Theory on Which He RENTED q
Fine and Raised n Salary.
II was slashing copy on old Storey's
Chicago Times many years ago" said
one of the ests at a reunion dinner.
eve had a correspondent in an Illinois
town who simply would not schedule
his matter. but as he generally sent
good stuff we let him run on, slashing
his stuff to suit the eNigencies of the
night. Besides, his stuff always sug-
gested good headlines, and that was
one Of Storey's hobbies.
ION one occasion the correspondent
sent up about 700 words which went
into 100, with nothing over. On the 100
words | constructed headline which
was right up to the mark. The next
day | was instructed to tell the man
who made out the checks for the colln-
try correspondents to knock IS off the
correspondents pay.
When he received his check, he
wrote to Mr.. Storey saying that under
ordinary circumstances he wouldn't
kick about the deduction, but in this
particular instance he did because the
fool headline over the item made by a
fool telegraph edit had Infatuated the
man whose name 10 mentioned in the
dispatch and brought on a fight be-
tween him and the correspondent, the
result of which was that the CORE
spondent was fined SIS in the police
court.
MIR. Storey was very just man
when you got at him the right way.
He instructed the cashier to send the
correspondent the amount of the fine
and raised my salary because the head
line l wrote had caused row. That
was his way of encouraging head

Wheat md Malt Used In the Manu-
facture of Candy.
A manufacturing plant in New Jer-
sey, formerly used as MANILA paper
mill, is now operated by corporation
engaged in the unique industry of max
ing corrections from wheat and malt,
about the last materials in the world
one would expect to find in candy.
In the earlier stages of the process
the grain is famed, ground and mixed
IN proper proportions. Then it is cook
ed to mash, from which thin strip
is squeezed by hydraulic presses and
conducted to great iron evaporation
Thence the sirup is carried in pipes to
a vacuum pan. Here it is vigorously
stirred and further evaporated. The
thickened strip is drawn off into huge,
shallow tin pans, where it is cooled
and hardened. Plain or favored with
peppermint, the mass is rich golden
brown in color. Combined with choco-
late it is dark as the familiar caramel
in the candy shops.
When Il batch of goods is needed for
the market. the stock in the pans is
broken into pieces and put into Il boiler
surrounded by a steam jacket. 1t is
reduced by heat to the consistency of
tahfy at an old fashioned candy pull.
Skilled wor.imen shape the mass into
