Dard Hunter Follows
Methods OF Fifteenth
Century
AReprooueh61 of The W1kx
centinsie; Tuscany.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, Nov. An
the entire history of publishing, ex-
tending over almost five centuries,
there has never been but one man
who has made a book complete. The
man who has performed this remark
able task is Dard Hunter, who not only
writes the books that he publishes but
makes the paper and type and does the
actual printing of all the editions. >
Mr.. Hunter has been interested in
fine book printing many years and his
love for the craft comes through long
line of publishers, as his ancestors
have been engaged in this work since
about 1850.
Began With Hubbard
Dard Hunters earliest work in book
making was done for the late Gilbert
Hubbard at his Roycroft Shop, and here
Mr.. Hunter designed upward of 250
different books and pamphlets.
Paper, type and ink form the working
materials for the ordinary publisher,
but the materials with which Dard
Hunter makes book are linen and cot
ton rags for the paper and steel, copper,
lead, tin and anthony for the type.
From these raw substances he produces
books
Went To Italy
To learn the art of paper-making by
hand he went to Italy and studied in
mill where handmade paper had been
produced for centuries. He studied
type design with the late Rudolph Won
Larisch in Vienna and later went to
the Royal Technical college of Finsbury.
London, where he made specially of
tool-making with England's foremost

Descendants Of British
| Aristocrats Prepare To
Migrate To New Fields
fBy Associated Press.

LONDON, Nov. 4.---The aristocratic
of ancestral and ducal man
|sions in London will soon be a~thing of
1.-The past. Since the Duke of Devon
shire sold Deyonshire house in Picca-
|diliy, there has been move on the part
|of descendants of the aristocrats to
give up. their family mansions and mi
|grate to new pastures.
Recently, the Duke of Westminster
LEASED Grosvenor house to one of the
|new ,peerage and now the town house of
the Duke of Norfolk, one of the Oldest
|peerages in the country, is for sale. The
Dukes of Norfolk have lived in Nor
folk house in st. James Square for
generations and the changing of owner
|ship in connection with such an ancient
property so full of traditions is con-
|sidered in some quarters to be the
of another social wave
which, at times in London affairs, has
moved the center of wealth and fash
lion. The latest of such moves was
from Bloomsbury to Mayfair and Bel
|gravia. Society, however, is pretty
firmly established in these neighbor-
hoods, despite the fact that many near
by squares, once exclusively aristocratic,
are being invaded by blocks of modern
office buildings, flats and clubs.
Kings Barber Quits
Added to election memorials, unvell-
ings and the cutting of expenditures at
Buckingham palace, which arise to
worry his majesty, King George, is the
announcement that John Hogan, who
has kept the kings beard in neat trim
for Is years, intendst to throw the
royal patronage after 'the first of the
year and retire to small village shop.
Hogar, who followed, the king about
the country whenever the royal family
took up residence in their many seats,
saws that he does not mind welding the
shears on the royal beard while in Lon
don. but he does object to travelling
about the domains in the royal wake.
As custom does not allow royal servants
of such intimate service to work for
others, Hogan has decided to content
himself with opening small shop
where he hopes that change of sub
iect. from remarks about the weather
and horse racing to intimate bits on
royal affairs, will overcome the estab-
lished patronage of his competitors.
His maiesty's subjects will be inter
ested in observing how well Hogars
place is filled by whatever artist IS
chosen to succeed him. Hogan doesn t
hold out much hope that any one VINO
steps into his boots will be able TO sat
isfy the king, who, the retiring beard
trimmer declares, is extraordinarily
particular in this respect.

