Library in Paris Draws Majority of
 Readers Into Rooms Containing
 United States Literature.
 Paris, June 20.-The American H. brary in Paris, with 3o,0o0 American volumes on it's shelves and its tables covered with American magazines and newspapers, draws 33 per cent of its reading room attendance from French people. It is rapidly becoming the chief connecting link between the literary interests of France and the United States and during the two years of it's existence it has greatly stimulated French interest in things American.
 At the beginning of 1922 the library funds amounted to 674,o00 francs, and it is intended to spend much of this in enlarging existing facilities. A branch in the Latin quarter is planned, and others are contemplated.
 The library is used by French Min isters and many of the best-known French literary, scientific and profess sional men. It receives dozens of re- quests week for information about America. Recently a French archi- tect asked for all available informa- ton about skyscrapers. and several literary men came for help in writing biographies of Henry Ford and Sec retary Hughes.

Don't Cut OFF The Engine

While riding on train recently,
William Wrigley, the famous gum
manufacturer was approached by a
man who addressed him:
Pardon me, Mr.. Wrigley, but do
you know you're wasting a lot of
money!
Mr.. Wrigley, always anxious to
learn anything about his business,
asked in return, "How?"
"Why, in advertising!" the man re-
piled. "Your product is so } well
known now you don't need TO adver-
tise!"
"My good man. Mr.. Wrigley an
swered him, "do you know what
would happen if we were to cut the
engine off from this train?
"The train would coast along a
while and then stop, l suppose"
Exactly" replied Mr.. Wrigley,
"and that's just what my business
would do if / cut off advertising.

nishes the motive power for my bus

Driver Fell Asleep, Car in Ditch

Albert Johnson, of this city, who
operates a transfer truck out of De-
corah' to various towns had quite an
exciting experience Friday evening.
He was on his way home from Pres
ton, had been driving night and day
for some time and was completely
tired out. A little ways this side of
Burr Oak he fell asleep and the
truck went into the ditch. The car
has a driver cab on it and while
Johnson was not thrown out he was
rendered unconscious. He was found
shortly afterwards by Mrs. Herb
Meyer who was driving home in her
car. Others quickly gathered and
assisted Mr.. Johnson out of his pre-
dicament. He wasn't injured and af-
ter he regained his senses, got the
truck out of the ditch and drove into

The Women of the Future

One pessimist goes so far as to
predict that feminism will become
martial and militant in fifty years,
and will take its place with the
heavy artillery. But we are still
hopeful enough to believe that wo-
men will continue to operate The
infantry branch Of the service.
There is nothing alarming in the
anticipated war of the sexes. Be-
cause of the fact that the Creator
put into the nature Of men and wo-
men that which causes each to eter-
nally fall for the other, they will
be good pals so long as this natural
affinity. lasts--whieA will be forever.
The political equality of the sexes
was not won through war. 1t
came about through the intellectual
advancement of the race. Ancient
custom fixed woman's place as a
chattel: modern kindness and fair
ness took her out of bondage. Old.
maid suffragists did not stir women
to demand equality; they caused
thinking men to bring it about, even
before the women as a whole wanted
it.
Us gents are not mad at the ladies,
and the ladies are not mad at US.
There has been no war, nor will
there be a war. We are going along
together doing business at the old
stand, only .being better s:de-kicks
than ever before.

ENGINE 'DTED" MONDAY NIGHT
Evening Passenger on Milwaukee
Outgoing Got as Far as City
Limits.

! 1t has been nothing unusual for
automobiles TO get stalled on the
roads quite frequently, but now their
rivals" the railroads are having
troubles of their own, especially en-
CINE trouble. Monday night the $3.50
Milwaukee passenger pulled out for
Calmar on time. The trainmen
didn't know how far they would get
though as the engine was in bad
condition, not getting the attention
it should since the railroad strike
has been on. The train got as far
as the Milwaukee stockyards and the
engine went dead and couldn't pull
the train any further. 1t had enough
power left to back the train down to
the depot though, which was done,
and Conductor Campbell sent a
message to Calmar for another en-
CINE. A switch engine arrived from
Calmar about 1915 and the train
with the dead engine pulled out at
1925.
This same thing has been COM
mon occurrence all over the country
for some time, engines going dead
here and there. How long this state
of affairs is going TO last is pro-
blem, but with cold weather just
around the corner it looks as if some
thing could or should be done to get
the railroads working on schedule
again.

STOLE ALDERMAN'S SUIT
But at That He Didn't Have to Go
Home in a Barrel.

Stealing articles from automobiles
has become fad lately. They don't
take the cars, just simply the stuff
left in the parked cars.
Recently Alderman w. B. Reed had
his car parked along the street in
the block west of the Grand opera
house, until about $3.50 in the even
ing. He had just taken a suit of
clothes out of the pantorium that he
had cleaned and pressed and left
them in his car. The suit was miss
ing when he started for home. He
tells us that if the fellow who took
the clothes will only call he has a
perfectly good vest to go with them,
which he will give him.
A week ago Sunday Mr.. and Mrs.
B. j. Kornmeyer were visiting at the
Frank Bernatz home on West Wa
ter street. That evening they were
intending to go out on picnic. Mrs.
Kornmeyer changed her oxfords,
putting on a pair of canvas slip
pers, putting her oXfords, silk stock
ings, hat and veil in the car, and
an overcoat belonging to Mr.. korn-
meyer. A nice robe was also in the
car when they left it, but on their
return to the car every article was
gone, and they haven't recovered any
of them yet.
Monday evening of this week a
Lacrosse car was parked on the
street and tire and rim was taken
from it.
