GRADERS SEE
PRINTERS WORK
See Type Set, Presses Run,
Folders Fold and Get Their
Names on Slugs

A surprisingly small percentage
of pupils in the local schools have
ever seen the mechanical end of
a printing office, it was discovered
last week when the local publisher
gave talk on printing to the COM
bined eighth grade classes. Upon
invitation extended at that time
the two grades this week visited the
printing office and were shown the
type cases, presses etc.
The many different faces" and
sizes of each face were shown the
kids; how the type is arranged in
the cases; how it is set and then
distributed back into the cases
proved interesting to them all.
Then how the lines are made up
into forms which are then locked
up in the chases ready for the
presses was shown. The manner the
cuts" or pictures are made was il
Illustrated to the group-how the
mats" are cast trimmed and made
ready for printing all held their
attention.
A calendar form was set, made up,
locked up, made ready and put on
the job press while the kids crowd
ed around and took in every detail.
Blotters were cut, printed and dis
tributed to each member of the
class. Then the newspaper press,
which had been left from last week
with the forms still locked up, was
started with the big folder attach
ed and the pupils were shown how
the paper is fed into the press,
printed, gathered and folded ready
for addressing.
In the trip thru the shop the
linotype machine was explained and
the kids were shown how the molten
metal is forced against the little
brass letter molds and the type
slugs, ready to print, were elected
from the machine. Possibly the most
interesting part of the highly
technical description of the machine
was the fact that the operator set
each pupils name and cast it on
the metal slugs similar to that used
in printing the paper.
So much interested were the pu-
pills that the teachers were Of the
opinion that each years class should
be given the opportunity of making
a similar tour and arrangements
were made to have the affair re-
peated in the future.

week. dropped far below the totals for
the two previous weeks as the Office

in new building and modernization
work.
Construction of one-family dwellings
maintained the pace Of recent weeks,
with 40 houses included in the list
of new permits. The large decrease
in valuation of the weeks building was
due chiefly to drop in permits for
apartment construction, as only seven
small structures of this type we're ap-
proved.
The largest permit Of the week was
issued to Eugene H. Phifer. 814 Twen-
tieth street northeast, for the erection
OF six small apartments in the 1900

cost $51, 900. The Stearns Mishkin

The committee has gone on record

which would hear disputes of this ma

alternative measure some sort of

which would be independent of the
established judiciary.
The latter proposal was set forth
in report by Laurence F. Schmecke-

1887 NEW HOMES
PUT AT 425,0)O
Increase of go to SIS Per
Cent Over 1886 Is Maga-
zine Forecast.

That 425,000 new homes may be
built in the United States during
1887, an increase of perhaps so to IS
per cent over 1896, Is the prediction
of William c. Bober, head of the
Johns -Manville statistical research
department, which will appear in the
January statistical issue of American
Builder Magazine, it was announced
today.
American Builder emphasizes that
for the first time in history build
ing estimate shows the entire poten-
tial of residential construction in this
country This was accomplished by
giving proper recognition to building
activity in small towns and rural
areas constituting a large percentage
of the total United States volume
activity which is largely hidden" be-
cause most statistical building re-
ports fail to include it and which.
therefore, previously has been largely
overlooked and underestimated.
Mr.. Bober, a keen analyst Of the
building situation, says in this article:
I'VE probably can take for granted
that 1887 will be a year of continuing
recovery, the home shortage is a fact,
mortgage money exists in q super
abundance for safe prospects at rate
of interest that Is lower than in our
great building boom days Of the past,
rents are rising and so are incomes;
as to building costs-they will work
higher ="
The survey is significant in that the
statistician has not set himself up
as an all-seeing oracle and has
frankly labeled his guesses He
points out that because of q .woeful
lack of statistics in many parts Of
the building field, no estimate can be
entirely accurate and warns that these
figures are preliminary and should be
taken as such. 1t also is important
to note that he has taken into con-
sideratio every conceivable angle
in arriving at the final determination.
In dealing with one totally unpre-
dictable circumstance which may have
bearing on the volume of construc-
tion he says: I'm case fear of infla-
