LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Within short time it is likely that the Library OF
Congress in Washington will become the greatest in the
world In the number of printed books it surpassed by
the public library in Lenngrad Russia, but it has many
more treasures in the way of maps, Charts music and
pictures of every description.
The Library of Congress established IN l8OO put
was destroyed when the British burned the capitol in
1914 1t stated again by the purchase by Congress
exPresdent Thomas Jefersons private library OF $3.50
volumes for $2395O
Additions were made from time to time, but another
e IN 1851 destroyed about $4,000 volumes This loss was
partly repenshed through purchase and donations until
the library has than 4,4770OO Volumes more
nan million MAPS charts and views, more than mil
non pieces of music and half million photographs prints,
engravlngs and Autographs.
The growth of the library has been greatly fastened

0pyghted books and other material to be deposited there

Everyone who drives after dark
experiences a sense of relief when
he comes from a poorly lighted high
way on to a boulevard well pro-
vided with modern electric lights. We
look for the time when highway
illumination will become so general
that powerful headlights will be I'M
necessary. The first step in this
direction should be the floodlighting
of all busy intersections, particularly
the intersections of highways with
electric and steam railroads.
Glare from headlights is knotty
problem. For the present it will be
reduced to a minimum when we
each of us, see to it that our own
headlights are properly adjusted
Every well disposed person, and that
means almost all of us, is anxious
to avoid accidents and is interested
in their reduction.
There is still work to do in educat-
ing motorists to the possibilities of
reducing the accident hazard by
scientific eye care and the intelligent
use of artificial illumination. A very
large percentage of people suffer
some visual impairment. It has been
proved that lowered illumination in
creases the disability such defects
entail; therefore, it follows, as a
matter of cold logic, that defective
vision is more to be feared for night
driving than during the daylight
hours.
May we repeat what we said in our
introduction "Slow reaction time" is
doubtless major factor in the caus-
alton of accidents. Visual defects
reduce the "speed of vision. Most
visual defects can be corrected and
therefore should be corrected.
An interesting test which may have
a bearing upon this point, recently
came to our attention. It concerns
four men, but it may have in it pos
sibilities of very wide application.
OF the four men, two had record
of several accidents and two had a
clean record in this particular. The
examiners were unaware of the rec
ords of the men, so were uninflu-
enced, in their tests.
One of the men had decided i'm
balance of the ocular muscles; the
other three had no imbalance. The
one with the ambulance was one of
those with bad accident record.
One of the men had a restricted
visual field; the others had normal
fields. The one with the restricted
field with the other man with an
accident record. This may have been
merely coincidence, but we think not.
We are under no illusions regard
ing the attitude of a lot of very
good people regarding any sugges-
lions that some of the tests men,
toned be made compulsory.
Americans do not take kindly to
compulsion, but they are quick 10 re-
spond to a suggestion, if they can
be shown that it has merit. We
would, therefore, suggest that those
interested in safety sponsor move
ment to induce people voluntarily to-
ascertain the facts regarding their
own visual status and to govern
themselves accordingly.
Secondly, we would suggest that
all persons involved in accidents Of
any magnitude be compelled 10

have received. had it not been foI
the public spirit, industry and kind
ly heart of Tom McHugh.
He has taken great interest in
having the tax payers of this county
relieved of the taxes incident to the
construction and maintenance OF
roads on the county system. This
has called for many long, hard trips
to Columbus and the expenditure OF
no small sum of his personal funds
with the result that now 54 miles
Of county roads have been trans
ferred to the state system thereby
putting upon the state and not Nor
gan county, the entire expense Of
the up-keep of these roads. Public
srvants should be judged largely by
their willingness to work and serve
In both Mr.. McHugh has measured
up to the highest standard Most
County Commissioners have manag.
ed to devote more time to their pfi-
Vate affairs than to the public busi
ness
For the first time in the history
of this county, one commissioner has
given his whole time. because he
saw the various intricate and diff
cult tasks to be performed and has
honestly and conscientiously striver
to accomplish the most with least
expense.
Party lines, color, nor creed have
swayed or influenced his actions, nor
has the river or any other geograph-
icaI line hampered or interfered
with him in his public service. Lo-
cation of a candidate is not import
ant but the location Of heart and
brain and conscience IN a candidate
is Of the utmost Importance. Public
service unselfishly rendered deserves
its reward-the bestoWal on the
part of" the public of its approval.
The experience gained from the var
lous and vexing problems of the past
four years will be sorely needed
during the next four years in the
County Commissioners Office.
Tom McHugh has a right to eX-
pect approval. Voters. His life and
services are as an open book, not a
blemish on either, of dishonesty or
political chicanery. He has done
we'll. Let's continue him on the job. |

CHILDREN OF HOLLYWOOD ARE REALLY HAPPY, DECLARES
This Extra Has
En- GUESSING

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 21.-ArouSed
at what appear to be the psychic
powers Of a motion picture extra,
two Hollywood directors will super
wise this week a camera test Of
what their eyes see but their minds
cannot understand.
The extra is Albert Pitella, a
Mexican working in the new Carole
Lombard picture, Swing High,
Swing Low"
The directors are Cecil B. de
Mile and Mitchell Leisen.
For several days, Pitella has been
amazing studio attaches by his
ability to make wrist watches, pen
cils and various OBJECTS stand on
end and dance while he holds his
hands over them and sings.
He has repeated the demonstra.
ton many times and none of his
watchers has been able to detect
a trick. If a hand is thrust be,
tween Pitella and his subject, the
subject will fall, but this is eX'
planned as an interruption of a
psychic current or whatever causes
the phenomena.
If the thing is a gag, Hollywood
will still be amused, but it wants
to know for sure. Directors De

era to arrive at the truth.

Kay Francis, just chosen by
the Fashion Academy as the best
dressed woman in America" be-
lieves that it demands Of its de-
votees an endless attention to the
small details of grooming.
The actress, who is the first
motion picture beauty to win the
coveted award, elaborated on her
theory today.
There is nothing like a run
down shoe to ruin the effect of a
woman's appearance" she de-
clared. Finger nail polish that is
beginning to peel will do the same
thing. So will a dusty hat brim
or a stocking with crooked seam.
Hats are particularly impor-
tant. Last years tailored suit, if
it was worth buying in the first
place, is just as good this year.
but last years hat is bound to be
out. My advice to woman seek
ing smartneSs is to pay as much
as she can afford for her hats"
The actress said she was sur.
prised but naturally pleased at the
academy'S decision.
Last year, the award was given
to Mrs. Harrison Williams, eastern
society beauty.
