DID WORK OF HIGH ORDER
Designs Wrought by Ancient Peruvian
Dyers Have Been Given Much
Praise by Experts.

The ancients of Peru, by a curious
cOincidence-fOr there could not pos
sibly have been any intercourse with
their contemporaries in India and
Egypt-seem to have used much the
same kind of processes in printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured. Both Herodotus and
Pliny, among early historians, have
told US about the cloths of vegetable
fiber made by the ancients; but in all
likelihood the fabrics Of the Peruvians
were of even n more remote date. In
some respects the methods Of today
bear strong resemblance 10 the older
practice. The chief difference con-
sists in the patterns now being Ell
graved upon copper rollers and several
colors being printed at one time. Just
as today the coloring matter of dyes
IL not affixed by merely printing it on
the material, but is secured by means
of n substance known as mordant, so
did the Peruvians make use of a prop
erty which caused the dye to adhere
and to withstand a test of thousands
of years wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction of tech
nical and artistic value the designs in
question have no equal.

PEACE TALKS WILL
BEGIN DECEMBER IS
PRELIMINARY CONFERENCES OF
ALLIES ARE SET FOR MIDDLE
OF THE MONTH.
Believed That Nations Represented at
Conference Will Agree on Some
Peace Points Before Christmas,
But Must Extend Armstce.

Paris.-December 16 has been def
nitely set as the date on which the
preliminary conferences will begin be-
tween President Wilson and Premiers
Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Or
lando
The program thus far developed
warrants belief that the nations now
represented by these men will agree on
some points of peace before Christmas.
The smaller nations are then expected
to be consulted as to details.
Germany will not be called in before
late in January, it is believed, and
than only to hear the results of the
allied-American deliberations and to
suggest notifications.
Meanwhile the armistice will have
to be prolonged and that question al
ready is being considered. No diff
culties are looked for on that score.
The genera. feeling here is that once
the allies and America have agreed on
the main points, they will impose the
peace terms upon Germany with little
discussion.
1t seems obvious that the central
powers settlement of their own gov
ernmenta and social problems will
have a considerable bearing upon the
final peace treaty.
None of the delegates are making
extensive reservations mt Versailles,
which is taken as proof that the all
important work is to he done at the
foreign office on the Quai dOrsay,
with only two or three plenary SEES
sionS. including the final ratification
at Versailles.
Premier Lloyd George and few
others, however, may continue TO re-
side at Versailles while the congress
lasts

How They Conversed,

An American liaison officer who
knew little French and a French artil-
lery officer who knew little English
had important business together dur
ing the height of the recent fighting.
Henri" said the commandment to a
young sergeant, Il have seen you talk
ing to Americans several times. Can
you speak English?"
mo, mon commandant," answered
Henri simply.
For all that, Henry and the Ameri-
can officer were soon engaged in viva
cious conversation. At it's conclusion
the commandant turned to Henri.
But you speak English very well"
he said.
mo, mon commandment" Henri still
insisted. 1--WE were talking In Ger

Fred Myers and Jere Gardenhire editors and pub
fishers of the Carthage Courier have recently added
Model 10 Mergenthaler Linotype machine to their print

of the type for the paper This machine is
OF the wonders of the day. and is great credit to the
inventive and mechanical mind. 1t does the work in
that leads think that it must have human
thousand pounds and is driven by an electric
let it be said here to the credit of the owners Of the
splendid electric light plant Carthage that the machine
would not at all have been practical to without electric
power On the linotype machine is keyboard something
like typewriter and to operate you hit the key for the
letter character desired and brass marce with the
engraving of the letter character will fall and one
after another the matrices will form line and through
the operation Of the machine the line of letters words
will be placed IN position and from hot metal will be cast
line of type After the line has been cast the machine
takes the matrices and places each of them just where
belongs ready for again So all day long the machine
operator has much type set five six good printers
would have gotten up by hand The machine is not only
great labor and time saver but with its the paper
will be set with type each week.
The installation of the machine is expensive prop
oston but the publishers of the Carthage Courier
always insisted that there is nothing good for the
people of Smith County and they always striving to
go forward.
On account of the machine being so unusually heavy
found that would not be practical TO in the
office of the Carthage Courier and within the
next week. the equipment will be removed to the building
just opposite the Chapman Hotel, and everybody has
cordial invitation to pay the Carthage Courier visit in
its home.
