where the present auditorium is To-
Gated
There are two very glaring faults
with the Richmond library Mr.. San
born told his listeners. The build
ing is not planned according to the
modern idea of a library. Because
of the old style architecture as com
pared with modern library buildings,
it is extremely hard to administer and
get results from every dollar which
is put in it.
1T is a very serious objection to
have children on the third floor with
their department accessible only
through the entrance used by patrons:
of the reference rooms and general
library. l have recommended that the
children's library he moved to the
reference room on the second floor
and that an entrance be built from
North A street But after more ma
ture consideration, l see the plan Will
not be practicable as the interior walls
are too cut up with windows and
doors to remove conveniently.
Another objection is the fact that
the charge desk is located where it
can be seen Immediately upon enter
ing. With a librarian stuck behind
those bars there, it looks like some
thing formidable.
To Move Charge Desk.
This charge desk should be moved
to the east side of the building. the
bars removed and the partitions and
grill work should be taken out to
make the room seem more hosp1table
Il am told that three years ago the

children's library was moved for a
short time to the auditorium on the
first floor but that the objection to
this arrangement was the sewer gas,
the source of which could not then be
located Since that time, it was found
to eminate from a defective sewer and
has been remedied. The room is dry
and warm and cozy and will make
an excellent place for the children.
I'm your library proper, you have a
fine collection of books, in fact an
unusual collection on literary and cul-
tural matter. But in other ways, your
collection is deficient.
This can easily be explained. Your
library was. started early when the
prime idea was to accommodate only
bookish people. The modern idea is
to accommodate everybody. The col
lection of books must be broadened
out to meet the general requirements
instead of those of the student only.
Need Reference Librarian.
with such a collection as you have
you need a person who knows the
books, photography ct cetera. You
really need a good reference librarian
preferably man.
Il understand you people have a
movement on foot here to make schoo
houses your social centers. This idea
is very applicable in township library
extension work. Remember that this
is a township library and that 1t is
supported from a township tax. The

Wants Franchise.
What pity the late Mrs. Caroline
Reeves was never encouraged by our
city officials to take a more practi-
cal interest in city affairs" said Mrs
Stephens. "She was a remarkable
woman, probably the largest property
holder in the city and interested in
public affairs. However, she could not
vote although her coachman, who
might have been illiterate, was a
voter"
Mrs Stephens then ventured the
opinion that it was desirable to vest
women with the ballot, but she did
not approve of the efforts of her Eng
lish sisters to secure the ballot. I'VE
women of Richmond are not window
smashers. but We are just as much in
terested in public affairs as the Eng
lish women" she asserted.
Discusses Cleaning Week.
Mrs. Stephens concluded her re-
marks by urging a general observance
of cleaning week, the first week of
May, expressing her surprise that
there had not been seS~l disastrous
fires because of the amount of trash
in the rear of numerous downtown
buildings, and informing the city Off
cials that she hoped some day to see
the Whitewater valley beautified as
nature intended it to be. She admit
ted that several factories and power
plants in the valley were beneficial
from commercial standpoint but said
she had often dreamed how much
more picturesque the valley would be
without their presence

TORPEDO BOATS JOIN FLEET.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Sixteen
Amsrican dreadnoughts carrying 49,
o0GNmerican blue jackets today were
ordered to Tampico, Mexico, by Pres
fdent Wilson to force an apology for
the insult offered the American flag
on Thursday last, when American ma
rines were arrested by Mexican au-
thorities and paraded through the
streets of Tampico as prisoners.
In addition to the sixteen battle
ships, comprising the entire Atlantic
fleet, 800 marines now at New Or
leans were ordered to Tampico and a
torpedo fleet at Pensacola, Fla, was
notified that it probably would have
to accompany the Atlantic fleet to
Mexican waters.
While no government officials here
would comment upon the order or
what 1t implied, it was understood to
mean that the administration had
abandoned its "watchful waiting pol
Icy and that 1t intends to demand re-
paration for the insult offered by the
Fampico authorities.

Out of forty-three examination
papers sent to Indianapolis for grad
ing, thirty-one were returned marked
failures and twelve candidates for
teachers examination passed success
fully.
OF the twelve making passing
grades, eleven were in the high school
examination and one was for a COM
mon school license. The common
school examination is more difficult
than the high school examinations be-
cause the candidate must pass ten
subjects whereas the high school ap-
plicant may choose one out of several.
Mr.. Williams is grading the re-
mainder of the papers and believes
the proportion will be maintained in
those kept here.

