SOLD HOME WEEK" FOR BOOKS

There have been various kinds of "old home weeks
n This CITY and elsewhere, but the one put on by III pupno
library for this week is something altogether dlneren'' INC
idea is to bring back the old books that have been kept ou'
SO long.
.Old home week. is when former residents are IN
vited to return and renew old acquaintance, see the
nroaress that has been made in the "old home town ana
give the home folk the inspiration they need from the SONS
who have gone forth and made good in the world OUTSIDE
Now. the books have homes, TOO. The greatest nome
for books in this city is the public library. These BOOKS are
Io.pad ont for q week or two at a time, but they are supposed
IA be returned. From one cause or another people some
times forget. delay or ignore the return OF the
hooks until they become ashamed of themselves or rear inc
amount of the fine that they might be called upon 10 pay
L...use the hook has been out so long. AS time has gone
h. the records of these books at the library have Deen ioSt
"a that all trace of them has finally disappeared.
But still the real home for these books is the public
1h8vsry no matter how long they have been away. These
hnoks ought to be returned. So there has been lnaugurated
here an "old home week. for books. During this week per-
.ona who have had books out since before March 1 OF this
wear NAV return them without payment of a fine and without
any questions being asked. 1t is a capital idea and ought to
mean the return of scores Of volumes that have been away
from their library home for so long
The library needs these books and no doubt many a
p..son's conscience needs to be relieved, too. "Old home
week" for books that belong to the library ought TO be a
great success.

soften the abrupt English speech to
make it more like the accustomed
Irish. They are a link between
Gaelic and the English speech of
Ireland; examples of this rhythm are
found in the words of Lynge and
Lady Gregory.
There is a strong affinity between
the Irish people and the old Ian
guage even when it is not the speech
that was learned at home. The
Gaelic League, which some years
ago began to hold classes to pro-
mote the study of Irish. found that
the pupils who volunteered were
eager to learn. Old women, chill
dren. working men and students
gathered at night in classes to learn
to speak and read Gaelic.
To Revive Gaelic Literature
Aside iron their inherent affection
for the radical language. the Irish
are interested in the revival of Gae-
lie as a medium of literature. 1t is
only in the past so years that schol-
airs have been working on the old
Gaelic manuscripts with a view to
having them published. The manu-
scripts of the Irish literature were
so widely scattered hat for centu-
ries they had lain almost unno-
ticed. Irish monks who were ban
ned from the country had taken
sonTe manuscripts to Belgian, France
and Italy and other parts of Europe,
so that to study the Irish writings
il was necessary to travel abroad
and seek them out in cathedrals,
libraries and cloisters. Many of
the wandering manuscripts were
IA.t - -r., a~1 t-xraC 81 N-- ITxrn-
SO lately as the destruction of Lou
rumber of old Irish manuscripts
were lost.
What are left of the stories, his
tories and sagas are being publish
ed for the inspiration CT modern
Irish writers. Irish language en-
thusiasts hold that the freshness of
English has been worn Oft through
use by centuries of story ~tellers and
opportunity for originality.
They point also to the old Gaelic
mythology which has been scarcely
used at all in modern times. while
Greek gods and their stories are the
standby props of the literary artist
In connection with the p%ossibili-
ties of the Gaelic literature il is in
teresting to note that the Irish are
credited with being the first to in
troduce rhyme into poetry. Old
poems show use of what is known
as assonance. That is, the words
do not rhyme exactly. but the VOW
els do. Words like moon and room
and wood could be used as rhymes
by this scheme. This s~o-called old
est form OF rhyme has been revived
by some modern experimenters with
poetry In this country.

now in New York planning an ex-

Naval Treaty is Up

The United States Senate has TAX
en- up the naval limitation treaty
which was signed at the recent con-
ference on Limitation of ornaments
in Washington.
This treaty aims to cut down the
number of battleships owned by n
worlds great nations. This, 1t Is
thought, will make war less likely
and save much money.
The treaty sometimes is called the
"5-5-3 treaty because 1t provides
Japan shall have three battleships
for every five owned oy Great Brit
ain or the United States.
Thus, under the treaty, If the
United States has twenty battleships
Great Britain may likewise have
twenty but japan may have only
twelve.
The Senate must ratify or approve
this treaty before 1t goes into effect.
The governments of the other ma
tons concerned also must ratify. 1t.
The four-power treaty. another
treaty signed at the conference on
limitation of ornaments, already has

all the places in which to live that
are convenient to the mines. and all
the stores-are owned by the COM
pany. The company establishes these
stores for the convenience OF its en-
ployes. The stores are not supposed
to be conducted primarily Tor profit,
the prices charged are not unrea-
sonable, and the rent for the houses
is not excessive. The miner can
trade where he pleases, but in most
instances he wants credit. he gets
it at the company store, because ne
agrees that company may deduct
from his wages whatever amounts
are due 1t for supplies, rent ETC., and
it Is his necessity, or the convenience
of the arrangement, that leads him
to make this agreement. This FORM
of the check-off protects The COM
pany against loss and enables II 10

There NAV be cases in which the

Turkish Empires Revival

Turkish Empires Revival
The Turkish empire. which was
broken up in the World War;. Is
coming back to life again. But u
will not be nearly as powerful as IL
was before 1t joined Germany in the
var.
The allies will give Constanti-
nople. capital of the empire, back to
Turkey. They also will allow Tur-
key to rule Armenia, Angora. Ana
tolia and part of Thrace.
But the people of Armenia, who
are not on good terms with the
Turks, will be protected by the
League of Nations.
Grear Britain will keep on ruling
Nesopotamia, formerly a part of the
Turkish empire, where some think
tho Gsarden of Eden, mentioned in
the Bible, was located.
And the allies will keep the GAL
lipoli peninsula, a part of Turkey.
This peninsula is important because
It controls trade routes.
Since the war ended Turkey has
had very little power. The allies
sent soldiers to Constantinople to
rule that city. The sultan, as the
Turkish ruler is called, had no
authority at all.
At the same time, Mustapha
Renal Pasha, Turkish officer and
politician, set up a government of his
own in Angora, Asia Minor. He
has been waging war with Greece.
The allies have asked Renal and
the Greek government to stop l
war by signing an armistice.
Why have the allies brought Tur-
key back to life? Probably because
their Mchammedan subjects in India
and African countries demand 1t.
Mohammedans look on Constanti-
nopIe as a holy city and consider the
sultan as the head of their religion.
The Turks have ruled CONSTANT
nople since 1883 when they took II
from the Greek or Byzantine EN-
pire.
The capture OF Constantinople was
one of the things that led to the dis
covery of America by Columbus IN
1872. The Turks had cut off trade
routes to the east and the western
European nations believed they
could find new ones by voyaging
westward.
