A Japanese Composing Room.

The most interesting department of a
Japanese printing plant is the compos-
ing room. Great cases Of type of all
sizes extend the whole length Of the
mammoth room. AS the Chinese and
Japanese characters used in a printing
office run far into the tens Of thou
sands, the life of the compositor must
be continual search for the letter he
desires to use.
The compositors were scuffling around
the aisles of the room hunting for these
characters and all singing at the tops
of their voices, which apparently caus-
ed them to forget the terrors Of their
work. There seemed to be hundreds of
them, and the din was deafening.

There is a reason for everything, but

You will earn more, for this Is what is

The bulk Of the loss could be avoided If
only workers found out the reason and
remedied the leakage. Most women
rush headlong to task. Now, l advo-

object to blind, headlong rushes.
When put to task find out the cause
Of Its being done. Get a definite idea
of your work. Get a realization of
what 1t leads to. Find out why.
What would you think of an architect
