THE ENGRAVING PLANT.

YOu have noticed of course the in
creased number of pictures which have
been in the MissOurian since the be-
ginning of the second semester. The
! School of journalism is now able to
make its own cuts in an engraving
plant in the basement of SwitZler Hall.
Herbert Smith. an assistant in Jour
nalism and member of the II class
in journalism. has charge of the plant.
The new department serves the double
purpose of making cuts for the Missou
rian and of furnishing practical dem
onstratiOns in the art of newspaper
illustration.
One should take at least half day
to get an understanding of the pro-
cesses. Ii is almost as easy to tell
blind man about the sunset as to de-
scribe the making of cut unless the
person is there to see each process.
Even then il takes close attention and
hard thinking.
Newspaper illustrations are of two
classes. zinc etchings, made from line
drawings. and half-tones made from
photographs; or other copy" with
wash or middle shades
The original copy of line drawing
is first photographed upon a sensitized
glass plate. When the plate is devel-
oped and touched up as much as it
needs. the image is printed through
the glass plate on a plate of sensitized
metal. At the end of the exposure
the metal plate is put in water and
the composition of its face is such that
all the parts upon which the light
shone are washed away. Since the
light did not touch the metal plate
wherever there was a line or mark on
the glass plate. the lines and marks
are left.
The parts which are left are the
only places which will print. All that
is necessary is 10 cut out the spaces
between lnt liiieS Win h'iu W hhdh'
the plate print more distinctly. There
are many fine and delicate operations
during this process. of course. but
the skill required is simple compared
with that needed in making half-tone.
However. the principle is much the
same. All that the engraver is re-
quired TO be is photographer. an cleo
trician to use the arc lights, with
which he secures the light for printing
and TO run the motor: chemist TO
work with the acids and other chemi-
Gals: carpenter and machinist 70 cut
out and mount the cuts on blocks Of
wood: a printer to know how the cuts
are going to print out. and few other
minor professions" which, without
doubt, entitle him to the degree of
lack of all trades Mr.. Smith is also
an artist and draws many of the illus
trations used in the Missourian. In
large plant there is different man for
each operation.
The problem in the making of half
tones is that lines and white space do
not show the features of a person or
scene: Shading must be secured by
dots and white space II is the problem
of the engraver TO make the dots of

STINT WEEK.

II is not too early now To begin
telling our graduates and former stu
dents about stunt week this year. Stunt
Week this time will mean much to the
old graduate or former student. for
many of his classmates will attend
the celebration of the seventy-fifth an
niversary of the founding of the Uni
versity
TO begin advertising the week now
will mean that more will attend than
if the talking about the stunt is done
toward the end of the term. More
persons attending this year will mean
an increased attendance next year.
for they will tell their friends and
persuade them TO come next year.
You cant avoid the fact that the
oftener person is asked to do a thing,
the more likely he is to do it; so to
begin impressing Stunt Week and
Founders Day on the old graduates
early will increase the chances of their
attending.

SEEING THE UNIVERSITY

such relative size that all the shading
will be right. If he does not. the light
places will be too white and the dark
places too black. Here is the part of
the process which is hard to under
stand The dots are formed by pho
tographing the picture on to glass
plate through screen. The screen
when magnified looks like a screen
door except that the lines run diago-
nally to make them less conspicuous
in the printed picture. The lines are
etched on the glass. 100 to the inch for
the Missourian. The number of lines
on the screen to the inch depends upon
the quality of paper to be used. Cuts
for magazines have screens as fine as
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1914-04-15

When the metal is developed. the acid
eats away all parts where the light has
not shone. Since the light cannot shine
through the dots the reason for large
dots in the light spaces is seen. The
parts which are eaten away VIII not
print. of course. Little is eaten away
in the dark plates, since there are few
dots to protect, and since little OF the
metal is eaten away, these places Will
take lots of ink and print dark. Al
though the dots are almost micro
scopic i'm size. the shading of the half
tone is secured by their distribution
over the cut in relative sizes. AS has
been said. they are the essential fea-
lures around which the art is built.
The process of etching consists OF
hardening the face of the metal plate
by heating and of touching up the
places which need it. The parts of the
plate which are all right are painted
over with varnish. while the acid eats
down parts which stand out too much.
The yarnish is easily removed by gasO-
line when the touching up is finished.
In this process again there are many
difficult steps requiring much skill.
Books are written on the subject OF
one or two processes. So it is useless
to attempt to discuss them all i'll this
article.

POO to the inch. All the light in pho
tographing the picture on to the glass
plate must filter through the screen.
The art is built around the fact that
the dots grow as the exposure con-
tinues. The intensity of the light de-
termines the rapidity of the dot
growth If the plate should be given
one long exposure the dots would be
too large in the. white spaces and
too small in the dark. Ii is necessary
therefore to photograph a piece of
blank white paper for about minute.
This causes a uniform growth of small
dots all over the plate. When the pic
ture is exposed. the dots grow faster
on the light places of the picture but
those on the dark places have a start
and the proper relationship is kept,
which makes the right shading in the
picture.
Two exposures of the picture are
given with different amounts of light
admitted. The more light allowed to
enter, the faster in proportion do the
dots in the light places grow. The
developing and finishing of the glass
plate is the most delicate part of the
work. Most of it is done under an eye
glass. Ii the dots are too large. they
are eaten" down by cyanide.
The image is then printed upon the
metal plate through the glass plate.

ADMIRAL JEWELL WINS
UNIQUE GOLF TOURNEY

4 golf tourney. unique AS 1t was
original, was held yesterday
morning on the links Of the Chevy
Chase Club. The list Of entrants
was confined to retired admirals
who graduated from the Naval
academy prior to 1870. About
twelve officers participated In the
event, which was blind handicap
tourney, and so successful was 1t
that 1t will very likely be made
an annual event.
The total list Of scores was not
announced. hut the handsome cuo
awarded for first place was won
by Admiral Jewell of the class
of '64, with Admiral Hubbard
getting the lowest net score.
The event was held under the

Today's Play Starts Early.


Chairman Leech and the other members
of the tennis committee will try to get
today's play under way early, as 1t is the
intention to finish up the tourney by Fri
day, If possible. Today's card embraces
the finals Of the mems singles. the mems
doubles. the women's singles and the con-
solutions of the mems singles.
Considerable interest hinges around the
play in the womens singles many of the
clubs best players taking part in matches
yesterday or practicing for today's con-
tests. Miss Bryan is the holder Of the
championship and just now is at the top
of her game, as they say in golf. and will
be hard proposition to get out of the
way. The most likely opponent of Miss
Bryan is Miss Baker. who recently went
down to defeat before the sensational
playing of Miss Pendleton of Cincinnati
in the Chevy Chase tournament. The ex-
perts around the clubhouse pick Miss
Baker to win the singles and then take
on Miss Bryan for the title. II this pair
meets. the interest will be almost as great
as that of today's great contest.
