The Library's Needs

New York is proud of its public
library as marble show place in
Fifth Avenue. 1t also finds pleas
ure in the occasional glimpses of
quiet book-lined Ravens on the side
streets where it fancies the for
eigner and the schoolboy find litera-
ture to inspire and nurture their
souls. But when the New Yorker
wants to read for himself the new
books of science or history--tc say
nothing of the great new controver-
sial pieces of fiction--he is excep-
tionally fortunate if he finds what
he seeks at the public shelf. The
worlds store of classics is there for
the asking, but too often the volumes
are worn and soiled to degree that
offends beyond endurance.
This state of affairs is neither in
evitable nor irremediable. The re-
sponsibility lies simply in the fact
that New York spends too little on
its public library. 1t spends less
than thirty-two other cities in the
United States, according to figures
made public in the appeal of the.
board Of trustees Of the Public
Library to the Board of Estimate,
asking for an increased appropria-
ton for next year. Cleveland has a
per capita appropriation Of 1924,
Boston of 1913 cents, Pittsburgh Of
sS.2 CENTS Kansas City Of 1876

Clernenceau's Visit

Clemenceau has so far resisted the
temptation to write his war me-
naoirs. He has not even, except
through his friend Tardieu, pubs
lished defense of his peace treaty
activities. He has the wisdom, per-
haps, to let his case rest until it can
be stated to another generation, less
Influenced by the personal animosi-
ties and prejudices which affect Eu-
ropean and American Judgment to-
day.
He is willing, however, to come to
the United States and give our peo-
pie his views as to the rights and
duties of the countries which won
the war and are responsible for the
peace settlements. He will be well
coined here. Our people remember
him as the organizer Of victory, the
scourge of defeatism in France and
the intrepid old man to whose pro-
gram, 81 fight" the French people
were rallied after an interlude of de-
preston and weakness. He was one
of the great leaders in The war.
Americans esteem him for that. So
do the French still, although they
are as yet unwilling to forget what
they consider his errors in the peace
conference.
Keynes said in one of his books
that President Wilson was "bam-
boozled" at Paris. But it was Gle
menceau who was really bamboozled.
He sought guarantees for France
against the possibility of further
German aggression. In the French
view he was led by Lloyd George and
Wilson to exchange real guarantees
for unreal ones. What was the Tri-
partite Alliance promise worth?
What a tragedy for France has been
the provision in the treaty leaving
the amount of German Preparations
indefinite!
Nearly all of Frances troubles in
the last three years have come from
Clemenceau's willingness to accept
shadow instead of substance. What
defensive value for France has the
League of Nations? Clemenceau was
q ''Tiger" in domestic politics and in
war, but he trimmed his claws be-
fore going to the peace table. He
was also atrociously misled as to
American majority sentiment on the
treaty and this country's willingness
to redeem Mr.. Wilson's promises as
peace commissioner.
Will he talk here on any of these
subjects? Maybe SO; maybe not.
He will not speak for the Poincare
ministry, which looks on him as one
Of the architects of Frances present
misfortunes. But, whatever he says,
Americans will gladly listen to him.
They have a kindly spot in their
hearts for old Pere Victoire, the uni.
fer of France and the relentless
prosecutor of Bolo, Malvy and
Caillaux.

The impeachment Season

"About this time look out for inn
parchment proceedings against Re
publicans in The New York World, .
says, or might say, the almanac. I'M
parchment" is not word that sober
minded citizens fling about lightly,
and in ordinary seasons "The World"
would not be so silly as to talk OF
impeaching Mr.. Daugherty for his
strike injunction. But there is a
campaign brewing; there are lively
Democratic hopes of carrying the
House of Representatives, and the
more noise the better. Never mind
it's quality. "Impeach Mr.. Daugh-
ertylp
There was, of course, no possible
reason for this shrill concern over a
temporary injunction. If its lam
guage was too broad there would be
ample opportunity to limit it at the
hearing to make the injunction per-
manent. Most injunctions are thus
whitfield down when both sides have
been heard. Mr.. Daugherty has de-
MED any intent to interfere with the
constitutional right of free speech,
and those sections of the order sus-
ceptible of any such Interpretation
can readily be clarified and most GER
tainly will be if on careful examine
tion they fairly hold any such mean
ing.
With the main intent of the in
junction there can be no possible
quarrel by any American who thinks
the country is bigger than it's unions.
It raised boldly and clearly the ques-
ton whether the government of the
United States must sit supinely by
while violence and threats of violence
and conspiracy disorganized the rail-
roads of the country and brought the
entire population within sight of
cold, hunger and financial disaster.
Whatever errors of detail Mr..
paugherty may have made, his broad
challenge to the unions was sound
law and sound Americanism. AS
such The Tribune supported the
move and as such the American peo-
pie have supported the move. II has
Killed the bugaboo of general strike
Cor a good while to come. It has
prepared the public mind for facing
OF the problem involved in that
threat and the devising of a defense
thereto. 1t has undone at least some
OF the mischief wrought in the minds
Oh union labor by the Adamson act.
All that is something, and it will
Dc remembered good long while
after the impeachment proceedings
brought by "The New York World,
against the Attorney General of the
United States have stirred their last
smile.

