable value to
the daily newspaper, but which, it is
believed, has never been utilized for
anyeffects so elaborate as are presented
with this issue.
The newspaper sketch artists of the
day draw their pictures directly on
plate covered with a surface of firm
chalk. The picture desired is cut into
the chalk. From this stereotype block
is made and the picture is then ready for
printing.
To achieve the results secured on the
handsome cover of today's issue tho pic
ture was drawn complete in the chalk,
as for an ordinary newspaper "cut," and
stereotype was taken. FROM this was
printed the black work of the designs.
Then the artist cut away the chalk plate
wherever he wished to produce solid
color effect in red, and from the plate
thus prepared another stereotype was
cast. Then he again cut out his chalk
for the yellow solid color, and third
stereotype was made. By this time the
chalk plate was pretty well cut away
nearly all its surface scraped off.
From these separate stereotyped blocks
the covers were printed, one color at
time--three in all, while fourth shade
was secured by printing the red blocks
on the yellow.
This process might have been repeated
indefinitely TO any number of colors
desired.
The process is simple but the work
manship and skill required on the part
of artists and sereotypers were
amazing. Nothing but the most careful
and skillful work secured he satisfactory
justification" TO use a technical term,
of the several blocks. 1t will be noted
how nicely one color is placed beside
another color without lappinS. This is
the triumph Of good workm n ship and
the result is immensely gratifying to
the projectors of the process.
All this work is the product Of THE
News Office. The excellent press work
done on the covers is to be credited to
the job printing establishment of Casey
Brothers. But in all other parts, the
composition aud printing Of the big
issue, the designing, drawing, painting
and block making Of the elaborate color
work, are wholly the production of THE
News establishment and done in THE
NEWS building. Aud The News is
trfie proud OF this example Of its facili.
ties and resources.
