WOULD CREATE NEW
 INDEX FOR STUDENTS
American Library Association Advo-
 Cates Change ill System to Aid Investigators

Detroit, Mich, June 2a.-The ere ation of new indexes to aid scholars and investigators was recommended q at its meeting here today by Harry Miller Lydenberg, chief reference li- brarian of the New York public li- brary. We have no indexes to peri odical articles in the field of indus trial art" said Mir Lydenberg. "A union list of periodicals and record of bound files of newspapers available for investigators are two desirable en- terprises.
 Tn the past the publishing board had the needs of the smaller circulat- ing libraries in mind; opportunities for cooperation with important helps for scholars and investigators have been neglected.
 If funds are available for eXten- sion of the activities of the board a library annual might proftably be is- sued, summarizing the statistics of the various libraries. Another enter prise might be a record of important books or manuscripts, reproductions of which by photostat or similar pro- cess have been collected in this coun- try. No systematic survey of the manuscript resources of the larger reference and university libraries has ever been undertaken. We need a publication summarizing the essential articles on industrial arts. The Ii brary world needs indexes to the great collections of reproductions of paintings and needs indexes to pie lures by subject"

HERDS OF CATTLE
 EXAMINED QUICKLY
Essex County, \. Y., Shows How Tu berculosis May Be Eradicated
 Quickly and Efficiently

Washington, June 29.-The plan for the complete eradication of tuber- culosis in the cattle herds of the country seems well within the bounds of possibility to department of agri- culture experts as the result of 8 demonstration that an entire county may be cleared of all it's reactors in a week and a day.
 Such a demonstration was recently completed in Essex county, New York where local authorities assisted by he state and the department of az riculture, began the testing of the nerds on Friday, May 12, and finished the job on Saturday, May 20.
 The county was divided into con venient districts, and 25 veterinarian were taken from farm to farm in au- tomobiles by p leading farmers who volunteered their services. By this use of rapid transportation and by careful planning of routes it was pos sible in two days to test 920 herds containing 5,274 cattle This was an average of more than s herds a day for each veterinarian. Because the loss of time was cut to minimum and supplies were brought in uuan- tity. the work was done for less than half the usual cost when herds are tested individually, the report 10 the department said

NEW YORK IS JUST
 AN OLD HOME TOWN
So Business Seekers Advise Small
 Town Visitors

New York, June 29. - New York the second largest city in the world some claim it is the largest-is going back to the favorite boom method of the small town. It is going to ap- point Welcome Stranger commit : tee," figuratively to extend to the vis- itors the keys of the city
 This action was decided upon after the New York hotel association set forth that folks in other parts of the country had got an entirely wrong idea of the city from what they had read about it in the newspapers
 The job of the new committee is to make it known that, despite the ac- counts of murders. suicides, holdups and scandals that have been featured in the news New York is just as safe as any Gopher Prairie-with better water, milk and police protection to boot.
 New York is particularly anxious to get this idea across immediately for it is in the summer that honey mooners flock to the city from the ends of the land
 And the hotel men feel that these visiting couples, perched atop buses touring the city, are somewhat neg lected. They need someone to shake them by he hand anl show ghrni Inc invisible ropes Of the town, leaving them to pick out Lady Liberty, Grants Tomb and the Woolwolth tower for themselves.
 ,,ac shopkeepers, transportation lines and theatrical interests were all represent ed and it was decided that the visitor must be personally shown that the idea is all wrong that everybody is out to rob him as soon as he sets foot on New York sidewalks.

