Tor some purposes, stereotypes are
soft, soon wear out, and do not make
a perfect impression. Eleetrotypes
are better because they have cop
per surface which wears longer and
prints better.
Such plates are made by cleo
trolysis-the process you learned
about in school whereby an object
is plated with metal by means of
electric current passing through a
liquid containing salts of the metal.
An electrotype is made by plating
with wax. In the process, a sheet Of
wax is pressed over the type form
and thus receives an impression
which may be coated with graphite
and chemicals to make it an electric
conductor. Then the wax is sus-
pended in a tank of copper salts and
is copper-plated by means of cleo
trio current, The thin film of cop
per that is deposited on its surface
is later peeled off like a paper skin
containing a reproduction of the
type. When molten tin and lead
have been poured on this film and
hardened, the result is a copper
plated reproduction of the original
type.
"Electrotypes, or 'electros,' are
sent by many advertisers to newspa-
pers and magazines as cheap way
to have all their advertisements look
alike. Electrotypes are also used in
book and magazine Offices because
they are light and easy to store and
because, in a magazine of large cir
culation type would wear out before
all of the edition was printed"

Co-operation to Meet Living Costs.

Railroad section hands and shop laborers
moving in practical way to meet some Of
their living costs. They have purchased an
overall factory and plants for producing other
articles most purchased by them and will
operate the establishment for their own benefit
Other railroad unions are talking of engaging
in similar venture. Cooperative merchandise
ing is not an experiment. While it has pre-
vailed to but limited extent in America, in
other lands notably in Great Britain, it has
been widely practiced and is very successful. If
the labor unions find themselves situated so that
they can engage in the manufacture as we'll as
the sale of the goods their members need, they
will have great advantage in the matter of
price to consumer, as they should be able to
eliminate most if not all the profit taken be-
tween factory and user. 1t is definite way
to solve the cost of living problem, and the out
come of the trial to be made by the section
hands will doubtless determine others who are
contemplating engaging in like undertaking
