but in the different suites the designs
have been changed so that there Will be
variety Of artistic effect. g"
No tenant of the new building is
obliged to put in mahogany furniture. The

4 VALUABLE GUIDE
The Card Catalogue at "U'' Library
a Chart Of the World
of Books.
Partial Duplicate Of Great Congress
i sional Library Catalogue
Rapidly Growing.

The university's duplicate of the great
card catalogue Of the congressional libra
ry at Washington is already proving of
invaluablee assistancesto the students and
faculty Of the university. Several thou
sand cards have been received from Wash
ington, have received such additions
as to fit them to the arrangement of the
university, library, and have been ar
ranged for use. - s:Sss :, = ~. ~ 'aSSS
, The portion Of the catalogue thus far
received serves as a partial though inval-
liable chart of the great sea of books
which the student sails in his quest for
knowledge. 1t is SO arranged that all
the student has to know is what partic-
ular subject he wishes to Investigate.
Knowing that he goes to- the card cata-
logue and there finds such titles bearing
on the subject as the university libra
ny contains, and picks those he cares to
read. But that is almost the least of the
information the. catalogue gives. Prop
.erly arranged under each subject Is a
complete list of reference works and other
books bearing upon it. The results of
the explorations Of others in any depart
ment of human knowledge touched upon
by the university library are, therefore,
labeled as with sign boards, so that, If
the student is unable to find the work
he seeks on the shelves of the university
library, he can at least get the name of
the work, and. then, if he cannot find it
in the public library, can resort to the
publisher. The value of such a bibliog-
raphy is inestimable.
The work of charging the catalogue
goes on as new eonsignments of books
are received at the university. Lists of
books are made up as they come in and
are forwarded to Washington. Duplicates
of the cards for the same books in the
congressional library are then returned
to the university with lists of books upon
the same or kindred subject.
The catalogue will doubtless outgrow
the university library. That is, cards for
books not in the university library but
in the congressional library, will be re-
ceived so that practically a complete bib
biography may be had. Such cards could
easily be designated and would be a val
liable addition to the equipment of the
university library.

LIQUOR DEALERS SLOW
In obeying Mayors Order: to Take
Out Retail Licenses.

It seems that Mayor D. P. Jones is
going to have difficulty in enforcing his
orders requiring wholesale liquor dealers,
who sell liquor in small quantities, to take
out retail licenses. Although some have
filed applications with the city clerk, they
have failed to pay the fee of 81 and moth
ing more has been done with the matter.
Employment offices have always been
compelled to pay a license and deposit a
bond, but the Woman's intelligence offices
have escaped the payment Of this fee,
for the reason that former license in
spectors have not see fit to compel pay
ment. The present administration insists
that all parties who come under the law
must pay the fee. '~~
Not only along the lines mentioned will
the license laws be enforced, but they will
be enforced in every instance. Popcorn
men, lunch wagons and sidewalk vendors
will be compelled either to pay license or
to quit business. ...~.

Soon after. the recent opening of school,
Mr. O'Donnell went to the residences of

which the compulsory education law in

That was why eight boys were forced
to quit in bunch. This is the busiest

narily short Of boys, the sudden cutting
down Of the force made the delivery of

A FILTER PLANT DEBATE
The Water Board Discusses VarIou
Plans But Falls to indorse

Filtration was the principal subject
discussed at yesterdays meeting Of the
waterworks committee. The debate was
more earnest than scientific and revealed
that there We're as many ideas on the
subject as there were minds in the meet
Ing. Alderman Lane precipitated the
trouble by moving that the council be
asked to submit to the vote Of the people
a proposition to issue $3.50, 900 in bonds for
filter plant in connection with the water
supply system. The people were critics.
Ing the quality Of water served to them
and he wanted the responsibility for in
action removed from the waterworks
committee to the city council.
various systems We're suggested for
purifying water, such as aeration, 4sedi-
mentation, and the st. Louis siphon sys-
tenn. Alderman Lanes motion received
no second and the matter was dropped.
Permission was given to the city en-
gineer to go to Lockport, N. Y. to confer
with the manufacturers of the Holly
pumps for the Northeast pumping sta
ton as they insist that the work on the
pumps can be greatly expedited if the
city. engineer is on the ground for "a time.

VALUATION STANDS
ProtestAgainst Minneapolis Business
District Assessment Ove1ruled.

Unsuccessful application was made yes
terday to the state board of equalization
by Minneapolis property owners who OBJ
jected to the increased assessment of real
estate between Washington avenue and
Eighth street and .Hennepin avenue and
First avenue The, increase in this dis
trict, the owners pointed out, was nearly
half of the increase for all Minneapolis.
The board replied that it was unable to
grant relief SO long as the delegation de-
sired reduction Of assessment on a par
ticular district and not on the whole city.
According to an informal opinion given by
Assistant Attorney General Danahower
the board is empowered to make general
reductions only. +" 49,. ~.

tested were President F. e. Powers Of the
Powers Mercantile company, and Presi-
dent w. L. Harris of the New England
Furniture and Carpet company. 9
| The board also declined to recede from
the position taken by its banking commit
tee in raising the assessment Of several
state and national banks. The most inn
.portant increase affected the :Scandina-
an-American bank Of ST. Paul, the as
!sessment Of which was raised from S5S, 900
to 100000. But Cashier Jensen; who came
to protest, heard a brief explanation, and
remained to pray that the assessment
would not go higher After this explana-
tion,: proposed objections were not en-
tered by w. E. Lee of Long Prairie and
A. e. Rice of Willmar. The increase for
their banks had been comparatively small
- sFaribault's Protest
A protest against an increased assess
ment was made yesterday by merchants
from Faribault. The boards committee
on goods and merchandise had suggested
an increase of the assessed valuation of
Faribault merchandise, which is listed at
s265, 900 this year, as against 1927, 900 last
year. The; delega tion explained that the
reduced valuation = represented reduced
stocks of goods, brought about by the
policy Of the state board of control in buy

St. Paul's Club Suffers Severe Disappolnt-

The unexpected return of President

disappointed the Roosevelt club of St..
Paul. This body of young republicans,
which has always claimed to the the "or-

Ryan; khaki souvenir menu cards; khaki
decorations; wine, cigars, flowers. music
and carriages-the expense, of which, al