OLD IRON MILL
DIES AFTER SO
YEARS AT WORK
Famous Pittsburg Firm
Closes And Will Stay
Closed For Good

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 4.-One
year less than a century ago an iron
mill was built on the outskirts of Pitts
burg. 1t was a small affair, construct
ed on the banks of the Allegheny river
by the firm of Miltenberger & Brown.
For ninety-nine years it grew and
PLAYED an important part in the city S
industrial life. but now, instead of be-
ing on the outskirts of Pittsburg, 1T
stands within a few blocks of the very
heart of the city's shopping district
and office center.
And this is the chief reason the old
est independent iron and steel mill IN
Pittsburg is being torn down. The
firm of Brown & Co, Inc, the present
owners, is going out of business be-
cause there is too much business.
The site of the mill occupies about
three acres and if it continued opera
lions it would be necessary to expand.
And there is no room for expansion.
On three sides are tall buildings and
on the other is the river. j. Stuart
Brown, grandson of the founder, said
he did not wish to assume the respon-
sibility of erecting a new plant else
where, and he felt he deserved rest,
Consequently the business will be dis
continued.
Decision to stop work in the mill
was reached last June and not a wheel
of its machinery has turned since.
When running at full capacity the
plant employed between 400 and 800
men. Most of the old employees have
found work elsewhere.

JohnC. Colwell, ,Jr.. indicates MI
ColwelI will conclude his series of articles
with the tenth, which is soon to appear
1t was inevitable that the pendulum
of time should swing back toward the
rivers and a more economic form OF
transportation. The World war gave
it the necessary momentum. The IN
creased industrial activity incident to
martial relations brought the nation face
to face with condition with which the
railroads were unable to cope. Troops
and their material had to be moved and
at the same time factory and foundry
had to be fed and their finished pro-
ducts moved out. Cars were at pre-
MUM, which resulted in the railroads
being either unable to handle or offering
DELAYED services and embargoes to the
freight to be moved. But war is war,
and business could not stand still and
wait on the railroads. The wise heads
said something must be done; obviously
this was so, but what? The nation had
become so dependent on the railroads
as to forget its rivers, until an emer-
gency which the railroads were unable
to meet happened. In our national hour
of need, we turned to our rivers. And
the wartime operations Of the govern
ment barge service on them has revealed
some startling facts concerning the
practicability of using our natural high
ways for transporting present-day
freight.
Today this federal barge service has
passed beyond the stage of doubtful
results and experimentation and is firm
ly entrenched as a marine enterprise
with accomplishments to its credit ben
citing substantially the shipper and
owner alike. On the Warrior river sec
ton the equipment consists of six tow
boats, one self-propelled barge, fifty
three coal bargers, two tugs in Lake
Borgne canal and the two crane barges
at Mobile for the handling of coal.
Heavy Water Tonnage
A recent report showed that for twelve
months period covered 217,942 tons of
reight was carried of which 1892 per cent
was down stream and 1913 per cent re-
turn, of this tonnage, sOuthbound coal
and steel products comprised 81 per
cent. These are, of course, bulk low
grade tariff commodities and did very
well to get the project beyond the ex-
detrimental stage as it was the intention
of the Inland Waterway division of the
railroad administration that it should

metal worker, Alexander Fisher. Dard
Hunter is a graduate of the "Graphis-
che Lehr und Versuchs Install" in Wen
ma and also of the "Kunstgewerbe
Schulz" Of that city.
After several years abroad Dard
Hunter returned to his native land with
the one idea of producing books in their
entirety by his own labor, without any
outside help whatever. With his own
hands he built a mill which was of
half -timbered construction, patterned
after an ancient cottage of Devonshire,
England. He even grew the straw with
which he matched the roof of this pic
turesque little structure. He equipped
this miniature mill with appliances he
discovered in an antiquated paper mill
in wiltshire, England, which had not
been used since the invention of the
paper machine in. the early nineteenth
century.
Used Water Wheel
With the help of creaky wooden
water wheel which furnished power to
beat the linen and cotton rags to d
pulp Dard Hunter was able to make
about 200 sheets of book paper a day.
Each sheet was moulded separately in
a hand mould just as the paper had been
made for the fifteenth century print
ers. .~-t. - g. - - -
When there was no water to turn
the water wheel, Dard Hunter made
type. For this he used the same meth
dds that had been employed by the first
type founders-cutting the punches by
hand, stamping them into bars of cop
per which formed matrices and then
casting the separated pieces OF leaden1
type from these matrices by the use OF
a hand mould.
The type-making alone occupied a
period of three years and before Dard

