TYPESETTING MACHINES
Said to Be Reducing Cost of Compost.
ton at G. P. o,

The amount of composition turned out at
the government printing Office by the las
typesetting machines is increasing from
week to week. the operators becoming more
proficient and the methods of handling
the matter more simplihed.
The Mergenthaler typesetting machines
are utilized principally in the Record room
although several are a work at the Library
branch and job room. The day force OF
the Record turns out the regular work OF
the office, but so much of this is sand
wlched III with the unfinished work of the
nlght force that an estimate of the amount
of production would necessitate computing
each separate job. On the night force the
Mergenthalers handle the Congressional
Record, documents, hearings and anything
else that may need attention
The class of matter run in the Ianston
typesetting machine divisions is such that
Ii Is possible to know exactly the number
of ems of type handled The figures for
the first two weeks of the present month
show the extent of the inroads of the me-
chanical printer in the field of the hand
compositor. The Gazette division during
this period turned out slightly more than
SOOO,Wo ems of type, or an average oil
300 ems per hour per operator.
The fifth division handled more than II :
0uU,OOO ems of straight and tabular matter
during a period of two weeks, the entire
battery of keyboards averaging 5000 ems
each per hour although five detailed on a
catalogue on which 1t was impossible to ex-

SCENIC RAILWAY DAMAGED.
Early Morning Fire at Cabin John
Bridge Park.

Fire which is supposed to have originated
from 'carelessiy dropped cigarette stump
last night ruined the scenic railway at
Cabin John Bridge Park. The blaze was
discovered by residents of Glen Echo. and
all the men and boys In that suburb turned
out and formed volunteer fire brigade.
Buckets and axes were brought from the
houses. and while some of the younger men
climbed out on the structure others formed
long line to the canal and passed buck
cts OF water along the chain to the fire.
A strong breeze was blowing at the time.
and the work of the volunteer firemen was
difficult in the extreme.
First arrivals at the park stated that the
fire started in one of the dips" where the
railway almost touches the ground, and it
was blazing fercely toward the engine
house and the main building when work
to check it was begun. The brigade with
axes cut down the timbers on both sides
OF the fire, and in this way the blaze was
prevented from completely consuming the
scenic railway and probably other adjoin-
Ing buildings. 1t was about 2:30 o'clock
In the morning when the fire started, and
some Of the charred lumber was still blaz-
Ing at 7 O'Clock. The tunnel with the
scenic" effects of the railway, and all the
lower portions of the structure were de-
stroyed. No estimate of the amount OF the
loss could be obtained, because the owner,
j. A Cathcart, Is at his home in Atlantic
City. He was notified of the fire by tele-
graph by j. J. Decker of Glen Echo.

the Graduates.

The twelve young ladies who received their
diplomas yesterday afternoon as graduates
OF the Garfield Memorial Hospital School
for Nurses were given wholesome advice
and admonition by Secretary Shaw in his
address at the graduating exercises. They
were warned against becoming professional
nurses IN the sense OF making their work a
business for financial gain rather than an
exalted calling for the benefit of humanity
The stipend the secretary told his hear
ers, is indeed necessary and something to
be industriaily sought. but its acquisition
should be subordinated to the higher princi-
pies of the profession. The speaker paid a
tribute to the work done by those who de-
vote their lives to nursing.

raced lawns at Garfield Hospital at O clock
TO attend the exercises. The program

nurses, read a report on the work of the
school, The paper was also devoted in
part TO discussion of the need OF legal
lied system of registration for nurses in the
District or Columbia Attention was called
10 the fact that registration Is required by
law In many of the states, and the con-
vlction was expressed that unless such reg
ulations are adopted in the District this
city will become place of resort for In
competent persons posing as professional
nurses.
Following the address of Secretary Shaw
the diplomas were presented to the gradu-
ates by Mr.. E. Southland Parker of the
board of directors. He took the place of
Mr.. Joseph X. McCammon, the president
or the board. who was prevented from at
tending by Illness Later refreshments were
served.
