GAZETTE INSTALLS NEW LINOTYPE Latest Model in Type Setting Machine Now at Work in this Office—Sets Eight Sizes of Type Last Saturday the Mergenthaler Linotype Company installed in this office a Model 14 linotype, which is the latest word in typesetting machines. This step was made necessary by increasing business. Ten years ago The Gazette installed a Model 5 linotype. That was the most perfect machine on the market at that time, but numerous additions and improvements have been made in the last decade. Company as "the hand that keeps the world informed"—on the versatile machine sets eight sizes of type—six point, seven point (the size you are now reading), eight point, ten point, eleven point, fourteen point, twenty-four point and thirty point.

Latest Model in Type Setting Machine Now at Work in this Office—Sets Eight Sizes of Type Last Saturday the Mergenthaler Linotype Company installed in this office a Model 14 linotype, which is the latest word in typesetting machines. This step was made necessary by increasing business. Ten years ago The Gazette installed a Model 5 linotype. That was the most perfect machine on the market at that time, but numerous additions and improvements have been made in the last decade. The linotype was invented by Ottman Mergenthaler, and the first machine was completed in 1886. It was a thing of wonder at that time, but the original Mergenthaler machine bears about as much resemblance to the Model 14 as the original Haynes car does to the palaces on wheels that now traverse our highways. The rapidly increasing circulation of The Gazette, and the demands of our advertisers and others for more varied typography, induced us to install a multiple-magazine linotype for the quick, accurate and pleasing presentation of the news of the day and production of superior job work. Our linotype enables us to set by machine nearly all forms of composition that formerly necessitated tedious work by hand. Our plant is now capable of turning out work with modern type faces in many different sizes, and the change from one type font to another is made by the proverbial twist of the wrist. In the flicker of an eyelash the versatile operator—whose hand is made famous by the Mergenthaler Linotype IMPROVEMENTS IN NEW OLDSMOBILE Following its announced policy of constant improvement without yearly changes in models, Olds Motor Works has during the past year incorporated numerous mechanical revisions in the power plant and chassis of the Oldsmobile Six. These changes have been in line with recent engineering development, and have resulted in even smoother and more powerful engine operation, according to Mr. A. H. Frahm of the Frahm Oldsmobile Company. Adoption of low pressure balloon tires has brought about a change in the steering mechanism so as to insure easy steering. At the same time the steering column has been made adjustable so that the wheel can be set at the correct height for any individual owner. Spark control has been automatic, and with the elimination of the hand spark lever the hand throttle has been removed from under the steering wheel and placed on top and in the center of the steering web. A change that will be much appreciated by automobile owners has brought about the elimination of the need for lubricating the clutch throwout bearing. This has been accomplished by substituting a compressed graphite bearing for the usual annular bearing. THE PACKARD AND THE CAMPING BUG The warm spring days of the few past weeks have routed out the old camping bug from his winter quarters and he is again at large in search of new victims. Favorable weather conditions have called him from his winter nap earlier than usual this year, and being so disturbed, he is in an extremely ugly mood, and will attack anyone who crosses his path without a second's warning. The weather must be just right before this bug begins his yearly innoculations. Take a day of late spring, with a crisp morning, mixed with a lazy summer afternoon, and the bug is on its way, picking no favorites, bliting all whom he chances to encounter. A peculiar thing about this epidemic is that no one seems to take steps to prevent being bitten. In fact, his approach is welcomed by all. After the victim has been bitten, he is done for, and the doctor must be summoned, for he falls under a strange spell. He will sit at his desk, staring out of the window, his mind on anything except work. Everything goes wrong, everyday tasks that usually seem minute loom up like mountains and as warmer days approach and reports of limit catches of trout fall on his ear, he becomes worse, and as a last resort the old family company as "the hand that keeps the world informed"—on the versatile machine sets eight sizes of type—six point, seven point (the size you are now reading), eight point, ten point, eleven point, fourteen point; twenty-four point and thirty point. The accompanying illustration will give our readers some idea of the marvelous mechanism of the linotype, which is a machine on which are assembled matrices (or molds) and lines of type cast—lines such as you are now reading. Besides enabling the operator to set type, the linotype makes it possible for him to produce the rules, dashes and borders which are used in various advertisements of each issue of our publication. For such work as advertisements, newspaper headings, booklets, catalogues and various other kinds of printed matter, our Model 14 linotype enables one operator to set in the same time more type than can ordinarily be produced by five or six men or women doing the work by hand. While for a long time we have received the patronage of a host of readers, advertisers and printing buyers in general, still we look forward to an increased volume of business now that we are so well qualified to render the sort of service most to be desired. The Gazette is also negotiating for a larger and swifter newspaper press, and in a short time we expect to have it set up and working.

