rent file of daily papers complete in
the library.
"We have very few of our bound
volumes clipped or mutilatcd now by
visitors as we have taken the most
valuable ones and the ones that we
think he might clip, and thrown every
safeguard around them. All of our
books of every class are available and
accessible to our patrons, but we be-
licvc firmly in not leading any one
into temptation by careless exposure OF
books where they could be harmed
In this way we have reduced the men
ace to negligible point.
VOLUMES MUTILATED.
Most of the books that are clipped
are technical and scientific books and
books of art. Rather than copy down
the information wanted people just
clip it out, or if a pretty picture ap'
peals to them they cut it out, regard
less of whether other people people
might desire the same information.
I'VE have practically stopped this
by watching and protecting books Of
this class carefully and those we now
have are not damaged, while at the
same time any one is privileged tc
read and look at them at any time
they so desire.
But clipping of current daily files
of newspapers 1t seems utterly impOs
sible to stop it though we have signs
in the reading room saving DO No

over the white OLD woman,
Lily Cornish. Margaret,
whom he loved, was secure.
This was his great, flaming
wish.
AS she went past her
mothers room she noticed
the bureau drawers all opened and
ransacked. This was peculiar - the
two bedrooms rifled, but nothing
| downstairs touched. She went in
swiftly and restored the fragrant
order. 1t didn't occur to her that any
thing had been taken. Lily had come
for the bonds-nothing else. And so
she said no word at all to Margaret.
Monday she took the bonds and put
them in a safe deposit vault. The
black shadow of this ominous woman
might now pass from their lives. She
and Margaret had battled against it
and won.
Nora Lee was bitter in her thoughts
of Andrews wife. She never re-
gardcd her as a person with rights
but only as q malign obstacle who had
crossed the path of two beautiful, in
trepid souls, refusing to allow them
to march onward to their happiness.
Lily was one who degraded marriage,
making of it a pitiless weapon to
protect and honor her unfitness.
So it was she who sinncd; not An
drew and Margaret. She who defied
the high and holy things-not they.
With the ruthless scorn of Is, Nora
Lee exalted emotion and belittled
duty. Love was the first and the
last law for the young and for the
lovely. The old, the yellowed, the
complaining-with one sweep they
we're exiled from the golden light OF
JOY. Love belonged to the vital; to
the red Of lip and gallant of spirit.
She had an incredible contempt for
the romance of forty EDWARDS. 1t
was grotesquc that people, with
leathery, wrinkled faces and hearts,
with the pcarly dew of youth all
vanished, should kiss-should walk
arm in arm under moonlight.
Walks in the moonlight, kisses
under trees her thoughts of love
fIoatcd on these impalpable wings,
She was content with this-not
ready to face any tangible problem.
She thought of herself married TO
Dane but it was always in this

any rules governing smoking by
women.
Good news. There is none.
But-on the other hand. Only one
woman smoker has been seen in a San
Antonio hotel lobby during the last
six months.
I'VE have so few cases of women
smoking in Hobbies that we really don
need a rule" n manager said. "Of
course, they smoke in their rooms. and
some smoke in the cafe or roof, but !
haven't seen any in the more exposed
lobby. If they want to, l suppose it
would be all right"
A check up of other San Antonio
hotels showed the same situation OK

CLEMENCY FOR JAIL
INMATE, NEAR DEATH,
SOUGHT BY FRIENDS

Claiming he has bu5 short time
to live, friends of Charlie Henderson,
negro, now serving a 99-year term
for the killing of his wife, arc circu-
lating a petition for his pardon.
District Attorney c. NJ. Chambers,
Thursday, when the petition reached
the courthouse, declined to sign it.
1t is understood four other officials
at the courthouse signed the recon-
mendation for clcmcncy.
Henderson was sentenced in 1920 to
serve 90 years and has credit for four
years, having been granted six months
on good behavior.
Charles S. Baxter, foreman of the
jury which convicted Henderson, said
that, though for the death penalty at
the time Of the trial and later COM
promised on a. life term, he would sign
the petition if certain Henderson has

CEREMONY
At ARMY POST
IS REGULAR
AS SU n
Guard Never Known to Be-
Late at Reveille or
Retreat.

