libraries and the necessity to obtain
collection Of books to which the pup-
liz could have access. After the work
had been carried on for many years
by the woman's clubs, it was finally
decided to ask the general assembly
to follow the example OF Massachu-
sets, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky ana
several other states, and create
state commission.
In 1909 the state library extension
commission was authorized by amend
ing the state library act OF 1874. Inc
commissioners of the state library
we're empowered to appoint two per-
sons, who, together with the state IL
brarian, should constitute a board to
be known as the illinois library ex-
tension committee" The state IL
brarian, who is the secretary of state;
the superintendent of public tnstruc'
ton, and the governor, constitute the
state library commission.
Mrs. Georgia Bacon Of Macon coun-
ty, for several years president OF the
Illinois Womans clubs, is a leading
member Of the extension committee,
and It was largely through her efforts
that the legislature was induced to
authorize the extension work.
The committee selected Blooming
ton girl, Miss Eugenia Allen, as secre-
tary, and upon her devolves the major
portion Of the duties of the commit
tee. Miss Allen has been engaged in
t library work for the past ten years
: and is regarded as one of the most
r successful in her chosen profession in
' the west. Since her appointment as
: secretary last year, following the or
S ganization of the committee, she has
e been actively engaged in carrying out
l. the establishment of libraries in COM
il munities without such an institution
s and the Importance of her work is
n now widely recognized. When the

CLOTHES AS ORNAMENTS

A RDENT missionaries were trying to con-
1 vert the natives of village in unclad
Africa to modesty as well as to Christianity,
and for that purpose provided them all with
more or less complete outfits of clothes.
The natives were delighted, and spent sew
eral days simply in parading in civilized garb
through the one narrow village street.
But when Sunday arrived and the blacks
thronged to the weekly church service, car
rying the new clothes in bundles under their
arms, the missionaries were dismayed and
feared some kind of barbaric outbreak But,
since there seemed to be the usual mingling
of curiosity and reverence on the part of the
natives, they decided to ask no questions
until after the service. There was normal
quiet until just as the sermon was begun.
Then suddenly huge chief, who had been
squatting with his face toward the open
doorway leaped to his feet with an exclama-
ton.
Immediately the others of the tribe did
likewise, crying, "The Sun! The SUM- un-
wrapped their bundles, and proceeded to put
on their clothes.
"What does it all mean?" inquired one of
the white teachers.
The old chief turned to him with equal
amazement. "Of course" said he, 1--WE
could not wear Our beautiful ornaments
when the rain might come and spoil them"
