The library has now become a social
service organization" asserted the
speaker, land it's chief idea is to CO.
operate with all social service institu-
tlons to increase good citizenship. We
cannot properly do the work in the
main library now because of limita-
tions. We feel that we are now only
scratching the surface of the earth
for the work that we can do.
THE library gives to the children
not only IDEAS from books. but clean
illness and good order. The saloons are
to be blotted out soon, and the library
will take their places, because certain
classes of men, taken away from drink.
VIII come to the library with the idea
Of learning something and becoming
more efficient in their line of endeav-
ors.
THE circulation in books last year
was little short of million, and if
we had sufficient funds to develop
library work we could double that
amount"

undergo the examinations. Since the
breaking off of diplomatic relations
with Germany it has not been SO easy
for strangers to enter the navy yard.

the establishment of the uptown office.

trade such as machinist, coppersmith.

etc. he may be accepted il under thirty
wears of age. Boys under eighteen must

| skilled recruits are given a preliminary

Double Taxation.

To the Editor of The Star:
note with pleasure the stand you are
taking on the intangible tax PROPOSE
ton. There is another case in which
such tax will work hardship; if a man
has money held against a mortgage, he
is not likely to have it invested to any
advantage; the mortgage is due soon
and he holds it against the emergency
paying bonus, and he is taxed on the
money in bank or BUILDING and loan
stock and at the same time taxed on
his house for every cent that he has
agreed to put into 1t. This is a system
of double taxation which Is scarcely
fair, and does not encourage thrift

Reduction in Officers.

number of trained officers.
The committee in adopting this anti
preparedness amendment rejected bill
introduced by Representative Tilson OF
Connecticut who served as colonel of a
RATIONAL Guard regiment on the border
"Col Tilson's bill would not only re-
duce the expenses to the government
for the future increments OF the army
but would make it necessary for an
