Using Library Wisely

II Is one thing to own library It

care people devote to selection OF what
they read. Books, we know, are al

many people read almost by hazard.
They will take any book they chance
to find In a room at friends house;

New HoUen Sinner

In 1917 william Blagden, a resident
Of New Haven, had the misfortune to
fail into the water late one Saturday
night he could light no fire on Sun
day according to his Interpretation of
the blue laws, so while his suit and
undcrgarments were drying In the air,
william lay In bed to keep warm and
did not go to church. They kept close
watch In those days on delinquent
w0rshipcrs, so this offender was called
upon to explain. In spite OF what
would seem n very good excuse, Blag-
den was adjudged guilty OF "sloath.
fulncss" and sentenced TO be "pub.
