READING CIRCULATION
OF LIBRARY GROWING

The general reading circulation OF
the MOrrisson-Reeves public library is
increasing.
A report of the circulation for the
first five months of 1922 shows cir
culation of 66,341 books, an increase
over the circulation of the first months
of 1921 Of 1859.
When asked to what this increase
in circulation is due, Mrs. Ada L. Barn
hardt, Librarian, said 1T is the general
reading that has increased the circula-
tion. l do not know definitely Just
what is the cause of the increase,
but ii IS my opinion that it is the re-
suit of the general moral and mental
uplift which has begun since the war.
The public mind is not so busy and
has more time to devote to reading"
Mrs. Bernhard stated chat aside
from fiction, which is alwOys the most
popular type of literary work, the pub
lie seems TO be interested largely in
biographical study and travel Lists
of new books are published from time
to time in order that the public nay be
kept informed in regard to the latest
additions to the collection.

erly meeting at the library Monday af-
ternoon, at 2:30 o'clock

GOVERNMENT TO TAKE
DRASTIC ACTION IN
COAL STRIKE CRISIS
CRv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, July 17-Intima-
ton was given in well informed gov
ernmental circles today that the ad,
ministration was preparing to take
drastic action in the next AS hours on
the coal strike situation.
The president was represented as
being of the opinion that inasmuch
that the miners representatives had
refused government arbitration and
that the bituminous operators were un-
decided on acceptance of such pro-
posal that the interests of the public
demanded immediate re-opening OF
the mines.
With this feeling, it was said the
president was prepared to direct the
mine operators to reopen the mines
at once under protection of federal
troops and with an American flag
planted at the entrance of every mine
to be operated. The operators would
be expected to comply Immediately
with such an edict.

COMMEND REMOVAL
OF SIGNS ON ROADS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 17.-EV-
cry newspaper publisher will agree
with the sentiment expressed in
bulletin issued today by the Hoosier
State Auto association relative 10 the
action of the state highway commits
sion in ordering advertising signs re
moved from all highways under It's
control.
"One of the best things the state
highway commission has done recent
"" declares the motor associations
statement. THE place for adverus-
ing is in ewspapers and magazines
and the highway commission is per
fectly right in holding that roadside
advertising in these days of high
speed motor car transportation is
practically useless. 1t is worse than
that-it simply cutters up the land
scape and serves to confuse the
stranger who is driving over the high
way.
1T will be a blessing when each
county takes the same action and bans
sign boards of an advertising charact-
er from county roads as we'll as state
roads. The progressive merchant will
advertise in the columns OF his home
newspaper. Half of the roadside ad.
signs represent concerns or persons
who have gone out Of business, many
of whom may be resting serenely in
the local cemetery. SO, the passer-by
who is a stranger can't tell live one
from a dead one. This is not the case
with newspaper advertising-the ad.
in the local paper is live and so is
the advertiser"
The Hoosier Auto association states
that it feels gTatified that the high
way commission ruling does not apply
to danger signs and direction signs
erected by the automobile association.
The association has reached the point
where it is difficult TO travel any
main road now without viewing from
a few many warning signs or direc-
ton signs erected by this association
in an effort to safeguard the high
ways. The large centers naturally
show the greatest number of such
signs, but gradually the work of the
safety department of this organization
is spreading throughout Indiana.

FIRST STEP TAKEN
TO USE ASSETS OF
GLEN MILLER PARK

Glen Miller park should be devel-
oped in such way that its unused as
sets may be enjoyed by local citizens
and visitors without, however. cans
ing the park to lose any of it's natural
beauty, a group of representative
business men decided Monday. The
men were called together in response
to a widespread feeling that more op-
portunities for recreation should be
provided in the park
Opinion was strongly against COM
mercializing the park by amusement
places, riding devices and parapher-
MALTA usually found in commercial
parks.
1t was felt that a public swimming
pool, public golf links, additional ten
mis- courts were the sort of changes
that should be made.
III was decided TO ask the Richmond
Community Service through its secre-
tary, P. H. Slocum. to present for the
consideration of the community a pIan
Tor making the park a great center of
recreation for children. young people.
and family groups
Glad to Make Plans.
Community Service will be be very
dations for furnishing more recrea-
tional facilities in Glen Miller mari, ;"
said MI Slocum. Many great spaces
are in the park now used for growing
nay, which could be turned over for
the boys and girls of the city.
The park has a wonderful water
supply, which by intelligent use.
could be turned into wading pools for
small children and a great community
swimming hole for everybody. Con
trary to popular belief the water in
Glen Miller lake is not too cold for
swimming
1 believe the people of the city
would like to see the park made more
useful if its natural beauty was pre-
served. The Community Service ap-
preciates the opportunity for helping
such a worthy project"

WOMEN OF ARGENTINE
LIVE RELAXED LIVES;
GAIN MUCH WEIGHT
BY LUCILLE F. SAUNDERS
Written for the United Press)

BUENOS AIRES, July t7-When
American women begin to plan their
first fall hats and see if the moths
have got into the woolens. the Argen-
tine sonora will be just on the point
of emerging from her cocoon. That
cocoon is an ample one, modelled
along perpendicular lines.
Once a northerner has seen the
average Argentine woman in a bath
ing suit. he appreciates what a large
armful she is. In the southern repub-
lice there is a long list of social
don'ts. which, while making life as
near effortless as possible, encourage
tendencies toward avoirdupois
OUTSIDE garments are the rule rath-
er than the exception, whereas the
woman so unfortunate as to have an
English style" foot is doomed to pass
many hours in fruitless search for
moderate heeled. long vamped shoes.
She pursues a hopeful prospect with a
familiar American brand. only to find
that the home factory caters espe-
cially TO the high heeled, broad, yet
short, sole and think ankle.
The Argentine woman is well up
.holstered and no one would ever ac-
cuse her of the feminine sin of tight
lacing. Surely the age of wasp waists
back in the COS passed up Argentina
One is inclined to doubt whether eth
er fashions or eat to get thin" starch
less biscuits and reducing recipes
could ever burrow past tradition pre-
scribing what is necessary TO be a per-
feet lady
If Mrs. John Smith, wife of a ma
chinery salesman, living in a Harlem
fat, doing her own homework and
sending her three healthy children to
school, were suddenly transplanted to
Bureos Aires her husbands American
dollars would suddenly expand to cover
a multitude Of luxuries that can be
paid for in pesos.
Takes on Weight
Likewise, Mrs. Smith would find at
the end of a languid. voorhees, period
that she herself had expanded and her
former muscular plumpness would be
cushiony rolls of flesh.
And here are the reasons. the social
code Of the Argentine for any woman
above the ranks of washwomen, jani-
tresses and factory hands.
Don't walk when there are plenty of
taxis and coaches.
iCOl4 Nv ( III tilt SIIldlGSI dHdI tIileIlS
without at least a cook and maid
Don't wear low heeled shoes; it isn't
necessary to walk anyhow.
Don't get the idea that a Sunday
hike would be pleasure; it would be
much more seemly TO pass the day at
home on your balcony watching the
neighbors passing.
Don't be seen carrying packages,
suitcases or children; it isn't done in
the best families.
Don't do your marketing in person
that's what maid is for.
Never miss tea, for it is an excellent
opportunity to absorb sugary cakes.
Don't exercise the baby; YOU might
get the child accustomed to the habit.
Don't move around much when YOU
go out socially; you can see more by
sitting on the side lines and welding
lorgnette while the other folks dance
Don't fail to observe all of the above
rules; if your husband can't afford to
keep pace with them make the general
public thing he can.
