f i'sfsia--1-- -Q afar' iff V L - W v x THE KANSAS CITY STAR As one passes the large Italian structure of red brick on Grand Avenue and lVlcCee Street, little do they realize what is happening on the inside. This large building is constructed of steel and concrete, faced with tapestry brick, and is the home of The Kansas City Star. Qften as I passed this building I had wished that some time I might have an opportunity to go through it and learn how our daily papers are made. This chance came when the Senior classwork included such a trip in the year's work in physics. Our examinations were completed on April 6 and to restore our normal condition we set out on our outing. The first room we entered in the building was the room provided for the want-ads, advertising and circulation departments. This is known as the business room and occupies a large area of the first floor and offers employment to hundreds of men and women such as typists and switchboard operators. The second floor is given to the editorial, news, society, music and other features. Here news from every part of the country is received, and a special telegraph office has been equipped for the convenience and help of reporting news. There are also private lines to various places in the city, such as the courthouse, fire department, and Convention Hall to avoid delays. One very interesting feature of the third floor is a library for the con- venience of the reporters, and also a sort of filing system of about forty' years of the daily Star. A broadcasting studio, known as WDAF, is something else which 'adds to the interest of the Star and affords many delightful and interesting programs to its listeners. And now as we cross to the other side of the building we come to the real output of the newspaper-the photo engraving and electrotyping depart- ments of the Star-which are the most delicate proccesses of the entire art of printing. These two departments represent more than one-fourth of a million dollars investment in equipment, and here all photographs reproduced in the Star are finished and made ready for the use in the pages of the paper. The type for the plates are laid by means of forty-three linotype machines and passed to the next room where huge cauldrons of molten lead form the plates for the presses from which to print, and after these are used they are cast again into the vats to be used again, thus every edition is printed from new type and plates. After these plates have been formed in the stereotyping room they are trimmed and cooled and are carried to the pressroom by means of endless chains of elevators. Each plate is kept an account of and is numbered. 1 ' The pressroom contains nine octuple presses which turn out about 324,000 5 papers of thirty-two pages in an hour. The paper is fed in the presses from 1 giant rolls of paper and comes out in two streams from the other side of the press, i cut into pages and folded ready to be conveyed to the mailing room, which last is not least in the completion of this great transformation. The news which an hour before had come in from New York and San Francisco, and which I had read on the automatic telegraph recorder was already printed on the evening f paper which on reaching home I picked up from my doorstep. .
