CIVIC CLUB
MAY MANAGE
THE LIBRARY
LADIES WILL DECIDE MATTER
AT THEIR NEXT
MEETING.

Trustees of the George c. Thomas
library and the advisory board of
| the Woman's Civic club discussed
I the plan at conference held
| Thursday evening at the home of
| Mr.. and Mrs. l. C. Hess. of having
the club take over the management
of the library. While there was no
| definite agreement reached, the
members of the committee stated
later that they favored the plan,
provided the majority of the club
would agree to it.
Mrs. l.. c. Hess. president of the
Woman's Civic club, had thought of
calling special meeting for the
purpose of having the matter def
nitely decided. but it is probable
now that the matter will rest until
tie next regular meeting.
The opposition to the plan of hay
ing the club take over the library
seems TO consist only of fear that
inusmuch as the title is vested in
the Episcopal Bishop of Alaska, the
for improving it.
The Rev. II. H. Lumpkin, pastor
of St Matthew'S Episcopal church.
no Is tlldlIllldn Vi inc DOdIu Ol
library trustees, explained at the
meeting that the work of the club
would not be handicapped because
Of the church's relationship to the
library.
1t was explained by Mr.. Lumpkin
that Mr. Thomas. who founded the
library. really intended the institu-
ton for the people of Fairbanks and
the creeks, but that he simply plac
ed the title in the name Of the
Bishop of Alaska SO some one per
son would have authority to dis
pose of the library in case the town
should in time become depopulated.
The provisions of the gift of the
library 10 the town, Mr.. Lumpkin
explained included the requirement
hat the pastor of st. Matthews
church should always be chairman
of the board of trustees. This would
not mean, he said, that the pastor
or the church would have any ar
Ditrary rights in the matter.

FIERCE LOOKING IS THE SIKH
Have Most Remarkable Per sonal Appearance.

Did you ever see a Sikh in uniform? No? Whatever of fierceness your childhood fancy painted upon the face of soldier the Sikh has it. Other soldiers may be brave, or may fight more tenaciously or die more willingly, but for simple fereeness of personal appearance all medals go to the Sikhs.
 He is so fierce to look at that I wonder his English officer can calmly face him without fear. Does not Cae- sar relate that the Roman soldiers were frightened by the terrible looks of the early German tribes?
 A Sikh-and I've seen many regi- ments of them on their native heath is tall man with black hair and a long, black beard The beard is what makes him look so fierce. because he plaits it into two thick braids and draws these back of the ears. where they are tied.
 If you think that doesn't make sol- dier look fierce you make a sad error, which one glance at him would cor rect.
 The Sikhs are Hindus, and so strict are their religious beliefs that all the food they eat must be especially pre- pared according to their own rites.- Philadelphia Ledger.

WORLD MISSION OF CHlVALRY
Of Much Worth If Only to Create the Useful Romance of
 Action.

Chivalry served to draw out and de- velop those free, bold spirits whose talents could not have been evoked by the disputations of the schoolmen nor the mortifcations of the religious zeal ots, says the Engineering Magazine. It created a romance of action to match the saints moral paradise and evoked poetry and the arts to celebrate its charms. The love of the beautiful which it begot caused a hospitable re- ception to be given in Europe to the refinements brought from the East by the returning crusaders, which caused the first slight stirring of international trade.
 The enthusiasm which the many sided ideal of chivalry evoked with it's galaxy of virtues, may be seen, in literature, in the unfolding of the themes of the simple Aryan folk tales. and the prose romances of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, into the sen suous beauty of Provencal poetry and the delicacy and pathos of Plutarch and Dante Chivalry embellished with romance the lives of its half-legendary founders, Charlemagne, Siegfried and Arthur It supplied the conception or virtue sung in Chaucer's Pilgrimage, Malory's "Morte DArthur" and Spen- ser's "Faerie Queene." In the world of action chivalry animated the cru sades, dispensed justice throughout Europe for 400 years, purified court life and made much of the warfare or the middle ages peculiarly humane and noble. It's enthusiasm burned into brilliancy in such characters as Rich ard and Blondel. the Black Prince and his father, Tancred. Godfrey of Bouil- lon. Gaston de Folk. Bayard and War wick, and in a thousand forgotten com manders of the Templars, the Knights of St. John and the Teutonic Knights.

 nTOWNT75 M HELPS
SEEK TO INTEREST RAILROADS
Residents of California City Urge Them to Beautify Their
 Rights of Way.

At recent meeting of tree plant CTS in California city it was resolved to request the various chambers of commerce in that part of the state to urge the railroads to beautify their rights of way, particularly their ap- breaches to cities, all of which are slovenly and none of which are good.
 The subject of railroad gardening has been agitating the whole country for many years, and it has finally been determined that hardy, drought-resist- ant shrubs offer the best material for permanent identification. It Is not advisable to obscure too much of the station or station grounds, for obvi- ous reasons; therefore, few trees and many shrubs should be used, with very few Towering plants, for the latter require care, and railroads are most economical in matters where no direct financial return is assured
 Could the entertainments be plant ed with low growing, lo1-priced drought-resistant Towering shrubs and among these sown seed of native wild flowers, we would have beautifica- tion scheme of effectiveness at low cost that would stand for all time to come with minimum of care and ex- pense; yet one that would forever transform present ugliness into tracts of beauty.

