first machine ever produced which
would cast bars and slugs.
From the time OF the invention Of
the first machine in 1877 to the
present day. the popularity OF the
machine has increased greatly.
The rapid rise OF the machine Is
perhaps best shown by the compar-
ison of the machines now In use.
1t is estimated by authorities that
TIE number of these machines now
in use is something more than twen-
ty times as many as were in use
eighteen years ago
The first official test of the Mer-
genthaler invention took place in
Baltimore, Md, in July, 1884.
On that day great crowd of cur
ious persons had gathered at a print
shop on Bank Lane to witness the
ful invention
When everything was ready Mer-
genthaler called for the steam to be
attached; he composed line, re-
moved the stopper from the metal
pump, and touched the line key.
Smoothly and silently the matrices
slid into their places, were clamped
and aligned, the pump discharged
its contents, finished linotype,
shining like silver, dropped from
the machine, and the matrices slid
again to their normal positions. The
whole operation consumed but Is
seconds and the success of the in
yention was instantly recognized.

Luke McLuke Says

A mother knows that her baby is
going to be a great thinker because
OF the. thoughtful way he sucks his
thumb when he isn't crying.
Any woman would rather have lost
her money than her hair. But It is
different with men.
1t Is sometimes hard to determine
who do the most harm-your enc
mics with the worst intentions or
your friends with the best.
Why do men think It wonderful to
see woman's leg? Legs are not so
unusual. Nearly every creature in
the world has legs.
1t always tickles n busy man when
he manages to Introduce two chronic
bores and they start to bore each
other.
A woman Is never guilty OF pro-
crastination when II comes to spend
ing the money her husband gives
her.
or course II isn't very sentimental.
But a case OF cramps will soon make
a girl forget a broken heart.
While We know that we are an
Iconociast and brute. we still insist
that most OF the Higher Thought
stuff is flapdoodle and siush-mush-
gush.
The women are hunting a lotion
that will not produce downy growth
Of hair when used. And the bald
headed men are hunting one that
will.
The only opportunity some Uen
seek is one to get along without hav-
Ink TO work.

Twilight Sleep at orpheum.
According to one Of the most
eminent physicians In New York, the
most vital question Of the day-aside
! from the great European conflict.
| is painless childbirth; better known
as Twilight Sleep.
| 1t is a most remarkable state Of
J affairs that this, the greatest bless
ing to motherhood that science has
given the world, and which has elm
mated the terrors and anguish Of
maternity, has been accepted in every
country in continental Europe, even
as far off as Japan. the country that
gave the world much of its present
knowledge of sanitation in war; but,
as yet is not generally accepted In
/ the United States. Why? This Is
! the question that both the medical
and lay press is asking the prOfes-
sion.
| For four years Dr.. Kurt e. Schlos-
singk was associated with Profes-
| sors Kronig and Gauss, the discover
ers OF Twilight Sleep, and In June,
| 1914, he was sent to this country by
the staff of the Frauenhinik, at Frei-
burg, Germany, for the sole purpose
OF discriminating the knowledge he
had acquired in rendering childbirth
painless and to teach the gynecolog-
! lists and obstetricians of this country
the technique Of this treatment i.i
maternity cases.
DR.. Scilossingk has personally de-
livered, since his arrival here, over
500 Twilight Sleep babies and has
held clinics in many OF the hospital;
in the principal cities as far west as
Chicago.
