magic stones seem to change the luck of childless couples a camera sets type i fifty years ago the liaotype mach- tokonto dr a ko da lne bet ana cast the first of type foe recently told the

fortunes of childless scores of attempts had been made to couples continue in demand and set ordinary foundry type letters nie- we have a man in our back yard chanlcally not one was good enough whose chief job is breaking up stones to interest practical printers then to keep a box full of hopeful visitors requests tor the stones have come from all parts of the world its funny remarked the physician but a umber of childless couples who came up last year ac tually came back this year with children the doctor said the quintuplets arent such a gamble in their early life if a firm advertised that they ate a certain food and the ba bies had died rival firms could have said look at what happens to babies that eat so and sos food but now theyre old enough for any mishap to be blamed on other things than food the little callander physician let it be known the quintuplet have had a spanking although ive had my doubts about procedure sometimes ive seen marie put back to bed

from the canadian farm loan board was announced by fin ance minister crerar recently in the reduction of the interest rate to five per cent those who had borrowed prior to october 12 1931 on first mortgage have been paying at the rate of 6m per cent and those bor rowing between october 12 1934 and may 22 1935 paid at the rate of 5m per cent effective as from july 31 193g all first mortgage loans will bear the rate of five per cent which has been in effect on loans negotiated since may 22 1935 finance minister dunning has completed arrangements for refin ancing at a reduced cost to the board of outstanding bonds issued by the board previous to 1935 and held by the dominion government this refinancing was completed on july 1 enabling the government to pass the saving along to the borrow ers who continued to pay interest at the high rates in effect in the earlier years of the boards operations approximately 10000000 in out standing loans will be affected by the interest reduction some of them go ing back to the start of the boards operations in 1929 primarily the farm loan board operated only in those provinces in which the provincial government en acted supplementary legislation on tario saskatchewan and prince ed ward island did not come under the act during the session of 1935 the act was amended in such a manner that its benefits were thrown open to farmers in every province regardless of provincial statute and the amount available for lending purposes was increased from 20000000 to 90- 000000 the federal government look over the entire responsibility from the provinces the total amount of loans now outstanding is approxi mately 20000000 reports ie will tour canada after his coronation london rumors in court cir cles have it that the

official sources in london and ottawa raid they had no knowledge of reported plans for a visit to can ada and the united states by his majchy came ottmar mergenthaler with the bold idea ot a machine which would make its own type and cast it not let ter by letter but line by line faster and cheaper composition better print ing a new dress or type tor each job were the immediate gains in a mcrgethalcr linotype machine the compositor operates r keyboard much like that ot a typewriter as ho plays upon the keys brass matrices fall out of a magazine and arrange themselves into lines ot words whlcn are automatically justified each ma trix carries a sunken letter when a lino of matrices is complete molten lead is mechanically forced against it thus a whole line ot raised letters is east the matrices are then lifted automatically to ihe lop oi the mach ine sorted out mechanically and re turned to their proper channels in the magazine to be used over again in the old days a newspaper or a book was printed directly from type today fast printing of large editions especially of newspapers and maga zines demands additional steps cop per electrotypes are made from the cast type and from these magazines aro printed in newspaper offices the page of type locked together in a chase is pressed into thick pulpy pa per to form a mat in which the let ters are sunk molten lead is poured upon the mat by machine to form a stereotype and it is from stereotype plates that newspapers are printed on fast web presses in addition to this relief metbod ot printing there aie also the planogra- phic and intaglio processes in the planosrapliic process both printing and nonprinting surfaces are on the same plane but the type mat ter is photographed and then fixed as a fatty image which repels water but holds ink in the intaglio the type matter is photographed on and etched below in ihe plate surface flood the plate with n then wipe it clean and ink re mains in the sunken letter press a paper against the plate and the ink in the recesses is literally sucked out and the result is readable print on paper evidently much time and money could be saved if the steps between typsetting and printing could be re duced in number so at least a score of inventors have turned to photogra phy suppose printed letters were as sembled into lines of words ail in the black and white suppose that a pho tograph were made of these lines suppose that a photolithograph or photoengraving on zinc or copper were made from this we would have a printing plate one that could be el- eetrotyped if need be assuming that the original copy has been correct ed for typographical and other eirors there would lie no need of piocif- icading the latest and to the commentator the simplest and most promising ot all these efforts to do away with the type easting is that of samuel i s friedman and dr otto l bloom if these two inventors seem to be more practical than their predecessors it is because they have adapted the mergenthaler machine to make the necessary photographs look at the friedmanbloom ma chine as it is disclosed in a recently granted patent and you see the famil iar keyboard the familiar magazine in which the matrices are contained and the familiar matrices themselves but the matrices carry not the usual engraved letter but a letter in black and white through the operation of the key board in the usm1 way a lino ot ma trices is assembled and justified in stead of a lead easting device there is a camera tho assembled letters are photographed line by line on a length of film by moving the camera back ward or forward the typo can bo re duced or enlarged to any reasonable size several hundred lines can be set up on a continuous roll of film by inter posing special screening various let ter designs and backgrounds can also ho incorporated something now im possible with any type or linecasting machine from the final roll of film a photolithograph or

relegated to the scrapheap has occurred in the shoe industry within the past two years according to miss ruth h kerr fashion adviser miss kerr an authority on style trends says this revolution is due to the discovery that shoes designed specifically to compli ment the natural contours of the hu man foot contribute materially to the general smartness of a womans appearance in place of the exaggerated nar row toe of a few years ago and the still more fantastic needle to of the 90s we now have nature lasts shoe sculptors have found the proportion of the human foot is in the direct relation to the proportion of the in dividual measurements of the body the problem therefore has been to bring the individual foot be it long or short wide or narrow into con formity with current
