The statement that 500 American
boys. under the age of enlistment,
have been weeded out Of the Canadian
contingent OF troops for European
war service and returned to the Unit
co States by British officials is elo-
quent of the scale on which Canada
has drawn from this country in pro-
viding her quota of troops. 1T would
likewise indicate that the Canadian
authorities have not been over care
full in barring ineligibles from the
service. If 500 American youths man
ifestly under age are found by the
British officers il is clear that a good
many thousand of legal age or appar-
ent legal age must have passed mus
ter. They truth doubtless is that a
very large proportion Of those who go
TO the front as Canadian soldiers are
really young men from the States
seeking adventure IN those places Of
peril ever favored by inexperienced
and thOughtleSs youth. They are not
actuated by patriotism or by principle
but are merely soldiers of fortune and
il would seem that President Wilson
should make vigorous representations
to the Canadian government to termi-
nate what is manifestly wrong.

SHERIFF AT NEW
YORK WELL PAID

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-New York is
excited over her sheriffs again. Pc
riodicaIly there is a movement to send
these medieval officials the way of
the coroners. but nothing ever comes
of it. Nobody doubts we could save
quarter of million dollars a year by
abolish,ng the shrievalty but think OF
the deserving democrats and equally
deserving democrats who might suffer.
The sheriff gets One-half the fees of
his office. In 1914 this amounted to
$59,7O3.71. Besides this his salary

The sheriff in theory is superior to
the police commissioner and his TO-
600 men. But if he tried to give an
order at headquarters the door would
be slammed in his face.
The sheriff in theory can arrest the
mayor But if he tried to do so some
entirely unconstitutional bluecoat
would probably clap a couple Of
handouts on him and land him in
the psychopathic ward of Bellevue.

City officials. with the assistance of

the number of dilapidated and inse-

$4,000 LIBRARIES.

(NeW 1OIk 1lmeS).
Statistics just completed by the
United States bureau of education
show that there are more than $4,000
regularly established Libraries in the
United States, containing more than
100000 volumes. This represents
an increase OF 2O,0OO,0OO volumes
since 1908.
Of the 2.S49 libraries containing
5000 volumes or more, 1,S44 are clas-
sified as public and society Libraries, 3"
and zoos are school and college Ii
braries. Public and society Libraries
have an aggregate of more than So
100000 volumes. with 100000 Dor
rowers' cards in force; LAG of these
libraries were entirely free to the pub
lie.
Libraries reporting from 1000 to
5000 volumes, numbered 5,453, of
which 2,1SS were public and society
libraries and 1896 school Libraries.
These libraries contained 11,6S9,942
volumes. Another group of still small
er libraries comprising those that re-
ported from 800 to 1000 volumes, in
creased the total by 2,961, 007 vol
umes.
The distribution of library facilities
is still uneven. OF the 1874 public
and society libraries reported for the
entire United States, more than half
were in the North Atlantic states, and
they contained 24,627,921 volumes
out of the total of 100000 and of

HOUSEHOLD
TALKS
Henrietta D. Grauel
Porch Furniture

The "fxin' up" idea is absorbing
much of our attention as warm weather
approaches and it should not be con-
fined entirely to the interior of our
houses. The outside should be made as
attractive as possible and a reasonable
amount of work in yard and on porehes
will give large returns in comfort.
If a porch is too sunny the thing
to do is to arrange shade by the use
of vines, awnings or bamboo curtains.
These are not costly and, in the city,
answer two purposes, giving both shade
and privacy.
Hand made rugs are charming for
summer use on porch and in summer cot
tages. 1t is surprising more women do
not take up this useful, fascinating
handiwork. The necessary utensils and
dyes are not expensive to buy nor COM
plicated to use.
Whatever sort of rug you decide on
should be in harmony with the re-
mainder of the furniture, else your
porch will look like junk shop.
As willow furniture is very light to
move about, easy to dust and wears for
generation it is the most practical.
With it the Japanese mating may be
used and the effect will be cool in the
hottest weather.
To prolong the life of any rug that
must be taken up frequently it is a
good idea to sew four small brass rings
to the four corners of the rug. These
The star-independent. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1904-1917, 1915-04-07

rings are three cents dozen. Now put
two screw hooks in convenient place
on the porch wall exactly as far apart
as the ring is wide. When you wish to
wash or sweep the porch you fold the
rug together and place two rings over
each hook. Thus there is no need of
rolling a rug or of carrying it from
place to place.
Willow furniture may be cleaned
with a coarse brush dipped in strong
salt water, this strengthens the fibre
and prevents it turning yellow 1t is
not difficult to revarnish willow. How
ever, if it has never been painted or
vanished, but is natural rough finish,
you can use dye on it of any shade
and obtain beautiful results. You can
also brush hot dye over mating, when
it is worn, and it will take up the color
at once and look quite new.

FIRE THREATENS VILLAGE
Spark From sawmill Engine Causes
Blaze in Lancaster County

Lebanon, April IA spark from a
stationary engine in Morris Hollinger' 's
sawmill caused fire yesterday after.
noon in White Oak, Lancaster county
near the Lebanon county line, that
might have resulted in the destruction
of the entire town but for the combined
efforts of its populace to confne it to
the district that was affected.
A squad of men hurried to Penryn
and returned with a steam fire engine
and steady stream was secured from
nearby brook. The fire started short.
ly after noon and was not entirely out
until late in the day. Lumber in the
Hcllinger mill smouldered four hours
after the danger had been past.
