"COLORFUL" ROMANCE

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February Bits OF
romance in the lives of librarians
are furnished by mysterious visit
ors who come to browse In the
learned tones in their keeping.
Conversation with the librarians
in the Ryerson Library reveal
colorful facts. There is the Span
ish gentlemen named Cebrian who
roams about the world collecting
rare Spanish books on art which he
sends to the library at unexpected
intervals. He is never. 1t seems,
in the same place twice. but he
usually writes in advance when he
is passing through Chicago and
then pays the library a visit.
Not long ago a prosperous-look-
ing gentleman came up in great
delight to the librarians desk and
announced that he had found a pic
lure for which he had searched
for many months. spending over
one thousand dollars in the search.
1t was a picture of a Louis Nv
dresser of veneer. He had been try
ing to prove to group of manu-
features that the costiliest fur
niture was once made in veneer
and had been unable to convince
them. After he left the city eight
or ten men came into the library
from various parts of the country
ana asked to see the Illustration.

list Of District appropriations in the

masonry. The central span in the
plans measures 1851 feet and is fiank,-
ed on each side by a 103-foot span,
while one 16-foot span would he
placed on each side of these smaller
spans.
Since 1917 the plans have been lying
unused in the District building. In
that year George Q. Totten drew them
up and presented them TO the Com
missioners, following authorization
for such steps by Congress. Since
that time the Commissioners have
made repeated attempts to obtain the
initial appropriation. but have failed.

GASOLINE FIRE HAZARDS

Here is valuable information how
fire hazards from static electricity
can be reduced by a simple device.
There have been so many disastrous
fires occasioned by static electric
sparks occurring during discharge of
gasoline from tank trucks at filling
stations that Stephen H. Brooks, pres
ident of the Oil Conservation Engin-
eering company, has suggested the
following remedy which has proven
very effacacious:
Take a piece of pipe and drive into
the ground below the frost line and
let it extend about 8 feet high. 1t
should be driven into the ground along
side the gasoline station, close to a
point where the tank is to be unload
ed. Attach to this piece of pipe a
twelve-foot length of iron chain and
when the truck drives up to unload
throw the chain over the top of the
truck tank. This is a very inexpen-
sive piece of apparatus and may be
the means of preventing disastrous
fires. Some companies absolutely re-
quire this and have it installed in all
their stations.
A device which is in common use in
California and which adds an element
of safety in unloading gasoline, is a
chain which is fastened so that it dan
giles upon the ground beneath the
truck and is always ready for service
without further adjustment.

MONTANA CROP REPORT
FOR JULY ENCOURAGING

crop prospects were generally good on
July l and the lack of moisture was
becoming apparent in the counties of
the north central district and on a
portion of the Flathead reservation
section, with a few other localities re-
porting a need of rain. Moisture CON
ditions were good in the eastern half
of the state and the southern and
southwestern districts were in fine
shape. Grasshoppers have appeared
in over 40 counties, but little damage
has resulted and active work has been
undertaken to fight the pests. Cut
worm damage has been very light,
while hail damage has been light and
mostly local.
Summerfallow and diversified farm
ing are receiving much attention and
the reports coming to this office in
dictate an unusual interest in diversi-
fled farming and the growing of feed
ing crops. This tendency is also
borne out by the increased acreage of
corn, oats, barley, potatoes, peas, al
falfa, clover and millet. Seed crops,
particularly peas, potatoes and alfal-
ia, are receiving much attention.
On August s., this office will issue
a report on all crops based upon con-
ditions August 1, and also a special
report on the Montana potato crop and
other important potato states. This
latter report will be sent only to those
requesting it.
