USED BY ORIENTAL PRINTER
Type-Setting Device That Would Seem
to Be Fearful and a Wonder
full Thing.

According TO reliable reports from
Hawaii, an apparently successful ma
chine for setting japanese and Chinese
type has been developed and is in use
at a Honolulu newspaper plant. Its
size seemingly gives it ludicrous APP
pearance, for IL Is described as looking
like a model Of the Brooklyn bridge.
The Keyboard extends along the CEN
ter beneath the bridge" for its full
length, while the operator is provided
with sliding seat ON which he can
move from one end to the other when
working. Rectangular brass tubes are
used as cases for the type, and when
the latter are released, by pressure
upon the keys, they are caught by a
belt carrier and. conveyed TO one end
where they are deposited in holder.
The 5000 or flOre characters used by
oriental printers have been classified
into approximately 100 units. These
are collected in the brass tubes which
are likewise classified by means of
snotches on their sides. While it is
intended to market the machine in
China and Japan, the opinion has been
expressed here that its sale will prob
ably be very limited, owing to its cost
and the fact that it will have to COM
pete with the cheapest kind of labor in
the cities of both those Countries

Proper Living Conditions Pay.

In a report on Scamp Sanitation
and Housing" the California state
commission of immigration and hous-
ing offers this buslnesslike Illustration
to large contractors:
Suppose a camp of 200 men with
pay roll of $500 per day: If living
conditions are bad and the sleeping
accommodations make a reasonable
rest impossible, II the food Is fly In
Tested and the toilets are unclean and
and dissatisfied and some become sick.
Experience has shown that often under
such conditions there will be % per
cent loss of working efficiency, or a
loss a day of 500, or $1,000 a month.
The sum Of $40 day, or $500 month.
will! cover easily the cost Of good sani-
tation. This camp, therefore, can save
$2,700 month by installing model liv-
ing conditions, and do away with the
serious handicap of an ever-quitting
force. Few employers of unskilled
labor realize their loss through sol
diering' Of discontinued workers. Pet
ty strikes and a labor force continu-
ally quitting, both frequent products
of bad camp conditions, often increase
the cost of work beyond the profit.
Therefore, 1t is not only to the interest
Of humanity but to your own interest
to have sanitary and 1ivable' camp"

Minus-Zero Blast Chilled the Captain

PRISONER USES TIME WELL
Convict In Federal Penitentiary at

Vention Of Considerable Value.

Ia
Theodore Murdoch, an inmate Of the
federal penitentiary at Leavenwofth
Kan, has invented a motor tire cas-
ing which II is claimed will preserve
the tire for distance Of $1,000 miles
Of rough wear, the Kansas City Star
says. During the five months he was
confined in Isolation" Murdoch
worked patiently on the main feat
ures, perfected the specifications and
did everything else possible toward its
completion. except to make a model.
He then sent it TO the patent Office
at Washington.
On Fc' ruary 20 he received letter
from the patent office informing him
that his patent had been granted and
that its number was 864309. Murdoch
claims that his improvement excludes
any foreign particle from coming in
contact With the tire, prevents pune
ture and blowouts. and at the same
time gives the same residence that
the tire affords In the absence OF his
casing, which is fitted together 30 as
to preserve this most necessary feat
ure. The government "roomer and
boarder" has been In communication
with some OF the large motor car man
ufacturers, and he expects to sell the
patent shortly.
