STATE LIBRARIAN PRESENTED WITH
 VALUABLE BOOKS

State Librarian Con r. Cronin, who has just returned from visit to rela- tives in New England, is the proud pos sessor of several books, said to be the rarest volumes ever brought into the state of Arizona. They were all prirt- ed several hundred years ago, and from an historical standpoint are invaluable.
 One of the books was written by the Rev. William Langley in London, Eng land and was printed in 1865. It is entitled "The Prosecuted Minister" and deals with religion in all the deep and fearsome aspects of that age. It is copiousiy embelished with "Firstlys" |" "Secondlys." and on up the numbers for several yards. The book was once the property of the venerable New England statesman, Joseph Butter worth, whose signature appears on the fly-leaf
 Another of the books is little younger. It is a bound volume of the London Magazine for the year 1765. It gives a very complete account of the celebration of the fiftieth anniver- sary of the death of William Shakes peare. There is a great deal of space devoted to the Bard of avon Inciden- tally it might be mentioned that at that time there existed the Bacon Shakespeare controversy. The writers

Tomorrow, Marie Walcamp, "the

here in the Gold Seal three-reel mys-

There is action galore, with couple
of fights, races, and so on. A fea-
ture OF the picture is Marie Walcamps
thrilling ride on a motorcycle. She
has to overtake an auto which is
rushing to the prison to lynch her
lover. There is absolutely no fake
about the speed with which Marie
travels. She rushes by at a mile
minute, disregarding the shots that
are fired at her. But then this is to
be expected when Marie Walcamp is
in a picture, as she is the most in
trepid of all the moving picture ac-
