 Amy dragged him away from tho subject, She hated her small uncomfortable qualification when he said sharp things about Jane. She hated not wanting to defend Jane oven though she did defend her. And she didn't want to hear Howard Jackson's name. Edgar was willing to talk of other things, He was a bit ashamed of attacking Jane so violently and because he was in love with Amy he was sensitive to her moods and could fool something secret and SOTO behind her words. But he did not suspect anything more than that Jane had boon irritat- Ing about hor engagement, He was more than ready to forcgo tho dance with tho chara cteristio comment that if they didn't 70 his white pants would do for an- other day.

This study will add two more

what extent the city government
might be improved by reorganization
or consolidation of existing activities
The conclusions and recommendations
are being reserved for the final volume
One of the volumes submitted yes
terday included a description Of the
establishment and development Of
the free public library system. After
describing its functions in general
the report stated:
THE District has no State uni
versity, consequently the Public Ii
brary is the logical agency to furnish
the means for carrying on adult edu-
cation"
Library Service Cited.
After calling attention to the serv-
Ice the Free Public Library and its
branches render to children. both in
school work and recreational read
ing, the report observes:
Since the Library of Congress has
no department of work with children
the Public Library is called upon to
function as a national library in this
field"
Several weeks ago a volume was
submitted describing all branches Of
the Engineer Department. and yes
terdays report gave similar historical
information on all other municipal
activities. With the history of each
department was given financial
statement showing appropriations and
expenditures for that service from 1920
to 1888.
In the section dealing with penal
institutions, the report disapproved OF
using prisoners as clerks to keep the
card index records of other prisoners
Most penal authorities, the report
stated. agree that it is a poor policy
to have prisoners handle the history
and record Of other prisoners.