Everyone directly or indirectly con-

clamoring throng were, of course, those
connected by blood with the great little

of claimants was Jerome, who land

for both himself and his children. The
emperor was a very amiable and long
suffering man, and stood the insolence
and browbeating of his uncle with ad-
mirable equanimity, until one day when
old Jerome, annoyed by the reluctance
of the emperor to grant him some par
ticularly outrageous request, exclaimed
with angry insolence After all, l
need not be astonished, Louis, for as
you know very well, you've nothing OF

His first zone man" book was pro-
duced in 1916 in an edition of about
200 copies. This edition was published
at S. copy and the books were soon
sold out. 1t must be very gratifying
to Mr.. Hunter to know that these same
books now bring as high as SIS a copy.
Mr.. Hunter published another book in
1917, using the same type and style of
paper, and in 1923 he produced his
famous "Old Paper Making" which
was almost two years in the press. This
is large quarto volume of more than
200 pages and an edition of 175 was
printed. This book, written by Dard
Hunter, is the first volume in which the
methods of the old paper-makers are
explained in a comprehensive manner.
There are many illustrations in black
and white and a great number in color,
all produced in the small "One-man'
print shop.

ing establishment is in Chillicothe, Ohio.

Nation s River Traffic GiUen
Ne,u Impetus By Great War
Warrior Barge Service Is Today Entrenched AS
Marine Enterprise

and water rates to cover a much WIDER
territory, this line must now become
self-supporting.
And Mobile is the river terminal, not
alone of the Tombigee-W arrlor-black
Warrior systems, but also for the Ala
bama -Coosa system. In short, the port
CITY has access to the greatest system
of navigable inland waterways for any
similar area in the world For such IS
fine distinction of the state of Alabama.
This state, too, has faith in its rivers
as freight lanes.
Great Water Feeders
1t can be stated on authority that the
Warrior. Tombigbee and Black Warrior
rivers form but single waterway from
the Mobile river to the two northern
terminals, Cordova on the Mulberry
fork of the Black Warrior, 443.5 miles,
and Birmingport on the Locust fork
of the Black Warrior, 1875 miles, with
n minimum slack water channel depth
of eight feet throughout the entire sys-
fem. and present indications point to
the early canalization, in Marshall
county, between the Tennessee and
Warrior systems, with the time not far
distant when there will be navigation
between the two streams.
But that is not all. The Alabama
Power company has under construction
IN the Coosa a series of hydroelectrlc
plants which when completed will make
the Coosa, from its junction with the
Tallapoosa, open to slack water naviga-
ton as far as Rome, Ca, over 6OO miles
northeast of Mobile.
The Alabama river is open to naviga-
ton MS far up as Montgomery during a
great part of the year, but of late this
has not been taken advantage OF. 1nls
stream could easily be controlled by
locks and be open to navigation the
year sound and at an expense so small
in comparison with the saving in freight
rates as to make the expenditure but
an Investment. However, there is a line
of packets on the Alabama operating
regularly between Mobile and Selma
On the Tombigbee in addition to the
barge service packets also operate be-
tween Mobile and Demopolis. And it has
been proposed to cut a canal between
the Tombigbee and the Tennessee.
Mobile in her relationship to these
navigable inland waterways and vast
territory they do, and could serve, have
such tremendous possibilities for this
port city as to rival her marine lmpor-
lance. That the nation is turning TO its
navigable waterways for relief from the
present rail freight rate situation there
is no doubt. Mobile, therefore, is more
than ordinarily fortunate in her posi-
ton to the rivers of Alabama and her
future as a great river port is assured
