Now, once again, the police are
trying to make point which in
itself would help them, but which
is incompatible with their other

that the crime was done before

off all night. 1t is perfectly clear
that any well marked footsteps
must have been left after the rain
stopped. or when 1t had nearly

LIBRARY Ord. NANCE

Councilman n. S. Pratt last
night introduced an ordinance pro-
viding for the conduct of the city
library under the state library law.
The object is to take the library
out of politics. The mayor is al
lowed to appoint commission of
five, one to 60 ut each year.
Under the. -late law the library
wuld receive 10 cents year for
each patron. 1t would mean about
$1,000 With such additional fund
a librarian could be employed who
has wide experience. The present
salary of 800 has failed to tempt
any successor to Librarian Deffen-

CEDAR WOOD FOR PENCILS
Now Bought By the Pound. and Crow
 Ing Scarcer Each Year

The lead pencil is one of the most common articles in every day use. and nearly 10000, 900 pencils are manufactured in this country every year. To manufacture tn sse miill- ons of pencils there are required 1l0,0 tons; or 7.300, 900 cubic feet of wood, so that each day in the year 300 tons, or 1000 cubic feet. of wood are used for pencils. Since practically all of the wood is red cedar, and since the pencil industry is steadily growing, the supply of red cedar is greatly depleted; yet no substitute has been found for it. Leaving out of consideration the imported pencils. the average edu- cated American over 10 years of age uses six pencils of home manufac ture each year. Ten years ago he used less than five.
 Red cedar has a soft. straight grain, and when grown under best conditions is very free from defects. Because of its peculiar qualities no equally good substitute for it has ever been found, and it is doubtful if any other wood-usiDg industry is so dependent upon jingle species as the pencil industry is dependent upon the red cedar. In fact. red cedar suitable for y,encil manufac- ture is the only wood the price of

Rolling on a Barrel,

The public In general and life savers In particular should be warned of the danger and folly of rolling on bar rel the bodies of apparently drowned persons. This process has never yet helped to resuscitate, though 1t has undoubtedly killed many, half drown ed persons. The idea that 1t pumps out" the water is entirely falla- cious. In the first place, no water enters the lungs of drowned man till he has been absolutely dead for many hours. In the second, the re- moval of water from the stomach is quite secondary consideration com pared with the importance of re-estab- fishing the action of heart and lungs, and rolling a body on barrel is about the surest way of preventing both heart and lungs from resuming their normal functions. Artificial expansion and contraction of the chest by alter nately stretching the arms above the head and compressing the chest with them is the correct first aid to the ap- parently drowned, but never can roll ing on barrel be anything but dele terious.-New York Times.

How to Detect Base Coin.

Several cases of making and circulat- ing counterfeit coin have been heard at the central criminal court during the last few days. and at the conclusion of one of the cases the foreman of the jury asked the authorities if they would take suggestion from twelve business men who during the year had to deal with considerable sums in silver coin. There was. he said, most simple test for the detection of base coin. It was to sharply cut the milled edge of good coin against the milled edge of the suspected coin. If spurious the metal would almost immediately begin to shave off After making personal test the common sergeant said he quite agreed with the suggestion of the jury as to the usefulness of the test and said 1t ought to be made known.-Lon- don Queen.

Pretty Thin Coffee.

During one of George Graham Vests campaign tours in the early nineties 1t was necessary for him to sojourn over night in the town of St. Charles. The best hostelry the place afforded was poor enough, and at breakfast Vest was especially put out by the stuff that was placed before him for coffee. After having sampled the beverage Vest with a frown, called for the proprietor. When that individual appeared the senator asked, with wave of his hand toward the offending liquid smoking innocently before him, "Slr, what Is this stuff2" Coffee" meekly replied the proprietor. somewhat taken aback. "Coffeew repeated Vest in fine scorn. My friend, could insert coffee bean in my mouth, dive into the Missouri river, swim to the town of Alton, H., and I'll guarantee that one could bail up much better coffee than this, sir, over the entire route!"

The sachem of Pokanoket, known in the history of New England as King Philip, was the youngest son of Chief Massasoit His Indian name was Po- metacom, but his father was friendly to the English colonists. who gave him the name of Philip. His warfare upon the settlers some fifty years after the first landing of the pilgrims at Plym- outh rock barassed them greatly, but Philip was at last killed at New Hope, and the war thus ended. The title of king corresponded better with his Eng fish name than the Indian title of sachem would have done.

which is always quoted by the pound.
 Strange as it may seem. no steps have heretofore been taken to pro- vide for future supply of red cedar. This has been largely due to lack of information on the rate of growth and the habits of the tree and to the wide spread belief that second-growth red cedar never reaches merchantable size.
 In accordance with its policy to ward the conservation and economic use of commercial woods. the Forest Service has made a careful study of red cedar and has come to the conclusion it can profitably be grown in regions of its develop. ment. Several changes are recom- mended in present forest manage ment ip order to secure the desired growth. In the southern forests the cedar will have to be given a better chance instead of being con- sidered. as now, negligible quantity in its younger stages. and many of the forests-grown trees which are now cut for fence posts can profitably be left to attain their full developm ant and thus become available for pencil wood.
