Support the Library.

In a letter published elsewher
this mornings News a former
dent OF Brunswick brings TO the
tention of the public the lamenta
fact that only seyenty-six people
Brunswick are readers OF the bod
in the public library. This inform
ton will come as a revelation to ma
people. to some il will be shock
only seventy-six subscribers. An
those at but twenty-five cents pc
month. We confess we do not under
stand this apparent lack Of Interest
in one of our most valuable -isss5- IN
tions No doubt the advantages of our
public library have not been fully
realized by the hundreds of book low
crs in Brunswick.
Certainly there are more than this
number OF readers in brunswick, and
the rates at the local library are 50
reasonable that we cannot see why
there are not five hundred subscrib
ers instead of seyenty-six. This is a
matter which local people should look
into and act upon. We cannot expect
a library TO exist on such a pittancc
and local people should see to II that
this institution is given better sup.
port.
The literature on the shelves OF
the Brunswick library is of the high.
est class and no parents need fear to
let their children go to the library
to select books.
There are volumes of history and
classics by the worlds standard writ
ers. as well as the cream Of modern
fiction Any person who desires good
reading can be satisfied here and II
will be found much more economical
to pay twenty-five centh per month
for use of the books than to buy them
outright from tho book stores.
In many cities the library is sup
ported by endowmepts, but in this
city 1t is different. The city pro
vides a room in the city hall and con
tributes a small amount monthly; the
remainder of the funds must come
from the membership.
At the present rate. we fail to see
how the institution can survive and
unless the people come forward more
readily we would not be surprised &c
see the library closed.
There Is band of noble women
in Brunswick who are ever ready and
anxious to devote their time and theil
talents to meritorious causes, TO these
ladies we are going 20 make an APP

Victims of Sex Stories

Prevalence of vice among the youth
points unfailingly to the victim of
sex story. 1t would seem as though
the United States government might
with great advantage to the morals of
the youth establish a much more rigid
censorship through the postal require
ments to protect the youth from the
dissemination of the kind of literature
that is devoured by the young girls on
the street cars on their way to and
from work and at their dinner hours.
For 1t is to the young girl that these
morbid recitals of experience, bogus,
of course; confessions, bogus also;
stories orofessedly realistic, but actu-
ally out of accord with real life and
wholly disgusting, find appeal. Morals
are vitiated at their source by this

All or these were men whose names
were then connected with the progress
OF the city, who were proud of it's past
and had faith in its future. They 1t was
who made Steelton. Harrisburg money
brought the works to the plot along
tho railroad near what is now known
as the West Side and Steelton grew
up opposite the works and largely as a
result thereof
Mr.. Gilbert, in addition to this teIe-
gram and list, has, through the cour-
tesy of Senator Cameron, a transcript
of the minutes of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company covering the whole
transaction, including the framing of
the proposition to bring the mill here,
its acceptance and the transfer of a
decd of Henry A. Kelller and Ellen r.,
his wife, to the Pennsylvania Steel
Company for 4S acres, 2 rods and "a
perches, strict measure, consideration
S13, 3,11S.75," and the the same for
3s acres, 34 perches, consideration
s11, 1,46S.75. In addition the company
bought 5 acres additional of the Kel-
ker property at about $500 an acre.
On this ground the first rail mill in
the United States was erected and sur =
rounded by high, board fence so that
the secrets of the process would not
leak out.
So Steelton came into being. largely
by reason of Harrisburg capital, but
the ground was sold with the proviso
that If ever At was no longer used for
the manufacture of steel 1t should re-
vert to tho original subscribers.
Mr.. Gilbert reminded Mr.. Schwab of
this, showing him the aged papers,
and Mr.. Schwab replied
"Well, If that ground ever becomes
unfit for profitable steel making, we'll
be glad to hand it back to YOU"

America Prize Waster

America imports 100000 worth
of waste rags annually just to make
writing paper. About 100000 tons
of fax straw are burned or allowed to
go to waste in the States every year
but specialists in the Department of
Agriculture have shown that it can be
used for making paper and fiber board
Already a demand for $1,000, 900
worth of fax straw has sprung up
Once 1t was clear waste. Time was
when yellow brass turnings were en-
tirely unstable. Now they average 12
cents a pound. Old tinfoil brings SS
cents and siphon tops are worth 25
cents a pound. Bones fetch SIS ton
after everybody's picked 'em.
Arthur D. Little. of the United
States Chamber of Commerce. says:
I'VE waste 100000 tons of wood

lumber every year in old lead pencils

Real Preparedness
TKansas GIN Star.l


The comprehensive preparedness
that Mr.. Vanderlip urged in his ad-
dress to the American Bankers asso-
citation is coming more and more to
be recognized as a necessity il the Ma
tion is to play its part in the world af-
ter the war.
Under the discipline of the great
struggle the European nations have
been trained to efficiency as never be-
fore. Consider England alone. When it
began to get its workers under arms in
the early months of the war the pro-
duction of its factories was greatly
crippled and its surplus products
available for export were cut in two.
But such efficiency has developed that
in spite of the fact that Britain now is
supposed to have perhaps 8 million
men under arms and million more
engaged in the manufacture of NUM-
tions, the export trade has reached
normal proportions.
It Is competition with this sort of eff
ficiency that America must meet at
the wars end.
To meet 1t successfully the country
must develop all its resources. 1t must
look after the public health. 1t must
prove industrial insurance and work
mems compensation. 1t must meet the
problem of unemployment and seas
onal trades. AS Theodore Roosevelt
SAYS 1t must make America worth liv-
ing for to all it's citizens if they are to
feel that II is worth dying for.
Preparedness in character and in ef-
ficiency as we'll as in battle ships ar
tillery and military training, is the big
need of the United States to-day

the railroads of America were buying
their rails from Sheffield, England, and
bringing them over the Atlantic at
cost of about S125 a ton. 1t was
thought that the secret of Bessemer
steel might never be divulged, put

ing, "s1 900 was very. very large
sum, and $4,000 was what would be
called now predatory wealth" But
those back of the movement raised the
money and sent the following message
early on the morning of November %,

Pleasure Before Business

When a man marries woman with
money. his business usually begins to
head for the rocks. In the October
Womans Home Companion a writer
tells why. He says:
And there is another danger that
reaches out for a man who marries
money. and clutches him unless he be
of superhuman strength. He is lifted
by his wife's money out of the atmos-
phere of achievement. 1 have seen 1t
happen again and again.
