UNKISSED BRIDE
ASKS ANNULMENT
Las Vegas Girl Who EIoped
Tells of Romance in
Los Angeles

The lmpulsive love of a pretty high
school girl which led to an elopement
from Los Angeles two years ago and
resulted in the bride leaving her hus-
band two hours after they were mar
ried was disclosed today in the an
nulment suit of Hazel L. Bray Tor
bert, of Nevada, against John E. Tor
bert in San Bernardino.
Mrs. Torbert declared that she was
an "unkissed bride" and that she kept
the story of her wedding a secret even
from her mother for two years.
16-YEAR-oLD BRIDE
The elopement occurred on Septem-
ber IA. 1915. Mrs Torbet, who was
16 years old, came to Los Angeles in
the summer for a vacation. She met
Torbert and after a hasty romance
her impulsive love led her to the
elopement.
Torbert and his bride were married
in Santa Ana, the "harbor of honey
mooners." Two hours after the mar
rage the girl claimed she regretted
what she had done and fled home to
her mother in Las Vegas.
Keeping her marriage secret from
her parents, the girl finished her high
school education and entered college.
Mrs. Torbet asked in her complaint
that the marriage be annuled on the
ground that she was too young to
marry and that she did not have her
parents consent at the time she was
welded.

topped trunk, silver watch, $50 in
cash-and brains.
He worked in his cousins electri-
cal factory in Washington and in 1876
began to experiment with a machine
to do away with type-setting by
I hand After seven years of labor he
decided that he was working on the
wrong principle. But so steadfast
and intelligent had been his exper-
iments that he inspired the conf
dence of a group of wealthy men.
In 1883 they engaged him to go on
with the work and he renewed his
efforts.
Early in January of the following
year, Mergenthaler invited the men
who were backing him to come to
his shop in Bank Lane, in Baltimore.
Before the little crowd of men he sat
down before the keyboard of his
machine, touched the keys. and in
fifteen seconds a solid line of type
shining like silver and all ready for
the press, slipped out of the machine.
So satisfied were the hackers that
they formed a company estab-
lished linotype factory and put Mr..
Mergenthaler in charge.
In 1885 an improved machine was
exhibited in Washington. Printers
journeyed from all over the country
to see it. President Arthur made a
special trip from the White House to
look at it, In 1886 the machine met
the approval of the big newspaper
publishers. Orders poured in and the
factory commenced to work at capac-
ity But it was not until 1888 that
Mergenthaler built a machine with
which he was really satisfied. That
Linotype was his masterpiece, and 1t
was substantially in that form that
the machine remained until its inven-
tors death in 1899.
The life of Mergenthaler should
prove an inspiration. Through his
steadfast courage and cheerful per-
sistency, he accomplished a work
which has become one of the great
est factors of the world in the spread
of knowledge.
On May IL, last, Mrs. Emma F. Mer-
genthaler, widow of the famous inven-
ventor, accompanied by her only
daughter, Mrs. Rody P. Perkins, a
bride of three months, came from her
home in Baltimore to Chicago as the
guests of a notable gathering called
to honor the sixty-third anniversary
of the birth of Ottmar Mergenthaler,
who may without fear of contradic-
ton be called one of the greatest in
! ventors of the last few decades

COUNTY EXEMPTION
BOARD WAS BUSY

The military exemption board for
Clark County, composed of Sam Gay,
Chairman, Harley A. Harmon, Clerk
and DR.. Roy w. Martin, has complet-
ed the first branch of the work sub
mitted to them by the government.
This consisted of making duplicates
of all registration cards, numbering
them in red ink and forwarding them
to the Governor. These duplicates
willprobably be used by the govern
ment in drawing by lot those who are
to serve in the first army of half a
million men to.be called for training.
1t is believed that the drawing will be
held soon after July 10th
AS there are 697 names on the
! Clark County list of registrations,
the task of the board was strenuous,
but it was carried out according to
orders and completed on time.

races for boys and girls and other
small sports served to entertain the
crowd during the day and in the even
ing the happy occasion received its
climax in the dance which lasted until
the wee small hours.
An especially pleasant feature of
the celebration was the patriotic
music furnished by the Las Vegas or
chestra led by Mr.. Kelly
Everybody reported pleasant
time, thanks to the pleasant hos
pitality extended by the canyon
folks.

The Age has this week completed
the installation of a Model Nine
teen Mergenthaler Linotype and
herewith presents to its readers
paper printed from Linotype
slugs. The old. worn type will now
be Telegated 70 the printers Hell
Box" and the paper will always ap
pear with a new and clean face.
Moreover, by means of this wonder
full piece of mechanism, the work of
setting the type for the paper can
be done much more. easily and in a
fraction of the time required by hand
setting. We will therefore have a
great deal more time to devote to
the important work of gathering the
news and writing up the varied re-
sources of Southern Nevada. and
hope to be able to give our readers a
better paper.
The Linotype. pronounced line-o-
type, the name being descriptive of
the machine) assemblies a series of
small molds called matrices, and
from them casts the line of type
on the edge of a solid metal slug.
These are locked in a form in
the proper arrangement and placed
in the press to print the paper.
When the paper has been printed,
the slugs are simply thrown back into
the metal pot of the linotype and the
metal used again and again. Thus
distributing the type. which by the
hand set method takes almost as
much time as the setting up, is elm
mated.
The Linotype is a wonderful and
complex piece of mechanism and a
complete description Of the various
parts and the manner in which all
the parts work together in perfect
time and harmony to accomplish its
results would require a volume and
we will not attempt it here. The
workmanship of the machine is per-
feet, each part being of the finest
steel and other material, the whole
bringing pleasure to any lover OF
fine machinery. We invite all inter
ested to call and see our new Model
| Nineeen work and will be glad to
explain it to them.
To illustrate the wonderful range OF
work of the linotype, we would say
that every word of this article, in
cluding headlines and all. except the
cut, is set by our Model Nineteen.
Ottmar Mergenthaler was born
May II, 1865 in a little town in
