the County Building here next Mon
day night.
The resolution was introduced by
James I. Hambleton Of Somerset and
unanimously adopted after it was ex-
planned that solicitation of donations
from the public had proven entirely
unsatisfactory. Morgan, who had
been asked by library officials to in
vestigate county laws regarding public
libraries, stated his search had dis
closed two acceptable methods OF
raising funds for such institutions.
Outlines Methods.
One way, he said, was to have the
county commissioners declare a coun-
ty-wide tax for the purpose and to
open a central library in Rockville,
with branch libraries in such COM
munities as the commissioners see fit.
The second. he explained, was to
have the voters of an election dis
trict petition the commissioners to
levy a tax in their district for main
tanning an institution of the type.
Judge r. Granville Curry of the
Montgomery County Juvenile Court
declared that the solicitation of do
nations has proven unsatisfactory and
that the plan of circulating the petit
tions should be undertaken imme-
diately.
Mrs. A. B. Foster, librarian, said a
tax of from l to 3 cents on the $l00
assessment should prove sufficient to
raise funds to maintain the library
and to erect the proposed new build
ing.
1t was pointed out by Mrs. Foster
that the library serves more than
5000 people in this area, including
more than l,500 school children.
Rev. J. H. Blakemore, Todd, Nor
gan. Mrs Foster. Judge Curry. Mrs
Frank M Hoadley, Magee and others
declared that the library provides
great cultural and educational in
fiuence in the community and the
community would suffer a great set

necessary to suspend operation
through lack of funds.

and capable military leader neces-
sary in the crisis.
Human slavery gave Lincoln his
opportunity but he, like Washington,
did not bring the issue to a climax.
The Abolitionists, Uncle Toms
Cabin and John Brown did that.
But Lincoln was the able and cour-
ageous leader when the climax came.
These facts do not detract from,
but rather add to, the greatness OF
these national heroes. Leaders al
ways have been common men Of
honesty and character who have
been alert to the needs of the times
and willing to respond.
Washington and Lincoln are our
most brilliant examples of the posi-
bilities Of American life. Neither OF
them was the mythical demigod por-
trayed by the eulogists, who would
have imagined less had they known
more. When we understand that

contempt of District of Co.
lumbia court.
This followed the judges decision
that Mr.. MacCracken had obtained
a writ of habeas corpus by misrep-
resentation.
Mr.. MacCracken, now an attorney
for several air lines, was accused
of permitting removal of records
wanted in the mail contract inquiry.
The senate charged him with con-
tempt last week. Mr.. MacCracken
defied the senate's authority and
warrant was issued for him.
Mr.. MacCracken tried to have
himself arrested while the senate
was in recess over the weekend.
He hoped then to obtain freedom
on the writ of habeas corpus and
thus prevent the senate from get
ting jurisdiction over him.
But Justice ODonoghue held that
the fact he had presented himself
to Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Jur-
ney did not constitute arrest and
that therefore the writ was invalid.
AS soon as the fine for contempt
of court had been paid, the frock-

him to the senate before he could

IAN important lawsuit, regarded

Natalie Botana, director of the
popular afternoon paper, Critica,
will face court to answer a charge
of the public prosecutor, Luis Eliz-

Of the internal situation in Ger
many, endangering cordial relations
existing between Argentina and
Germany.
1t was understood that prosecu-
ton follows representations made to
the foreign Office by the former
German ambassador here.
Romulo Naon, former ambassador
to Washington, said the material
published by Critica was in no way
intended as an offense to Germany,
to the government, or to individuals,
wherefore there was no possibility
Of war or Of diplomatic friction.
To sustain the contrary seems to
me to be absurd" he said.

Dickens Work on Christ
Is Sold for SIS q Word

Charles Dickens, lovable English
author, has been purchased by the
United Features Syndicate of New
York.
Hailed by critics as one of the
greatest masterpieces on the life of
Christ, the manuscript had been in
the possession of his children, yell
lowing with age. Dickens, creator
of such characters as David Copper
field, Oliver Twist, Little Nell and
the hearty Pickwick, wrote this life
of Christ for his children's eyes
alone.
With the death of Sir Henry
Fielding Dickens, last Of the Dickens
children in a traffic accident, just
before the Christmas holidays, the
treasured volume was sold for the
fabulous price Of SIS a word. Edi-
tors and publishers had fought for
the right to buy the manuscript for
years. over transatlantic tele-
phones and cables the furious bid
ding went on until the price of SIS
word took the literary prize.
A story of the authors love of
painstaking sincerity lies behind the
$4,000 written words. Desiring that
his children should see Christ as He
was hallowed in his own mind,
Dickens wrote the manuscript when
his children still were young.
The purchase of the book comes
at a time when a revival in Dick
ems, instituted by leading critics, is
at its peak. These critics believe
that Dickens, more than a skillful
children's author, created character
of depth in a realistic clear style.
Throughout his criticism of the
then existing social order is a gentle
solicitude, unmarried by bitterness.
The story will be invaluable read
ing for literary cOnnOiSSeurS.
