Plea for Branch Libraries
In Line With School Needs
DR.. Bo,cerman Has Data Showing Fire
Proposed Units Would Strengthen
Educational System.

The new building would be erected on
site on Ashby place and Conduit
road. a portion Of the Federal park
planned for this vicinity.
In Congested Area.
The Howard Branch Library, pro-
posed for a site on Fairmont street
between Georgia avenue and Sherman
avenue, Is estimated at $4,000
The need for this branch, DR.
Bowerman explained, is easily shown
because Of the heavily congested area
having population of $4,000 within
mile radius much in need of service
This section includes Miner Teachers
College. Howard University, Garnet
Patterson Junior High School, foul
elementary schools, and the proposed
Banneker Recreation Center Pleasant
Plains Civic Association has petitioneo
for such q branch and a committee
has visited the librarian, urging it.
Southwestern branch would be
built on lots facing Seventh and Il
streets, at q cost of about $4,000.
This branch would serve the whole
population of the southwest, esti-
mated at over $4,000, with a heavy
school population in Is public and
parochial schools.
"A library station at Neighborhood
House, open two hours week, has been
well patrorized for many years." eX-
planned DR.. Bowerman, and demon
strates the use that twill be made of
the branch. This section is cut of from
use of the central library, the nearest
library building. by distance and for
the children by traffic hazards. A
considerable portion of the popula-
ton to be served is underprivileged
with no provision for car fare and
with little apart from the activities
of Neighborhood House to ameliorate
limited and in many cases undesirable
conditions.
THE Southwest Citizens Associa-
ton and the staff of Neighborhood
House have been very urgent for the
establishment of a branch"

ABSENT FROM AINTREE
BY JOHN ]. DAILY.


Byrne, T. D., Lord Mayor of
Dublin, sat in his suite today at
L the Mayflower Hotel and be-
moaned the fact that for the
first time in nine years he was missing
the Irish Sweepstakes-but he picked
the winning horses-1, 2, 3-before
they went to the post.
Unable to be present in Aintree, the
lord mayor visualized the race. called
for pencil and paper before the run
ming and wrote:
Reynoldston, l.
Blue Prince. 2.
Thomond, II, third.
Then the lord mayor sat beside a
radio in his suite and listened while
the horses went to the post
They were of. Uncle Bat took an
early lead and held it to the half
way mark. The lord mayor was not
disturbed. with his pencil in air, and
his dope sheet before him, he cau-
toned, Wait minute" Just at that
time Reynoldstown forged ahead. Blue
Prince, another rank outsider. started
coming into the money. The lord
mayor smiles.
Officiated at Drawing.
As lord mayor of Dublin, his excel
lency officiates each year at the draw
ing Of the tickets-but this year, on
account Of the visit to America, he
had no part in the ceremony. Be-
cause of his official position the lord
mayor never wagers on the race, but
his boon friend, p T. Kelly, the lord
mayors travelling companion, North
of Ireland man, did possess a ticket.
So Mr.. Kelly began pacing the floor.
for his ticket was not on any of the
lord mayors selections-and in lit
tie while it proved that the lord mayor
must have had some information right
straight from the paddock.
Sure" the lord mayor said, ANY
one with half an eye could see that
Raynoldstown would win the race
especially after the first two minutes
of running"
Father Tim MacCarthy, of the
Catholic University, native of Dub
lin, and an old friend of the lord
mayors, came to join the party. He
had no ticket on the sweepstakes, but
a friend in Ireland had sent over a
book of tickets and Father Tim, as
he Is called by his friends. gave the
tickets away. One ticket out of this
book was held by Harry Cunningham,
secretary of the Gridiron Club.
The race over, and the marvellous
activity of the Americans commented
upon-had not the Americans put in
that radio?-the talk turned to the
Ould Sod, the Irish Free State and
the Land of the Free. which has
within its bounds the Maryland Free
State.
Wears Rare Old Charm.
The lord mayor, preparatory to pay
ing visit to his name me-sake-Speaker
Joseph Byrns, of the House of Repre-
sentatives-put on his gold chain, a
remarkable display Of the goldsmith's
art handed down from the first mayor
of Dublin, himself not a lord mayor
but just plain mayor
AS the lord mayor lifted his weight
In gold, to drape the great ornament
around his neck, Kelly. the witty trav-
cling companion, remarked. When
the Speaker of the House sees this
he'll know that Ireland is still on the
gold standard"
With the exception of the Popes of
Rome, the lord mayors of Dublin
constitute the greatest line of sue
cession in the history of the world.
according to Father MacCarthy, and
the golden chain the present lord
mayor wears round his neck, is now
in its 300th year, the first chains hav-
ing been lost, strayed or stolen.