Wood Alcohol Manufacture

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Str: You had an editorial in The
Tribune of September castigating the
manufacture of wood alcohol for
drinking purposes" There is no wood
alcohol made for drinking purposes.
All wood" alcohol is made as a by
product of the destructive distillation
of wood, which is simply the making
of charcoal.
If some people are fools enough to
drink a. poison, don't see why you
should blame the manufacturer any
more than You would blame the maker
of coke if some fool killed him
self drinking ammonia. The making of
coke is the destructive distillation of
coal.
"Grain" alcohol is formed from
sugars by fermentation-ra bacteriologi-
cal process. 1t is then driven off by
heat, without change. Destructive dis
tiilation changes the components of the
wood or other substance and drives
them off. PHILIP DE WOLF

More Truth Than Poetry

The Biters Bitten

A&S AIAeNAo LlttCi1
On learning that all the mosqui-
toes
Within a few days were de-
stroyed
In lakelets and pools where mill
tant schools
Of bug eating fish were en-
ployed,
We purchased a litter of min
nOWs
And sowed them all over the
place.
Where water was found, to go
hustling around
The myriad pests to efface
We waited with grim satisfaction
Till the minnows their harvest
should reap,
And at last we should find, when
they freely had dined,
A chance for a good, restful
sleep.
Our soul was serenely exultant
10 think of the terrified squeals
Of the mean little things when
they folded their wings
AS they served our wild min
nows for meals.
Yet they multiplied faster than
ever,
And when to the ponds we re-
paired,
AS the season advanced, to learn
how it CHANGED
That the needle-jawed pests
had been spared,
We found our demoralized min
nows,
With punctures in all of their
scales
And a dull, baffled air that be-
spoke their despair,
Were scratching their backs
with their tails.

Indians Play Tag
Game, Says Singer

Indian children play a game
which they call NoOdumkumwet,
Princess Watahwaso who appeared
il two song recitals in Richmond,
Thursday, told the editor of the
Junior Palladium,-and this game
is something like our game of tag.
In English Noodumkumwet means
Water King, and one child is nam
ed this and he is 1T" The Water
King goes into the water (the
Penobscot tribe to which Watah-
vase belongs lives on little isl
and in the Penobscot river in
Maine so there is plenty of water
all around) and then the other chill,
lren go down into the water.
Whomever the Water King catches,
las to stay in the water and help
latch the rest. When all are caught
hey go on the shore and play like
hey have a fire with a kettle over
it and there they have feast Gust
a pretend" feast). After the feast
hey begin to play in the water
tgain, the last child caught in the
1ther game being Noodum-kumwet
or the new game.
The boys and girls of her tribe
play this game a great deal, the
Princess said.
About 600 children were present
for the special concert which this
charming Indian singer gave on
Thursday afternoon, March 16, in
the High school auditorium, and
they were delighted with the songs
she sang, the stories she told and
the Indian dances she danced.
The money raised from these re-
citals-that is, the amount left
after all expenses are paid, will be
turned over to the Morton High
school orchestra to help pay the
expenses of that organization to
Nashville.

Saturn, Jupiter
Beg to Be Seen

Saturn and Jupiter, two planets
named after gods in old Greek and
Roman stories, may. now be easily
seen in the eastern sky--perhaps a
little to the southeast-and clear
evenings about or 9 o'clock. Can
you find them? We may easily
see them just with our eyes but if
we have opera glasses or field
glasses we may see them much
better. Saturn appears smaller
than Jupiter and is above it as
we look at them. Sometimes, with
strong opera glass one may see
one or two of the little moons of
the family of nine little moons
which are around Jupiter. Just
think of that, nine moons instead of
just one! Four of these moons
were seen very clearly Thursday
evening by the editor of the Junior
Palladium, through the telescope
in the observatory of Earlham col
lege. as Professor Grant, professor
of the college was showing sever
al of the stars and planets to a
group Of interested star gaZers."
The Earlham telescope is very
good one for a rather small one
its lens being six and one-half
inches in diameter.
The planet Saturn was also seen
appearing very beautiful in its ring
of light; for the beautiful Saturn
though named after god instead
OF goddess likes to adorn itself
with rings. One of the moons Of
Saturn is easily seen through the
telescope. Ask your father or
mother or someone who knows
these planets to point them out to
you one of these evenings for they
are especially bright and easy to
see during March.

With a handful of clay any boy
or girl can make set of colored
clay blocks-the clay block game
that will furnish amusement for
the whole family.
With a flat stick or a wide knife
smooth out the clay on your mod
cling board, until it is one half an
inch thick and three and half
inches square. Mark at the half
inches On the four sides of the
clay. A sharp pointed stick may
be used to make the mark.
Take a piece of string in both
hands. Hold it taut over the clay,
connecting two corresponding half
inch marks. Cut the clay by draw
ing the string through it. When
the clay has been completely di-
vided there will be 40 half-inch
cubes.
Set the blocks aside to dry, with,
out removing them from the mod
cling board. When they have dried

enough to permit making a. few
more squares than there are blocks.
When you are not using the blocks
they may be kept in this lid, and
when you play the game the lid
may be used as playing board.
Now then, how many different
designs can. you make with the
forty-nine little colored blocks, lay
ing them out in the squares in the
lid?
Bead-Makinu is Fun
Roll a small bit of clay in the
palm of your hand until the clay is
perfectly round. Make a hole in
the ball while it is wet, using q
long, thin needle threaded with q
double piece of heavy thread. AS
you make more beads string them
on this thread, and when you have
made enough hang them up to
dry. When they have dried get out
your water colors and color the
beads. The method of doing this
is illustrated in the picture.
Hook the double thread to some
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-03-18

thing so that the thread may be
held taut. The beads should be al
lowed to slide to the lower end OF
the string. Slip the point of the
needle into the hole of the first
bead. You can thus hold the bead
up while painting it. AS each bead
is colored slide it along the string
and take UP another bead.
Let the beads remain on the
string while they are drying When
they have dried coat them with
white shellac. Do this in the same
way that you applied the paint. Be
very careful that the beads do not
touch each other while the shellac
is wet. 1t is sticky and easily
marred while in that condition.
When the shellac has dried, the
beads are ready for wear.
Several suggestions for shapes
of beads are made in the drawing.
