The date of meter reading for the
Cumberland and Allegheny Gas COM
pany changed on October l, according
to R. R. Gilbert, local manager. This

to the 10th. Other divisions of the
company will be similarly affected.

Honorable Mention. "

Honorable mention Is given to those
who render conspicuous service on the
field of action Honorable mention Is
given to those who render like con-
spicuous service in the peaceful pur-
suits of daily life. A whole Nation Is
thrilled by the daring exploits of a
single individual, and one outstanding
feat of courage checks for the while our
selfish pursuits and ambitions. Incl
dents OF this character, that repeat
themselves now and again, lend fresh
ened zest and enthusiasm to world
whose pursuits are colorleSs, drab and
unintereSting. One single incident re-
corded in the daily press is seized with
avidity and regarded as fresh demon
stration of the 1irtue that resides in the
race. Materialistic as we may have be-
come, selfish as we sometimes seem to
be, nevertheless we respond with alac-
rity to the appeal Of the heroic. If, as
Emerson says. "all men are commanded
by the saint with equal force, 1t may
be said, all men are commanded by
the hero. A striking incident Of what
we have In mind occurred but recently.
Floyd Bennett, a naval aviator, who
had distinguished himself in one of
the most remarkable aerial flights
the world has ever known, re-
spending to a call of mercy, took
his flight in the face of an i'm
pending physical breakdown, only to
arrive at his destination in a condition
so grave that within a few days his life
was spent and his service over. 1t was
one of those superb ventures, inspired
by the finest courage and character
lied by an utter disregard of self. OF
him 1t can be truly said. Greater love
hath no man than this, that man lay
down his life for his friends" The
service was a costly one, but who will
deny that in this display of utter de-
votion he made a contribution to life,
of deep and lasting value? Such a
man exemplifies all that is best and
noblest in life. Brief as its span was,
untimely as was its termination. who
will rise to say that 1t was not worthily
lived or that 1t failed of its highest ac-
complishment?
That I'VE live in deeds, not years.:
that the value of life is not measured

business assume the foremost position
in modern life. There are some to
deprecate Americas attention to BUSH
ness, but, rightly considered, It may be
said that business is simply life.
And life. as lived by moo rms, de-
mands books. For books are, after all.
but the summing up of the wisdom vi
those who have gone before. Libraries
are the repositories of what men have
thought and dreamed.
So many have been the books pub
lished. however, that the library de-
voted to one special subject. or set Of
subjects, has come into its own. To-
day the modern business, whether in
dustriai or professional, finds that a
library is not luxury, but necessity.
It is perhaps not generally known
that Washington possesses more OF these
special libraries than any other city in
the United States. owing. of course. to
the fact that the seat of National Gov
ernment is here.
There are many of the worlds great
est book collections tucked away in
Government buildings in this city. They
range from the gigantic collection of
the Library of Congress to scores of
severely specialized libraries used only
by few.
Yet all these collections are open to
the student, in whatever walk Of life
he may be, and the seeker of knowledge
living in Washington should make II
point to hunt them out and avail him
self of their services.

ment was converted into the Forest
Service in 1905.
From an annual appropriation of less
than $4,000 has grown the one in 1927
of more than Sl0000,000. This last
amount does not cover the cost of con-
struction and maintenance of roads
and trails, but does include funds for
the suppression OF fires and other de-
structive agencies, cooperative fire
protection, cooperative distribution OF
forest planting stock and for the pur-
chase of additional forest lands.
There are 100 national forests which
are divided into eight districts, with a
total net area of 158 300, ,424 acres in
1927. The Intermomtain district has
the largest net area with 29,451 ,992
acres. and the Eastern district has the
smallest with only one-seventh as much
territory, or 4.047,982 acres.
The districts are known as the
Northern, Rocky Mountain. South

Nelson's time" This la probably true
of that period of Britain's greatest
naval glory. At the same time, however,
1t might be called to the officers at

came from these shores, and came very

service is reckoned not by It's bulk but
by It's quality, Is evident to all OF us In
our better hours.
We are approaching another one of
our national memorial days-days that
bring back to memory the deeds OF the
heroic dead who counted not their
lives dear unto themselves. These are
the days that remind us Of our true
greatness. We have come to think too
much in this day and generation of the
bulk of our assets, the richness of our
resources and the strength of our un-
measured power. After all, these are
not the things that call for honorable
mention. They have their place and
their use, but they are not the things
we point to with pride and deep salts
faction We have been passing through
days of unprecedented prosperity we
have witnessed our increasing riches
and our growing strength as a Nation,
and here and there have been con-
spicuous signs that the heights of spir-
itual vision to which we attained dur
ing the period of the World War have
been forgotten and lost sight Of 1t
takes a day of blessed and sacred men,
ory to remind us of that which consti-
tutes at once our security, our peace
and our largest happiness.
To gain honorable mention calls for
and demands self-sacrifcing service.
The real greatness of a nations soul
is disclosed In those who have sensed
the enduring worth of things spiritual.
impoverished, indeed, would we be did
we not have those among us who dare
to dream dreams and see visions. A
single Floyd Bennett, emerging from
obscurity and becoming the high ex-
emplar Of selhess service, arouses with
in each one Of us better hopes and
higher aspirations, We are all seekers
after honorable mention. In a single
act we examp!ify the high teachings of
Him who gave TO the world the lottiest
vision of service 1t has ever known. The
persistence of Jesus In human thought
is In demonstration of the power of a
love that comprehends within its reach
all life and reckons not with sacrifice,
that it may serve all ends.
If we would serve our day and gen.

way, be 1t long or short, and secure that

WashingtOniana.

There is a beautiful lily named Wash
ingtoniana. but the newly installed
Washingtoniana division of the Public
Library contains rather the flowers of
the mind In relation to the city In
which the National Government func-
tions.
Now that members of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
have officially visited the section given
over to work relative to the District OF
Columbia, its history and features over
the years. 1t behooves every private citi-
zen to inspect the exhibit.
Not only will the individual find there
much of passing interest, but he will be
able, after an hour spent in the Wash
ingtoniana division, to store away in
his mind the following fact: That here
is the very place to come when he wants
to ind out something.
This applies to the entire Public
Library, of course, whose resources and
staff always are at the command OF
every citizen, but it comes home with
peculiar force in relation to this new
division.
Who is there who has not, at some
time or other. encountered a question
or even INDUCED In a dispute, concern
ing some phase Of Washington life
