THE RUN NAVY

When the S12,000,0O0 appropriation to fight liquor
smuggling becomes available, there is going to be some
thing doing on Rum Row." off New York harbor, and
on all similar alcoholic roadsteads in other waters
The Coast Guard when supplied with its desired fleet
of 20 desroyers and 800 large motor boats expects to
put into effect brilliant strategic plan.
The rum fleet lies at anchor just outside Of the
12-me line, selling liquor to small craft which dodge
out and in and usually evade the present watchers
That will all be changed Every ship will be put
under surveillance of a Coast Guard vessel and shod-
owed pitilessly day and night The law enforcement
boats will anchor alongside the foreign craft at the
international line and fight it out that line if it
takes all summer Every time booze ship moves
the eagleeyed motor boat will move with it.
The rum ships have a right to anchor there But
if there is any attempt to unload contraband cargo
there will be trouble for somebody. If the motor boats
cannot deal with the situation there will be destroyers
near by to lend hand gun. Boats from shore
attempting get liquor from the ships will be seized
''It is a matter of stopping the illicit trade at its
source" explains the commander Of the Coast Guard
"Whisky that rum ship can't get rid of is of little
value to the owner and going to see that they
don't get rid Of it."
So that's that. Such action has delayed long, to
the scandal of the seaboard and the shame of the
try. 1t will be a national relief to see that part Of
the prohibition law, at least, thoroughly enforced.

and structural methods were employed
in arranging the various equipment to
insure elimination of all possible vibra-

ARRANGED For Greatest
~
Efficiency

The composing room of The Age
Hsrsld's new plant, where scores of
men toll away until early morning to
get your paper to you before breakfast,
is the last word in mechanical perfec-
tion.
In this spacious room, located on the
third floor of the 27-story building, are
the linotype machines, type casters,
matrix casting equipment for the
stereotyping process and various other
machinery to aid in the rapid handling
of type.
Every piece of equipment in the
room is brand new, having been pur-
chased specially for the new plant.
The 20 linotype machines-including
The longest and most perfectly aligned
battery in the south, are a real delight
to persons who are interested in news
paper machinery.
These machines work at full speed
every night to help get the thousands of
lines of type that go into The Age
Herald. All the rest of the big room
fairly huns with activity during work
ing hours. Every man has his specific
work to perform ana everything goes
off like clockwork.
Time is the essence, for newspaper
must get out its editions right on the
dot. Hardness would mean missed
mails and would throw the little army
of carriers out of schedule and possibly
prevent some subscribers from going
through the daily custom of reading
their morning paper as they sip their
coffee.
The composing room is the hub of a
newspaper plant. The local and tele-
graph news, the classified advertise
ments, the display advertisements, the
society and sporting news and every
thing elso goes through the composing
room on its way to the big printing
presses In the basement.
The editorial, news and telegraph
rooms adjoin the composing room-a
principle that is being adopted more and
more generally wherever the ground
area in a newspaper plant permits a
sufficient expanse of floor. BY this
plan copy is handled more speedily and
intelligent cooperation is established
between these important departments.
In the composing room, copy, both
for news and advertising, loses little
time In its trip down the line" 1t
flows from the foreman's desk to the
hnotypes. The copy having been set,
The type is then revised for errors. The
type is then made up into page forms,
and then is transferred to the stereo-
typing department where a matrice of
each page is made.
Since The Age-Herald moved into
its new building, many visitors have
Eiven the composing room the 'once
over" and some of them have stood for
some time with their eyes fixed on the
long line of linotype machines--the big
feature of the room.
Naturally it was in the two great
production departments-the compos-
ing room and the press room, that the
principle of brand new equipment was
expressed in its most striking form.
Orders were issued before the trans
fer into the new building not to move a
single unit Of the old equipment. For
weeks workmen had been installing the
new machinery and equipment and ev-
erything was set in place when the
move was made
