THE Value OF Good BOOKS
Practical Education to Be Gained by
Familiarity With One s Own
Library

Few there are who realize the ex.
tcnsive knowledge that can be gained
through an occasional reference to
what might be termed commonplace
books. There is probably not a fam.
lily in Harrisburg that does not possess
at least one such volume that is sell
dom referred to, or that is possibly
concealed in some hiding place where
1t is not even seen, except at such
times as there is 3 general house-clean-
ing. Run over in your mind the titles
of some of these books in your own
home. Doubtless you have copy of
the Bible. Do you ever refer to it as q
historical work or as a work of refer
encef Yuo know Abraham Lincoln said:
NO library is complete without two
certain books-the Bible and Shakes
peare; hardly quotation used in liter
ature that is not taken from one of
these works, and Lincoln was a self.
educated man-a man of practical
learning, whose words of wisdom will
be handed down to posterity.
The Bible thus becomes a work Of
more than ordinary educational value
to the everyday citizen; to men and
women, boys and girls, old and Young
alike. The Star-Independent is now of
fering the New Illustrated Bible. a
volume that is unique in that it com,
pletely illustrates the subject which
each picture accompanies. The illustra-
tions alone cost $4,000. 1t is posi-
tn M oh
ually illustrating it. This Bible is
not merely embelished; it is truly and
accurately illustrated. Other Bibles
there are containing pictures; none
other in which the individual texts are
actually illuminated, as though by the
touch of inspiration. Comparison is i'm
possible, for this new Bible stands alone
there is no other of it's kind.
Therefore, praise of this superb new
book means no disparagement of the
many excellent editions published here
totore. Nor is this superiority surpris-
ing; for more than 100 of the wofld s
greatest artists, working under the ad-
vice of archaeologists and historians of
wide renown, have contributed the
choicest products of their skill and
genius to produce this grand triumph
of artistic beauty and perfection in
historical detail. These pictures are
not more reproductions of mediaeval
freseoes and more or less familiar mod
ern photographs, inserted at random;
they have been specially made, in the
light of exact knowledge, to illustrate
selected texts in accordance with the
matured beliefs of the greatest living
scientists. 1t must be remembered that
this new Bible also contains every es.
sential special feature that gives pc

L'Aiglon S Grave Neglected

"L' L'Aiglon," the son of Napolen,
was unfortunate throughout his brief
life, and his very memory is now neg
lected. He lies buried in Vienna and his
tomb is described by the correspondent
of French contemporary as "mel-
ancholy spectacle" Only copper plate
attests to the fact that the little king
of Rome is buried there, and not a
flower decks the grave. This neglect is
the more vivid inasmuch as the sur
rounding royal tombs including that of
his mother, who was an Austrian, are
richly ornamented and surrounded with
a luxurious growth of aowers.-Lon-

A well-known resident sof Kansas
City, Mo-, who darkened her gray hair

make it soft and glossy with this sim
pie recipe, which they can mix at

lieves scalp troubles and is excellent

The only sure way to get rid of dan

it at night when retiring; use enough to

Books Made by Slaves

Some publishers in ancient Rome
could turn out books rapidly and
cheaply. A publisher of the Angus
tan ero produced 1000 copies of the
second book Of Martial in ten hours,
and these, sold at about IL cents
apiece, gave him profit of 100 per
cent. This was done by employing
slaves carefully trained to write swift
ly and legible. Working in patches of
100, with an overseer debating the
book in hand, the task was completed
in very short time. As soon as the

NEW YORK, Dec. 5-The New York
National League will go slow in its
efforts to prevent RUDE Marquard
from playing with John M. Wards
Brooklyn Federals. Tentative plans
to carry the fight into the highest
courts we're to be laid down by the
Giant officials. One Of the steps will
be to lay Marquard's contract with
the Giants before the best lawyer in
the country to learn exactly TO what
extent the paper holds the big south
paw.
According to these temporary
plans, the Giant attorneys Will not
go into court before the first of the
year. and they may wait until the
opening Of the season and start the
legal fight by asking for an injunction
restraining Marquard from playing
in Brooklyn. Similar injunctions will
be asked to keep the latest jumper
from appearing in any Federal
League city.
Giant officials we're particularly
bitter against Marquard for his ac-
ton, but none of them would be quot
ed early today. It is known, however,

BOMB OUTRAGES
ON THE Increase
New York Reports More
Paintings and Other
Gang Fights
GUNNER ALSO IN
STREET FIGHT
By The United Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 5-Two bomb
paintings and a running gun fight
by gangsters we're today added to
New York's recent outbreak of dyna-
mltlngs, street assassinations and
inter-gang saloon fights.
Someone who left no clue to his
identity planted a bomb containing
highly explosive chemicals under the
iron steps of shop at "a Union
Square late last evening. Its ex-
plosion, by means of a rope fuse,
ripped out six-foot piece of heavy
iron from the stairway foundation,
shattered windows in the Union Saw
ings Bank next door, and badly
frightened hundreds who were pass
ing through Union Square home
ward.
The second bomb was planted at
the Children's Branch of the Bronx
Court 1t was discovered in time
to prevent its explosion.
The gunner street battle was
staged at Tenth avenue and Thirty
second street. No one was hit, al
though a score of shots we're fired
before police scattered the fighters
by use of their own revolvers. Joseph
Joyce was arrested as he pushed his
gun in Patrolman Schaeffer's side
The revolver went off as Schaeffer
knocked it to the ground. The police
say the battle was the result of the
killing of several days ago of Will

maryland TEST
FOR SHIPPING BILL
Opponents Of Law Say 1t
InterfereS With Inter-
state Trade
TO USE HAZEL
NLAW ARGUMENT

ELKTON, Md, Dec. 5-The Limited
Shipping Bill. passed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature of Maryland.
which prevents residents of the East
ern Shore of Maryland from receiv-
ing more than a gallon of whiskey
in any one month. is soon to be
tested. Plans are under way to test
the law, and those behind the move
ment assert that beyond a single
doubt the constitutionality of it will
be proven invalid when it reaches
the Court of Appeals.
A representative of the firm of
Anthony Keyser, Philadelphia, was on
the Shore recently making a quiet,
but thorough investigation into the
Vaccinations of the law.
The alleged weakness Of the law,
according to the Keyser people, is
that il interferes with interstate
trade, and the fight will be conducted
on that line and the arguments used
against the Hazel law of Delaware
will be applied against the Eastern
Shore Anti-Whiskey bill.
The Keyser people have conferred
with Acknowledgement Edgar Allan
Poe, and sometime within the next
few weeks a shipment of five gallons
of whiskey will be made to some resi-
dent of one of the Eastern Shore
counties. The express or freight COM
pany handling the shipment will, OF
course, refuse to make the delivery
and then the Keyser people will make
demand for the delivery, backed by
like demand from the consignee
When the transportation company re-
fuses to make the delivery, the Phila-
delphia firm will then institute pro-
ceedings to compel its delivery.
Even should the law be declared un-
constitutional, however, II would still
be impossible for Eastern Shore resi-
dents to obtain more than a gallon g
month from any firm in Maryland
but they could order as much as they
desired from any firm in Delaware oil
Philadelphia. This naturally would
turn the Eastern Shore whiskey trade
from Baltimore to either Wilmington
or the old Quaker city.
Rumor has it that the same inter
ests that fought the Hazel law In Del
aware are behind the movement tC
overthrow the Eastern Shore law. II
any event, the fight will, no doubt
prove interesting from a legal poin
of view, and many are wondering JUS
what the outcome will be.
