 The washing out of the pupils mouths with soap she admits took place, but for telling lies instead of go- ing 10 the ball as the children believed and so reported to their parents.
 The pupils stated that Mrs. Crowder dismissed them and she admits with one exception she sent them home. but at the express orders of Prof. Grimm and stated to him at the time if any trouble arose over the action he, not she, should be made to stand the blame for she believed other forms of pun ishment could be inflicted and obtain equal results.

THE GAZETTE KEEPS PACE WITH
THE ---INSTALLS MACHINE
TYPESETTING To BE DONE BY MACHINERY--THE 0LD
METHODS REPLACED With A LINOTYPE. THE
ACME Of PRINTING PERFECTION.

For the first time in the history
of Colfax newspaperdom a Mergen-
thaler Linotype is being used in
presenting the local news of the week
to Colfax readers. The machine is
the best in the world for this work
and is recognized as the only prac-
teal typesetting machine on the mar
ket today.
The new machine was installed in
the Gazette office last week by C. w.
Tage, representing the San Francisco
branch of the Mergenthaler Linotype
company. Three automobiles of
standard make could be purchased
for its cost. The problem of the
automobile was one of simple propul-
sion, principle old before its appli-
cation to the motor car. In contrast,
the operation of the Mergenthaler
Linotype machine is as complex as
the workings of the human mind. In
the multitudinous appliances by
which it converts raw metal into liv-
ing type it manifests almost uncanny

intelligence. Upon watching its
movements one asks: Is the age
of invention ever to end? Is it possi-
BILE to imprison the human intelli-
gence in moulded steel?
Under the hands of an experienced
operator, the Linotype will perform
stunts that make the old-time printer
open his eyes wide in amazement.
1t can be used in setting, not
only news matter, but advertisements
and commercial job printing.
The accompanying illustration will
give one a good idea as to its ap-
pearance, but you are invited to look

chine, in the strict meaning of the
word it is not, as its various func-
t1ons and movements result in a
solid line OF type being composed and
cast. First the letters are cut into
piece of brass, called a matrix,
which are stored in a magazine on
the machine Connected with the
magazine are number of pawls, or
releases, which hold the matrices in
place. These in turn are connected
TO the keys of the machine. The
operator touches the different KEYS
and as he does so the matrices are
released and fall upon a belt which
carries them to the assembIer. Here
they march, one by one, along the
rails until bell gives warning that
the line is full. Then the line is
raised by means of an elevator and
carried forward to the mold, where
it is automatically spaced, and a
metal pot containing molten type
metal is brought forward to the
mold and a pump forces the metal
into the mold against the assembled
letters and the line is cast. Then
the matrices are raised to the top of
the magazine, where they are auto
matically distributed, each letter fall
ing into its proper place or channel.
The line after being cast is carried
around and the back shaved smooth
by trimming knife and then forced
through another pair of knives which
trims it true sideways. The whole
operation is performed at the rate
of seven lines per minute
The machine weighs 2200 pounds
as it sets upon the floor, is run by a
direct connected motor, contained in
its base, of one-fourth horsepower
and the metal is kept hot by gaso-
line burner
Advertisements, news matter and
job printing all look alike TO the
operator, and attachments on the ma
chine permit its instant change from
one size of type to another, or the
change of length of line. All in all
it is one of the most marvellous pro-
ductions of the human brain and its
many parts are fashioned with a
skill that makes its operation seem
almost as simple as a sewing ma
chine
