sons in Wilmington who are unaware that
one Of the principal functions Of the lib
raTy Is to furnish them with information,
. answer their questions, and to look
through reference books for out-oi-the-
way information. The assistants at the
library are always glad TO answer ques-
tons Of inquirers whether these inquiries
are made in person OF over the telephone.
Questions requiring but a minute OF 90
70 look up will be at once answered over
The telephone; questions requiring more
extended research will be carefully looked
Up and the information held until called
iioor, II the person desiring it notifies the
Library over the telephone.
In order 10 give some idea of the great
DIVERSITY Of subjects on which the library
nas furnished information, the following
hst Of subjects has been chosen from the
many looked up during the last month:
Diseases Of dogs.
Picture of Martha Washington.
Constitution OF Delaware.

capitation tax and $500 as credit from
dog taxes, making a grand total OF 1922 :

"The county treasurer insists be can
collect back taxes" said Mr. Brown,
"and if he can we have no right TO raise
the rate. If We can collect this $40 900
we will be all right. l agree with Mr.
Scott that this county cannot be run on
the revenue of a rate Of so cents alone.
/ would like to hear from the county
treasurer, Mr. Burns, on this subject"
Mr. Hopkins said that a rate OF so
cents would not be sufficient were it not
for the fact that S65,000 OF taxes can be
collected
County Treasurer Burns, IN response
TO a request Of Mr.. Brown, said he saw
no reason why the back taxes could not
be collected He said that indications
we're that the Superior Court would
make a decision empowering the sale Of
properties TO satisfy claims for back
taxes. and was confident that more than
$4,000 could be collected.
When the vote was taken the schedule
Of appropriations was adopted unani-
mously. Messrs Salmon and Scott said
/ they voted affirmatively under protest.
The resolution WIS then adopted fixing
the rate at 90 cents, Of which 40 cents
is for county purposes and 10 cents foI
| poor taxes.

WEst Is a TOnIc2
A tonic is a medicine that increases
the appetite, increases the digestion, in
cresses the power Of the system to as
dmilate ard appropriate food.
This is the action Of all true tonics.
To be sure there are tonics that are
simply stimulaRts. They irritate the
stomach, and an unnatural craving for
foed Is excited. This class Of medicines
should be ciasssd as stimulants rather
than tOnics.
A tonic, as aboPe stated, quickens all
the functions Of digestion. 1t invig.
crates the body by furnishing more
force for the body.
The action of true fouacs Is not fem.
porary, but lasting.
The lassitude which warm weather
brings is due 10 an under-supply OF
nutrition for the body. Plenty Of food
may be on the table, but the food is not
relished, or else is not digested.
Slight catarrhal arrangements Of the
stomach and bowels will so effectually
interfere with digestion as to produce
great depression Of the system

In fixing the tax rate Of New Castle
county ior the ensuing fiscal year at 80
cents on the SlO0 of assessment the Re
publican members of the Levy Court,
az the special meeting OF that body, yes
terday afternoon, which was held Tor the
purpose Of fixing the rate, encountered
opposition. The rate was opposed by
both MIR. Salmon and Mr.. Scott, Demo
cratic members, who said they were OF
the opinion that the county could not
be run on a 5O-cent basis They inti-
mated that they considered the low rate
political move. The action was taken
by the Republican members, although
some Of them practically admit that
there viii be an oyerdralt at the end OF
the year If the back taxes are not gotten
in pretty we'll They predict that there
will be a deficit of 100000 at the end Of
the fiscal year.
Mr. Scott made a speech opposing the
rate He intimated that il was due TO
the influence Of County Treasurer Burns
that such low rate was fixed He said
''If this court is to be run by the receiver
OF taxes, then God save the court. The
back taxes can not be collected and MIR.
Burns knows it.
Alessrs. Hopkins and Brown, Repubh-
cans, said that County Treasurer Burns
had told them that S65O00 Of the out
standing taxes could be collected, which
would bring a satisfactory result at the
end OF the year Mr. Brown read q table
Of the outstanding taxes due the county
and said that 10000 could be collected
for the years 19Ol-O2-03-04, and $50 ooC
for the year 1905. He also read a de
I tailed statement Of estimated finance:

DANGER IN HIGH SPEEDS.
The Force Dev"iopc1 by swiftly
Moving Automobiles.

The Force DeVciopcI by swiftly
Moving Automobiles.
Danger to drivers of automobiles
grows rapidly greater with each new
burst of speed. A correspondent of
the Scientific American develops the
theme as follows: THE danger In all
cases increases as the square of the
speed Take three machines of the
same make. one going five miles an
hour, one twenty miles an hour and
one forty miles an hour. The second
has stored up In 1t, due to It's rapidity
Of motion, sixteen times rs much
energy as the first, and If 1t leaves the
yoad and runs Into an obstacle, such
rs tree, stone wall or q ditch, it
will strike with sixteen times as great
force. In going around curve or
turning corner 1t Is sixteen times as
likely to upset skid into the ditch or
strip n tire. When the power is shut
Off and the brakes applied it will go
sixteen times as far before it can be
brought to stop. IL it comes upon a
pedestrian suddenly the latter will have
to exert sixteen times as much energy
to get out of the way in time and II
struck will be struck with sixteen times
the force. The third machine Will be
slxty-four times as likely to get into
trouble In going around a curve as the
first.
IAN object going five miles an hour
is moving with the same speed as 1t
would have attained in falling ten
inches. In moving ten miles an hour
it is going as fast as though it had
fallen three and half feet. Twenty
miles an hour Is generally considered
very conservative speed, Now, twen-
ty miles an hour Is the same speed
that would be obtained were the ma
chine to fall thirteen feet through the
air, thirty miles an hour is equivalent
to fall of thirty feet, forty miles an
hour to a fall of fifty-two feet, sixty
miles an hour to fall Of 100 feet and
100 miles an hour to fall of 4SO feet.
"A person struck by an automobile
going twenty-five miles an hour re-
ceives the same jar as though he him
self had fallen from height of twenty
one feet, or, say, from second story
window; by one going forty miles an
hour, as though he had fallen fifty
two feet or, say, from the top of lofty
tree; by one going 100 miles an hour, as
though he himself had fallen from the
top of the Washington monument"
