one from that department TO leave
the building unless he has a special
permit.
When the force in one department
are through work for the day, and all
have rendered their account straigh,
the superintendent in charge OF that
branch marches down at the head or
the whole force, and, while they walt
places a little straight key with a but
ton at the end of 1t, into the hole de-
signed as his division. Then there Is
a loud ringing of an electric gong
that sounds throughout the building.
and the Waterman seeing the key in
the hole. permits the men TO pass out.
This is repeated as the days work
of each division is done. The last
key to be put up is that of the eusto-
dian of the vault where the plates are
kept. and when II is there the build
ing is supposed to be empty except
of watchmen. Any one found In the
building after that would have to re-
main there until there was an order
from the proper authority TO let him
out.
The closing scene at the end of the

teresting. In the morning each man
and each woman has been given the
proper assignment OF work. The
women are the counters. testers, wet
tiers and helpers to the pressmen.
Each employ on taking the material
for work. whether It is paper or
plates. gives a receipt for it to the
custodian. No one Y e gives any
thing to any n else without a
receipt.
The paper on which the money is
printed is counted as so much money.
and every time il changes hands must
be counted and receipted for. Even
the girls who act as helpers. and
carry the paper from the wetting
room, have to count IL for their own
protection. and give a receipt to clear
from responsibility the superinten-
dent OF that room.
At the end of the day each must re-
turn In one form OF another all that
his receipts show him to have had
the day. and until he has n
check showing that this has been
done he cannot leave the room.
When the paper and the notes and
stamps have been turned I'm by those
working on them. they are taken
to the custodian of the vault. I'm
whose presence everything is
counted and checked of. Every scrap
OF paper, blank or otherwise. which
was given out In the morning must
be returned. This being done, the Gus
todian puts il all in the vault.
Then the keeper of the inner door
Of the vault must pull that door to
without as much as putting his foot
inside the vault. and while the rest
stand apart from him, so as not to
see the combination. must lock II
securely.
The custodian of the vault then
locks the outer door. which is proyid-
ed with a time lock. so that. being
nee fastened 1t cannot be opened be-
fore the next day at the hour set.
This being done. the custodian and
his assistants are free 10 go after the
key has been put in the board at the
main door.
Then all the plates which have been
in use. and all those which are I'm
process of engraving. and all rolls
and parts Of plates. have to be re-
turned TO the custodian of the plate
vault.
No man can leave the Dom until
every bit of engraved metal has been
returned to the custodian. n one OF
these plates should be missing not a
soul would be permitted to leave the
building until it was found.
II is almost impossible for anything
to go astray, as nothing changes
hands, even for a moment, without
the change being made OF record.
Each man takes sole responsibility
for whatever he Is charged with.
