Funeral of Mrs. lydia Shaw

Funeral services for Mrs. Lydia
Shaw were held Thursday afternoon
from her late home on Central
street, conducted by Rev. Charles f..
Sargent. pastor of the Congregational
church of this town, assisted by Rev
Arthur Jones of the Friends church
of Winthrop Center. There was an
abundance of beautiful floral offer
incs. lnterment was in the family
lot i'll Glcnside cemetery, the bearers
being f.. G. Leighton, John Hind
haush. Earl Norcross and G. T..
EoWell. The former statement that
Mrs. Shaw was a member of the
Friends church was an error although
she was quite a constant attendant
when her health would permit her to
do so, and always took a great in
terest in that society.
Out of town relatives who were
present were Mrs. Harold SimonS of
Winchester. Mass. Mr. and Mrs. Eu
gene Turner of Mt. Vernon, Mrs.
Thomas Bowker of Belfast. Mrs.
Clyde Watson of Rumford. Mr.. and
Mrs. George Kinds and Carl Kinds
OF Portland.

DECAUSE of the increasing need for
ID high grade, trained employees In
the library profession. the Commit
tee on library training of the District
Of Columbia Library Association.
Clara W. Herbert. chairman. has been
requested by the American Library
Association to assume the responsi-
bility for furnishing information as
10 library work and its opportunities
70 school graduates and others in the
city of Washington. This RESPONSE
bility the committee has gladly &C
cepted. and all persons interested in
the possibilities of library work are
invited to confer with members Of
the committee for any information
they may desire.
The names and addresses of the
members of the committee are as fol-
lows: Clara w Herbert. assistant Ii
brarian, public library.of the District
OF Columbia: Ellen A. Hedrick. ref
erence librarian, Department of Agri-
culture: Prof. Alfred F. w. Schmidt,

ence c. Bell. bureau of efficiency:
Dorothy DeMuth Watson. Wilson
Normal School; Julia L. V. McCord,
librarian, Geological Survey Library;
Joy E. Morgan. National Educational
Association, and Mrs. r. B. Howard.
The committee has recently pub
lished a report on ''Washington's Fa-
cilities for Training in Library Sci
ence." which describes in some detail
the courses of instruction in library
science offered by various agencies
and institutions in Washington. This
report may be consulted at the public
library, or purchased for 25 cents
from Mary G.. Carpenter, care of the
library of the Department Of Agri-
culture.
The scope and opportunity of Ii
brary service is not generally under
stood. The profession has developed
90 rapidly in recent years that 1t is
impossible at this time to state how
many library positions there are in
the United States. Librarians are or
sanized in great national associa
ton, the American Library Associa-
tion, with which are affiliated large
special organizations such as the Ma
tional Special Libraries Association,
the National Association of State Lii
Law Libraries and the National
League of Library Commissions.
In addition to these national bodies
there are forty-three state library as
sociations. thirty-nine state library
commissions, more than a dozen
schools for ira ining in library science,
more than thirty city library assoc!a
lions, and three we'll known library
journals of nationwide circulation.
The library schools are located in
practically every section of the coun-
try and many give both winter and
summer courses. In the east there
are library schools at Albany, Boston.
Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia,
etc.
The motive force. which make for
personal and community development
are education, information, recreation
and inspiration. The function of the
librarian is to set free these motive
forces in so far as the stuff Of which
they are made can be obtained from
hooks printed records and archives,
and occasional and periodic litera-
ture Of all kinds. To perform this
task successfully the modern librar-
ian must be able to analyze the need
munity and to understand the charac-
ter of this need as basis for the

