‘Machine Operated By One Man
Sets as Much Type as
~ 7 or 8 Men.
There was installed in the Mar
ietta Journal office last week one of
the most wonderful and interesting
machines ever invented—a Stan
dard Mergenthaler Linotype.
This machine is usually calied a
type-sefting machine, but as a matter
of fact it does not set type. It is a
type foundry in itself and makes type
casting an entire line at a timse.
Hence its mame, “Linotype’,or “line
of type.”

The machine was invented by w
German mamed Mergenthaler wko
came to this eountry and lived in
Baltimore. It has been undergoing
improvements fer the last thirty
years and the machirne in the Jour
nal office is the latest, representing
in itself all the inventlve gemius of
the printing trade since Gutenberg
first made movable type nearly five
nundred years ago.
Hundreds of years ago the type
written page was engraved, each lot
tey separately. Then a type represen
ting each letter was invented by Gut
enberg. These were picked up one
at a time. Now the operator sits
lown at a machine, manipulates a
keyboard like a typewriter aud the
machine casts an entire line at once
and does the work from six to twelve
times as fast as it can be done by
nand.
The machine in the Journa! office
weighs over two thousand pounds
and is driven by an electric motor.
It is diffieult to deseribe it but we
will endeavor to give an idea and we
invite our friends to come in when
convenient and gee it in operation.
There is a keyboard similar to that
of a typewriter, except that it is
about four times as large. The oper
ator touches the keys and little molds
representing the various letters drop
inte place and form a line. That is
done as rapidly as writing on a type
writer, or usually about six times as
fast as the letters could be picked up
separately from a printers case. The
worlds fastest operator has set twelve
times as much as a good printer could
set by hand.
This process of setting the line of
molds is very simple and constitutes
&« small part of the machine's work.
It is after the line of molds is set
that the machines wonderful work is
done. When the line of molds is ready
the operator touches a lever that
starts the wonderful easting machin
ory. From that point nothing what
ever is done by the operator, g 0 far
% casting the lire is concerned., Me
turns baclk to his kevhoard and zoes
ahead metting another line. Meantime
the machine is sutomatically doing
twenty three separete and distinct
things. 1t spaces the words and moves
them owt to make aw even full line,
Then it raises them over agsinst =
wmold the length of o line., Thew it
brings a pot of melted metal to the
opposite side of the lime mold. Then
it sends a plunger into the pot of
metal and drives the metad into the
mold. Thewm it carries the pot back
where it was. Then it moves the mold
containing the cast linme to & differ
ent point. Then it drives the line out
of the mold and trims it te the exact
width and height it should be. Then
it shoves the line out complete and
ready to go in the paper. As 2001 as
the line is cast an arm reaches down
like the fingers of a hand, picks up
the little molds and carries them
back to the channels from which
they started, putting every letter or
figure, or punctuation mark exactly
where it belongs. Meantime the prin
ter has set another line, touches the
lever again and the operation is re
peated.
A friend seeing the machine in op
eration, said: |
. “Phat machine is almost human;
it seems to have sense like a man.”
. The reply was: |
" “It has sense, all the sense, alli
tfig thought that has been put into
t;e invention of printing machinery‘

pleted roads and then give the work
of construction to the people of the
city and county by contract.
In other words to employ the men
who live on the Powder Springs road
or the Roswell or Kennesaw or At
lanta roads to build that road ae
cording to the specifications of the
road expert and when the road is
completed have the road expert pass
on the work before the contracting
party is paid.
In that way all the roads would be
built in the same way and the work
would have been done by the city or
county people and when completed
the public would have the good roads
and the public would also have the
money that was paid for them. How
does that strike you?.
Suppose Cobb County should issue
$500,000 of bonds to build roads.
Suppose they employed a good roads
expert at a reasonable price to super
intend the work and suppose the
work was done by the farmers of
Cobb county and their farm hands at
80 much per mile, with allowances of
course for hill ete, then when the
roads were completed Cobb county
would have $500,000 worth of good
roads and the farmers of Cobb comn
ty would have $500,000 in cash mon
ey and think what they could do
with it.
A half million dollars worh of
good roads that would mean easier
hauling and faster traveling and a
half a million dollars in cash money
to buy new wagons, horses, Dlows,
saw mills and gins that would enable
you to make more and better crops
and then get them to the market
whether the sun was shining or not.
That plan looks good to the Jour
nal and we would like to have a few
expressions from the people of Cobn
county in regard to it.
Write us your opinion. We will
print as many as we can.
TAKING OUT GREASE STAINS
Fresh Ox Gall Will Remave Obnoxious
Discolorations From Carpets—
Washing Muslin Curtains.
Grease stains on carpets can be
taken out with fresh ox gall—get it
from the butcher—and warr water.
Dip a stiff brush in this and eub the
spots vigorously, going over them af
terward with a cloth dipped_in clear
tepid water and wrung out.
An excellent way to remove paper
from the wall when desiring to re
paper a room is to make a rather thin
flour paste and go over the paper
with a large brush or cloth, wetting
every part. After allowing this to
stand for a little while the paper may
be taken off in great strips without
making a bit of dust or dirt.
To wash muslin curtains so that
they will have a sheer look, boil two
quarts of wheat bran in six quarts of
water for half an hour and strain and
mix in the water in which the curtains
are to be washed. Unless the curtains
are yery soiled use no soap, for it both
cleaujes and stiffens, Rinse lightly Ia
clear cold water,
Strawberry Trifle.
Cut a hole in a rice or sponge cake,
leaving a wall all around about two
inches thick. Put a layer of fresh
strawberries sweetened to. taste, make
the removed portion of the cake into
crumbs and screen thejfruit with some
of them. Saturate all with sherry or
warm milk poured slowly over it.
When it is cqgol put a thin layer of
whipped cream, again sprinkle it with
crutsos, over this spread a layer of
fruit, Pile the whole with whipped
cream and decorate it with whole
strawberries,
Ildeal Gruel,
To make gruel successfully great
care must be exercised.
To make patent groats gruel, the
required quantity should be mixed
very smoothly and carefully with cold
water; milk is apt to make it lumpy.
When mixed, it should be added to
equal quantities of boiling milk and
water; boil all gently for 15 or 20 min
utes. When done, three parts fill a
cup, and serve with cold milk or erecam
and castor sugar,
