The discrimination, if such a term
might be used in this sense, is adj
mitted, but for the above reasons,
and it is claimed not unjustly. There
were very few Spaniards in New
Britain a year ago while many men
with a greater claim on the city,
who have lived here for years, are
looking for work.
Mayor o. F. Curtis and other local
officials are lending their aid and in

who wanted work has been able
to obtain it. OF the approximate
700 Spaniards residing in the city,
nearly 400 have been hired to work
in the fields and there is not Span
lard in New Britain today out of
job, in his opinion.
There does not seem to be so much
danger of the city being flooded with
Spanish residents when the tobacco
crop is harvested as it is said many
of the men now being employed in
the fields have been offered work all
the year around.

The reason Spaniards are pre-
ferred in this work, according to the
statement of the speaker is because
they are experienced hands, having
all had more or less experience in
their own country, and that this is
the kind of work which appeals to
them.
The statement that there is not a
Spaniard in the city out of work, is
questioned by some who are in touch
with the situation. 1t is thought
there must be a few who have not
found work, or else the first figures
were grossly exaggerated. At the
charity department in City hall it is
stated that there are very few new
appeals for aid being received now
from Spanish people.
1t is probable that the ajority of
Spaniards who are able bodied have
found work in the tobacco fields.

MANY YACATI0NISTS
GET BOOKS BY MAIL
Special Vacation Privileges at
Library Brings Many Calls

With the vacation season on in full
swing, many people now out Of town
are taking advantage OF tho vacation
privileges at the local library and are
having books mailed them while away
from home. While no attempt has
been made to tabluate the number
of books Which have been sent out
and returned this way, it is stated
that quite a few PACKAGES have been
mailed during the present summer.
With tho special vacation privil-
eyes, the time limit on books sent out
by mail is at the discretion of the Ii
prarian who sends them. While the
privilege includes all kinds Of books,
it is not expected that 7-day books
will be mailed out Of town. People
who are away from home for the
summer, usually are expected to re-
turn the books within three months.
II they have books that are in much
demand. they may ne requested by
the librarian to return them sooner.
In this case, failure TO return them.
involves tho charging OF the usual
five cents per week for books kept
over the time limit.
Most request for books to be read
on vacation are from. people who do
not go far away. Usually they are
from campers, those who are living in
cottages, summer hotels, etc. People
motoring long distances do not seem
to desire them. School teachers es-
pecially, often send in for books.
Very few novels are asked for by
vacationists. This seems somewhat
surprising, but nevertheless is a fact
that out Of eight PACKAGES shipped
out, only one novel was included.
Books on biography, travel ESSAYS,
poetry, League of Nations, Peace con-
ference, and general discussions on
current topics are most popular
among men vacation1sts for books
and technical books which Interest
men only, seldof are sent out Of town.
The reason for this is explained by
the fact that men usually take hasty
week or two away from business and
do not have. time to read while on va
cation, while many women, especial
Iy school teachers, go away for the
summer.
The library is proud of tht record
that not a single book has been lost
under the special vacation privilege.

RUSSIAN CONDITIONS.
Railroad Situation is Especially Bad
In That Country.

Warsaw, July 29.-Russia's trans
portation difficulties, because of the
general deterioration of the railroads
under the Bolshevik regime, accord
ing to Moscow reports, have brought
about an odd situation. While south
ern Russia has a surplus of corn and
has been endeavoring to export it to
Italy, northern Russia has been buy
ing the same kind of grain from for
eign countries.
The railroad situation is said to be
particularly bad in central Russia and
only recently it was reported that the
service between Moscow and Kiev had
been reduced to an average of one
train a week for feight and passen-
gers.
Russia's metal production is report
ed to have reached but two per cent
of the pre-war figures, the coal pro-
duction about 20 per cent and the
oil production 40 per cent.

HISTORIC LANDMARK
 RAzED BY FLOOD

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 3-Among old land marks which disappeared partially with the recent flood here, was the "Quinta'' better known as the first post office on Dwyer avenue in this city It was built some 160 years ago, and ranked with the Alamo in claim to more historic events in the city's past.
 The structure was stone. It stood on the bank of the river just across the street from the courthouse. About year ago it was condemned to be razed to make room for widening Dwyer avenue, but before the order was carried out the flood started the removal. The foundation crurnp1ed and one end and side of the building is a mass of ruins.
 Deeds show the "Quinta'' was built in 1761. In 1914 it was confiscated by a Spanish general who had sacked the outpost and was used as a prison for more than 600 American women and girls who were forced to grind corn and perform other labor.
 It next entered the 1imelight of Texas history when it was selected as the first postoff1ce for San Antonio, about 1849. Then it was the property of John Bowen, the first postmaster It remained in~ the family since. For the past few years it was the home of several Mexican families and one or two small business enterprises. The slots cut in the massive doors in which to drop 1eterS remained until the last
