sPoiiT AND THE TIGER
10 take 4 tiger by surprise
Within his jungle lair

The tiger cannot see the gua
Behind the blazing light,
And so he does not turn and run
And save himself By flight,
He merely wonders what it is
So dazzllnS to his view
He growls n little bit---thon whizz-
He's through.
This is not sport-true Nimrods say
The noble hearted brute
Should have chance to get away
Before the hunters shoot,
Or if he does not choose % flee
But stands with lavering jaws
And in his righteous wrath makes
free
With his own teeth and claws
The wounded hunter should not mean,
But manfuHy declare
That what the tiger did was on
IIy fair.
But if a tiger we should meet,
Although we bore in mind
That we no doubt would be cheat
If we should make him blind,
We'd turn a flashlight on his eyes
And let him blink and glare
In mingled fury and surprise
Till we got out of there.
To safety we'd forthwith resort
And let the searchlight glow
Nor give a rap if it was sport
Or no.

Public Purchases 7,77O, 1872
Government Publications
in a Year.

Washington. document divi-
sion of the government printing Of
fee, which, under the superintend-
ent of documents, has charge of the
distribution and sale of nearly all
government publications, except those
allotted to members of congress, last
year made sales amounting to $487,-
922.63, an increase of $47017.70 over
the preceding year, and $194,551 more
than for the fiscal year 1921, ac-
cording to George H. Carter, United
States public printer.
In the fiscal year 1925 the docu-
ment division sold 7,770,7S2 copies of
various government publications, an
increase OF 526,O41 over the sales for
1924 Most of these publications were
ordered by letters, of which 375,5T1
were received during the year. A
large number also were sold over the
counter of the government bookstore
on the ground floor of the Document
building.
The increasing sale of government
publications is especially noteworthy,
says Mr. Carter, in view of the fact
that the office has no funds for adver-
Using its products and has to compete
with free distribution by members of
congress and other officers of the gov
eminent.
The sale of government publications
could be greatly increased, declares
Mr.. Carter, by ending the present
wasteful method of free distribution
which cannot supply all the demands
and is therefore of benefit only to
comparatively few persons. The
charge for government publications,
it is pointed out, is nominal, based
upon reprint cost, plus 10 per cent.
With this low cost no real reason is
seen by the public printer why the
distribution of practically all govern
ment publications should not be put
on sales basis and every one thus
given equal consideration in the sup
ply of public documents.
Would Help Pay for Printing.
Increased sales would, of course,
help compensate the government for
the cost of printing" the report con-
tinues, "but material growth in
sales, unless accompanied by a re-
duction of the free copies, would ne
cessitate an additional force and a
larger building for the document divi-
sion, which is already seriously over
crowded. Therefore, any plan for the
increased sale and distribution of gov
eminent publications should, of neces-
sity, take into consideration additional
facilities and larger quarters for the
document division.
During the fiscal year 1925 the
document division distributed 54,OS4,-
45S copies Of publications. About
100000 of these copies were pur-
chased by the public. The distribution
was made in 21,372, 292 packages. fill

TN order to meet the demand for

stock of fully 100000 copies, includ-
ing almost every publication issued

century. During the year the super
intendent of documents received

the year 2,645,5 31 obsolete ana useless
copies, which had been ordered by the
departments in former years, had to be
disposed of as waste paper. Millions
more of government publications will
have to be consigned to the scrap
heap year after year, if the present
excess printing for free distribution
continues and no additional space is
provided for their storage.

makes it possible to furnish infor-

Better Library Service.
Better service is being rendered
the depository libraries than ever be-
fore, as indicated by the increasing
number of libraries that have found
it advantageous to secure congress
sional designation as repositories of
government publications. BY the
new law allowing repositories to Sc
lect the class of publications to be
furnished by the government, the de-
pository libraries have been relieved
of the unbearable burden heretofore
imposed in having to receive and store
copies of every publication printed
by the government
Under the selection plan only 80
of the designated depository libraries
elected to take copies of all govern
ment publications; $50 libraries re-
ceive more than 80 per cent Of the
list, and 1T3 Of the smaller Libraries
less than so per cent. or only the
publications Of special interest to
their patrons. This plan has ef-
fected saving in the printing of
thousands of publications, which here
tofore the libraries had to discard
after time owing to lack of space
or usefulness.
"Another agreeable service to the
depository libraries is the immediate
delivery of all congressional docu-
ments and reports that are of suffi-
cient size to be bound separately.
Formerly it was necessary to hold
all these publications until after the

and then attempted to shoot him. The

close Of a session of congress so that
they could be bound in sets. Many
publications of congress were obso-
lete or useless before they were sent
to the libraries The more prompt de-
livery was made possible through the
cooperation. of the joint committee
on printing in adopting the new meth
cd of distribution as proposed by this
Office"
Many obstacles are encountered by
the document division which are I'M
known to most mail-order houses, it is
pointed out by the superintendent
of documents. The question of stock
Is always an uncertain quantity, he
states, since, as general rule very
little information is had on which to
base requirements. Publicity from
unanticipated sources often exhausts
the supply and aside from creating
delays while reprints are made, if the
publication was run from type and
not plated, refunds have to be made.
Would Facilitate Payments.
'The adoption by the government of
a legal tender of small amounts along
the line of the Canadian postal note
would be a great convenience, not
only for the public in ordering gov
eminent publications, but for any one
patronizing mail-order house where
small remittances are involved" de-
clares the superintendent in his re-
port to the public printer.
Although we advertise that post
age stamps will not be accepted, last
year more than $4,000 worth we're
received as remittances. If we could
not find an outlet for these stamps it
would be necessary to return them
as unacceptable for the reason that
they cannot be converted into cash.
Fortunately our foreign business has
grown to such an extent that we were
able to use all of them. / am con-
vinced that advertising of stamps as
unacceptable keeps a great many
people from ordering publications.
THE generous policy of the United
States government in it's free distribu-
ton of publications has no doubt
served to depreciate their value
Those opposed to a restricted free
distribution might be interested in
knowing that Great Britain since the
war has discontinued even its pre-
war limited free distribution, and now
all libraries have to purchase their
copies.
"The British government, recogniz-
ing the value of its publications, in
1887 passed a resolution permitting
the reprinting of information con-
tanned in a majority of them. The
policy is similar to ours, in that we
do not allow copyrighting. The two
countries also entertain similar views
in their practice of charging the prime
cost to the government, so that the
public may purchase at a nominal
cost for paper, presswork and bind
ing"
