Report of Trustees of
Belfast Free Library.

Tothe Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Gentlemen: The Trustees of the Lii
brary have the pleasure to report that
another year of prosperity and useful
ness has attended the Institution.
Our very efficient Librarians report
leaves but little to be added. There are
a few things, however, which we would
call to your attention. First of all, the
ever growing need of more room, both
for shelving and patrons, the space for
quiet reading and research which so many
wish to avail themselves of, being very
inadequate.
We feel that at this time we should
mention the very generous gift of Mrs.
Annabelle Swan Kelley of $1,000 Lib r
ty Bond in memory of her father, the
late William B. Swan, one of our oldest
and most respected citizens who passed
away last year. He was from early man
hood always interested and ready to give
of his time and money toward any move
ment for the uplift of our city. Most of
our Institutions, our Library included, are
indebted to him for his wise council and
benevolence and we are sure that all of
us have been made better by his example
and influence.
In October your Trustees thought it ad-
visable to invest $500 which was on de-
post in the Belfast Savings Bank and
the City National Bank in the second
issue of per cent Liberty Bonds Other
wise the funds remain as at the beginning
of the year.
We cannot close without a word of
praise for your most capable and hard
worked Librarian. With her ever in
creasing duties as the Institution grows,
both in volumes and usefulness; giving of
her very best with no complaint and at
the same remuneration established many
years ago, and your Trustees have voted
to increase her salary for the coming
year to 5000.
Respectfully submitted,
SELWYN THOMPSON.
Chairman Library Trustees.

Britain Leans to Decimal System.

The movement in England looking
toward the adoption of the decimal
system for currency, which has the
backing of the Associated Chambers of
Commerce of the United Kingdom, is
gaining ground. The London Statist
states that the association has resolved
to press the matter upon the attention
of the government and to urge the in
PRODUCTION of a bill in parliament. 1t
is proposed to retain the sovereign as
standard value of thousand mills, the
half sovereign 500 mills, the four shil-
ling piece 200 mills, the two-shilling
piece or form 100 mills, the half
form. commonly known as the shilling,
so mills, and the siNpence % mills. OF
subsidiary coinage it is recommended
to coin ten-mill pieces and tive-mill
pieces. Below these it is suggested
that four-mi three-mill and two-mill
piece also be coined, and if found de-
sirable coin representing one mill.
AS the farthing is so little used it is
not regarded as likely that anything
below the value of half penny will be
coined.

The Kitchen in War Time.

The private kitchen has got to go.
1t is scarcely possible to doubt that
now. With gas and fuel at their pres
ent prices, and likely to mount stead
ily higher, the great majority as winter
advances, will certainly be driven to
living in one room. The economy eff
fected by that simple measure will be
enormous, and it entails no very Sc
rious hardship, given satisfactory ar
rangement of the. cooking problem.
That problem could be practically
solved tomorrow by the voluntary sur
render, even in a very limited degree,
of the domestic isolation in which the
British family lives. If every two
households agree to dine together only,
it would be more than half solved. 1t
is a matter in which the merits of
voluntary system over any compulsory
arrangement are more obvious even
than usual. But if the public contin-
ues to set it's face obstinately against
it, the compuNsion will certainly come.

AMUSING PIECE OF NERVE"
How Cool lmpudence of Young British
Naval Officers Relieved Ten
sion of Situation.

In "Facing the Hindenburg Line"
by Burris A. Jenkins, may be found
number of incidents in which naval
men prove their GOODNESS and herOism.
Nobody knows all the stories of cool
ness and heroism among the naval
men, says the author. We shall not
learn them till the war is over, but
here is one that perhaps the censors
will allow to go by. 1t was told by
medical officer who was aboard the
Franc0nia when she was sunk acting
as transport.
1--WE had five or six naval officers
aboard. They We're sitting in the
smoking room-remember the smoking
lounge in the old Franconia? 1t was
very long, as long as this dining room
and twice as broad. They had just
ordered whisky sodas. Suddenly there
was an explosion and the steel floor
of the smoking room just buckled up
and burst apart in the middle of the
ship. One of those officers called the
steward and said:
"I ask you to witness, steward, that
we have paid for these whisky sodas
and have not had time to drink tneIn.'
"Then the rascals went below, got
on their lifebelts, came back again,
asked the steward for a big sheet of
foolscap, wrote out long, we the
undersigned setting forth that they
had ordered six whisky sodaS, for
which they had paid nine shillings,
with siXpence tip, and had not been
allowed to drink them. Thereupon they
entered claim against the British
government for the nine shillings and
siXpence, with accrued interest from
date. Then they walked in a body up
to the bridge and handed it to the skip
per. The old man told me afterward
he never was so grateful to anybody
as to these cool young devils for the
steadying and bucking up influence of
their impudence.'

