Providing books for these last named reasons should not be looked upon as the lesser functions of a public library since recreation and diversion play 'so important a part in contributing to the mental health of the community.

Pleasant Relief
 From Constipation

Shoulders droop under weight of years. Young, yet beauty has fled. Cheeks are sallow and drawn. Un- slightly pimples. Keep your system clean and you keep the beauty of youth. It's energy. Its irresistible charm. Then life is not failure.
 Clogged bowels and inactive liver cause poisons to seep through the system. Health vanished and with it beauty and energy. Dr Ed wards Olive Tablets will help save you from this dark hour. For 20 years they have been prescribed in place of calomel to men and wom- en seeking health and freedom from constipation. They act easily and smoothly. No dangerous grip ing. Take nightly before retiring. Results will amaze you.
 Thousands of men and women would never be without Dr Ed wards Olive Tablets, a vegetable compound. Know them by their olive color. 15c, BOG and COG. All druggists.

The Reference Department.

The reference use of library is in it's broadcast sense the consult ing of books and periodicals within the library as opposed to their home use through circulation. Books so used are seldom if ever read page by page, but, as the word reference" implies, are re- ferred to for the answer to de- finite question or for information on specific subject. Thus the re- ference room with an attendant in charge 12 hours day serves as q kind of universal encyclopaedia for the general public. During the year 7,25O requests for information were recorded in this department. The type of question on which the library is called upon to furnish information may be seen from a few which are listed:
 Is supreme court justice pen siosed or retired

Sacks said he would begin nego-

The Kingfish, whose ego is
matched only by that of the

quite willing to meeting with
Sharkey.
"Sharkey is a big bum," said
Levinsky. Il could lick him easily.

Tom Patrick, young Irish slugger,
held the California heavyweight
title today, through his eight
round technical knockout victory at
Olympic auditorium over Dynamite

Patrick, who weighed ITS pounds,
gave away IS pounds to jackson,
and was leading by wide margin
when Referee Harry Lee halted the
battle because of Jackson's badly
cut eye.
The irish lad slugged like the
best of them, and showed more en-
durance than he had been given
credit for. He slapped Jackson
down for a nine-count in the first
round.
Lee Ramage took the heavy
weight crown away from Jackson
after it was created, but he failed
to defend it within six months, and

any close prizeiight decision. And
few critics gave the bout to Sehmel-
ing by a lopsided margin.
But Sharkey. his manager, john
ny Buckley, and the Sharkey sup
porters insisted loudly that the Bos-
ton COB won the decision clearly,
and some claimed by a wide mar
gin.
Jacobs claimed Schmehng forced
the fighting throughout, was never
hurt at any time, and piled up 4
big lead. What more could be
expected of him?" he oueried.
Opinion Divided
The spectators were divided on
the matter and they mingled cheers
and boos
At the Sharkey dressing room,
there was no uncertainty, no gloom
everything was confidently gay
Said Sharkey. We'll, boys. I Ger
tainly proved I do not fall down il
a crisis. I guess I came through
this time all right What's all this
talk about my losing my head, eh?
Sharkey'S left eye was swollen
almost shut, and his face was
slightly redeemed from blows.
But. I'll admit" he continued,
i did not have an easy victory, al
though I won by a clear margin.
Il have had a lot OF bad breaks
during the last eight years, 1 tried
and tried for the title, and now I've
finally got it. Am I happy?'
Schmeling claimed Sharkey fouleo
him six times with low blows, and
that these should have been counted
in the official scoring, even if Of

