STANTON The "Newspaper of the Future" came to our desk recent ly. It was a publication from an eastern city and was de ', signed to give editors and publishers a demonstration of the probable appearance of tomorrow's newspaper. Each page was printed in three colors. Advertisements were in colors similar to those appearing in slick paper magazines. News photographs appeared in full color. Color in newspapers is only one of the many advances being made in editing and publishing processes. Numerous inventions, particularly in the field of electronics, promise many changes in the industry. Instead of transmitting news by electrically operated typewriters as at present, it will not be far in the future when whole pages of copy will be sent over the wire through use of the television principle. Already there has been developed an instrument which a newspaper reader obtains on lease. It is installed in his home and every few minutes it turns out a photograph of a newspaper page. Finishing touches are being put on a machine which auto matically makes an engraved cut from a photograph. At present the engraving process is quite complicated. A camera reproduces a photograph placed in the copy board under brilliant lights. A screen between the photograph and the negative causes dots to appear on the negative, varying in density according to the light and dark shades of the photograph. A zinc plate is covered with a photographic enamel and the picture is then transferred from the nega tive to the zinc. Following chemical and heat treatment, the zinc is placed in an acid bath. Where dots are large they re sist the acid, but metal is removed from between the small dots, thus reproducing the light and dark of the photograph when the line plate is used in printing. If you will examine a picture in your newspaper under a strong magnifying glass you will see that it is composed of dots of varying size giving the various color tones of the photograph. This new electric machine "scans" the protograph with an electric eye. The fluctuation of current controls a stylus which burns a sjiecial plastic used in place of the zinc plate. The high and loV spots are produced by the burning action of the stylus. Within a few minutes a photograph can be automatically made into an engraved cut in this new ma chine which promises to eliminate much of the work now done in an engraving plant. Improvement of a new device to substitute for typeset ting has been stimulated by strikes in the newspaper in dustry. This is a typewriter which produces an even mar gin on both sides as is done with type. Although the prin ciple of tiie machine has been under study for several years, strike influence has speeded development until now the machine has been perfected to furnish various faces compar ing favorably with type. Material is set in columns as it appears in a paper. These columns then are pasted on a master sheet. Photographs are pasted in position. Advertising copy may be drawn by artists and pasted into the proper place. Then the master page is sent to the engraving department. There it is put through the engraving process and a stereotype mat is made from the zinc plate instead of from type. Chicago papers used this process to maintain publication during a strike of printers. Some papers claim they will never return to the old process. The teletypeselter is another interesting machine rapidly, growing in general use. Each typesetting machine normally requires an operator. Put there is now on the market an automatic operator. A specially constructed typewriter punches holes in a nar row paper tape. Each combination of holes controls some cperation of the typesetting machine. Thus it becomes pos sible for a battery of these special typewriters to turn out a large amount of tape as they copy the news items and other material to appear in the newspaper, the tape then being fed into the tiletypesetters which produce type slugs. Thus one operator can produce sufficient tape to keep three or more telctypesetters in operation. The printing and publishing industry Is developing these new processes for the purjose of improving its service to the public. It is a complicated task to gather, edit and print news and information. Much costly machinery and equip ment are required, and every operation necessitates highly skilled workers. But vast strides have been made in recent years in improved facilities for gathering and transmitting news material, general information and editorial opinion, while inventive genius is constantly at work on improved mechanical processes. Many startling inventions are still in the experimental stage. There is a possibility that the technical production of a newspaper may be completely altered from the present methods within a few years. The form and appearance of a newspaper may undergo complete transformation. Hut every change will be made for the purpose of giving the reading public a more complete and interesting paper. fiHf I SEE MY" j GUYS LIKE HIM GIT ) ( YES, HE GOT UP -i OLD LATHE J ( UNDER MY SKIM v VIM SHOP SOCIETY IS STILL I THEY HAD TO GO BY BEING OUT OF 1 - A.