About dozen women were interest
mayors cabinet at the city building
last evening and two of them, Miss
Bertha Larsh and Mrs. Phareba Steph-
ems, took part in the informal discus
"votes for women" to garbage disposal
and cleaning week." They showed
themselves to be we'll informed on city
affairs and their remarks were heard
There were several men spectators
but they were content to let the wo-
men and the city officials do all the
talking.
All the city officials had interest
ing reports and il is evident that city
factory condition.
After the report of the superinten-
dent Of the crematory had been read
Mayor Robbins remarked that the gar
bage question was one of the most
important which confronted the city
administration. "Our crematory is too
small and we have not the money to
construct a larger one," said the
mayor.
Mr. Mayor, l have read of an in
teresting experiment made in an east

Miss Larsh on Garbage.
I'VE would be pleased to hear about
it." gallantly replied the chief execu-
tive, and Miss Larsh, who is teach
er In the public schools, proceeded to
explain that in one of the large cities
the oil secured from garbage was suf
ficient to defray the garbage disposal
expenses. Undoubtedly in a large
city that plan would be an excellent
one, but Richmond is too small for it
to be used with practical results" the
Qaayor replied, in which opinion City
I'm gineer Charles concurred.
Mrs. Stephens was then Recognized
by the chair" and said that in Berlin,
Germany, garbage is now being used
as fertilizer for the city farm, which
raises garden truck for the poor of
the city. 1t was also the opinion that
such a plan would be satisfactory in
the larger cities.

sion Mrs. Stephens took occasion to

Tampico was reached at today's cab
met meeting at the White House.
This Is the most hostile action Presi-

war will have to be made by congress
but the President as commander in

salute to the Aemrican colors.
1t is understood the fleet will get
under way early tomorrow morning
from New York and Philadelphia to

Then there are other soups or purees
made entirely, of vegetables and herbs
which are substantial enough to re-
place meat dishes as they give con

when they are properly compounded.
But the names of these soups do not

Of the best:
Corn Chowder - Chowders make
most satisfying and nourishing lunch
con dishes. and several are made with
out meat extractives of any kind. For
corn chowder take a quart of grated
fine corn; ordinary canned sweet corn
may be used, but first put through a
food chopper; also a white onion
chopped fine, two good-sized white po-
tatoes, diced; a tablespoonful of
minced parsley, salt and pepper. Put
the potatoes in first; then a sprin-
king of onion, a little parsley, salt,
pepper, and then a layer of corn. Then
more potato, and so on, until all are
in, having the top layer of corn. Add
a pint of cold water and simmer gently
until the potato is just tender, but not
broken. About twenty minutes will be
sufficient, perhaps less. Rub together
two tablespoonfuls of butter and two
OF -four; add beaten egg yolk and thin
with a little hot milk; then add
pint Of scalded hot milk; stir all to-
gether and stir into the chowder.
Stir and cook a few minutes longer
and serve at once. II you do not wish
to use the egg, the chowder is excel
tent without 1t.
Convent Soup-Take two pounds of
fresh founder, or any white fish; cut
in pieces; one carrot, one onion, one
turnip, two stalks of celery, chopped.
Add bunch of herbs and a quart of
cold water, and cook gently for about
two hours. Take out the fish, remove
the bones and skin and put the meat
back into the soup with a pint of
scalding hot milk, thickened with
level tablespoonful each of butter and
flour and mixed with the beaten yolk
of an egg and little lemon Juice. Sea-
son to taste with salt, pepper and graf
ing of nutmeg. Press through a sieve
and serve.
Good Vegetable Soup-Cut into fancy
shapes or chop fine one small carrot,
one turnip, one tomato (the solid meat
of canned tomatoes can be used); add
half a pint of peas. half a pint of
beans, soaked and parboiled if dry;
two tablespoonfuls OF rice, one quart
of cold soft water, and cook slowly.
A cupful of corn and two white pota-
toes, diced, may be added when the
soup is nearly done, Season with salt
and pepper to taste. Another quart
Of boiling water will be required. The I
rice may be boiled separately in this
water and both added to the soup.

A Good Road in Wisconsin.

fare.
At any rate, the office of roads is
now taking special pains to make clear
the economic advantage Of avoiding
steep grades in other roads, even at
some sacrifice of better land. Inves-
tigation shows that the laying of such
roads over hills has resulted more
from attention to the preservation Of
farm lines than from scientific atten-
tion to the problem of road building
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted, where a horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on a level
road 1t would have difficulty in pulling
5000 pounds up steep hill. The size
Of the load, therefore, tends TO be
measured by the grade of the largest
hill on the road to market In a num-
Der OF cases actual experiment shows
that the relocating of roads around
hills has been accomplished, either
with no addition In road length in
some instances, and with the adding
of only a few feet to the highway in
others. The ONCE knows OF no case
where a properly relocated road
which has cut out grades has led &c
any question as to its material reduc
ton Of hauling costs.

Inc average life of horses and au-
tomobtles may be increased and the
cost OF hauling reduced, according to
the office Of roads of the department
of agriculture, by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out OF new ones. The natural tenden-
cy In road building is to build a
straight road. whether It goes over
steep grades or hills. or not, and pull.
Ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles
The doctrine Of the office of roads Is
that the longest way around may often
be the shortest and most economical
way home, and that frequently by
building a highway around hill OF
grade, but little appreciable distance
is added and this is more than Offset
by the reduced strain of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point Of view is that the lay.
ing out of roads on this principle OF
avoiding grades necessitates, i'm some
cases, running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures. in.
stead Of going around the farm line
and building the road through old

roads points out that the running of

a good farm, where there are good
sheep, cattle, horses, grain, fruit or
vegetables, has a certain advertising
value and in many instances makes
the land more valuable. In other
cases, the Importance of such a level
