Swapping tompedoes to. please baby
That's grapdfathers Fourth of July.
Riding sir Ronald, fearless and

Taking the youngsters to see the

Treating to peanuts and such de-

Buying sky rockets, balloons and

And sending Them off amid joyous

That's fathers Fourth of July.
Dreaming of horns before it is light,
Waking to toot one with all his

Firing of crackers, score upon score,
Making more racket than ever be-
fon'e;
Up TO all mischief early and late,
That ever was known to boy of
eight,
That's Tomnays Fourth of July.
Dressing the children i'm best ARRAY,
To view the procession this gala day
Patching burned places in jacket
and shoe,
kissing the cheek where the powder
flew;
Bamdaging Tommy from foot to

And seeing him FINALLY safe in bed
That's mothers Fourth of July.

CALLS TAKOMA LIBRARY
TOO Big FOR LOCALITY
Boweman Says $40, 900 Branch Should
Have Been Erected Elsewhere.

George F. Bowerman, librarian of the
! Public Library, in an address before the
Chevy Chase Citizens Association last
night, questioned the wisdom of construct
ing a $4,000 branch library in Takoma
Park and said that he had opposed the
recommendation of the trustees Of the
Public Library for the establishment of
this branch at the time it was under
consideration, several years ago.
He declared that the small constituent
Cy in Takoma Park did not Justify such
an expenditure for a library, and that
II part of that money had been used for
the construction OF a larger school build
ing there, which Is now very much need
ed IT would have been OF vastly greater
benefit to the community.
Mr.. BOwerman developed the idea Of
extending the work Of the library by
establishing branches in all the public
schools and having a few branch build
ings where they are really needed.
The association adopted a resolution
recommending that Congress appro-
pirate sufficient funds to carry out the
program of the library's trustees OF pub
lie library development, including proper
support OF the main library, separate
branches where needed. and branches in
the public school buildings"

The increase in the high cost of living
received decided boosts yesterday when
eggs reached 50 cents a dozen, with 81
cited as the price for the near future,
and when bread was said to be rapidly
approaching the figure of 20 cents a loaf.
The rise In the price of milk to 10 cents
quart added to the days developments.
A number OF Washington housekeep-
Crs were forced to pay cents apiece for
eggs yesterday with marketmen fearing
that the condition of the New York mar
ket would be reflected here This may
{ mean that eggs will rise to 81 a dozen
during the winter.
Allen Louis Benson, the Socialist candi-
date for President, yesterday predicted
that unless Congress declares a food en-
barge, bread will reach the price of q
cents a loaf. The truth is" said Ben
son, that it profits the food spectators
to strip the country OF its food for ex-
port. AS a result the cost Of food is ris-
ing every week"
All danger of milk strike seems to
have been averted by the action Of most
of the Washington dealers yesterday in
raising the price OF milk l cent a quart.
While some of the dealers claim that
they have signed no agreement to meet
the producers terms, they admit that
they are at present paying at the rate OF
a cents a gallon, which Is the amount
demanded by the producers.