BOAT BUILDERS ARE
 BUSY THIS SEASON

Sandy Woodman and Andy Bernt- sen-Juneaus we'll known boat builders-are enjoying a good busi- ness this season A visit to their busy boatshop off Willoughby Ave nue yesterday convinced an Empire reporter of that.
 In fact, Sandy said that the Shop is experiencing the best re- pair business we've seen in the last three years.n Most of this business comes from fishermen who, because they made somewhat of profit last year, are putting money into much needed repairs.
 The most recent boat to undergo complete overhauling in the San dy and Andy establishment was Cash Coles Jazz, used this winter in the construction of concrete pil- ing for the new Douglas bridge. bridge.

affected ones very young old They hesitate
also to operate on those who exceedingly fat.
principally. of course. because obese persons do
withstand operations very well.
The chief reason for these articles however is to
inform you about the so-caed injection method"
which popular writer is so strongly and enthusi-
aScally supporting. Perhaps will do best to quote
here the statement of leading American surgeon
in one of the systems of medicine and surgery. He
says:
This method is held in disrepute by almost all
surgeons, and for this is seldom mentioned in
textbooks
" ME method is mentioned here not with the idea
Il of recommending its use as a treatment for
hernia but to point out its dangers and disadvan-
ageS The method consists of the injection of some
irritating substance about the neck of the hernia sac
in the hope that adhesons will form and obliterate
the sac.
The disadvantages of the method are that cures
seldom effected. the obvious danger of injuring
some important structure in making the injection,
and the formation of adhesions which greatly COM
plioate any subsequent operation"
NTOW in contrast to this well-reasoned and careful
~ statement. popular writer medical sub
JeCtS sits at his desk and the basis of the claims
made by few doctors scattered throughout the
country tries to urge his readers to submit their rup
lures to injection methods instead of to the kind Of
treatment selected for them by the surgeons who
happen to be Intimately informed concerning the
conditions in their own cases.
The popular adviser unfortunately is not in pos
session OF the records of than few persons who
have had these injections and subsequently devel-
cped inflammations and gangrene from which they
died.

OCCASIONALLY a book of such monumental
" scholarship reaches the desk of the reviewer

IN the space of one lifetime to amaSS the knowledge
that went into it, Such a book is "A History of
Science Technology and Philosophy in the Sixteenth
and Seventeenth Centuries"
Its author is Professor A. Wolf. head of the de-
partment of history and methods of science at the
University of London and editor of the philosophy
and psychology sections of the fourteenth edition Of

sketches.
WTHILE written to meet the needs of the serious
w students of the history of science. Professor

plain to the general reader.

OF sciena usually included in the history of science
but adds several which have been frequently ignored
He devotes considerable amount of space to the
principal branches of technology and in addition
includes fairly complete account of the philosophy
OF the two centuries, thus unifyng and uniting the
whole story.