rather imagine that they would re-
ceive the surprise of their lives.
You wanted to know IL, in our
opinion, the disti1lers of Europe are
sending over what one might term
their good stuff; that is, the better
quality of liquor. and in answer TO
that question I might say it is my
belief that the makers Of whisky,
etc, are not as particular about the
stuff they sell to the rum runner as
they are TO the folks that purchase
their product at home. Those who
purchase their wares at home are in
a position to discontinue the use of
a certain brand if they do not not
find 1t up to the accustomed stand
ard and to serve notice on the manu-
facturer that they will have no more
of his product, but the producers
realize that after they sell their wares
to those who deal in this Illicit stuff,
they have no chance of preventing
the sea smuggler from doing as he
will with the liquor. and probably
go on the theory that anything that
| for the rum runner.
Prior to the enactment of the Vol
stead act, a number of those who
dealt in whiksy in large quantities
| sent large consignments of whiskies
abroad, in hopes that they would be
able to dispose of their wares on the
| other side. but they found that there
was very little, If any. market for
their stuff. and we have numerous
requests that the liquor that was sent
abroad before the prohibition act
! went into force be permitted to enter
this country and be placed in bonded
warehouses.

! ssA 70, I would not say that the
/ life OF a rum runner is the most
! Joyous existence in the world. They,
and now / am speaking Of the men
! with whom we have talked, do not
make anywhere near as much as peo-
pie have an idea they do, and the
danger they run should not be mini
mized. They have to take their
chances with death and may meet an
untimely end at any time.
I'VE are getting the upper hand Of
the situation, and as time goes on I
am positive the people will appre-
ciate the fact that we are not only
! trying to do our duty in the matter
of the enforcement Of the law, but
are also trying to keep people from
being poisoned. If the public would

next to impossible to get good
whisky without q physician's pre-
scription, it would save not only
health, but also many dollars.
Now, another word about these
men who try to smuggle in liquor

Prows on Locomotives.

EoR many years attempts have
been made to get rid of a part of
the resistance which a railway train
encounters in rushing through the
air. 1t is easy to understand that
the pressure on the front of a swiftly
moving locomotive, which equals the
force Of a strong gale of wind can
only be overcome by an expenditure
of energy greater than would other
wise be required to run the train. If
that pressure could be removed, or
considerably decreased, less coal
would have to be burned.
Experiments to diminish the pres
sure were begun many years ago, and
in some cases a practical outcome
has been reached. One plan adopted
is very simple, and involves inclined
planes attached to the fore end OF the
engine in such a way that instead of
a square front 1t presents to the air
a sharp prov. like that of ship.
1t might be thought that little
would be gained in this way, but re-
peated trials have shown that in
some cases as much as 10 or 12 per
cent can thus be saved in the COL
sumption of coal, and the average
saving amounts to about Der cent.
This is SO important an item that a
large number of locomotives on one
system have been fitted with the
device.
When the wind is blowing directly
in the face of the engine the resist
ance to be overcome is. of course.
much increased, and the value of
prowshaped front is proportionately
greater.
In some of the experiments it was
shown that by the combined effects
of placing inclined planes in front
aud filling up the spaces between the
spolSes of the wheels. one-half of the
air resistance could be done away
with.

The public library of today has
grown to such proportions that ad-
ministration has become a problem
in itself. The librarian and assist

A this time Of the year the
~ young men and women who
~ compose the annual output OF
Washington's educational insti-
tutions are trying to answer the ques-
zion: What shall do now?" For some
the question has already been solved.
Because of specialized training, they
are ready to start at the bottom OF
the ladder which leads to success in
the legal. medical. engineering or
other professions, but for perhaps a
majority Of the graduates the question
still remains to be answered.
Have you ever stopped to think
what would happen II all American
boys should suddenly decide to enter
= particular profession? That pro-
fession, of course, would soon be over
crowded and there would not be
enough work to go round. Not so
many years ago this almost seemed
10 be true of the engineering profess
sion. In many cases. there can be
no doubt that many young men, who
failed to capitalize their engineering
training, have since risen to promi-
uence as financial advisers, as direc-
tors in advertising and selling, as
statisticians. as Librarians, and the
like.

has arisen in response to the need for

employment. In some cities an ef-
fort has been made to build up GEN.
trail vocation bureau to help the

munity TO learn the scope OF the diff

requirements for personal success
therein, and the opportunities and re-
wards Of intelligent performance.
