SCHOOL LIBRARY IS FORMED
Miss Edith Tobitt of Library Issues
Circular on Plan.
SCHOOLS TO DISTRIBUTE BOOKS
Collection of Five Thousand Volumes
to BE Used in Novel scheme,
Whereby Children in Distant
Parts of City Arc Aided.

Miss Edith Tobitt of the public library
has issued a circular to school teachers
calling their attention to the 5000 volumes
now In the Omaha collection In what is
known as the school library" These
books are for the use of school children
who live too far from the public library
to draw books in the regular way. For
their distribution each school becomes a
library delivery station. A large collec-
ton of pictures to be used in teaching
geography Is also at the disposal Of the
teachers and pupils. The number of books
Is limited to thirty-five for the primary
grades and fifty. for the grammar grades
Teachers are likewise granted special
facilities for getting the books they need.
Special cards are issued in addition to the
personal cards, and manual training teach
ers can have three of these special cards,
while grade teachers can have two special
cards. High school teachers are entitled
to ten special cards for school use. In addi-
ton to these cards, books can be reserved
In the reference department of the library
for the use Of classes for q period of two
weeks. ....-..
An extension of library work and useful
ness is being planned by Miss Tobitt and
the library board, by which homes in GER
tain districts will become local distributing
stations The plan will be inaugurated on
small scale, with the hope 1t may grow
to be regular feature of the library work.
When the proper locations have been de-
cided on, an employee of the library will
visit them at set times to give out and re-
ceive books, and the collections will be
varied as the need and demand seems to
warrant.

STORAGE LAW
IS PROPOSED

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The
warfare against the high prices of
meats was given renewed impetus
here today, with thousands sign
ing anti-meat pledges, when IL
was announced that not only will
an official investigation be made,
but a law will be demanded pro-
hibiting anyone from keeping
food in cold storage more than
sixty days.
IL is contended that enough
fish is in, cold storage here to feed
the population of the entire city
for year.
Millions of eggs are known to be
stored away, being held to keep up
the prices. Men who are leading
the fight say that the passage of
the 6O-day limitation law for cold
storage food would result i'm an
immediate decrease in prices and
relieve the situation.

Prof. Dudley believes that peo-

Never heard of neon?
1t isn't to be wondered at, be-
cause there's only pint of neon

Neon is just a gas, and it isn't
different from any other gas in
looks. But it is an exclusive, aris-

small quantities that in order to
get milk bottle full, you'd have
to extract it from about 200 tons
