COOPERATE WITH BUREAU LIBRARY 
The Bureau Library is trying to record all articles by staff members 
published outside the Department. You are urged to cooperate in the work 
by sending to the Library, as soon as possible after publication, two cop- 
des of each article which has been published, one for filing in the Bureau 
library and one in the Department Library. Some of the men are already 
doing this. In cases where it has not been done papers have sometimes 
been overlooked, even after the most careful search (for example, short ar- 
ticles in local papers, or in foreign journals received late). Title and 
place of publication as recorded in the letter of authorization from the 
secretary’s Office frequently change, so that it is often very dfficult to 
identify an article when it does appear. If separates are not available, 
notice of title and complete reference will be much appreciated.—M. C.

HOW AUTHORS AND TYPISTS CAN HELP THE EDITOR AND PRINTER AND 
CONSERVE PRINTING FUNDS 
1. Manuscripts for the printer should be the FIRST SHEETS of copy, 
not carbon copies. The first sheets are much plainer than the carbon 
cOpies, and the latter, being usually on thin paper, are hard to handle. 
@. ALL MANUSCRIPT COPY, including footnotes, etc., should be typed 
with the lines double-spaced. It is very difficult to make legible edi- 
torial changes in single-spaced copy, and the printer objects to close-~ 
“Spaced copy. 
3. Have left-hand margin of at least an inch on all folios (pages). 
4. Do not allow paragraphs to run over from one manuscript folio 
(page) to another, but begin each new folio with a new paragraph. ~This 
will save much cutting and pasting at the printing office before the "takes" 
are distributed to different compositors. 
5. Tabular matter should, be On separate sheets, as tables are not 
given to the same compositors as the text matter. 
6. Folios on which tables are typed should be not over 19 inches 
wide, as sheets wider than this can not be conveniently handled by the 
compositor. 
7. Bring the paragraph to a close at the point where the table is 
to be inserted, and continue, with a new paragraph, on A NEW FOLIO. Then 
number all folios consecutively, including tables, in their proper position.