chased Sharkey all over the ring

and jeers greeted it. The jeers sur
prised for Sharkey had been the
sentimental favorite.
Verdict Unpopular
The crowd was not happy that
Gunboat Smith, the refree, and
George Kelly, a judge, overruled
Charley Mathison, who thought
Schmeling had won.
Joe Jacobs, Schmeling's manager,
called the decision robbery" He
recalled that last week he threat
ened to keep his man from the ring
if "a certain man" was referee.
Today he said he meant Gunboat
Smith. Joe, however, did not keep
"his man" from the ring, nor did
he protest formally the selection of
the Gunboat.
Upward of $4,000 persons jammed
into the arena, fought for seats, and
stood at the last railing stretching
a quarter of a mile back from the
ring.
1t was all Sharkey at the outset
He flicked that long left arm con-
stantly in Schmeling'S face. He
was on defensive, a strange picture
OF the contender waiting for the
champion to come on. His right
arm was held cooked, ready to go,
but never seemed to have anywhere
to go.
And so it went up to the 10th
round Then Schmeling seemed to
recall that he had a left. He tried
it a few times and it worked.
From then on, the big bout be-
came more of a fight. Shalkey's
left eye began to close.
In the 14th and 18th rounds there
was real livelinesS. Sharkey seemed
firing. The young German from
the Black Forests seemed untiring.

EMPEROR JONES'
PLAYS EXHIBITION
WITH CHAMPION
By LEO PETERSEN
lited Press Staff Correspondent


FLUSHING, N. Y, June %. -
Bobby Jones, playing a round just
for fun, and Gene Sarazen, faced
contestants in the national open
golf championship on their final
practice shots today
Jones and SaraZen, fresh from
his triumph in the 1892 British
open, were engaging in an informal
exhibition match.
Most of the field had arrived
this morning, and practically every
one of the ISL entrants will make
the final preliminary tours of the
lengthy and difficult Fresh Meadow
club course The championship
play begins tomorrow.
The threat lodged against the
club management for its refusal to
be a party to a pari-mutuel betting
scheme on the tournament outcome
appeared to have been dissipated.
The tournament shaped up as
real thriller. Most of the foreign
threat will be made by Jose Jurado,
smali-statIred Argentine profess
sional. who came within an ace of
winning the British title last year.
The other invader is Tomakiki
Miyamoto, former Japaneses cham
pion. The japanese plays a nice
game of golf, but only by going
crazy" could he be given an out
side chance of winning the open.
Chief re-tournament speculation
centered on Sarazen, George Won
Elm, Mac Smith and Tommy Ar
mour. Sarazen is playing some of
the best golf of his career, and 10
years after he won his first and
only U. S. open title, has the best
chance of any player in the field.
Won Elm, runnerup to Billy Burke
last year, is a dangerous threat.
Chances held by Mac Smith are
we'll liked by many of his brother
pros. Tommy Armour, former
British and U. S. open champion,
is rated among the first 10.

NE WYORK, June %. U.P) -
Jack Sharkey today challenged the
heavyweight fighters of the world
to come and get the worlds cham
pionship he took from Max
Schmeling last night-a title many
critics said should have remained
the Germans.
Within IS minutes after two
judges decided Jack had defeated
the dark-haired German champion
thereby restoring the title to the
United States-Sharkey announced
he would be fighting champion" F."
II won the title honestly" he
said. Now I will defend it. I will
be a fighting champion"
What matter to him the boos the
crowd gave the decision? What
matter the protests of Joe Jacobs,
Schmeling'S manager? What mat
ter his own closed left eye?
II was not hurt he said. Il am
going back to Boston and will decide
on my next plans. But you can
say for me that I will Keep on
fighting"
Sharkey drove his left hand to
the heavyweight championship OF
the world.
The $1,000 fans in the new Madi-
son Square Garden bowl watched,
often apathetically, as the COB
flicked that arm to the face of the
young Uhlan. Sometimes it was
painful. Other times it was just
tantalizing fist which blocked the
German champion.
In the late rounds, Sharkeys left
seemed to lose its sting. Schmeling
rushed. He jabbed a left that had
been held almost tied in the early
rounds. He flashed a hard right
which Jared Sharkey and closed
his left eye.
In fact, Schmeling came back Sc
strong that at the close-as the
crowd waited tensely for the ver-
dict-there were intermittent cheers
for Herr Make" When the de-
cision was announced boos, catcalls
