 CONTINUE FREE
Board of Managers Believe That Public Wish UnhaInpered Service

The directing board of the New Britain Institute met last evening to consider ways and means for con- ducting the library service offered to New Britainites under the appropria- tion as allowed by the city budget which Was pruned by the Taxpayers association. It was agreed that it library at anywhere near the stand ard that has been the custom in the past with the $16,0OO allowed, but it was decided that the service must not be impaired, as it would be were the city money refused and sub ScrOtion scn0mo .'-"0"> - . |' quently it was voted to keep up the lnStItu,l~n II as Io..es >,<; 10 .-. ....- the present plan. and to borrow mon- eff if necessary
 In taking the vote the following resolution was adOpted:
 Whereas, The New Britain Institute is an institution free to the public in all of it's departments and a great help in the educational affairs of the city by the free distribution of its books in the schools and inh the homes of our citizens and a force of the greatest value in the Americanl- zation of our people, and
 Whereas, Its affairs always man. aged with strict economy can be shown to have been conducted with the smallest number of employees pos sible and at wages less than paid for similar ability in any branch of pri- vate or municipal employment. and
 Whereas, no criticism on this point has ever been made or can now be justified, and
 Whereas, the funds which have been allotted by the city to the main tenance of the New Britain institute are inadequate for 8 continuance of it's service to the community, and
 Whereas, the discontinuance of that service will be great detriment to the general welfare: therefore,
 Be it Resolved by the board of managers of the New Britain Institute that the work of the institution shall be carried on as before in all it's de- partments and as economically as pos sible; that the funds which are neces- sary to finance it over and .. above those allotted by the city shall'be bor- rowed by the directors and applied to that purpose.
 Resolved further that the board of managers have every confidence that the people of the city will at the proper time see that such money so borrowed and used in their interest is repaid by the city.
 Be it Resolved further that these resolutions be published in the papers of the city that the whole people whom the institute serves may know what action has been taken and why, and that such action has been taken in na anta gonistic spirit but in d spirit Of service in full confidence that the sober Judgment of our citizens will justify such a course.
 The board of managers is composed of A. J. Sloper, president: c. F. Smith. vice president; F. W. Chamber lain. treasurer: Marcus White. secre- tary and H. s. Walthers W. F. Brooks. B. H. Cooper. F.

Sheep Are High-Class
Weed ExterminatOrS

Did you ever stop to think of the
value of a flock of sheep as a weed
exterminating agency? A flock Of
sheep on the farm is worth as much
in the destruction of weeds as a man
with a team and cultivator or weeder
throughout the growing season, says
the Bureau of Animal Industry, Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture.
There is big difference between
cultivating weeds out or sleeping them
off Cultivating or moving is expen-
sive and you get nothing but little
haImus added to the soil. Sheep, on
the other hand, turn your weeds into
wool and mutton, while valuable ma
nure is added to the fields as ferti
lizer.
Not only do sheep add to the value
of the farm by destroying weeds and
improving fertility, but they produce
two sources of revenue each year
wool in the spring and lambs in the
fall.

Alcohol May Be
Fuel of the Future

The fuel of the future seems likely
to be alcohol And the very near
future at that.
AS Prof. Alexander Graham Bell
said the other day: "No sooner has
King Alcohol gone out of the back
door as a beverage than he enters tht
front door in triumph as a fuel"
Important beginnings in this direc
ton have already been made. Expert
mental alcohol engines have been built
and have proved highly satisfactory
Automobiles can be run by alcohol
perfectly well, with slight modification
of their machinery.
The technologic branch of the
United States Geologic Survey has
recently tested slightly modified
gasoline engine, with alcohol as fuel
and has obtained some highly intel
esting results. The alcohol proved to
possess a fuel efficiency equal to that
of gasoline-rather paradox, one
might say, inasmuch as it has only
half the heating value. But this is
explained by the fact that its combus'
ton is far more complete, so that 1t
yields as much power as does gasoline.

Modesty
Wins In Paris

The regular weekly fashion Letter
from Paris says that the stay of the
dangerously short skirt and the es-
tremely decolette evening gown, has
passed. The writer says:
The horror expressed at the extreme
lack of clothes for evening, and even
street wear, leads me to hazard a
guess, which, think will come true
by the time this reaches America.
Paris has begun to retrace her steps
in this direction. True, she could not
have gone much farther, and, as fash
ions never stand still. there was only
one thing to do, and that was to
search for her poor lost modesty
again. 1t is the men themselves who
are responsible for this conversion,
have reason to believe. Only. the
other night, while at dinner at the Am
