Mrs Pennypacker is of the opin-
ion that the marriage relation is too
lightly, regarded: She believes that
the schools for girls which she would
have the government establish should
be conducted along the lines of the
educational system of England and
Germany. s-. ..~, >
"In Germany" said Mrs. Penny
packer, "a girl would consider herself
a fraud and a disgrace if she married
without proper preparation for her
future married life. .....
Were our girls properly educated
here, there would be no high cost of
living problem now. AS the spenders
of the nations income they have had
no training for their future .avoca-

rs A WORTHY UNDERTAKING.
Library Board Of Civinc League Will
=
~ Give the Citizens Chance to
!.
So Discuss the Question.

!; The Civic League has caught the
true spirit Of progress and Is devoting
Its energies to fostering every propO-
sition that can rdound to the benefit
OF the town. 1t is undertaking the
very things that will do the most to
make Oroville attractive as home
town and does not hesitate to UNDER
take any enterprise that has In It the
substance of civic betterment. The
membership of the league is composed
OF the gentler sex, and the way the
women of Oroville have taken hold of
the improvement problems that must
be met and solved by any town which
cares to grow in size and attractive
ness is an inspiration to all citizens.
The program already mapped out by
the league is an ambitious one, but NO
one who knows the quiet determine
ton and intelligent perseverance Of the
women can doubt that they will sue
coed In carrying out their purpose.
1.-The most recent and in many re-
spects the most important of their
proposals is the establishment Of q
free public library for Oroville. This
Is an undertaking that should receive
the undivided encouragement and sup
port of the citizens of the town. There
can be no question as to the advisable
ity Of the establishment here Of a free
public library, and the fact that other
towns in the county, smaller and in
many respects less favored than Oro-
Vile already have free Libraries for
public use effectually answers the ar
gument of any directors who might as.
sert that the movement Is premature.
In an open letter to the people of
Oroville. Mrs. Adela M. Hoskyn. chair
man of the library board of the Civic
League. presents the cause Of the ad-
vocates of free public library most
coEvTacIngiy as follows:
1.-THE Free Public Library is a SUBJ
1ect that every man, woman and child
in Oroville is interested in.
THE WOman's Civic League Is max
ing be ginning in this matter and
they want the help Of every Club"
League" and Society" in the town
What the little town of LOOMS has
done we surely can do. There THE
Kings Daughters" bought a lot, erect
ed q building and own 300 volumes in
their library. They also tell me the
library has proven a source of recrea-
ton and enlightenment to their citi-
Gems.
"Oroville's greatest need is a build
ing, then will come books, furnishings.
etc. The Washington State Library at
Olympia will send us a miscellaneous
collection Of books, to be read and re-
turned as often as we need them. Our
only expense would be paying the
freight on these cases. The Library
Board is planning for post-lenten
entertainment to be given sometime
In March. The school children as we'll
az the grown ups will be given an op-
portunity to be heard at this time.
Yours truly.
Mrs. Adela M. Hoskyn.
Chairman Library Board.

Ancient Industry.

The gold beater's art is n of the
oldest of the industries, and it is car.
ried on today much the same as it
was in ancient days, but a new proc
ess of making gold leaf has been re-
Gently introduced in England, which
bids fair to make a revolution In art.
In making these waferlike sheets by
the new process a ring of aluminium
about five feet in diameter and about
five and a half inches In width Is en-
ployed, and this Is coated with q So
luton of gum, and after drying is
dusted with some metallic powder in
q thin layer. After this layer has
been polished an electro deposit of
nickel is made upon the polished lay
er Of baser metal and gold is then
electro deposited on the nickel. Each
of the four layers is very thin, and
the composite layer is said to be thin
ner than the ordinary gold leaf. When
the formation Of the leaf has been
completed, the film is cut to expose
the soluble base layer of gum and the
ring is immersed in a solvent liquid
which dissolves the gum and the
metal film falls onto a band moving
at the same rate as the ring, which
last Is rotated in the ~dissolving Ii
guild, the film and paper being finally
cut into book size.

All In the Right Place.

Jack London, the novelist, was con.
trasting the acquittal Of a millionaire
manufacturer. on q dynamite-planting
charge with the severe sentence i'm
posed on a poor editor for too strong
ly c~hampioning the Paterson strikers.
"The rich r overleniently dealt
with in our courts" he said, land the
poor are o~verharshly dealt with. This
will keep on until the American peo-
pie come to respect only honest wealth
till they come to regard all wealth
gained through trickery and deceit as
the Englishman did.
This Englishman, at a dinner in
New York, hailed with delight the con-
viction by the courts Of an American
who had stolen millions by means OF
bogus mines.
"But a friend Of the criminal heav-
ed a sigh and said:
"ePoor old Charlie! His hearts in
the right place, anyway
Eyes said the Englishman, and
SO, thank heaven, is the rest of him
for the next four years."

MISTAKES MADE BY AUTHORS
Interpretations BY Popular WrteU
Have Been Many, and In Some
Cases They Have Stuck.

Some Of the most frequently used
quotations are not quotations 1T all,
but in many cases convey the oppo-
site meaning Of the original word
ing.
Fenimore Cooper, for instance,
Thought he was quoting from the b.
BILE when he spoke of an inscription
being devised that he who runs may
read" signifying that it wal easily
read by q man In haste. II Cooper
had looked in his Bible he would
have found In the book of Habakkuk
that the passage he tried to quote
was: Write the vision and make It
plain that he may u that readeth
it." The vision was q warning and
the reader was to Zee from danger, but
the Cooper version has survived the
original and practically put It out Of
use.
"A popular chronic misquotation IL
that Of the passage In "Hudibras."
which says: He that complies
against his will Is Of the same opin-
ion still" Authors and public speak
ers without number have twisted
that into "A man convinced against
his will is of the same opinion STILL"
forgetting that q man who was con
vlnced could not possibly remain Of
his previous opinion. for II he was
Of the same opinion he would not be
convinced.
Theodore Roosevelt publicly de-
clared that Washington in his fare
well address said: ITO be prepared
for war Is the most effective means
to promote peace" But the first
president said nothing Of the sort in
his farewell address. In his first mes
sage to congress he said: ITO be pre-
pared for war is one of the most eff
fective means Of preserving peace"
and he spoke of other mean az
we'll.
Novelists do not seem to be very
strong in their knowledge of the
Scriptures somehow, and Sir WaltN
Scott in THE Heart Of Midlothian
attempts to point a moral with the
words: Our simple and unpretend-
ing heroine had the spirit Of those
peacemakers to whom it is promised
as a benediction that they shall in
herit the EARTH" The fact is that
the peacemakers did not receive any
such promise, but it is said that "the
meek shall inherit the earth"

10000 MASSACRED
Americans and EngIishmen Among
Bulgarian's Victims.

With the occupation by the Greek
army of the town of Xanthi it is re-
ported that it was found to have been
pillaged by the retreating Bulgarian
army early in the month and all the
inhabitants, including seventy foreign
ers, among them Americans and Eng
fish, m%assacred.
Twenty thousand Greeks and many
Mussulmans and Jews are said to
have been killed before the town was
pillaged.
The Greek bishop and a score of
leading citizens were carried away
by the Bulgars and are supposed to
have been killed later.
The fate of Xanthi has been in
doubt since July is. At that time
two Greek armies were attempting to
overtake and intercept the %retreating
Bulgarians before they could take

wipe out the town. The Greek troops