KEEPS TREES IN CONDITION
Device of German Expert Provides for Their Systematic Watering
 and Ventilation.

A very ingenious and practical de- vice for assuring the trees on city sidewalks a sufficient supply of water, no matter how dry the season and how hard baked the earth, has recently been put in operation in Strassburg by MT. Sauer, the city tree inspector. It consists of a tube of iron or lead bent into the form of ring large enough to encircle the stem of the tree. The earth is removed so that this ring may be placed just above the roots, and is then filled in again, leaving the end of a pipe connecting with the ring pro- jecting above the surface of the ground. The top of the ring is pierced with a large number of small holes, and a tin cover or shield prevents these from becoming stopped up with earth. By means of a funnel in the protrud- ing end of the pipe any desired amount of water may be supplied to the roots without waste or loss of time A fur ther advantage, according to Prome- theus, is the ventilation thus secured of the earth in the vicinity of the roots-Scientific American.

"StonewaIl" Jackson.

Thomas Jonathan Jackson was born January 2f, 1924, at Clarksburg. Va, now West Virginia. His baptismal names have been almost forgotten in the greater fame of the name he won by his stout defense of a position at the first battle Of Bull Stone wall" He was a graduate of West Point and served in the Mexican war of 1S46, returning home as major. In February, 1852, he resigned from the army and became professor in Lex ington tXa1 Military institute. All though at first opposing secession he was champion of the southern states rights theory and in 1861 became col onel in the army of Virginia and sub sequently was promoted to be major general in the Confederate army. His record in the war is familiar, as is his death through the error of his own men while making a reconnaissance May 2, 1863.

Life Jobs on a Farm.

A farm for the benefit of silver" or lnskilled workmen thrown out of en- ployment by the completion of the Pan- ana canal has been established by he government on the Canal zone. There are now about one hundred men an this farm, all of whom are earning comfortable living for themselves. Nearly all these farmers are crippled, some having lost an arm or a leg or having been incapacitated in some other way for hard work. The farm grows bananas, oranges, cocoanuts and other tropical products and is stocked wiSh COWS, chickens, ducks and pigs. It is managed by the medi- gal corps of the United States army. Each workman is to have life job on he farm.

CHAPTER XIV.
Tea on the Veranda Adain.

It was more irritating than ever for Mrs. Galland to keep pace with her daughters inconsistencies. Here was Marta saying coolly:
 Unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's!' We have our property, our home to protect. Perhaps the Grays have come to stay for good. so graciousness is our only weapon. We cannot fight a whole army single handed"
 You have found that out, Marta 2" said Mrs. Galland,
 We have four rooms in the baron tower and kitchen stove" Marta pro- ceeded With Minna we can make ourselves very comfortable and leave the house to the staff ?
 The Gallands in their gardeners quarters! The staff of the Grays in ours. Your father will turn in his gravel" Mrs. Galland exclaimed.
 "But, mother. 1t is not quite agree able to think of three women living in the same house with a score of strange men." Marta persisted
 T had not thought of that, Marta Of course. 1t would be abominable! 2" agreed Mrs. Galland, promptly capitu lating where a point of propriety was involved.
 When Marta informed the officer the same one who had rung the door bell on his second visit-of the familys decision he appeared shocked at the idea of eviction that was implied But. secretly pleased at the turn of events. he hastened to apologize for wars brutal necessities, and Martas com plaisance led him to consider himself something of diplomatist. Yes, more than ever he was convinced of the wisdom of an invader ringing door bells.
 Meanwhile, the service-corps men had continued their work until now there was no vestige of war in the grounds that labor could obliterate; {; and masons had come to repair the walls of the house itself and plasterers to renew the broken ceilings
 All this Marta regarded in kind of charmed wonder that an invader could be so considerate. Her manner with the officers in charge of prepara- tions had the simplicity and ease which woman of twenty-seven. who is not old-maidish because she Is not afraid of single future. may employ as serene hostess. She frequently asked if there were good news.

Cultlvatlng Vacant Lots.

Vacant lot gardening has greatly in- creased In Philadelphia during the last year. More than six hundred families were engaged in the health full and remunerative work of culti vating the spaces of idle land in vari- ous sections of the city. The work is carried on under the direc- tion of the Philadelphia Vacant Lot Cultivation association. Since its organization in 1897 this organiza- tion has accomplished much in af- fording opportunity for self-help in Philadelphia. It secures the tempo rary use of idle land and assigns gar dening thereon to people who are in need of money, as well as healthful occupation. Not only by this scheme is chance for healthful and profit able work afforded. but it prevents .hese vacant spaces from being used IS unsightly dumping grounds.
