Provides Reading For
Many People
More Than 10000 Books
Drawn From Library In
Past Year

Approximately 10000 books were
drawn from the Sheridan County
Free Library during the past year
according to Elizabeth Baker, librar-
ian.
The figures are approximate, but
are well over that number, for in
cluded in the list thus specified are
the circulation of library books
through the rural schools of the
county. Teachers of these schools
visit the library on an average of
about once month and draw from
ten to twenty books which are not
recorded in the general circulation.
The library maintains ten branch
es (not county rural schools) from
which large number of books were
put into circulation. The grand total
of books taken out from these
branches and the main library num-
bered 14,801 volumes. The demand
for adult books exceeded slightly
that for juvenile reading The total
number of books drawn by adults be-
ing 1859 while those of juvenile type
were 7,142.
Fiction overbalanced non-fiction in
the demand of both adult and juvenile

Hospital Day
February Il, 1929

You all familiar with the story of the Good
Samaritan-the who loved his neighbor as
himself
He didn't ask the stricken stranger Icing
along the roadside what church he belonged to,
what lodge he affiliated WITH whether he was
Democrat, Republican Socialist or if he had ev-
er been in jail-but moved with compassion he
dressed the strangers wounds helped him to his
feet and broug hit him to town where he could be
properly cared for
We admonished to regard our neighbor in
the same light as did the Good Samaritan
Community Hospital Day, Tuesday Febru-
ary Y, presents opportunity for all of us to be
Good Samaritans. We can all give our support to
the efforts of the Hospital Association in raising the
fund sought on that day.
The Sheridan Memorial Hospital is giving and
has always given indispensable service to the
community. 1t may be that you have not been
benefited directly by it. 1t may be that you will
never have occasion to require its shelter If such
be the case be grateful and consider those who NAV
be less fortunate than yourself
If you have been served by this institution
you will understand and appreciate the privilege
given you to help perpetuate its good work.

JAIL TREATMENT AIDS
USERS OF NARCOTICS
Eight Addiets Responding So Well
0Mcials May Adopt Plan
as Permanent,

Eight prisoners in the District Jail
addicted to the use Of nareotics-the
largest number confined in the jail at
one time IN recent IaOnths-are denied
the diminishing doses often prescribed
under similar conditions, and are re-
spending 50 well that jail ofilcials are
disposed 70 adopt the treatment Is
permanent
The cold turkey treatment, as it is
called, operates to place the addict on a
diet designed to fortify his system
against the dem Ands. on the nervous
system arising out of use Of narcotics.
DR.. Morris Lyman, jail physician. has
found that slight sickness results In
some cases, but that 1t wears OF after
few days. Depriving the addict of
the particular drug to which ne has
been accustomed has not resulted In
serious effects in any case, despite that
some have been accustomed to take
large amounts.
Despite the care with which prisoner
addicts are treated and cared for and
announcement given them in efforts to
break the habit, jail ofncials have
learned that In the great majority of
cases cures are temporary. Although
cured to the point where the nervous
system no longer requires the stimulant.
prisoners often turn to the drug on
their release.

A. U. DRAMATIC CLUB
PRESENTS SHAW PLAY
Faculty Of the College Of Liberal
Arts Joins in Program at
Gymnasium.

"Fanny's First Play" comedy by
George Bernard Shaw, was presented
last night by the American University
Dramatic Club In conjunction with the
faculty of the College of Liberal Arts
at the university gymnasium auditorium
before an audience that filled the big
structure.
The comedy was interpreted smartly
by cast including both faculty mem
bers and students, under direction of

played the role, OF Count O'Dowda with
distinction.
Outstanding among the performances
were those by Orrel Belle Claim rs

color, pink and white, according to the
color OF the coral over which it passed.
It proceeds swiftly through the sea like
o folded umbrella, the webs between It's
tentacleS q lovely green matching the
color of the green coral sand. Usually
it hides in holes in the coral, and ale
ways travels alone. The creature, M.
Chaverlange says, Is especially album
dant just before rain. when natives
watch for them and try to spear them,
either for food or bait for other fishes.
The perfect defense against an octopus,
he says, is to turn it upside down after
happening 1t. Then the struggling
creature is helpless.
M. Chaverlange'S special study has
been the color scheme Of the ocean
beds, with the multi-hued, fantastic
forms of the new coral rearing its
structures on the green banks of dead
coral, the great swarnns Of yellow, red,
scarlet, blue and green butterfly fishes
and the green parrot fishes with their
prominent beaks. These, he says, be-
accustomed to visitor. They scatter
when he flrst comes among them, but
IN q few minutes begin to gather about
him and even to nibble at his arms and
legs. Surrounded by them and working
rapidly all the time on canvas with q
palette knife, he is able to paint them
true to life. Prominent features Of the
undersea landscape, he says, are the
olive-drag sponges growing in weird,
tree-lke forms, their interstices filled
with tiny fish, so that they seem liter
ally covered with bright, peering eyes.
Green Fog ENVELOPES Everything.
THE most prominent feature of the
undersea landscape" M. Chaverlange
says, 'is the floating, translucent green
fog which envelopes everything. All the
scape seem to be emerging out Of this
fog, as If they were bits OF the fog,
assuming weird shapes. The whole
landscape is such as one hardly would
expect to find on earth; such as one
might read about in imaginary descrip-
tons Of the scenery on the moon or on
another planet. 1t Is like discovering q
new world within . world"
The landscape on the sea bottom, he
says, has gone undiscovered so long
because nobody has taken the trouble
to observe 1t from an artistic perspec-
tive. Men in diving suits see every
thing with 4 distorted perspective, he
insists, and lack the necessary freedom
of movement which Is made possible by
his own device. With the nose closed
with q clothespin, he says. 1t probably
would be possible to stay down indefi-
nitely by means of the rubber tube, but
he has been warned that it might be
very dangerous after half hour, due
to the accumulation Of expelled air in
the tube.
Both M. and Nine Chaverlange in
tend to spend the rest of their lives In
the South Seas amid the weird beauty
which they have discovered. Even be-
fore the war he had wandered far in
pursuit of his vocation as q painter.
The outbreak of hostilities found him
in Northern Canada. He returned to
France and served through the entire
four years, much Of the time in the
front lines

Retirement of Four
Officers Rescinded So
They May Get More

In order that four policemen,
retired for physical disability, will
be enabled to receive q higher re-
tirement allowance. the Dis
. trict Commissioner yesterday
reScinded their previous action
in retiring the men and placed
them on duty until March IS.
The four men, Pvts. John T.
Herbert, Henry r. Levi, Henry
Backenheimer and Christopher
G. Saunders, had been found
physically incapacitated for fur
= ther duty at the recent physical
examination Of officers over the
age of IS.
The men were ordered retired
by the Commissioners, but after
this order had been put into eff
feet, Maj. Henry q. Pratt, SUPER,
intendent Of police, learned about
q new association formed among
policemen, the Police Retiring
Association, which pays its men,
bers 81 900 on retirement. This
association will not begin pay
ments until March IS. Maj. Pratt,
therefore, recommended that the
Commissioners rescind their pre-
vious action and place the men
on light duty until March IS.
The Commissioners, on motion
Of Proctor L. Dougherty, agreed.
Each of. the men now will get
the 81 900 In cash in addition to
the regular retirement pay of
$3.50 per month.
