The year of 1908 was begun by the
employees of the National Baptist Pub
hshhg lRoslth iR6the sh1cEhbnti af a
most sumptuous repast prepared for
then hyde R. H. Boyd, the manager.
This was the second annual New Years
dinner given by the institution, and 1t
has proven to be the most acceptable
and by far the most epiogable occasion
in the year at the publishing house.
Special arrangements had been made by
the dmaBagenIent% and every employee
tliat\codld possibly attend had been
especially invited. Some Of them were
on vacations, others were taking the
holidays, while still some unfbrtunats
ones were in, but IN all a large por!
tion Jof those employed at the institu-
ton was present. ,E)9INlEuINH
The dinner is only another manifes-
Nation of the'real interest in eachgin9
diYidbAl connected with that religious
9aht by it's management. Dr. Boyd
lad determined I'd make every bne lhaI
py on New Years day. Finding that it
was impossible to give individual pres.
ents that would suit every pne, and at
the same time please himself he con-
cluded long before New Years that he
would have each employee dine with
him Thus, arrangements were begun
fpr the dinner Turkeys, chickens,
hams, beef Toasts, pork, salads, fruit,
pics, coffee, cake and cream, and IN
| fact all the nice eatables we're on hand.
The decoration and the serving Of the
dinner was, directly in charge Of Mrs
Alice Douglass, the well known cater
en- and Mrs. Emma Afford. The, meats
we're prepared at Dwiggi4s, restaurant
while the cream was. furnished by the
Spa Creamery. Two Of, the largest

Computing Tape Measure.

A computing tape measure. which
provides simple and convenient
means for ascertaining weights and
measures without employing calcula-
tons of any kind. is shown in the il
lustration below. It is especially use
full in determining the weight per foot
of tubes, pipes. bars and rods. The
measure is formed by two
or more tapes, arranged side by side.
The one shown here, to be used in
ascertaining the weights of pipes.
has two tapes. one containing figures
to indicate the diameters of the pipe
and the other the weights per foot of
pipes of different diameters. The
measure is used as follows:
To ascertain the weight per foot OF
pipe having an internal diameter
rs inches and an external diameter
rs inches, the upper tape is drawn
out until the figures 2$ appear at
the edge of the slot Both tapes are
then drawn out together until the
figures > Is. representing the external
diameter of the pipe or tube. appear
on the upper tape. The weight per
foot is indicated by the figure on the
lower tape directly below the figures
27s. To determine the weight of
solid or cylindrical rod. both tapes are
