ten, he instructs the eolor-mixer to try out six specified tones After the striking, he decides the red is too bright, the blue will be altered to green, etc. Then a second striking is made. A further alteration is made, and so there may be twelve strikings before the artist is satis- fled. As each striking is made. a record of each color used is kept until the final choice is made. This record serves for all the "runnings" of that number
 There is an enormous difference in the rate of production between block (hand) and machine printing. The machines are arranged to take a reel of over four miles of plain paper in a continuous length. Of the cheaper classes of paper, one ma chine will print 5000 rolls per day; that is, thirty-four miles of paper.
 The machine consists of a large drum, around which the rollers are arranged. During one complete rev olution of the drum the paper re- oeives the impression from the roll CTS. which are supplied with color from an endless belt of felt, revol- wing in contact with another roller, partly immersed in color.
 When the design is complete, the paper passes over the top of the drum. With the colors still wet. it is automatically picked up by cross sticks and carried in hanging folds on moving chain through the dry chamber. Here heated air absorbs all the moisture, and it passes on to be rolled into pieces and numbered.
 The colors for surface printing are mixed with gum or glue. china Hay, etc, and are opaque Tn sani- taIies, the colors are almost trans parent. and are mixed with resin and turpentine. Sanitaries are print ed in oil-eolor; the rollers used are nf copper. The engraver renroduees the design with his punches.

AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY

Wrangell merchants have recently effected a substantial saving in light and fuel expense by closing stores at five instead of six o'clock. They should make a further saving and open an hour later in the morning.
 Seldom will customers be incon- venienced during the next four months if stores do not open until nine o'clock During the summer months and particularly in the fish ing season, the stores are open for long hours Trade is normally quiet through the dark winter days and it now seems unlikely that anything will happen this winter to disturb our usual quiet. The merchants should declare for a shorter business day. It would give them an extra hour at home in the morning, save an hours light and fuel expense and they will have practically the same volume of business as they now have in the nine-hour day.

MRS. KELLAND'S HOSE

Clarence Buddington Kelland, who writes short stories and long ones with spritely dialogue and quick witted, competent, brilliant hero ines, gives his wife s7.000 a year to spend on dress. Mrs. Kelland IS unable to cover her needs on that sum, it seems. She bought of Hattie Carnegie, Inc, hose at $6.50 a pair, a Panama hat for $40. cloth coat for s42O, dresses for $250 and $225, perfumes at s25, and so on. It ran up a bill of s9,313, and Mir. Kel- land says he isn't going to pay it.
 Mrs. Kelland says she told the house not to send the bill to her husband and that she thought she could pay it out of her allowance, but hadn't been able to do it. The firm argues that clothing is a ne- cessity and that a husband is liable for necessities sold to his wife. So there is a merry lawsuit about s650 hose and so on necessities.
 The court says It is triable is sue whether a man of MT. Hollands financial standing is bound to sup ply $6.5O for pair of hose for his wife. Edith Johnson of the Daily Ok1ahoman says it is all Kelland s fault, that he ought to teach his wife to be more economical, and that there is nothing for him to do but pay it. Of course the law will have to draw the line somewhere else Mrs Kelland may go down to the dock some fine day and buy the Leviathan or the United States Navy. But Kelland ought to be get ting plots for all sorts of fiction out of the fact that overwhelms him now. All his characters are con- cerned with financial legerdermaiD in which victory comes out of seem- ingiy sure bankruptcy. Maybe Mrs.

WOMEN DRIVERS SAFER

For years women have been sub jected to gibes because of their sup posed inferiority as automobile driv- CTS. But a recent survey by na- tional board of casualty under writers reveals that women drivers figure in far less accidents than men, numbers considered. Estimates from various sources, including gov ernment statistics, indicate that women constitute approximately one fourth of the total number of driv- CTS in the country. Yet. while wom- en represent 25 per cent of the number of drivers, last year they were involved in only 7.63 per cent of the accidents recorded.
 In the observance of traffic reg ulations, women made an even more impressive record. While full statis- tics are not available, in a dozen large cities only 2.53 per cent of those charged with violations of traffic rules were women. While Il may be argued that traffic officers are more lenient toward women violators. an inquiry addressed to a large number of these officers brought responses decidedly favor able to the ladies.
 Of the replies received, 7S per cent of the officers considered wom- CT more careful drivers than men; II per cent believed women equally careful, and only II per cent thought women less careful.
 So, in the face of the record, it appears that women are much safer drivers than, men, after all, when they are actually at the wheel. How safe they may be as back seat driy- CTS is an entirely different matter.

Another acute situation faces the American government: scarcity of spruce for airplane building. One hundred and fifty million feet is needed at home at once; ally con tracts for September called for G9,- 900. .000 feet, and the spruce is not ready. The logs are not being put in the water and the coming of winter diminishes the chances for increased output Strikes, ineffi tent labor, and the peculiar diffieu ties of obtaining spruce are forcing an issue. Because the Northwest pro duees almost all of the country s spruce the problem hinges here.
 The necessity of airplanes to win the war is generally conceded and the United States government must supply the spruce.
 Resolutions urging that the gov ernment not only refrain from drafting woodsmen and mill labor CTS into the army, but that labor be enlisted from other parts of the country for getting out spruce in the Northwest were voted by the Western Forestry and Conservation association which met in Seattle two weeks ago Men are even now being recruited from American lake 10 help get out spruce.
 Only about fifteen per cent of a log can be used for airplane timber The trees do not grow in exclusive stands, and logging out becomes moe difficult and more expensive than with other timber.
 Fir is being tried out as a sub sttute, but this supply is also limited
