- Time Limit.


The government printing office again
broke a record for rapid work recently,
when it met the requirements of the bu-
reau of Anne rican republics in regard to-
the issue of the monthly publication. A
meeting was to be held Thursday of last
week of the directors of the bureau, and
1t was desirable to have the monthly
issue of the bulletin ready for the visitors
who come from various South American
countries. Eight half-tone. illustrations
and 90 pages of text were printed at
night, and by o'clock the next after
noon the entire edition of $500 copies was
delivered Regardless of the fact THAT
the half tones required considerable time
to dry before pasting, 500 copies were
ready for delivery at s o'clock in the
morning.
1t is understood the departments are
increasing the number of books sent in
for binding. and particularly is this true
of manfolding work. the failure of a
firm in Philadelphia accustomed to hand
ling considerable of this work DETECTING
orders to the government office. The joint
committee on printing is still investigat-
ing the workings of the big printery. it
is said. having received a lengthy state
ment relative to the amount of binding
