 "The Camera Man. is a fact-story that reads like romance, telling what men can do. what men are doing ev cry day, with the black box with the unpreiudiced eye. A book full of en tertafnment and information for the general reader interested in adventure and popular science and of very special value for the amateur photography, to whom it offers many ideas for the en- fiching of his experiences with the camera.
 Most people do not realize what . large and important work the camera does today, into how many and what various spheres of activity 1t has been called. MT. Collins knows his subject intimately, and he presents it with simplicity, completeness, and charm as we'll as with scrupulous accuracy.

CHLOE MALONE. '"


 By Fannie Heaslip Lea, Illustrations by F. Graham Cootes. Little, Brown X Co, publishers, Boston.
 Her name was Chloe Malone. she lived in New Orleans and she had all the vivac- ity and charm of the real old family southern girl. She possessed youth, breeding nd beauty. What then, she said, did 1t matter If money were lack ing-why shouldn't she marry a million aire? According to her notion she not only should-for the sake of her mother but she could and would. And then, on her way to her debut at the old French opera house, She met an adventure she had not counted cn. Do you think that Chloe married the millionaire she met at the opera house later that same evening". or did she choose the poor entomologist who aroused her mentality by his con- tempt for the fashionable bitterly she seemed doomed to be? Fate, boil wee- wills, and her French godmother decided that. It is a very pleasing love story, witt vivacious dialogue and charming characters, and the New Orleans back ground, the atmosphere of the old French aristocracy, adds much to the attrac- uveness of the tale
 Oscar Wilde once said that When the gods wish to punish us they answer our prayers'-and the aphorism Is true in the case of Chloe Malone" whose prayers were undoubtedly answered.

 It could hardly be doubted that some novelist would write a great war story. And what is more logical than that it should be H. G. Wells? MT. Britling Sees It Through is work of profound interest and appeal which seeks to show what the gigantic conflict means to those who are in the midst of it. It is not a tale of terrible conditions at the front of the horrors of actual warfare, but is something deeper in its analysis of life

'U. S. GOVERNMENT
AGREES TO PROTOCOL
Wilson and Cabinet Decided to Accept
Carranza's Proposal for a Work
Agreement in Villa Pursit

| Washington, ID. c., March 2l.--Presi-
dent Wilson and his cabinet to-day de-
cided to accept the proposal for proto-
col between the United States and the
de facto government of Mexico for CO.
operation in the pursuit Of Villa and his
outlaws.
The terms of such formal convention
would be designed to meet all questions
which may arise in the future, setting
forth the rights of the American ex-
peditionary forces now in pursuit of the
bandit chieftain and the nature of the
cooperation expected from the troops Of
the Carranza government. These facts
became known at the conclusion of
conference between Eliseo Arredondo,
Mexican ambassador designate, and Act
ing Secretary Polk of the state depart
ment. Negotiations on the details WI
be in progress several days, but the two
governments are in agreement on the
general principles involved.
The proposal for the protocol, which it
is planned to remain in force until Villa
is captured came from Mr. Arredondo
and was direct result of the request
of the United States for permission to
use the railway between FL Paso and
Casas Grandes for the shipment of sup
plies to the American expeditionary
forces. Mr. Arredondo is understood to
have received instructions from General
Carranza to discuss the request with the
state department and to propose the
agreement by which complete under
standing will be had by both govern
ments.
While the convention will provide for
all matters such as the use of Mexican
railroads by American troops, the speci !
fic request for permission to ship supplies !
from FL Paso will be disposed of separ-
ately. General Carranza has asked for |
additional information on that subject 4

itely. State department officials de-
lined to discuss the nature of the infor-
nation desired, on the ground that while
negotiations are in progress they must

WILL BEGIN WORKING
QUARRY AT ONCE
Plan to Conduct Operations
on an Z .fsive

Following soon Ger its incorporation,
the Littlejohn & Milne Quarry Co., Inc,
of Barre formed an organization and
! purchased what was formerly known as
the Littlejohn Z Milne quarry on Mill
stone hill, the transfer having been com.
pleted last night and announcement of
the same being made to-day. The incor-
pomtors are Alex. Milne, Alfred c. Simp-
son, John p. Corskie and John C. Booth,
and the capital stock named in the ar
ticles of association is $4,000. The sale
of this quarry is the third large deal to
take place in Barre quarry realty within
a few months. The purchase was made
from Alex. Milne and the w. S. Little-
john estate.
The organization of the corporation
was completed by the election of the
following officers: President, Alex. Milne;
vice president, Alfred c. Simpson: treas
urer, John p. Corskie; clerk John c.
Booth. All the men named are actively
engaged in the granite business in this
city at the present time and are recog-
nized as substantial business men.
Their plans as to the operation of the
quarry are not fully completed, but they
stated to-day that just as soon as the
weather will permit they will begin
stripping the quarry for extensive opera
tions. The land consists of 81 acres To-
Gated on the Websteryille side of the
hill and up to the present time only
about three acres have been opened up.
The quarry was started by Littlejohn &
Milne l6 years ago and more recently
was operated by George Libersont. For
the past year, however, it has not been
worked. The stock is light and medium.
At the present time there is equipment
enough in the quarry to permit opera
tions on a considerable scale, and. in adj
dition there are sidings of the Barre &
Chelsea railroad into the pit, which viii
facilitate shipment just as soon as the
men get to work. Details as to the num-
Der OF men to be employed and the man
ager for the corporation have not as yet
been completed. The four officers above
named are the directors of the concern,
