300th Anniversary
of Printing
This year, in various parts of
country and in various manners,
SOOth anniversary of the printing
dustry is being celebrated. Like
er events of the sort, it will give
among a certain group to the
criticism that anniversaries and
cial celebrations are a waste of
and a weariness of the flesh.
There is one important point
these nay-sayers miss in
like the present anniversary of
ing. It is the fact that these
offer an excellent opportunity to
mind ourselves of humanity’s
of constructive accomplishment.
in this country at this particular
we ought to pay particularly
tion to these matters, in which
United States stands pre-eminent.
Let’s look at the printing
in America for a moment. Its
typical of so many American
tries large and small which
opened up new jobs, new
and lower cost products through
creased use of machinery, is
of celebration.
Back in 1880, before the
■use of modern machinery in the
try, there were 58,506 employees
printing, according to the census.
188G the linotype machine was
ed. It was followed by a
of other improvements which cut
costs of printing and permitted
wider use, and as a result it is
mated that today there are more
450,000 employees in the
with a payroll of more than
quarters of a billion dollars. *
That record of jobs, payrolls, and
more enjoyable living for Americans
strikes us as being worth an anniver¬
sary celebration any time!
‘ Peace , Not War
When the stern tests of logic are
applied to it, war is quickly
of even the few virtues it is sometimes
supposed to possess. It has occasion¬
ally been thought, for instance, that
war stimulates invention and research.
But a rapid glance at the records
shows that this is far from being the
case.
In 1916 the United States Patent
Office received 7.1,033 applications for
patents. In 1917, the first year of the
war, applications dropped to 70,373,
and in 1918, to 59,615. Immediately
after the war there was a spurt in
science and invention and the
Office received 80,400 applications.
A period of rapid expansion in re¬
search and invention was interrupted
by the Spanish-American war,
patent applications fell from
48 thousand in 1897 to less than 36
thousand in 1898. There was a
ilar decline in the emergence of
ideas during the Civil War.

plications rose to pre-war heights.
The same story is told by the

cations for patents. By 1917, the

F. I). R. Proclaims
Armistice Day.
Urges Reflection
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. —Pro¬
claiming November 11 as Armistice
Day, President Roosevelt asserted to¬
day that it was appropriate for the
American people to reflect upon the
hour “when the voices of war were
silencer! and to look forward even now
to a time when a just and enduring
peace shall be established among all
the peoples of the earth.”
The proclamation, issued at a time
when Europe again is engaged in con
flict, commented on the “tragic sit¬
uation in which the world finds itself
today, with the destructive forces of
war once again unleashed.”
The President acted in accordance
with an act of congress, passed in
1926, requesting the chief executive
to issue an armistice proclamation.
An act in 1938 provided that each
November 11 shall be dedicated to
the cause of world peace,” and made a
legal public holiday.
The proclamation directed that the
United States flag be displayed on all
government buildings November 11
and the President invited the people
of the nation “to observe the day in
.schools antj ydjurches, or other suit¬
able places, with appropriate cere
monies.” ,
The original Armistice Day act of
1926 proposed appropriate ceremonies
“expressive of our gratitude for peace
our desire for the continuance of
relations with all other peo
machines also must pass in¬
spection.
Commissioner Sullivan listed steps
in obtaining licenses for new drivers
as follows: (1) fill out application
blamk for learner-perm.it, chauffeur or
operator license; (2> inspection of ve¬
hicle which must have two good head¬
lights, tail light, horn, sound tires and
safe steering gear, as provided by
la.w; (3) eye test by Snellen eye
(4) road rules test which appli¬
can learn in advance by studying
