20 the President" This plan of signing CORE
snondence by proxy has also been employed
nv other high officials notably army and navy
ofacers of high rank. who are served In this
capacity by aids. flag lieutenants. etc.
A phase of governmental work which has
called into requisition great number OF mod
ern business aids, representing wide diver
sity of types is the issuance OF the daily and
weekly and monthly bulletins, announcements,
reports statements etc, which constantly
emanate from all government departments
and the purpose of which is to make notifca-
tion OF changes In various branches of the
public service, the condition Of treasury
funds etc etc II has lately been proposed
that Uncle Sam shall follow the example OF
various foreign governments by Issuing
gazette or official daily newspaper in which
shall be published all of these governmental
announcements of whatsoever character, but
up to date there has been no other method
than TO allow each public official to make his
announcements In his own way.
Some of the daily statements OF what
Uncle Sam Is doing in various lines of activ.
ity are now printed from metal type on ordi'
nary printing presses, Just as circulars or
pamphlets are printed. but for the most part
these daily broadsides are prepared in the
Office where the information originates, by
means Of some one of those numerous new
Inventions LOT duplicating UT reproducing
typewriter sheets. Some OF these mpromptu
printing outfits In the government offices are
operated by hand, but for the most part they
use electrical energy and this is often well
nigh essential. since in many instances an
edition" of thousands OF copies has to be
printed within few hours. In most instances
young men set the type or prepare the wax
stencils that are necessary for this duplcat-
ing operation and since statistics figure in
almost every one of these governmental an
nouncements extreme care is necessary to
insure accuracy.
close second to Uncle Sans printing
and duplicating equipment, both in number
and variety. is the array of governmental APP
paratus for handling the mailing lists to be
used in sending out these various bulletins
That the machines for mechanically address
ing envelopes and wrappers must be qualified
for rapid work may be appreciated from the
fact that some of these government announce.
