CLERKS OFFICE GETS
NEW TYPE OF SHELF
Much Wear and Tear viii
Be Saved Records

| New cases of shelves to hold APP
proximately 200 books have been
| installed in the vault of the Clerk S
| Office here. These shelves are of
the new design, of which a number
were installed last winter for trial
They are a vast Improvement ov-
| er the old type or rack, will be q
great saver of book binding costs
and will preserve the county rec
ords III much better shape and for
longer period of time than would
be possible III the old cases.
Heretofore the books have been
kept in racks which We're series
Of rollers, the books being, rolled
in and out OF their position for use
on the desks This type of case is
IN use all over the country and up
until recently was considered the
best bet for the purpose.
The new shelves eliminate much
wear and tear on the Books They
are shelves. not racks, and each
book lies fiat on a solid shelf in
stead OF rollers. The shelves
themselves slide in and out of the
cases, taking the wear that former
erly was absorbed by the cover Of
the books.
Because the Shelf is so made that
books cannot be taken from the
eases with one hand, but so that
both hands must be used in the
process, there is little chance for
careless handling, throwing or
dropping, and the bindings are kept
in good shape for many years be
yond the former natural length OF
life.
Like all new innovations, these 4
shelves have not found favor with
all the people who must handle the
books. They complain that it takes
longer and is more difficult to re-
move and replace books than with
the old type or rack. This is true.
but the difference in time is neg
Iigible. The fact that it requires
q little more time or effort in hand
ling by those who make it a bust
ness to search the records is of
very secondary Importance, in the
view of County Clerk William A.
Blair.
Mr.. Blair's position is that the
county records are OF much greater
importance than the comfort or
time of any individual. They are
a vital necessity, and must be pre-
served, not for a few years, but as
long as the world stands. Every
bit of wear on the books that can
be eliminated is of much greater
value to the public than the cost of
bindings or covers. Continued re-
binding and recovering of the Rec
ords will eventually make them less
and less useful and the cost of re-
recording would be enormous, to
say nothing Of the danger of less
or error.
The new cases and shelves are
the product of the Record Book
Cabinet Co, of Atlantic City, and
are fully patented. The company
has Desn booking orders from all
oveg the United States and is now
ready to manufacture the cases IN
large Quantities.

Definition for
Dissecting Grid Rules
Clipping Given
BY E. j. O'BRlEN
Famous Football Referee

Clipping is not always easy for
officials to decide, so there is little
wonder that spectators will be heard
to remark that, in their opinion, a
certain man was guilty Of this foul.
Years ago, clipping was termed
"ham-stringing." That is, when a
player would throw himself at the
lower part and back Of the legs OF
an opponent going down the field,
and in so doing would toss the man
to the ground in such way that ne
would pull the so-called ham-strlng
tendons from their attachments and
would probably put him out of ath-
letics for life.
That is why this rule was put IN
the book and why it calls for the
longest specified distance penalty.
Clipping is throwing the body
from behind. across the leg or legs
(below the knees) Of player MOI
carrying the ball. This, however,
does not apply to close line play.
The rules committee is very anx-
ious to eliminate this foul and +
made the penalty-loss of 25 yards
from the spot Of the foul. This is
the longest distance penalty except
in cases involving disqualification
which is for half the distance to the
goal line.
