These things are brought out in the annual report of the Gary library system Issued today. Louis J. Bailey, chief librarian, has been for three months chief of army libraries in southern cantonments. Vw Additions. The. completion of a ne1 branch building In the foreign section of the city will enable us to more effectively meet the need and demand In that locality. Practically every department of the library tells a tale of increasing usefulness and corresponding use. The reference department steadily develops its resources and aims to be the information bureau of the city. The Polk Directory Library was deposited here by the Gary Commercial Club and its consultation Is free to all. Phone queries will receive prompt attention. The work with children has increased so that an additional attendant Is assigned to that room.

In the telephone talk, these characteristics are not brought into play upon the listener's mind. A quiet, pleasant tone over the telephone helps to-bring about mutual understanding and good-will and increases the efficiency of telephone service.

The Hobart library administered by the Gary library has the following mention: Branches: A decided gain is shown, in most of the branches which are as follows: Hobart. Miller, East Gary, Tolleston, Griffith. Koss. Merrillville. Emerson, and Bailey. The library at Hobart has had a very successful year, becoming in a real sense a center of community interest. The circulation was 2S.6S2. and 2.905 persons attended 147 meetings In the social rooms. The library in the Emerson school sustained n loss of space but made an increase in the amount of service rendered. The branch In the Froebel school, henceforth the Bailey branch, was greatly handicapped on removal to smaller quarters during the construction of tho new building. The new building will prove a great stimulus to wider use. and larger and more accessible collection of foreign books should Increase their use. This new structure should also become a reinforcement toward better American citizenship. The libraries at Miller and East Gary were placed In new and better quarters In 1917, and the Increased use shows appreciation. Stations! There are ten deposit stations and seveteen circulating stations. Through these 31.2S6 books were loaned. Books are also sent to 203 class rooms. The total circulation from branches and. stations was 136.39?, the. number o card-holders, 3,075. Gary South Side Library. The building statement of the new Louis J.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. April 20. Governor Goodrich Is still considerlns tho question of whether there should be a ppeclal session of the legislature, and there are some who believe that a way will yet be found to avaid the call. Just how It Is to be done no one has yet fiRured out. but the belief has taken a deep root that a way will be found. Judging from all that has teen heard on the subject lately, there is a widespread hope that no sperle.1 session will be found necessary. This hope Is based on several reasons. One is that !t would be an expense to the etate. Another Is that it would bring in a number of farmer members at a time when they should remain on their farm to produce food. Another Is that a special session should be avoided at any time and especially at a time when the country Is in war and when a political campaign Is just Ktarting- in the state. Three of the propositions that have been advanced to show the necessity for a special session have practically been disposed of. according to som RHEUMATIC PAINS Quickly Eased By Penetrating Hamlin's Wizard Oil A safe and harmless preparation to relieve the pains of Rheumatism, Sciatica.

People afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards Olive Tableti - The pleasant, sugsrcoated tablets are taken for bad breath ty all who know them. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act gsntly but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel docs without any of the bad after effects. All the benefits of nasty, sickening, griping cathartics are derived from Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets without griping, pain or any disagreeable effects. Dr. F. ML Edwards discovered the formula after seventeen yeara cf practice among patients afQict-Ki with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath.

All druggists. who havo been watchlngr the course of events. AVh;ther any of the others lean be so handled, however, ia a queslion. I For instance. !t has been the Idea that the. legislature must make appropriations to meet the greatly increased co.t of maintenance of the various f-tatn institutions that either are out of money or are Jn danger of running out. Just how much these additional appropriations will amount to has not yet bern ascertained definitely. It i said, but the understanding: is that the total will not be so large but what it might be met by the Governor out of his emergency contingent fund. The legislature would be called on at the special session to provide for the reconstruction of the reformatory building that were destroyed by fire at Jeff erson ville. It has been said that the present remaining plant at the reformatory Is not adequate proprely to take care of the more than 1200 Inmates of that Institution. Hut it Is said that plans are under construction for the transfer of something like 300 of these reformatory Inmates to the state prison at Michigan City where they will work in the manufacture of binder twine. If this plan Is carried out It will relieve the strain at the reformatory to that extent and some are of the opinion that it might enabla the reformatory to get along until after the next regular session of the legislature. If this should turn out to be true It would ease up the demand for a special session, as far as that point is concerned. That there will be no need of legislation at a special session to take care of the county council of defense situation also is evident from the opinion given a few days ago by Attorney-Gen eral Ftansbury to Gilbert II. Hendren. chief of the state biard of accounts, in which the attorney general held that while there is no law authorizing directly the expenditure of money by counties to maintain the county coun cil of defense, yet there Is ample authority In the fact that the congress created the Council of National Defense and that the county council of defense of the various counties have the right to make appropriations to meet the expenses of thir county councils of defense. Acting on this opinion, Hendren has prepared a schedule showing the amount of appropriations which he regards as being fair and Just in each county and the amount that he. as state accountant, would be willing to approve, in passing on the legality of the actions of the various county councils. This plan will. now be in effect, unless the courts decide otherwise, and it may be that the eountjr council of defense question Is out of the way. Possibly those who are at work on the matter may yet be as successful in eliminating the nther important problems that confront the state. Sinking hospital nhlps Is n pnstlme with the Hunn.
