A concord wagon was being sent out
to collect and deliver the station boxes

the librarians mind that this wagon
might incidentally deliver individual
books along the way Then the PROPOSE

Miss Titcomb worked out the plan and
had the wagon built, When it had been
completed, POO books We're selected with
the greatest care and placed on the
shelves. Then a man who had lived
among the people for years was given
the reins and told to fill the county with
books, He proved to be man OF re-
markable tact and unfaling good nature.
Many farmers and even preacher
spurned his books. He was told that the

Maryland Counts.

Q I. Harrington in Boston Transcript
People in Hagerstown, Md, marvel at
the activity and zeal Of Mary l., Titcomb.
Miss Titcomb comes from Vermont, how
ever, where activity is a special virtue,
and her zeal finds its Inspiration In her
work. The library at Hagerstown serves
an entire county. Miss Titcomb Is tho IL
hraran-the only one the Washington
County Free library has ever had.
Washington county covers an area OF
80 square miles. and the farmer In the
most remote corner is just as much en-
titled to a book as the mechanic on the
next street, There are 5000 people In
the county and the one great industry Is
agriculture. Miss Ttcomb's special APP
peal, then, is to the farmers
At first the farmers were not hungry
for books. Indeed, some of them grum-
bled nightly when the library was built.
1t has been Miss Titcomb's task begun

books into the hands of the farmers ana

She has accomplished this result to

striking tribute to the resourcefuness OF
womankind.
Her work has been, to use a pet eX-
preston of hers. the evolution OF the

that they could not wet it. 1t passed

Thus was the discovery made that

The process used today is as follows
Cloths intended for rainproofing are
first freed from grease and are then
saturated in specially constructed ma
chimes with the clear liquor obtained
in adding together solutions of pure
suIpbate Of alumina and acetate of
lead. The lead is precipitated out and
the acetate of alumina is dried in the
fabric. The cloth undergoes further
treatment with wax, and in one sys-
tenn wax is applied frictionally from
a block under the pressure of a pneu-
matte roller. Under the method more
generally used the wax, or mixture OF
wakes, is melted by heat and applied