Spark control has been automatic, and with the elimination of the hand spark lever the hand throttle has been removed from under the steering wheel and placed on top and in the center of the steering web. A change that will be much appreciated by automobile owners has brought about the elimination of the need for lubricating the clutch throwout bearing. This has been accomplished by substituting a compressed graphite bearing for the usual annular bearing, the graphite bearing being self-lubricating. The wheel base has been lengthened one-half inch, now being 110½ inches. The frame has been further strengthened by increasing the size of the rear cross member which now completely covers and protects the gasoline tank. Changes in the cooling system allows water to enter at both the front and rear of the cylinder block simultaneously, thus insuring the same temperature at all six cylinders under all running conditions. Ample space has been allowed for water circulation around the valve seats and barrels. Other engine changes include a device which guarantees full lubrication as long as any oil remains in the well; added rigidity to the tappet cluster brackets and the lengthening of the connecting rods from 8½ to 9 inches. Pressed-in bushings have been placed at the center and rear camshaft bearings. A hot spot is placed at the head of the riser from the carburetor, and heat may be applied around the riser as desired by the manipulation of a wing valve. Several other minor changes have been incorporated, all tending to increase the smoothness of operation. Body designs remain unchanged, and Duco finish introduced last summer, is continued on all models. News dispatches state that New York was shocked by the election of Hindenburg. First time we knew that anything could shock 'em. Despite all these war clouds hanging over Europe, Uncle Sam is safe for another year now that April has gone by. A peculiar thing about this epidemic is that no one seems to take steps to prevent being bitten. In fact, his approach is welcomed by all. After the victim has been bitten, he is done for, and the doctor must be summoned, for he falls under a strange spell. He will sit at his desk, staring out of the window, his mind on anything except work. Everything goes wrong, everyday tanks that usually seem minute loom up like mountains and as warmer days approach and reports of limit catches of trout fall on his ear, he becomes worse, and as a last resort the old family physician, Doc "Open Road," is called in. His medicine case is filled with strange medicines. Here are bottles of mountain roads, boxes of warm weather and blue skies, fleecy clouds and mountain air. Here and there are phials of trout streams and lakes filled with bass—all to be used in the treatment of the patient. A few weeks of the doctor's medicines and the patient is convalescing nicely. Another few days and he returns to normal and as the treatment ends, he is ready for work again until the next year. Thousands of motorists fall under this strange spell each year, and Old Doc "Open Road" takes care of them all. His treatment is easy to take, his powders are sweet, lhs pills, sugarated and they offer a positive cure for the aliment. All that is needed to reach his offices is a Packard loaded with camping supplies, according to W. C. Cromer, manager of Dale & Company, local Packard distributors. "Years of effort," said Mr. Cromer, "on the part of Packard to leave nothing to chance makes the purchase of a Packard Six or Eight assure not only unlimited comfortable and economical miles of city driving, but makes of each owner a prospective worry-free vacationist, for Packard is a vacation car in more ways than one. It makes the entire year vacation time, free from motor worries. The Empire State Taxi Chamber of Commerce in New York has issued ten commandments for taxi drivers. Don't know what they are, but one of them ought to be "Thou Salt Not Covet Thy Neighbor's Life." Athletic Program of S. C. University Coach Cromwell Expects to Make Showing at Philadelphia A double test is before the University of Southern California track team this month, and Coach Dean Cromwell is laboring strenuously with his men, who he claims are getting better day by day in every way. On May 18 the Southern Pacific branch of the A. A. U. held track competition at the Los Angeles coliseum. On May 30 and 31 the I. C. A. A. A. A. events will be run through on Franklin field, in Philadelphia. To this classic Cromwell will take 12 men, eight of whom are tentatively picked. Positions will be clinched and remaining vacancies filled by the performance of the University of Southern California athletes at the A. A. U. meet. The eight most likely selections are Captain Otto Anderson, Norman Anderson, Bud Houser, Leighton Dye, Alden Ross, Percy Niersbach, Kenneth Grumbles and Howard White. Cromwell banks heavily on Dye to surprise the East with his hurdling. At the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet last year the lanky junior won the first heat of the 120-yard competition, but arrived at only third place in the finals. Cromwell asserts nothing less than the hardest kind of hard luck kept Dye from being a member of the United States Olympic team last June. Since then the hurdler has been developing fast with the result that he broke the Pacific coast record for the 120-yard high hurdle at the Nurmi invitational meet, April 25. The world record for the same event 14 4-10 seconds, held by Earl Thomson, former University of Southern California athlete, according to Cromwell, seems impossible to equal. "Yet the impossible is happening every day," the coach pointed out. "With the start and the encouragement of having broken the Pacific coast record, established by Thomson, Dye may follow through and equal Thomson's world record at Philadelphia." FINALS IN NATIONAL ORATORICAL CONTEST One of the most notable events ever held in Los Angeles will be the national finals in the intercollegiate oratorical contest on the Constitution, which will take place in the Philharmonic auditorium, on the night of June 5. The Better American Federation, in connection with its national educational