Gated. Mrs. Brooks rushed to her room
and discovered it filed with smoke,
Taking the child in her arms she hur-
ried to the front of the house. where
she found a gun. Hastily loading the
weapon the woman discharged it sew
eral times from the window.
The explosions were heard by a
patrolman of the Manayunl police
station, who after ascertaining the
cause. summoned the Manayunk and
Roxborough fire companies. When The
hremen arrived the house was on
veloped in flames. The blaze was ex.
tinguished after strenuous efforts.

LIBRARY NEWS NOTES

Those who have not visited the In
stitute Free Library during the last
month will be interested 10 know that
several improvements affecting not
only the appearance OF the library but
the comfort of its borrowers have been
made. The most noticeable improve
ment has been "a change made in the
loan desk. The old counter at the
rear of the desk has been removed and
a desk more i'm keeping with the front
part of the desk has been added. The
old wire railing which was a more or
less unsightly object has been removed
and il is planned 70 put I'm electric
light fixtures which will add mater

a change in the rules relating to re-
served books has been made. Up TO
this time on payment of cents, which
covered the expense of postal card and
extra labor involved. any book in the
library could be reserved an0 the per-
son reserving the book would be noti-
fed when it was available. The re-
suit of this plan worked to the ad-
vantage of many. but also worked to
the disadvantage of many more mas
much as the new fiction was always
reserved by a small number of indi-
viduals and tho books were not avail
able for the general public until their
popularity had waned. Under the new
rule fiction, which has been published
Eduring the last four years, cannot be
reserved An other books in the H.
brary with the exception of no. circu-
lating books, such as reference books
and periodicals, will be reserved as
usual. The result of this new rule bs
that the new fiction win be placed on
the open shelves as soon as it Is re.
turned TO the library and each Dor.
lrowcr win have TO stand his chance
with all others.
The library has added during the las
six weeks about 200 technical book
for working men. IL was found tina
imany OF the books on the shelves o
the library were books that wer
somewhat out-of-date. New edition
of these books have been bought AM
