When on November 11 the world
halts to observe ttm fourth anniver
sary of Armistice Day, and the Ameri
can Ited Crosa luininur-ates its Annual
Roll Call for the enrollment of the
1923 membership, the people of the
United States may well pause to think
of the unparalleled contribution to the
cause ef pcace innde by our Army and
Navy In the World War. The flory of
It la a common tradition; but the
wounds of war remain. They are hot
healed In a day, In a year, nor in four
years. And on Armistice Day there
will bo under treatment In Government
hospitals over 25,000 ex-service men,
brokeif physically by wounds, expo
sure, nervous strain and exhaustion
Incident to their service in the war.
The Government without stint Is un
dertaking to furnish these disabled
men with the compensation and med
ical care to which they are entitled,
yet their especial care Is a duty of the
Red Cross. Why? Hecause the Gov
ernment cannot handle the cases of
ex-service men Individually; It must
handle these men In bulk under a
standardized poller. The Government
has neither the authority, the funds
or the equipment for working out the
problem of the individual man. There
is where the American Red Cross
finds its greatest field for service, aid
ing through its very active Chapters
in reaching the disabled man with im
mediate practical help, assisting his
family while his claim Is emerging from
the process of adjustment, furnishing
articles of comfort, funds to tide over
the difficult periods, the friendly touch
of personal encouragement, helpful
recreation aud worry-dispelling ahnise
rnent. It is the warm hand of sym
pathy and understanding which the
American Red Cross extends to the
majority of these disabled ex-service
men, some of them friendless in thrt
whirl of life, thousands of them with
wives and children dependent upon
them, and hundreds of them frequent
ly helpless In the face of grim ne*
cesslty.
2,079 Chapters Aiding Veterans
In this work, upon whose ac.com*
pllshment the American Red Cross It
urging a record-breaking enrollment in
the Roll Call which opens on Armis
tice Day and closes with Thanksgiv
ing Day, 2.079 CThapters in all parts of
the country are engaged. This is 35C
more than were working for ex-service
men last year when approximately
$10,000,000 was expended by the-Na
tional Organization and the Chapters
working together In harmonious unity.
For the current fiscal year National
Headquarters appropriated #3,030,*
(>02.00, an increase of fj3G5.ftOO.8-l over
the amount spent for the work among
ex-service men In the year ended June
HO last. Since It Is estimated that the
Chapters will expend close to $1,000,
0<H) from their own funds, the frrand
total of Red Cross expenditure!) for
this single work is expected again tc
reach the $10,^00,000 mark by June 30
1923.
Hospital and District Office Work
During the flsrnl year a total of over
1,000 persons, paid and volunteer, has
been engaged in Red Cross duty In
hospitals or district offices of the U. S.
Veterans' Rureau. An average of 8,000
new cases requires definite and par
ticular attention each month. The de
mand for Chapter-made articles for
hospital patients is constant.
During last year Service (Malms and
Information Service at National Head
quarters handled 37,200 compensation
and Insurance claims, 24,560 allotment
nnd allowance cases, and fl.700 miscel
laneous claims. Since February. 1919,
it has disposed of 64,171 allotment
checks payable to veterans which tha
lost Office Department reported unde
II verable.
The Chapter Is the unit of the Red
Cross organization which Is accessible
to every disabled veteran or his fam
ily Ret ween July 1. 1921, nnd June 30,
1922. the Chapters had reported i,G6ft,?

The editor* of those early day*
wielded a mean pen, They we# not
afraid to vail a spad? ft ?pade. Their
attacks wore venomous ami their
shafts were intended to hurt?and
they did hurt, and many a small-town
editor has had to defend his editorial
or IiIh news with bin flats.
In oue of these small towns an edi
tor used an item about one of th?
prominent citizens. No,.names were
mentioned, but every one ^ new to
whom it referred. The following
day, the man, a physician, acconijfil
led toy two friends, entered the edito
rial sanctum. Thoy greeted the edi
tor very friendly but formally and
gradually surrounded him.! v?
Thoy laid him on a table and were
preparing to pummel him in decorous
and scientific stylo when hardholled
compositors intervened in behalf of
their ehlef. The intruders left the of
fioe quicker than they entered.
Compositors who set the tyi>? In
those early days were a happy, Joy
ous, contented lot, from the devil to
the oldest vet. The dictionary defines
the devil as "a printer's apprentice."
The origin is Indefinite but the name
is appropriate.
"I hadn't been in a comi?osing room
half an hour," said an old
printer reminiscentlj'. the oth
er day, "when one of the journeymen
asked the workman next to him if he
had a type stretcher. lie hddn't, of
course, and did not know where the
one that l>elonged to the plant was. I.
was told to go over to our competitor
and borrow one. I hustled out# glad
of the opportunity. The foreman of ?
the other shop knitted his brow for
a moment as though in deep thought .
and then said that ho believed he
could let me have one if I'd promise;
?to return it. lie directed me to an;
Iron bar which must have weighed!
close to a hundred pounds and I ear-j
rled that thing three blocks to our|
plant. When 1 walked Into the com-1
posing room well, you can Imagine j
the way those hardholled printers,

"On another occasion a devil was
sent put for some italic spaces. He
went from one printshop to another,
there Were several small ones In the
town, and finally was given a Mg
package. When he returned he opened
it. It was ashes.
"Type lice was a great gag to work
on those not familiar with a compos
ing room. This went for old and
young aliko and it never failed to
rouse the anger of the victim.
"In those days we used to wash off
the type with lye water.
"The uninitiated would be asked to,
look between type In the form where!
there was some of this water anil to!
watch closely and he would see the;

Instant, the Joker tvonld show tin4

ceive the dirty water lu his face. Of
course, the printer Would see that
there was not enough lye to hurt ttio
victim.''
Put the modern printer i<? the com
posing room of 30 years ago, yes, less
thun 80 years ago, and ho would he
all hut .helpless.
Then all type was set by hand, /To*
day, more than Y nine-tent lis of the
newspaper is set hy machine.
In those days. If a printer could set
a column and a half of news matter
hy hand, he was eons idem! an expert.
Today, if an operator, setting
straight news matter on a small-town
dally, doesn't get from 1- to 15 col
umns of tyi?e out of ills machine, he
Is not classed as more than fair. If
he turns out 20 columns, he's a wiz
ard. Hut there are quite a few wiz
ards.
Sixty Vears ago. the small-town
daily or weekly might carry from
three to five columns of editorial,
news and features.
Fifty years ago. some of the adver
tisements would stand for months
without a change. Today most of
the advertisements are changed daily.
'Then the pajKT would he printed, by
a press oj>erated by.hand, in some
cases on one side only. It would take
two hours to print a few hundred.
Today, the modern newspaper in
the small town, with its ui>-to-date
sterotyping outfit, and its electrically
driven presses will print 10,000 forty
page papers in half an hour and the;
will he distributed to every subscriber
within the city limits in 40 minutes.
