 CHARACTERIZATION
Children of Foreign born people Borrow Books to Teach Parents.

Children of foreign born parents are carrying on an Americanization work of their own through the medium of the New Britain Library Institutes children's department. This depart mcnt. in the basement of the main building is an educational institution of itself. During the winter regular classes are held here where the chill dren are told the stories they will read later in books.
 AS a result of this teaching. the chil- dren are borrowing the books and talk ing them home where they teach their parents to read them. This is especial ly noticeable in the large number of primers and other juvenile books be- ing called for. It was stated at the library this morning that the past win ter was the busiest in the history or that iastitution in all departments but more especially in the chisdren's de pslrtmcnt. This still keeps up and an unusually large number of new cards have been issued to children this month.
 Bring Parents.
 Another noticeable feature of the children's department and its Ameri- canization work is the fact that the children are beginning to bring their parents to the library. Parents of chil- dren speaking a foreign tongue. who heretofore have been backward and too tin,id to call at the library and ask for books. wherein they can learn the English language and the laws and customs of the United States of Ameri- ca. are being taught in a good many cases by their own children. Last month the children's department loaned out S.345 books. In addition the public and parochial schools had 7.OOOl more books from this department, which have been returned, making a total of 15,345 books loaned from this department at one time for public m- struction purposes. These books run all the way from reference books to | fiction. always written so children can them. Picture books and Mother Goose rhymes for younger chil- dren are found among the list.
 Need Another Branch.
 A branch library is needed in the vicinity of the Smith school district to ncconnodate foreign speaking citizens, their children and those who hope to become citizens. Many of the children | from this district and other outlying | sections are unable to come to the cen tral library alone and their parents usually have not the time to bring | them. As a result they lack the op- portunities possessed by children living closer to the center of the city.

The "Sink of Gold"

AS an old correspondent of yours on

tional, banking the gold which we sent
to the Orient Undin and China) may
find It's way to London" This view, a
most dangerous misconccption, has al
ready proved the parent Of infinite dis
astcr. Since In 1893, and in defiance
of every warning. England changed
the standard OF value In India from
silver to gold. we have pitched 25O,-
0O0,OOO gold sOvcrcigns into the small
boards of India, never to return, irrev-
ocably lost to western trade and the
exchange. That drain India being
now the "sink Of gold" has destroyed

Why Riaht Tires Wear.

Most motorists have noticed that
tires on the right side Of car wear
more than those on the left side and
many ascribe this to turning corners
to the right more than to the left.
But they are wrong, asserts an ex-
pert driver. The increased wear, he
says. Is caused by the pitch OF the
road, which throws more OF the car
on the right side than on the left.
The slope of the road causes the
right rear tire to carry more weight
than the left rear The same is true
OF the right front as against the left
front For this reason 1t Is advised
that tires he changed around once a
month. The order Of rotation de.
clarcd best IS right rear, lef. rear,
right front then left front.

Purple ore Now In Demand.

Purple ore Is an unknown quantity
to the uninitiatcd. TO the initiated 1t
Is a heavy purplish powder used chief
ly as ballast by ships leaving French
ports. SO little worth was attached
to the ore five months ago that 1t sold
In Bordeaux for 1850 francs ton.
Since then 1t has been put to new uses,
and. with the rise in demand, there
has been corresponding rise in price.
Purple ore has a rich iron content, and
that fact has been sufficient to prompt
English manufacturers to devise new
uses for the powder. It's sudden leap
into the llmclight Will perhaps stlmu-
late interest In the residue Of other
minerals, the possibilities Of which
may have been overlooked in the rapid
march OF all branches OF engineering.

LANGUAGE ENRICHED BY WAR
Great Conflict May BE Said In a Meas.
uro to Have RevoIutionized Our
Methods Of Speech.

1t Is generally admitted that the
war has revolutionizod methods OF
speech as 1t has revolutionized war
rare. The soldiers Of the trenches
nave added more words to the Ian
SunSc of simple men than would be
added in % years Of peace. "Strafe,"
"blighty," "cushy"-onc might fill n
page with the strange language which
has come into use.
The soldiers adopt slang as does a
schoolboy, and to use slang instead Of
ordinary words suggests certain de-
gree Of knowingncss and initiation. 1t
also appeals to the sense of humor.
and as the soldiers become hardened to
warfare they thrust aside emotions
ana talk slang to avoid the old forms
OF speech which might cause them to
think too much.
The American who called Il GENE.
terry "bOne orchard" revealed a bit
or imagination and at the same time
concealed his real feelings. The sol
dier who tells you that at the moment
of danger he "crcpt into the tall
grass" means that he slipped away
ana made himself invisibe-nnd he
mas coined an image rs we'll as
phrase.
Together with the slang words and
phrases must be mentioned the new
words coined or old words used In n
new way. A large number Of words
has developed from the use Of air

suit plane, bombing plane. enpcnnage

OF these are laisOn (co-operation) be-
tween forces; barragc, camounage, lis
