hobart Township Branches.
The Hobart library administered by
the Gary library has the following men
ton:
Branches: A decided gain IS shown in
most of the branches which are as fol-
lows: Hobart. Miller. East Gary. Toll
lesion. Griffith. Ross. Merrillville. En-
erson. and Bailey The library at Ho-
bart has had very successful year. be-
coming in a real sense a center of COM
munity interest. The circulation was
2S.6s2. and zoos persons attended 147
meetings in the social rooms. The Ii
brary in the Emerson school sustained Il
loss Of space but made an increase in
the amount or service rendered. The
branch in the Froebel school. hence
forth the Bailey branch. was greatly
handicapped on removal to smaller
quarters during the construction OF tho
new building. The new building Will
prove a great stimulus to wider use
and larger and more accessible collec-
ton of foreign books should increase
their use This new structure should
also become a reinforcement toward
better American citizenship The IL
braries at Miller and East Gary were
placed in new and better quarters in
'1e17. and the increased use shows ap-
preciation.
StationnI
There are ten deposit stations and
seveteen circulating stations. Through
these 1926 books were loaned. Books

Deuce That Determines
Sex Reported DISCOVERED

san Francisco, Cal, Nav IA Sc
cret device that VIII indicate the sex
Of any living organism has been in
vented by a local chemist The in
strument consists Of a globe Of secret
composition suspended by a sillzen
fiber. In applying the device the globe
IS suspended above the subject If
the organism is male II swings in a
circle. II the subject is female the
globe swings back and forth like the
pendulum Of a clock
The device was first tried on eggs
in an incubator. over 90 percent
Of the eggs Matched out as indicated
by the invention. Then other expert
ments were made in a butcher shop.
The globe indicated the sex OF the
cuts Of meat and dried blood. and has
even determined the sex OF a child
before birth.
The new instrument will be very
valuable in the apprehension Of Grim
inals, owing to the flexible detection
of the sex Of blood. A local detective
agency is now investigating the in
vention.

Vow. wonder where 7 can find

it would only rain again. that would
