BRIDGES CONNECT WINGS.
Two to Be Constructed at the Gov
eminent Printing Office.

Two new bridges connecting the north
and south wings of the government
printing Office are to be erected as soon
as present plans are completed. The
floors to be connected are the second and
fourth, and it is expected that thereby
much unnecessary handling of material
will be avoided.
The job department is located in the
south wing, second floor, while the job
presses are across the areaway in the
north wing. The same condition exists on
the fourth floor, where the pamphlet
binder and the folding machines are
separated by the court. In both cases
il has been necessary to truck materials
nearly block TO convey them to the
scene of the next operation.

OUTPUT OF POSTAL CARDS.
Government Printing Office Supplies
100000 a Day.

The delivery of postal cards at the rate
of 100000 a day has enabled the govern
ment printing Office to nearly catch up
with the demands Of the Post Office De-
partment for surplus stock. Paper
stock troubles have interfered with the
production of the postals and three shifts
of workers have been necessary to meet
the requirements.
Capt. Brian attributes much of the trou-
BILE to the paper mills. a new paper was
decided upon. and the contractor has met
many disappointments in producing the
exact kind wanted by the authorities
Rolls of paper from the same mill, it is
said, have not acted the same in the
printing presses.
Paper is a peculiar substance" said
the deputy public printer this morning
One roll will work all right, the next will
curl up when the postals are printed. and
the third will again be O. KID, and all
from the same batch at the mill Like
ox-tail soup, if paper is not properly
seasoned it is simply spoiled
