To the Editor OF The Washington Times:

To the Editor OF The Washington Times:
] was somewhat surprised TO see in yes
terday's issue OF The Times a decidedly
has appeared to me an entirely unjust
criticism OF the Washington library.
Such a diatribe against the alleged
complexities of the card system might
have been expected from some benight-
ed deTiizen OF a remote rural district, -
but Mr.. "Keating," VINO has lived here

same principle as the village Sunday
school library, where the name of the
borrower and that or the book are
jotted down in a scratch pad. and then
checked off when IL is returned.
Too Ignorant for Cards.
The necessity for the card system is
so apparent that ii has become aXio-
matte. Does Mr.. ''Keating" suppose
that the librarians are able 10 remrm-

books are lent, but are merely used in

If he goes 20 cities much smaller than
this, where the percentage of books
lent is comparatively low, the same sys-

propose simpler and more convenient
method of keeping track OF the thou
sand volumes outstanding at all times
II will be adopted. not only here, but
In all large cities of the United States
] am sure that the public library and
its card system needs defense In the
minds of only a very small fraction OF
Washington's reading public. and 1 do
not propose TO go into the merits of the
methods, for they are seIf-evident, but
/ wish 10 take this occasion TO express
my appreciation of the management of
the Washington library.
/ am a stranger in The city and am
not fortunate enough to have my name

piled for a card, 1 made the necessary
deposit. Five minutes after l walked
in the library had been registered, had
the book l desired, and a magazine. The
courtesy shown throughout was marked
and gratifying.
Ii is true there are several desks at
the public library and one is apt TO go

K c BAKING POWDER.
The Best Example of What a Pure
Baking Powder Should Be in DUAL.
itv and Drira


A popular and efficient baking powder re-
quires two thiugs-first, that the food made
with 1t shall be absolutely wholesome ;
second, that it shall be sold at reasonable
price
baking powder, it must be remembered
that baking powder is not an article of diet
any more than compressed yeast. One
would be quite as Objectionable for food as
the other, except that of the two, the balS-
ing powder might be preferable
We do not eat either baking powder or
yeast. What we do eat is the biscuit and
bread raised with them. When placed upon
the ia BILE no yeast remains in the bread and
10 baking powder in the biscuit. Both
ieavening agents have been destroyed in
the aeration and the baking; otherwise, in
stead of light bread and biscuit we should
have a mass of heavy, hard baked dough.
One well-known brand, X G Baking
Powder is sold under a 100000 guarantee
OF its healthfulness and purity There can
be no doubt that a baking powder so guar
anteed is absolutely wholesome and perfect
ly reliable. Even If it did remain in the
food it could do nothing but good.
With regard to price, a baking powder as
efficient and wholesome as is possible to
make can be sold, at a fair profit, for one
cent an ounce. If it costs more the price is
exhorbitant.
Millions of pounds of X Baking Powder,
made by the Jaques Manufacturing Com
pany Of Chicago, have been sold at the
above figure all over the country and X G.
offers the best example at present on the
market OF what a good baking powder
should be, both in respect of quality and
reasonable price.

The First Postage Stamps,

The postage stamp, like the rail-
road and the telephone, is nine
teenth century invention, and only
the Washington Star. Great Britain
was the first country to adopt this
idea of cheap postal communication
Jan. 10, 1910. 1t was about 1885 that
Rowland Hill, an Englishman, turned
his attention to the postal system of
his country. BY degrees and by care
fully watching the system then in
vogue Hill became convinced that
uniform cheap postage in the shape
of an adhesive stamp for prepayment
on mail matter would not only become
popular with the people, but at the
same time materially increase the rev.
enue of Great Britain. The English
postoffice authorities discouraged the
scheme as much as possible. Never
theless, from mere force of public
sentiment, 1t was introduced into par
lament and ratified in 1889 OF course
when the measure became law post
age stamps were a great success and
have since been adopted by all civil
| lied and a number of uncivilized coun-
| tries of the world. Mr.. Hill became
prominently identified with the postal
| system of Great Britain, and in 1860,
| in recognition of his great services,
| Queen Victoria made him K. c. B..
! (knight commander of the BATH. He
passed away in 1882, full of honors, at
a ripe old age. He may be called
! the father Of the postage stamp"
| Great Britain was the first country to
adopt adhesive stamps and compare
! lively cheap postage for its people,
| for 1t was not until 1917 that the
| United States fell in line in this re-
| spect The issuing of stamps for post
| age use is left to the rostmaster-gen-
eral, who from time to time, as the
| exigencies of the case require, has the
| different stamps that he deems requi-
site issued to the public. The printing
| of the postage stamps of this country
was formerly done by private bank
note companies, but now the govern
ment does it's own work. All Of the
stamps are printed by the bureau of
engraving and printing of Washing
ton, under the direction of the treas
ury department This has been done
since 1894. The issuing of the postal
commodities in the postoffice depart
| ment Is IN the hands of the third as
sistant acknowledgement

The frailest chiffOns and gauzes are
selected for some of the most elabOr-
ate bullion embroideries. One gown
in mauVe chiffon is intricately worked
i'll silver. The combination is lovely,
but the gown is so noticeable that it
could only be worn a few times. The
majority of women do not as a rule
care TO be distinguished as the wO-
man with zone gown" even if that
gown be beautiful and becoming one.
They prefer to exhibit some variety in
their costuming and convince the
world and their ueighbors that their
outfit is sufficiently well supplied to
permit Of frequent changes. A touch
of bullion embroidery here and there
on gown, a delicate outlining of silver
or gold cleaning from the filmy chif-
ions, is attractive and artistic, and this
anyone may compass without much par
ticular effort. Gold and silver have
none" may be modified a bit and lit

Winter Windows Abloom.

Among the most easily grown and
satisfactory house plants for winter
are winter-bleeming bulbs. They are
especially suitable for city flats, where
. window garden thrives with most
1ifficulty. Hyacinths are the best, be-
cause they demand only very sim.
pie culture. A fOur-inch pot serves
for one large bulb, a flve-inch pot for
two and a six-inch pot for three. Ro'
man hyacinths are extremely popu-
lar. low in price and easily brought
to flower on Christmas, if potted in
October. A succession, planted from
that time on, produces a succession
of flowers throughout the winter
Three or four bulbs may be planted
in a siN-inch pot, or a dozen or more
IN bulb pan or basket. Any good
garden soil, mixed with one-fourth of
coarse sand, will grow any sort Of
hyacinths. Use no manure, as it rOts
the bulb. Put an inch of broken char
coal, pottery or pebbles in the bottom
of the pot for drainage.

There was a vein of shrewd COM

of such an attempt, if it was as she
said, struck her as forcibly.

her for moment, as If really seeking
an opportunity to fly from her per-
plexities. Mrs. Fry strove to comfort
her,
