R%ollicking comedy Of the most en-

Joe Hurtig's THE Social Maids who
on Monday will appear at the Majestic
theatre, appearing in a two-act bur-
lesque by Leo Mcdonald entitled
They're At 1t Again." This amusing
vehicle tells an interesting story about
an eccentric inventor of crooked ma
chimes who, with his assistant, Dup
py" Dan, plot to steal some diamond
buckled carriers from the prima
donna of The Shimmie Follies."
They succeed il getting the carriers
but a clever sleuth Is put upon their
trail and they have O. fine time try
ing to escape his clutches. They have
some close calls and many narrowing
adventures and. in the end, the detec-
tive RECEIVERS the carriers and finds
out who the real culprits are. Among
the many amusing situations are two
which show the training quarters for
a big fight between "Dippy' a and
an Unknown" and an actual fight
scene, both of these portions of the
show being marked by good comedy
play. Among the principals who
shine throughout the production are

BIC GROWTH At
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Circulation for 1919 Was 1885,
946 Volumes Annual Report

Reports for January and February
and the annual report of the librarian
were received by the trustees OF the
public library at their meeting last
night. A considerable decrease in
circulation was noted for the first two
months of this year. but this was ac-
counted for by the condition of the
weather. In the children's depart
ment. however, the decrease was due
mainly to the lack of new books, ac-
cording to the librarian. The annual
report showed a healthy growth for
1919 over the previous year although
in 1918 the library was closed from
October 5 to November IL.
The total circulation of books for
1919 was 105,946 volumes as against
S3,T75 for 1918. This was divided as
follows: Main library, 99,764; branch
library in Brace avenue, 6,1S2. Dur
ing the year there were 1,753 mem
bership cards issued. The number
OF volumes added totaled 1896. The
total number of volumes discarded
was S5S. In January 1920 h library
contained 1929 volumes.
The total number of daily readers
utilizing the reading room was
1884.
In January Of this year the report
shows g. falling off in the circulation
Of books at the main library of 1,673
as compared with January Of last
year. At the branch library there
was an increase Of 1873 over the jan
uary of the year before. No books
were added during January.
For February the decrease as
compared with February 1919 was
1.105, the total circulation for Feb
ruary 1920 being 1852. At the branch
library the circulation increased from
4O7 in February 1919 to 730 this year
being a jump Of 323 volumes. Dur
Ing February there were ESQ books
added to the shelves.
As the library is now open on all
but four holidays during the year,
they being Christmas, New Years.
Fourth of July and Thanksgiving,
compensation for the staff and jani-
tor at 50 each for holiday service was
fixed.
New closets in the basement and
a new magazine rack for the reading
room were authorized.