program, is conducting this contest as a contribution toward a better understanding of our government and a more intelligent citizenship. The value of the undertaking has been attested to thousands of students in the colleges and universities throughout the United States, who have submitted orations on such subjects as the Constitution, Washington and the Constitution, Hamilton, Jefferson, Marshall, Madison, Webster, Lincoln and the Constitution. The evidences of enthusiasm and the spirit of friendly rivalry reaching headquarters are indicative of the importance of this program on the part of both instructors and students. It has revived an intensive study of the Constitution and awakened new interest in public speaking, in addition to increasing the standard of scholarship. The regional finals, to be held at Yale, Columbia, George Washington, Vanderbilt, Washington, Chicago and Stanford universities, will determine the winners who will advance to the final competition in Los Angeles. Elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the visiting contestants are under way: Saturday night, June 6, a formal banquet in honor of the national chairman, the winner of the collegiate contest and the winner of the high school oratorical contest at Washington, May 8, will be given at the Biltmore hotel. The meeting at the Philharmonic, June 5, will be free to the public and, owing to the demands those wishing seats should communicate as soon as possible with the Better American Federation offices, 724 South Spring street, Los Angeles, Calif. THE NEXT SENATE Twenty-five Republican senators will appeal to the people in the November elections in 1926. In at least 12 of the cases sharp primary or election day contests are anticipated. On the other hand the Democratic senators whose seats will bespoke for election are virtually certain of being returned. Under the circumstances the planning of the campaign to protect the Republican seats is an all-important matter. Senator Moses, chairman of the senatorial committee, whose re-election will come in 1926, has already started work, and William M. Butler, chairman of the national committee, has in preparation a plan of general co-operation. The importance of the Republicans holding these seats and thus sustaining the President is understood by all. As a result more than a little work, indeed an extraordinary amount of work, is being done at the present time, in comparison with off years in the past. The one thought in the mind of Chairman Butler is to emphasize first, last and all time; the need of regularity within the party. He is asking for regularity in the party; not for the aggrandisement of the Republican organization as such, but because only by regularity, by holding the Republican voters in compact groups, can real results be achieved and can the President be properly sustained in the program which he has outlined. Necessity is the mother of invention, but luxury is its indulgent father. the hurdler has been developing fast, with the result that he broke the Pacific coast record for the 120-yard high hurdles at the Nurmi invitational meet. April 25. The world record for the same event 14-10 seconds, held by Earl Thomson, former University of Southern California athlete, according to Cromwell, seems impossible to equal. "Yet the impossible is happening every day," the coach pointed out. "With the start and the encouragement of having broken the Pacifco coast record, established by Thomson, Dye may follow through and equal Thomson's world record at Philadelphia. Stranger things have happened." Another mainspring in the machine Cromwell will operate on Franklin field is Bud Houser, who broke a world record at the Nurmi invitational meet by throwing the discus for 156 feet 3¼ inches, thus taking from the head of Jim Duncan of the New York Athletic Club the crown he had worn for 13 years. A week later Hartranft of Stanford bettered Houser's record with a heave of 157 feet 1½ inches. The keen rivalry of these two weight fliers is not to be a feature at Philadelphia, because of Stanford's decision to participate in the Pacific Coast Conference meet at Seattle on May 20, rather than in the I. C. A. A. A. A. meet. In Paris, Houser annexed the Olympic titles for discus throwing and shot putting, being the first man ever to win both these contests at the International struggles. Captain Otto Anderson and Norman Anderson are both Olympic athletes. The former holds excellent records in the high and low hurdles and the broad jump, and the latter won fifth place for the United States in the shot put at Paris, and fourth place for Southern California at the last I. C. A. A. A. A. meet. Ross, high jumper; Niersbach, half miler; Grumbles, low hurdler, and White, pole vaulter, all have consistent records of good performance. Cromwell is confident all four will place in the approaching clash in the East, and hints that one or more of them may flash meteorically across the national athletic sky. Cromwell does not expect the Southern California team to shine so prominently in the A. A. U. meet as it has in recent years. For three seasons the varsity has won first place, while the freshmen ran second. Because of the comparative weakness of the freshman team this year the university is not likely to roll up so many points as formerly. The umpires in the war games now being held at Hawaii decided that the attacking blues had captured Hawaiian flying fields. Wonder if there is any chance, in that kind of game to kick on the umpire's decision? ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS ONE The Packard Six as an Investment MORE and more Packard buyers are taking advantage of the Packard monthly payment plan. They know the improved Packard Six will provide comfort and distinction in travel for years to come—while reflecting their good taste and judgment. Packard Distributers and Dealers welcome the buyer who prefers to purchase his Packard out of income instead of capital. This plan, together with the recent average reduction of $750 in the price of Packard Six enclosed cars, removes the last reason for any man denying himself Packard transportation. DALE & COMPANY C.