WILL ERECT THIRD
 LARGEST TELESCOPE
Ohio Wesleyan University to Build
 Structure in a Short Time

Delaware. O.. June 29.--Nithin the jneXt few years, there will arise or Observatory hill on the campus at | Ohio Wesleyan university here, huge concrete bulk. with a long finger pointing skyward. It will be the third largest telescope in the world. At that time an old man may look from the doorway Of an out-of-d
 brick house near the great instrument perseverance and the dominating ideal of a life that will have passed the Efour-score and ten mark.
 If he is there to see it, he will be comparatively penniless as money goes but rich in happiness. If he is not there to see it, he has
 said he win be just as satished-be- cause he knows it will be there,
 whether he is or not.
 Professor Hiram NJ. Perkins, now
 Sa years of age, started teaching mathematics and astronomy years ago lat Ohio Wesleyan, a poor man. Dur ling the long years of teaching since then he had amassed a fortune of close to s200.o00 by fortunate invest ments But he will die a poor man. Nearly every cent that he has earned and scraped together will be repre- sented in the third largest telescope In the world.'
 S25O.O0O Contributed
 A story that passes understanding is
 unfolded in the simple announcement by trustees of Ohio Wesleyan that
 S250 0o0 has been contributed for the installation of the telescope. Ill
 but S75,0N of the quarter of million dollars was given by Prof. Perkins; the remainder by his sister and brother-i law.
 Professor Perkins has lived with one dominating goal-to be able to turn enough money over to Ohio Wesleyan university for the purchase of such a telescope Not only did he devote all his income from his investments to his telescope fund. but he often contrib
 uted to it from the meager salary as a college professor, he and Mrs, Per liins trimming their household budget to make the sacrifice possible.
 And the story of self sacrifice is not on q par with the efforts of Pro- Itessor Perkins to dodge recognition
 for his remarkable gift
 He has steadfastly refused any ac- knowledgment from his alma mater and has driven the college press bureau to distraction by refusing to permit the use Of his name in con- oectiou with the gift
 "1 don't care whether l live to see the telescope and the new obserN atory completed or not" he is quoted by Prof C. C, Crump, now head of the department of astronomy. The Knowledge that the university is to have them is sufficient"
 Prof. Perkins gives the telescope at the urge of an ideal that has hold sway in his whole life--the belief th,t The study of the stars outclasses all others in teaching the majesty and
 bower of God, and in inCulcating prin- iples of true religion.
 Under the terms of his gift, the seescipe is to be used first for the instruction of all the students of the university; second. it is to be turned over to the public at regular intervals, md after that it is to be used for re- earch.

EUROPE DISCUSSES
 POSSIBILITY OF A
 NEW WORLD WAR
(Continued from page one.)

returning westward, one found many facts to dove-tail with it. France is not bellicose but officially she considers the occupation of further German territory, even though unau- thorized specifically by the treaty, would be justified if necessary for enforcement purposes. Yet, if Ger many resisted, and the tone of even the most moderate German newspa- pers make this seem entirely pos sible. then a general French mobi- lization would follow and Pein- eaire's 1914 phrase, Mobilization is not war" could be repeated with just as much truth now as then.
 That Lloyd George realizes these possibilities and is working night and day to avoid them is clear from his aggression pact proposal which certainly was intended to prevent France taking any unauthorized steps toward the enforcement of the treaty of Versailles. Frances resist ance shows that she understands England's game and does not intend to make any such promise. There fore. If the pact actually is signed there will be a reservation excepting Versailles enforcement measures and this reservation will nullify the value of the whole document.
 France Is Obstacle
 France clearly is an obstacle to the kind of new peace treaty that Lloyd Gebrge wants, but she feels justified in this stand holding that Georgian" peace would reduce her to the rank of a second-elass power by hamstringing her army. The question thus arises whether the treaty of Versailles, whereon France stands. really is 8 peace at all since it means perpetual war or threats of war. This issue would have arisen three years ago, but for the success sive efforts of the Millerand, Ley gues and Brland governments to modify the treaties in accordance with British conceptions. Poincare is the first since Clemenceau to de- mand full enforcement of the entire treaty's paragraphs.
 1t is hard to say what England's attitude will be if a showdown comes. It is widely believed here that Great Britain is urging the United States to bring pressure to bear upon France to hold her horses and to agree to 8 binding, non-aggressive pact by promising that when politi- cal stability thus is assured, Amer ica will cooperate economically and will consent to substantial conces- sons concerning debts. But the diff ficulty here seems to be that such promises are useless to the present French government unless they are publicly made and the United States Is unwilling to make such public as- surances for internal political req sons.
 Again American home politics seem to Europeans to be the principal fac tor in delaying peace.
