THE LIBRARY BOARD
EXPLAINS REGENT ACTION

The friends (and we hope we speak
that word advisedly) OF the Public Li-
brary in East and South Canon may
be iaboring under a misapprehension
regarding the recent move of the IL
brary board: namely: TO charge those
persons who take books out of the
library. and who do not live in the
municipality OF Canon City s1.00 per
card. which entities the holder to "a
books--but when the matter is thor
oughly explained to them they will
see the perfect justice of the decision.
Canon City is taxed a one MILL tax
on its assessed valuation for library
purposes which provides maintenance
for the institution. This nets $1,000
ppr year for such purpose. With the
most economical management pos
slblc. this sum is barely sufficient TO
pay librarians, fuel, lights. new books.
magazines and periodicals.
The old books already on the
shelves are wearing out badly. They
necd constant replenishing or very
soon the number of volumes will be
greatly depleted.
The situation has been very care

Of both South Canon and East Canon

SUBMARINES SAIL TOMORROW
And the Severn Mother Ship VIII be
TOwed 10 Winter Quarters at
Norfolk NAVY Yard.

Preparations were completed today
by the crews of the three submarine
torpedo boats of the third flotilla. for
sailing from the Naval Academy to-
morrow for the Norfolk navy yard.
where it is expected quarters will be
established for the winter.
Lieut.. Lewis ID. Causey, a former
Navy football star, commands the
flotilla. which comprises the CO, CO
and Co. The submarines have been
engaged in drills and exercises in the
waters of the bay in the vicinity of
Annapolis for the past two months,
with the Naval Academy as the base
of operations.
Among the experiments conducted
by the tiny craft were those in con-
nection with aeronautics at the local
naval aviation school. There was a
series of tests, the object of which
was to determine how well an aviator
might determine an enemy s subma-
rine coming into a harbor by locating
it while submerged.
With the submarines will 60 the
old cruiser Severn, one-time a prac-
tice ship at the Academy, now the
mother ship of the little vessels.

SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS
TO Be DISTRIBUTED
Slight Modification is Made in
Recent Postal Regulation.
DISCRETION FOR POSTMASTER.
Certsia Measures May be Adopted to
Meet Public Demand Within Limi-
tation.

Although the regulations OF the
Postofiice Department forbidding the
delivery of mail matter either
through the general delivery win
dows, or TO lock boxes held by citi-
zens, still remains in force, il has
been modified to some extent, in that
certain discretionary powers are
vested in the postmasters in order to
meet the demands of citizens of a
community as far as possible.
IN accordance with this revision,
Mr.. Daniel r. Randall, postmaster
of this city, has s6opted measures to
meet the demands of local patrons as
far as the limitations will permit A
change went into effect last Sunday
as a result of which all holders of
lock boxes, who receive Sunday pa
pers by mail, got their periodicals at
the usual time.
Keen surprise was felt by many
box holders upon finding the Sunday
periodicals in the boxes last Sunday,
and wonder was expressed as to
whether the clerical force had made
mistake Inquiry. however, de-
veloped the fact that Postmaster
Randall had adopted his as meas
ure to meet demands.
Discussing the matter today, Mr..
Randall stated that a recent commu-
nication from the Postoffice Depart
melt gave the postmasters certain
discretionary power in the premises.
The local postmaster has, there
fore, not only decided to distribute
newspapers to ell lock boxes. but all
mail matter, letters or packages,
bearing special delivery postage,
also will be delivered on Sundays.
So, remember all you holders of
lock boxes that tomorrow and the
succeeding Sundays, you will be able
to get your Sunday paper through
the mail.

ALLOWED TO RESIGN?
-Four midshipmen to Leave Service Of
The Government.

According to information from
unofficial, but reliable sources, re-
eeived here this afternoon, the Navy
Department has called for the resig-
nations Of the four midshipmen of
the fourth class recently recommended
for dismissed for the alleged maltreat
ment Of a classmate.
Those who will have to resign are
William r. Saunders, South Caro-
lima; Jonlthan d. Reed, Kentucky !;
r. G. Nevill, Missouri, and earl
Wagner, Pennsylvania.
These four Young men were recon-
mended for dismissal by a board of
Investigations that held sessions
covering a period Of a month, and
the recommendations received the
approval of Superintendent Glib
bons. The only mitigating action
taken by the department is that
the four young men will be allowed
to resign, instead Of being sum-
marily dismissed from the naval
school.
The victim OF the "maltreat-
ment. of which they were convicted,
was f. Ii. Jones, of Indiana. The
four middies, it is said, claim that
they did not maltreat Jones, but that
whatever action they pursued against
him was what they regarded as for
the good of their class.
