Librarians who have gathered at

suggestions which will materially
increase the use of library facilities
in farm communities.
A complete portable library, which
is used in carrying books to the
farmer, is displayed at the beauti-
full south entrance to the new De-
troit public library. It consists Of
a Dodge Brothers business car fitted
with racks which carry several
nrudred volumes on a great variety
OF subjects. The travelling library
Is used to circulate books among
the rural population surrounding
Nobiesville, Ind. The car Is great
favorite among the farmers and
their children. who look forward
anxiously to its arrival as It makes
its regular trips through the coun-
tryside.-

In the month of June on the

automobiles striking or being
struck by trains. There was a
1s per cent reduction as compared

Of grade crossing accidents.
Az regards the number of auto
mobile accidents. there were 15 per-
cent less machines involved this
year as compared with June, 1921.
There was 10 per cent less accidents
Of all kinds. That means less Pc

The careful crossing campaign
was launched primarily to educate

The mayor, in company with the
American Express Company agent,
took q ride in the White Streak and
examined the seals securing the
hood on the endurance car. They
found the seals to be intact and
issued a notarization to that effect.
In Boston the White Streak spent
three days, during which time It
conducted many public demonstra-

At present the car is In New York
City, which completes the second
lap of the endurance run. While in
New York the car was subjected to
an impartial examination and was
found to be in fine condition. None
of the steering systems or spring
shackle bolts show any signs of lost
motion. There are no sQuealSs oil

chassis frame, which accounts for
a perfect alignment of the famous
Mitchell ESQ chassis with a sturdy

From New York the white Streak
will take a southern direction with
