GROUP WILL STUDY
NEEDS OF LIBRARY
Committee to Be Named to Seek
Solution Of Building Prob.
lem in Silver Sprinp


Special Dispatch to The Star
SILVER SPRING, Md, Feb. 10
The necessity for larger quarters for
the Silver Spring Public Library was
discussed again by its board of trustees
at meeting Monday night in Jesup
Blair Community House.
President Howard P. Bailey an
nounced he had received no reply
from the Board Of County Commits
sioners asking for clarification of a
recent statement of F. Barnard Welsh,
counsel to the board. prohibiting the
removal of the library to the County
Building.
Pending reply the trustees asked
Mr.. Bailey to appoint a committee
to work out some solution of the prob
lem. The library association only
two weeks ago approved plans for
remodeling of the County Building
for library purposes and was prepar-
ing to complete negotiations when Mr.
Welsh's opinion halted plans.
At present. it was pointed out, the
library possesses more than 5000
books in excess of capa city. It would
be impossible to add more shelves to
the present building because of lack
OF space. In addition. the building
would be unable to carry the added
burden unless strengthened structur-
ally.
During 1897 the total increase in
circulation over the previous year was
1o.753 books. and sos new cards were
Issued. Nearly 1000 new books were
purchased.
Omcers of the board were reelected
As follows: Howard p Bailey, presi-
dent; Mrs. H. H. Hewlett, vice presi-
dent; Harry 8. Elkins, secretary, and
Victor +. 0rotlisch. treasurer.
Mrs. Louise Ferguson, librarian, an
nounced that l19 new books were
purchased last month The circula-
ton increased 80 per cent last month
over the same period in 1897.

the small town will go many of

"Tnability to compete with the

DR.. sullenger predicted. Trans,

to the outlying population,
The Omaha soeiologist belives
that the small town is losing
ground most rapidly because of
inability to compete socially with
the larger town
The small town just can't
keep pace in furnishing recrea-

Mr.. Miller, for the effective work

assume places of leadership in
education, agriculture and indus
try, and I further Think you are
fortunate to be located in a state
where your white friends are
proud when you merit and assume
places in leadership among your
own peoples
To limit such leadership, in the
opinion of Mr.. Miller will tend to
discourage initiative and ambiti-
GUS effort among Negroes. "More
and more white people, he said,
ARE realizing that the races
must prosper together if our
great Southland is to prosper.
In explaining the provisions OF
the 1888 Agricultural c~onserya-
tion program, Mr.. Miller showed
that the Soil Conservation, Cotton
Price Adjustment and ether pay
ments to the cotton farmer will
bring his income very near to
parity. He also showed how inn
portant are the advantages under
the AAA program to encourage
food and feed production at home
"When you buy eggs, meat, MILL

Sheppard Fau0rs d. C.. as Model
With Elimination of Gambling
Feels Organized Gaming
Tends to Encourage
Crime in General.
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Senator Sheppard, Democrat. Of
Texas, dean of Congress in point OF
service, is concerned, like many other
Senators and Representatives, with
the increase of crime In Washington
and would like to see the Capital a
community which other cities might
take a. q model.
While he has not made q recent
study Of local conditions, he feels
from his general experience, that or
ganized gambling is one Of the worst
influences a community can have,
since 1t is allied with the underworld
and tends to encourage crime in gen.
eral.
Senator Sheppard, who has served
longer In Congress than any other
present member, said tn an interview
today:
II am In sympathy with the move
ment to end organized gambling and
racketeering In the District of Co
mmbia. This Is = universal feeling
in Congress, including both houses
and we will be glad to cooperate with
the good citizenship Of Washington
in opposition to gambling, including
the numbers rackets and all other
forms Of crime"

Of Congress since 1902, when he was
elected to the House to succeed his
father, the late Representative John

ator since 1913,

Sc, who was reported missing last
night, the l0-year-old boy slept sound
ly in friends house.
Alfred. a fourth grade student at

When he didn't come home for dinner,
his family began a frantic search and
finally notified the police.
The youngster strolled in this morn
ing and was amazed to hear that his
mother had spent a sleepless night
waiting for him to come home.
Il was playing with some fellows and
it got late, so I just stayed with them"
he explained as his four brothers gath
cred around to congratulate him on
his safe return.
Also safe at home today was 2-year-
old Michael Ryan, jr., who made the
journey alone from 2l6 Twelfth place
NE. to Casualty Hospital yesterday.
Unable to make hospital authorities
understand that he wanted to see his
brother Charles, 8, who is i'll at the
hospital, he was sent to the ninth pre-
cinct station. A journey to the Chill
dren's Receiving Home followed, where
his father found him.
Although the toddler wept through
his entire adventure, he didn't fare too
badly. He was fed candy at each stop
along the way.