Martin I Mr. Bitwuns looked over his newspaper at Mrs. Bitwuns who was sitting on the hearthrug, feeding the contents of big wastebasket to the fire. "This editorial says It's Newapaper Week." "I don't know how we'd man age without newspapers," Mrs. Bitwuns said, bending hastily for ward to peer at an item on a page Just beginning to blaze. "I must have missed that'Martha soaks hers and rolls them, dries them and ties them with a string." "What are you talking about?" It always annoyed Mr. B when he failed to keep up with his wife's 'jump-around way of carrying on a conversation. 'Ties what?" "Newspapers. Aren't we talking about Newspaper Week? She makes 'briquettes' out of them for her fireplace. Think I'll try some." "Got enough hoarded around here without saving old news papers." Mr. B was emphatic. "By the looks of our mailbox It's always Newspaper Week with us. Magazine Week, too. Not to men tion the advertising addressed to Mr. Boxholdcr." He looked anx iously at the flaring flames. "You'll set fire to the chimney again. If you aren't careful." "Why Algernon Bitwuns, I like that. Again! Who set fire to it before?" Mr. B hastily put forth his de fense. "I was trying to get the place warm in a hurry for you. You're always freezing. I can't see why women don't wear more clothes." "Oh, Algie, If we did you'd soon see why we don't." Mrs. B laugh ed at him. "What kind of a crack Is that?" Mr. B wanted to know. "No crack, darling. Just a state ment of fact." She glanced at a club page before tossing It on to the blaze. "I remember when I was publicity chairman how fussy the club editor was about having items, even little ones that wouldn't take but an inch or so of space, right thrre by a cer tain deadline". Once I went In, and I guess she didn't see me she was telling her assistant how she loved to have publicity chair men come barging In at the last gasp with an item that Just had to go In." "Yours on time that day?" "Oh my yes, she said there was all of an hour and a half to get it In somewhere though It was like taking a brick out of a wall when you had It built and poking another brick In." Mr. Bitwuns laughed, and Mrs. B asked why? "Women." said Mr. - shaking his head. "Just women. In the Day's News (Continued rroiq fage one) see It, and so it Isn't there, a a YISHINSKY went further. He repeated his contention (first made the day before) that THERE IS NO BLOCKADE OF BERLIN. This Is the point: Russia SAYS there Is no block ade of Berlin, and so there IS no blockade of Berlin. a a a . A LITTLE while back there was quite a flurry In the papers when Russia announced that all this stuff about heredity and en vironment and such is BOSH. It is bosh, according to the Russian viewpoint, BECAUSE IT GOES CONTRARY TO THE MARXIST LINE. That makes it heresy. . a a a IT Los Angeles the other day, H Children's Home Yitamin C Diets Aboye Averages Diets provided boys and girls at the W.C.T.U. Childrens Farm Home near Corvallls proved to be higher in ascorbic acid (vita min C) than those eaten by the average of children of compara ble ages in rural sections of Ore gon, according to results just published by the O. S. C. experi ment station of a study made there. The study, conducted by nutri tionists of the staff in home eco nomics, was not primarily to iudee the difls as such but to see whether the dallv allowance as recommended by the National Research council is adequate. The detailed findings are high ly technical and of interest prin cipally to other research work ers, tnougn some oi tne conclus ions are considered of general in terest, tllect ot various diets were measured by a standard method with the boys and girls ranging in ages from 12 to 14 years. The authors of the report con clude that during the strain of adolescent growth it would be advisable to maintain all children near the saturation point as to vitamin C, which is done by the daily allowance recommended. t oods trom wnicn the larm home children obtained signifi cant amounts of this vitamin were potatoes, cabbage, green salads, fruit juice mixtures, cook ed or raw tomatoes, raw turnip strips, and raw celery. Hieh sources served less frequently are all kinds of citrus fruits and Juices and bananas. the average intake of ascorbic acid at both the Children's Farm Home and as found in a previous study of rural children in Ore gon was somewhat below the lev el considered adequate for ado lescents, though there was con siderable variation within in the groups partly caused by individual choice of foods.

He added: "A Russian scientist who makes, a mistake is all through. Thus he doesn't DARE to push research into unknown paths." (He might stumble onto some- damentals of biological under standing or a fitting sympathy for the quarry.

To pass this test, and yet to be a big game hunter, is an exacting achievement, but we think the author has passed it.
