Not long ago It was asserted
on what seemed to be fairly good
evidence that the ancient Egyp-
Trans had some knowledge Of cleo
tricity. Now another modern"
invention has been robbed of it's
youth by recent discovery made
in Crete. Excavators have un-
earthed at Phacotos disk of
clay six and a quarter inches in
diameter which bears on its two
sides 40 figures of men, animals
trees and other things which con
stitute the earliest hieroglyphics
used in Crete. These represent
tatIons are not engraved, but are
stamped with a punch. 1t is a
true sample of Typography and
dates from the twentieth century
before the Christian era. Print
ers therefore will have to look for
the cradle of their race not to
Gutenberg, but to Crete, where
their art was practiced in prim-
tive way four thousand years
ago.

Printing Industry in Front Rank.


Did you ever stop to think of
the army employed in the print
ing industry in the United States
The figures furnished from
Washington are startling. There
are $4,000 editors, artisans,
craftsmen and other workmen
employed in the printing bushes
in this country.
When.it comes to money the
total is rather astounding. The
capital invested is given as $780,
600, 600, and the annual product
reaches the tremendous figures
of $3.50, 900, 900.
1t would appear that printers
ink is well along in the front rank
of American industries.
And the best thing about it is
that the demand of the hour is
for better newspapers, higher
class and more accurate. The
capital invested calls for the best
and every wide awake publisher
is striving for improvement.

port of the Y. NJ. G. A., this amount
being necessary to clean up some

last night $2,50O had been subscribed,

Is not only good thing for the men
of the community, but its efforts for
boys and young men, during the form

II was regarded o. enough import

Vernon, and surely the same argu'
ment that prompted people at that
time to act, now calls for the sup
port of the institution. It should be
Kept In mind that Y. M. G. A. is not
self-sustaining, and an appeal must be
made to the public who are interested
in the welfare of Mt. vernon's future
to contribute to this very worthy
cause.