Absorbent Cotton Twice Used.

Through the ingenuity of French
chemist who was struck by the fact
that in the military hospitals of Paris
alone about 400 pounds of absorbent
cotton was used daily, process has
been developed which makes it posi-
BILE to use soiled cotton second time.
The first step is the removal of all
grease by boiling ten or twelve hours
in soda solution, or by treating 1t
under pressure for three hours in a
sealed container filled with the same
solution. After this the cotton is thor
oughly washed in a machine and all
the moisture removed by placing it in
a high-speed centrifugal drier. Drying
is followed by bleaching with hypo-
chlorine of lime and a second washing
and drying. Finally the purified pro-
duct is carded, packed and again ster-
ilized.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

there were no lights in the humidors of

Belfast Free Library.

BELFAST, MAINE, March 1, 1918.
To the Trustees of the Belfast Free Lii
brary:
have the honor to submit the thirtieth
annual report of the Belfast Free Library.
The year which has passed has demon
strated that modern public library re-
fleets in the books added and in it's activ-
tiles the interests of it's community. AS
in Libraries throughout the country, the
Belfast Free Library has in the past year
shared the war work of Belfast in addl-
ton to fulfilling the purpose of its founder
for promoting education and providing
entertainment for the people. Books
about the war have been purchased and
lists published in the local papers. The
literature furnished by the Food Admin
istration has been distributed from table
especially provided in the reading room,
and their posters have been conspicuous
ly placed about the building. A box for
receiving contributions to the Ctlldren's
Tin Box Fund is kept at the delivery desk
which has received generous attention
from patrons of the Library A poster
announcing the working hours of the
local chapter of the Red Cross, also has
prominent place at the delivery desk,
and many knitted articles solicited at the
desk, have been delivered at the rooms.
Recently, too, the Library has undertaken
the sale of War Savings Stamps. In Oc-
tober five packing boxes containing 175
books and many hundred magazines, con-
tributed by people of Waldo county, were
sent to a training camp and the Library,
without difficulty, collected $3.50 90, rep
resenting five per cent of the population
of Belfast, its quota of the one million
dollar fund to build and equip libraries at
the training camps.
Registration.
The number of names on our reglStTa-
ton file is 2,O93 This record was begun
June /, 1916 and includes, besides the
new names added since that date, the
names of people who had previously
taken library cards and were known to
be living in Belfast at that time. The
number of registrations since March l,
1917 was 226 AS 1877 registration slips
have been cancelled because of death or
change of residence, the number of cards
in use is 1866.
Circulation.
AS in many other libraries this year,
we find decrease In circulation. IhlS
seems attributable to new interests which
have attracted many who formerly spent
more time in reading. Ladies, who, IN
other years read for recreation, or used
library books for work for study clubs,
in 1917 have devoted all time possible to
Red Cross work. Automobiles IN sum-
mer, and moving pictures In winter, may
also account for the smaller circulation

czarina is deeply scheming, intri-
guante who had ambiguous relations
with Rasputin and aimed at the sue

had adopted by marriage as her own.
1t is only necessary to cast my mem

the shy, reserved simple child well
enough to realize that she had not

of intrigue. Residence at Rucking-

eve that nothing could possibly es-
cape. did not make for striking indi-
viduality, nor did the quiet simple
ity of the German home, and the prin-
cess grew up beneath the double bur
den of surveillance and etiquette
sharing the quiet intellectual life OF
an adored mother. Yet she had GER
tain measure of high spirits, loved
tennis and dancing, and having tuned
her life to play its small part in the
great household orchestra, seemed
happy enough.-The Bookman.