THE Italian need for expansion is disturbing the
i peace Of Europe In the Far East Japan has
been able to realize similar need for expansion
without thus far involving the world in war. II war
comes however the Far East is the area in which
we most likely to be involved. Hence, 1T Is high
ly desirable that Americans be fully informed on the
merits of the Far Eastern question
Because our interests in the Far East have con-
ficted or seem to have conf1icted with japanese
policy the version of Far Eastern affairs which gets
before American readers is decided anti-JapaneSe.
Without even remotely implying that right is on
Japans side We at least, ought to endeavor TO dis
cover what the japanese have say for themselves.
For this could not discover better volume
than the ingratiating work by the japanese ambas-
sador to the United States Hirosi Saito, "Japans
Policies and Purposes Marshall Jones Co.; $3.50.
The book collection of the ambassadors addresses
and papers. is mild and concliatory and obviously
designed to win American opinion.
MOST timely and important, of course, is what
1F1 the ambassador has to say in defense of Jap
anese intrusion in Manchuria, which he denies TO
be an act of aggressive imperialism
"Japans genuine aim in East Asia is the estab-
lishment of peace and order. We have idea what
ever of aggression or expansion" he says.
In Manchuria," he writes Japan has vital in
terests So long as Manchuria friendly and
spected important treaty rights and interests,
we were quite satisfied. But, as is often the case
with Chinese, that attitude was wrongly taken as
sign of weakness One Of the very common expert
ences of foreigners in China is that, when you give
ricksha- the customary fare he will politely
bow and go. But if out of compassion by mis-
take you give him more than the usual sum- he will
tenaciously insist upon receiving still more.
When the war lord ruling Manchuria arroganty
foiled rights and interests and menaced the
lives and property of the japanese residents, had
to take action. The whole japanese nation knew
that the giving up of right and interests in
Manchuria would spell disaster to our own national
life and they whole heartedly backed the action Of
military in Manchuria That, see it. was
not aggression but self-defense." by Harry Elmer

The Bitter Cup of Triumph

TINE goods at Knox are reported to have lost
i their fine losing spirits of the last four years.
In this crisis an appeal is being addressed to the
goods to make dates with the football heroes OF
the varsity for the night before the game with the
Teachers College and keep them out as late as the
law allows so that they may take the field in con-
dition to put forth their worst efforts.
The campaign to de-emphasize defeat just when
Old Siwash faces the opportunity to establish
record has aroused considerable resentment among
the old grads One New York auInnus claims that
he sent out a freshman last year who would have
been veritable tower of weakness. as the saying
goes, in this years team, but reports that the boy
was ruled out in favor of a big burly farmer
MY man scrawny, hollow-chested near
sighted and delicate" the alumnus complained,
and moreover he didn't like football He would
have accounted for defeat single handed any time
he played but I understand that they have put
him on the scrub and won't let him play against
the Teachers. We need a new coach"
The alumni of Old Siwash have distinguished
themselves in war, the arts and finance and they
are scattered the world They will be watching
the tickers and grabbing the sporting finals with
palsed eagerness on Oct to learn whether Old
Siwash has gone on to set world record or failed
in the final moment.

Preaching Poisonous Doctrines

RI to the closing game of the 1884 season the stu
~ dents and alumni of Old Siwash still hoped for
victory or tie score because they do not wish to
equal Hobarts record. But now, having tied Hobart
there is a strong sentiment among the Knox people
Tor at least one more loss so that dear Old Swash
may forge out in front-or forge out behind if YOU
prefer-and stand alone with list of defeats UNI
matched in the history of the game.
The situation is quite grim because Siwash hired
new coach for this year, Mr. Pete Reynolds, who
once coached at Hobart and who is believed to have
been preaching doctrines about the gores of victory
In fact some of the undergrads in writing to the
old grads for money, report that Mr.. Reynolds has
openly advocated winning the first game of the
season in which Siwash meets Western State Teach
erS College of Macomb, III.
In the days of Ole Skjarsen, Siwash regularly
played Notre Dame, Illinois and A. A. Stages great
University of Chicago teams. In that time Western
State Teachers College was regarded pushover
for Knox, but in recent years Knox has had no
trouble losing regularly to the Teachers. But now
bear stories coming out of Galesburg limiting
that Siwash is threatened with victory which would
mar an historic achievement
