To the Building Managers of Seattle

TINOLEUM is floor that can be permanently
IL laid over cement or wood.
Tenants like Imoleum floors because they arc
quiet, easy on the feet, digni6cd, sanitary, and
very good-looking
If yours is an Office building where janitor ser
vice is supplied to the tenants, you may already
know how easy the linoleum floor can be kept
clean especially if waxed Waxing preserves
linoeum, improves its looks, and protects it. A
good linoleum floor that is waxed and polished at
regu ar intervals should last for the average life
of building.
! When dust falls on this waxed surface, it
settles there. 1t is easily brushed up with hair
broom, but it does not stir into the air again.
Cleaning is quickly and easily done. Harsh
scrubbng and wet hopping are unnecessary.

Three Factors
Make 1t Possible
To Predict Forest
Insect Outbreaks

Explaining that there are three gov
erning factors by which it is believed
to be possible to predict when fore
insect outbreaks will occur, H. B. Pier
son. State forest entomoligist, in a bull
letin just issued declares that it seems
highly probable that to a certain ex-
tent many of these outbreaks can be
foretold at least year in advance.
THE first of these factors in the ma
ture of the forest" says the bulletin,
and adds:
There seems to be no doubt but tina
spruce but worm outbreaks start up in
areas where there is a fairly high pro-
portion of fir trees whose crowns are
in the sunlight. In localities where the
FIR Is still under the shade of hard
woods there is little or no danger. In
a like manner, pure stands of white
pine, spruce or poplar are liable to in
sect injury and should be inspected at
least once a year.
The second factor is the temperature.
Large numbers of insects begin to
come out as soon as warm weather
starts, and il this is followed by frost
or cold days a heavy mortality results.
Late seasons usually mean an album
dance Of insects.
Rainfall is the third factor. During
heavy showers number of insects are
washed Off the trees and drowned and
extended storms have been known to
stamp out entirely fairly heavy infes-
tations.

sistance to the commission or the
State in solving its difficult. road
problems. 1t has also been rumored
that the appointment was strictly
political one and that no heed what
ever was paid to the suggestion Of
the leaders in the State who have
been fighting the battle for good
roads for many years. It is under
stood that the officers OF the Maine
Automobile Association are very BIT
terly opposed to the appointment,
NOT. because any of their prominent
members have been candidates. but
simply because man was nominated
who, It is claimed, knows nothing
about roads and who is not an out
standing business leader in the State
who. can be a power for good on the
commission 1t Is also claimed by
a number that Mr.. Innes Is absolute
ly unknown throughout the State
and very little known in York county.
The good roads advocates claim
that they spend the greater part of
their time In educating public off,

right types Of roads to build and as
soon as they get them educated they

comes in which has to be educated

The Maine Automobile Association,
so these individuals declare. Is gov
erned by a group of men who have
put years of study into Names high
way problem, without any remuner-
alton on their part. or hope of re-
ward, and that when they endeavor
to recommend candidates who know
something about roads and the road
problem. they are turned down and
men are appointed who know nothing
about them. The result is, they de-
clare, a tremendous waste of money
TO the State. The new appointees
generally have their own ideas and
are convinced that the State has been
wasting money in the past. They
insist on building sertain types of
roads which have been proven i'm
practicable in Maine and finally
when their terms of Office are at an
end they become converted to the
truth.
1t Is rumored that even York
county. which insisted that a man
from it's own territory be appointed,
Is dissatisfied with the selection and
is likely to oppose the confirmation

SUGGESTS new
I WING TO SUPPLY
NEEDS OF LIBRARY
State Librarian Dunnack in
4 Biennial Report Points Out
!, Two Means by Which Crowd
!: ed Condition in the State Lii
brary May Be Relieved
Second Method by Double
Stacking ~ ~

r The construction OF a new wing on
the state house to be used exclusively
for the state library Is suggested by
state Librarian Henry E. Dunnack
in his biennial report, just rendered,
az a possible means for relieving the
crowded conditions now existing in
the library. The estimated cost OF
the new wing is about 100000.
| Another method suggested for ac-
complishing the same purpose Is the
double stacking of the present IL
brary: that Is. building a floor on top
OF the present book stacks. The
library wing. was designed for this
when the plans were made, MI:
Dunnack declares. THE work would
cost from $4,000 to 100000.
J. THE state library is urgently in
need of more ROOM" he continues.
"The shelving room Is absolutely
exhausted. Books are being piled on
the floor behind the book stacks. /,
therefore. urge the legislature to
take action at once to remedy this
condition.
In his report for the biennial peri
cd July I. 1922. to June 1. 1924. Mr..
Dunnack points out that the 76S,0l4
people in Maine are reading more
and better books every year. THE
last two years." he asserts. "the
state library has sent out 29,41S more
books than in the preceding two
years. Most OF these books deal with
agriculture, education, mechanics,
fine arts. history, biography and
poetry.
Maine is a rural statel She has
200 towns without libraries. These
people depend upon the state library
for their books. The financial con-
ditions in these towns make 1t diff
fcult, IL not impossible. for years to
come to provide libraries for these
people. Therefore, 1t. sens a wise
policy for the state to see that the
youth of these towns have the OPP
portunity to secure International
books. Eighty per cent Of our boys
and girls finish their school life in
the grade schools. 1t Is therefore,
only through reading worth while
books that they can fit themselves
for the responsibilities of citizenship
and prepare themselves to earn a
living.
