PAXTANC COMPLETES
PLAN FOR LIGHTING
Material Ordered; Current to Be
Switched Into Borough Streets
in Month

Paxtang borough has formally closed
its contract with the Harrisburg Light
and Power Company for the installa-
ton of electric street lights in the little
town and the contract was filed this
morning with the Public Service Com
mission.
The streets will be lighted with
twelve of the new style type c Mazda
lamps, which will be swung from gal
vanized metal standard arms. From
three to six more lamps will be set in
PaXtang streets in the near future. All
the necessary material for the new
lighting system has been ordered and
within another month it is expected
the current can be turned on.
PaXtang. although incorporated less
than year, is the second of the small
towns near by to solve the electric
lighting problem by using current car
ried from this city. Dauphin was the
first to adopt the modern system of
street illumination. Electric lights for
their streets was one of the improve
ments the citizens of progressive Pax
tang had up their sleeves when the
town was incorporated and just as soon
as the matter could be placed before
the town council the progressive ele-
ment passed the measure.

Japan Makes Fl Demands
on Pekin Government
.Sbccinl TO The TeIeerabh

PekiIf China, Jan. 27.-Certain po-
litical and territorial demands which
Japan has made upon China follow
ing the Japanese occupation of Kiao-
Chou have become known in Pekir
and their extent is disquieting to
Chinese officials.
These demands, twenty-one in num-
Der, were communicated to the Chin
ese government Saturday by the Japa-
nese minister here. They include:
First. That China turn over to ia
pan all existing German and Austrian
concessions.
Second. That China shall pledge
herself not to give concessions to any
country except Japan.
Third. Permission to build a special
territorial railroad.
Fourth. Mining privileges in Shant-
ung and Fokien Provinces; in Man
churia, Eastern Mongolia and the
Yang-tse Valley.
If these demands were granted, it Is
felt in Pekin that the result would be
equivalent to turning to Japan all the
regions above named as spheres of in
fluence, to the detriment of the treaty
rights of other nations. Up to tht
present time the Pekin government
has not replied to the Japanese note

versity of North Dakota, Ohio State
University, Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, Pennsylvania State College,
Utah Agricultural College and the
University of Washington. All of
these institutions give full credit to-
ward graduation for courses designed
to train students in effective use of
books and Libraries.
Elective courses in library work are
offered by many prominent institu-
tions of higher education, including
Cornell University, the University of
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Mich
igan, New Mexico, West Virginia and
the University of Denver.
Wisconsin and Idaho are the only
states requiring library instruction
in the normal schools, according to
the report. "The best material in a
library" the bulletin asserts, "is fire.
quently in the form Of magazine arti-
cles, pamphlets and technical papers
prepared by experts. Every student
should be required to take some
course in the handling of library
tools. Such a course should not only
be required, but it should constitute
a definite part of the work required
for a degree"

Teaching The Use Of A Library

Knowing how to use a library is so
important in the estimation of the
United States bureau of education
that DIR. Henry r. Evans, of the
bureaus editorial staff, has been COM
missioned to find out what the edu-
cational institutions of the country
are doing as to instruction in the
management and use of libraries"
The results Of this investigation are
made public in a bulletin just issued,
on Library instruction in UNIVERSE
ties, Colleges and Normal Schools"
Out of 446 institutions of higher
education replying, 81 give definite
library courses. OF 166 normal
schools replying to the bureaus in
quiry, 90 reported instruction in Ii
brary methods.
Separate library schools have been
established at the following institu-
tons: Simons College, Boston; West
err Reserve University, Cleveland,
Ohio; University of Wisconsin, Uni
versity of Illinois, and Syracuse Uni
versity, New York.
Required courses in library instruc-
ton are maintained by the Kansas

l) Hold the chicken by the legs
and run it quickly over the flame from
a !oosely-twist lighted newspaper
which, for safety, may be laid in
coal bucket or ash tray. This will
remove the fine hairs. Remove any
pin feathers with the aid of sharp
small knife blade. The charred hair
may be washed off later.
(2) Cut the logs off well below the
knee joint. If the legs are cut above
the knee joint the flesh on the drum
stick will be pulled back from the
end.
90 Cut the head off leaving as
much of the neck as possible, then
push the skin of the neck back and
cut the neck off quite close to the
body. The envelope of the remaining
skin gives the dressed bird heater
appearance. The neck bones with the
adhering meat make "a valuable addi-
ton to the giblets. The gullet and
windpipe are, OF course, on the neck
and must be pulled away.
ca To remove the entrails, make
an incision about 21a inches in length
across the abdomen and as close to
the vent as possible. In making this
incision, be careful not to penetrate
the intestine. Slip the fingers in first.
and gradually insert the whole hand
through the slit into the body cavity.
Work the viscera loose from its at
tachments by sliding the fingers over
the inner surface of the body walls.
In this way, after a little practice,
the viscera can be removed quickly
and easily. The lungs will almost in
variably tear, leaving shreds sticking
to the back. These, and the kidneys
of the chicken, which are two long,
dark red bodies lying each side of
the backbone and firmly fastened,
should be removed in pieces. The rest
of the viscera, including the crop,
which lies far front and just under
the skin of the breast, when loosened
will come out in a mass through the
inciscion. The intestine is still at
