Black Walnut Valuable.

"Of all the forest trees found In the original forests of America" says American Forestry. the black walnut probably suffered most al the hands of the early settlers. This k due Co the well-known fact that it stood upon the best land in the fertile valleys and bordering foothills. These areas were selected by the pioneer farmers for their ClearingS and farms. A large number of the choicest black walnut trees were felled and burned simply to get rid of them. Many more were split Into fence rails or put to other similar ordinary uses before the real merits Of the wood became known.
 Now the wood of black walnut brings a high price, It is no longer destroyed and wasted, but every avail able piece Is collected and manufsc- tuned in,o some useful article. IL Is not used any more for rough lumber, as lt was In the early days, but all of lt goes to factories. where 1t is con verged Into finished articles"

CITES THE NEEDS
. OF FPUBL|CL|BRARY
Board Of Trade Committee
Urges Immediate Increase
in the Appropriations.

Immediate increase in appropria-
tions from Congress to meet the i'm
perative needs of the Public Library
in Washington is asked by the library
! committee of the Washington Board
| of Trade In report just made public
| The committee believes that the Ii
brary has not only outgrown it's
equipment, but it's staff, and that i'm
, mediate remedial action is necessary
! SO that the institution can function on
a progressive basis.
With public demands last year re-
Sultlng In the home use of more than
million volumes and reference and
information service to students, busi-
ness men, government workers, teach
ers and others growing in both ex-
tent and quality. the committee be-
lieVes that the conditions in the libra
ry should be brought forcibly to the
attention of Congress.
Urgent Needs Outlined,
Some of the urgent needs are out
fined in the report. They are:
The main library requires seven
teen new assistants. These positions
are needed to meet the growth in cir
ulation: the increase in administra-
tive work in connection with the
Is
December S, and the Eastern High
School branch, opening in February,
as part of which work approximate
ly 10000 books must be selected. or
dered, catalogued and prepared for
lending: and the increasing demand
for a higher quality and larger
amount of information and reference
service.
For the last three years, the COM
mittee asserts. an effort has been
made to meet some of these demands
without closing an essential depart
ment of the library by the employ
ment Of an average Of ten persons
from the substitute and desk funds
This, however. according to the COM
| mittee, is a temporary emergency
since it diverts these funds from their
original purposes, representing equal
ly important expenditures.
Asks Increase i'm Salaries.
An increase in salaries for the per-
the report, to retain and procure the
high standard of employe necessary
for this kind of work. 1t is impos
sible to attract and retain persons of
appropriate qualifications without
salaries more nearly comparable with
tunities for equally interesting work
at substantially better pay are taking
away from the library field persons
who alone have the equipment to
render real educational service, the
committee believes.
The library is by law a supplement
of the public educational system of
Washington. it is said. and therefore
purely education service is required
of it. Reconsideration legislation will
establish salaries on a sounder basis.
Speedy enactment of this legislation
is therefore of the greatest i'm
portance.

IF Congress will provide money
for this branch promptly-an item
for this has been included in the Com

Inability to utilize the 100000 for

site may lose for Washington any
for branch library buildings from the
Carnegie Corporation.
Provision for the Schools.
"The board Of education and the
board of library trustees have agreed
upon plan for branch libraries and
library stations in school buildings
to provide book facilities for the less
populated or suburban district of
Washington. The first of these
DrancheS VIII pc opened IN tne last
ern High School in February. The
next deficiency bill carries items of
equipment and staff for this branch.
II is important that with the develop
ment of the school building program
the library should be in a position to
occupy the rooms which the school
board is willing to put at it's disposal
1t is the purpose of the Libraries in
these school branches to serve both
the adult and the juvenile population.
An abstract of the report will be
presented to the full Board of Trade
in the address next Monday night by
President Thomas Bradley. 1t is an