With n regularity equal to that ot
the rising and the setting OF the sun,
the national colorS are hoistcd at re-
veille and lowered at retreat at post
headquarters and in the infantry post
at Fort Sam Houston.
The hour for rcvcillc and retreat
changes with the seasons, but never
does the ceremony OF raising or lower
ing the flag vary a moment from the
proper time.
Day after day, year after year, with
the firing of the cannon at rcveille,
Old Glory is started up the mast by
enlisted men Of the guard.
NEVER LATE.
Such a thing as a guard detail be-
ing late in the performance of this
duty, is thing unknown in the army.
The flag remains at the top of the
mast from rCveille until retreat except
ut such times as it is flown at half
staff, rs in case of death of an officer
or public dignitary.
Immediately following the firing OF
the gun at retreat. lowering of the
flag begins with the playing of "The
Star SpanglCd Banner" by the band.
The flag is lowered slowly so that it
will reach the hands of the men with
the last note of the music.
KEPT IN GUARD HOUSE.
Where only field music is available
ITO the Colors" is played during the
lowering of the flag.
The flag is never permitted to touch
the ground. The outstretched hands of
one of the men catch it as it descends.
1t is then folded in triangular form
and carried TO the guard house for
keeping through the night.
Neither does worn out flag reach
the ground. 1t cannot be condemned
and ordered destroyed by an inspector.
The adjutant takes the flag when 1t
can no longer he used, and he alone
witnesses its disposal.
THREE SIZES.
The flag is flown at halfstaft
throughout the dag when an officer
dies and also during the funeral of
an enlisted man.
Before being placed at halfstaff, it
must be raised to the top of the mast
and lowered to halfstaff from that
position. In lowering the flag from
halfstaff it has to be raised TO the
top of the mast first.
Three sizes of flags are authorized.
The garrison flag is IS feet by 20 feet
and is flown on holidays and i'm
portant occasions. The post flag is -
feet by 10 feet in size and is flown
during pleasant weather. A storm
flag 91-2 feet by feet is author
lied for stormy and windy weather.

Champion Chef, Only IA,
Boasts Record of No
Casualties Yet.
By BESS CARROLL.

CampfircS made with flint and steel
(and often with pcrspiration plus di
vine suppliCation) are burning in
Landa Park, New Braunfcls, where
Boy Scouts from seven counties are
having their annual summer outing.
Unless fire is forthcoming from the
primitive method of striking flint on
steel, nobody eats in the Boy Scout
camp. And many a hungry boy trying
to coax sparks from the matches of

What more could any boy desire?
Revcillc is at G:1j, but it isn't the
ordinary kind of reveille. \ mere
bugle wouldn't affect the snoring of
those boys, so Arthur Michael, Scout
Commissioned. has devised n reycillc

sisting mostly of drum music, which
paradcs thoroughly and at length.
Thus persuaded to get up, the boys
begin a busy day of athletics, school
and sport.
WORK AT CAMP.
The kinds of things those Boy
Scouts do would probably produce
heart failure among their parents il
they were done at home-the spectacle
of small boys willingly working SC
hard would be too much. For they
study and clean camp and keep their
tents neat and orderly. Merit badges
are awarded each day to the troop hav'

TARIFF COMMISSION
INQUIRY is SOUGHT
Senator Robinson Asks Senate
Probe Into Recent Sugar In
vestigation by Body.

An investigation OF the Tariff Com
mission was asked today in a reso-
luton offered by Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, the Democratic leader.
The inquiry would be conducted by
the Senate finance committee with a
view of determining whether any
pressure had been brought to bear on
members of this commission in con-
nection with the sugar investlga-
ton.
Under the rules the resolution went
over for day. Senator Robinson
made no explanation beyond having
the text read and its introduction led
to no imme mediate debate.
The move of the Democratic leader
is one in a long sequence of charges
and countercharges revolving about
the study of sugar duties. The resolu-
ton pointed repeatedly to reports he said
had appeared indicating that Presi-
dent Coolidge might undertake TO
reorganiZe the commission because of
disputes within its membership. 1t
also declared Mr.. Coolidge "after
long delay" had failed to act on
findings of the commission.
THE act creating the commission
it said, does not necessarily con-
template unanimity of views of the
Numbers" but provides otherwise.
