level fixed by the 1927 Jadwin plan

Most any library can attract read
ers, but when people come to see
instead of read it is unusual. This
is the case at the Rauh Memorial
library. which is visited each month
by countless numbers of city and
out-of-town folk who come to in
spect the spacious and beautiful
mansion in which it is located.
This library, the former home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel E. Rauh, To-
Gated at 1924 North Meridian street,
was given to the city by them In
1929.
It's beautiful rooms make reading
a pleasure and afford ample space
for club meetings of adult and
juvenile patrons. The children's
reading room is located in what
formerly was the sun parlor.

In the minds of millions of resi-

Engineers say they will unless
there is exceptionally high water this

The entire district is at the mer-

Another appeal was made to the
union.
The mill then secured an injunc-

with the business of the Kraemer

While hearings we're being held
on the Injunction, seven workers
were discharged by the mill because
of their testimony. At once ma
iority of workers in the mill struck.
Judge Russell c. Stewart found that
the union representatives had not
advised the strike, and had not
asked workers to join the union, but
he made the injunction permanent.

Objected to Rules

Outside the mill strikers meet
each day in a room several blocks
up the street. Everything is quiet.
But neither side intends to give up
the fight.
The trouble began when new
superintendent was installed in the
hosiery mill and introduced rules to
which the workers objected. There
were complaints against several Of
the foremen. Some of the workers
sent to the American Federation of
Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers for
aid in forming a union. A meet

charged those who signed up for
the union. But after some discus

promise of improved conditions.

It is a wellknown fact that

And then marriage is blamed

It is undeniable that when
young girls speculate about the
marriage state, that they sur
round it with imaginative pic
lures that are exceedingly high

To many women, marriage.
indeed, is the greatest purple
patch" on their lives. That is
as it should be, provided the
woman maintains a certain
elasticity of mind.
II she does, and the marriage
does not turn out quite as
Realistically as she had hoped,
then she still can readjust her
concepts and still maintain a
sane and balanced view.
But if she does not, If she
insists upon having her beauti-
full pictures realized or moth
ing-then she is doomed to a
continued state Of conflict and
disappointment that practically
always leads to some degree Of
nervousness.
A althy, well-adjusted
woman is not upset by marriage.
She finds in marriage a
natural expression Of her inner
self.
But these other women, who
develop nervousness after mar
riage, usually have already been
nervous, or at least have had a
nervous breakdown before
marriage.
Marriage merely brings their
nervousness to a crisis.
Marriage is bound to have
