OPEN AIR LIBRARY FOR HoeoEs,

William Wheeler Fippen, justice
of the peace Of Penryn, Cal, has es-
'tablished library for hoboes in a
grove of trees near his place. It is
believed that his hobo library is the
only one of its kind in the United
States. Books, magazines and daily
newspapers are supplied.
In addition to having shelves sus-
pended from the limbs of the trees
and cases standing against the large
trunks Of the oaks and pines, Ftp
pen has placed long table in the
grove, supplied with two benches
and several armchairs for the read.
en. Fippen has few hoboes to deal
with in his court, because they all
know him and respect him.
