PRESS ROOM Is
BUILT TO MEET
HEAVY DEMANDS
Huge Presses Last Word
In Modern Newspaper
Equipment

The Age Herald,s new presses and
other press room equipment are in
keeping with the other units, making it
one of the best equipped newspaper
plants in the United States.
Situated in the spacious, high-ceil-
inged basement of The Age-Herald
building, these huge presses bear wit
ness to the advancement made in the
printing industry since the first words
were printed by means of wooden blocks
nearly 500 years ago. The main press
is "a feet long, divided into six huge
individual units, which working to-
gether deliver complete 96-page paper.
The per hour. capacity of this double
sextuple press is 1900 papers, which
are delivered, counted, folded and sorted
by specially arranged carrying device
conveying them from the press to the
mailing ROOM
This six-unit system permits the OPP
Grafton of any one or more of the in
dividual units, separately. 1t is, there
fore, possible to turn out two separate
and distinct newspapers at the same
time, both printed on the same press.
In addition to this press for printing
the main editions of the paper, there is
alongside it smaller press for print
ing in colors. The Sunday comic sup
rlement was made possible as an Ameri-
can newspaper institution through the
invention of the color press. The Age
Herald's eight-page section of comics,
which has proved SO popular with Biz
mingham and Alabama readers, is pro-
duced there. The adventures of Andy
Gump and Min. The Man in the Brown
Derby. Happy Hoolican and the other
interesting characters whose presence
is looked forward to in the big Sunday
edition all are presented, to Age-Herad
readers by means of this Goss quad
ripple press. Here also is printed The
Sunday Age Herald magazine section,
]. with illustrations in .colors.
Great care was taken in installing
the press room equipment to eliminate
vibration that would be transmitted to
the entire building. This was accom-
plished by drilling deep down into the
rock foundation on which the sky.
shraper was constructed. Tons of rock
and gravel were removed, leaving a
large hole, which was filled with ce-
ment and mortar. On this founda ton
the presses were set in such position
as to form a sort of island away from
the rest of the basement floor. the re
suit of this arrangement is that there
is no vibration; andsa person on the
first floor is made aware of the fact
that the presses are in operation only
by the slight roar that is always asso-
ciated with printing presses. -
During the day, when these machines
are silent, their size, reaching to with
IN few inches of the ceiling, is impress
sive, reminding one of large trans
atlantic liner at anchor. At night, when
the linotype operators and stereotype
men have completed their tasks and the
stream Of papers pour into the mailing
room. it assumes different. ASPECT.
AS the machines whirl into motion, it
is easy to understand why people call
a printing press one of the greatest ma
chimes devised by men.

BIG THINGS OF LONDON
Even The Tea Rooms Are As Large As
Conventions Halls

You learn that London's population
is about s million and are not amazed,
because all of them seem to be trying
to get on the same bus that you tried
to get on. Nowhere has the ordinary
competition between human beings just
to get somewhere developed self-rliance
in women more remarkably than in Lon
don. The women run after moving
omnibuses and leap aboard them with
arms full of packages, and conductors
never rave to warn them not to hop off
backward, writes Raymond s. Temp
kins in a London letter to The Balti-
more Sun.
Every night it looks as though all 8
million are trying to get to the theatre
at once. 1t is "a mighty, poor play in a
mighty poor playhouse that hasn't its
queue one block long at the box office
window two hours before the curtain
rises, and two or three blocks long an
hour and a half later.
The London idea of an adequate tea
establishment is three floors, each floor
as big as a convention hall, with an
orchestra in each one and crowds at the
doors waiting for empty tables.

Seville is so rich city (and none

delightful women who drink tea with

There are also men, generally old, too,
who drink q cup Of tea or three cups
of tea in ignorance that they fiirt with

There are physicians who insist
that coffee and tea are dangerous.
They have difficult names for the fac.

for the actions these factors produce
on the human system, and also diff
cult names for the parts OF the sys-

opinions. But even on this simple sub
1ect of tea and coffee there are ply
sicians who drink them, and other
things, whether they believe in them

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE

United States senator's sat through
Senator Frank b. Willis sonorous
reading of the farewell address on
Washington's birthday in no perfume
tory spirit. The door was not crowd
ed, but was we'll filled. Perhaps half
the membership of the Senate was
present, about equally divided be-
tween republicans and democrats.
Men were there who have weathered
many similar occasions--Lodge War
rem, Simmons, Overman, Smoot, La
Toilette, Brandegee and Borah, each
of whom has been in the Senate for
more than seventeen years. Copies of
the address were in the hands of all
senators and were followed intently
as Willis read it. The Ohioan raised
his voice to an oratoricaI pitch only
when he came to the passages in
which Washington warned against
"entangling alliances"
Probably never in our history has a
cabinet officer Of the republic been on
the floor of the Senate at more
thrilling moment than the hour
Harry M. Daugherty spent there on
Washington's birthday. The Attorney
General promised Senator Willis a
long time ago that he would listen to
his farewell address performance.
When the session began Daugherty
took up his station in one OF the Dig
armchairs back of the republican side
of the house. Worry seemed thing
he didn't know the meaning of. A
wag in the press gallery SAID IT was

privileges of the floors of Congress.

ing chat Later Senator Davis Elkins

The Typewriter and Society.

The French social oracle has spoken,
and has decreed that no man should
ever send a typewriter letter to a
woman except ON strictly business
matters. M. Andre de Fouqueres,
universally accepted in France as the
highest authority on social etiquette,
thus responds to q recent query:
The most elementary proper feeling
and the simplest courtesy exact that
any such letter be written by hand.
1t is impossible even to imagine a
typed letter being addressed to a
woman. although the contents might
be mere commonplaceS: how much
more inconceivable, then, would a
typed letter be II 1t expressed tender
