OFFICIALS OF CITY GET HEAVY FINES

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., March 25. Four members of the city administration, Edward Holler, superintendent of plumbing; F. B. May, assistant city attorney; Harry S. Montgomery, president of th board of public works, and Henry Raber, building inspector, in spite of their apologies were found guilty of contempt, of court this morning and sentenced to thirty days in jail and fined $100, but the fines and sentences were suspended during good behavior. In addition the court barred Attorney May from further participation in the trial of Mayor Roberts, which was resumed this morning. The lour men were cited on the contempt charge as the result of an alleged raid Saturday afternoon. The alleged purpose of the raid was to get possession of registration books and supplies which were to be used by the state in the trial of Mayor Roberts for alleged election conspiracy. Turtle Soup at the Berghoff, Ft. Wayne Ave. Library Notes "The primary purpose of a free publie library supported by taxation is to give the use of good books and other educational library material to persons who might not otherwise enjoy Buch use, and to afford opportunity for study and research by scholars and students." This is the statement of Joslah H. Benton, the president of the Boston Public Library, in his recently published pamphlet in his recently published pamphlet "The Workings of the Boston Public Library," which is reviewed in the 'Outlook for March 21, 3914. The Outlook In commenting on Mr. Benton's definition says "a generation ago a library was a kind of mausoleum where books in dead languages were stored for scholars and where meagre facilities were extended to t general readers. Mr. Benton's definition of the purposes of a free public library discloses a different ideal and is a good description of the basis on which the public libraries of the country are now working." The Outlook editorial goes on to point out as being somewhat remarkable that the branches of the Boston Public library send out "44,000 books a year, and that the library distributes not only books but photographs and pictures of many kinds, which are of great service in the work of the pcfcools. Those who use the library only to get hooks of fiction, perhaps do not know that while the MorrissonReeves library is small and has no branches yet it issues from i.,000 to 70,000 hooks a year, ami like the library in question, has a collection 'if pictures which are also being widely used, and :t is the hope of the library that these may become increasingly useful. The various Hubs and the public schools hav alreadv made use of its collections on special subjects. Last week the principal '.f .he Whitewater school took three hundred stereoscopic pictures and forty-seven large cards of mounted pictures :!!ustrai ing ,'ife in the various countries of Asia. An art cmb took mounted pictures of the works of I.itian. Tintoretto. Oiorgkme and Veronese, in one month '"14 music rolls were issued. As indicating something of the work of extension of the library service, fuller information will soon he given of the plan by which residents of Wayne township outside of Richmond can enjoy the privileges of the library without the effort of "oming into town.

'he experitnenr proves successful by he cooperation and appreciation of the public' tliis, service v. ili be increased. One of the mosi interesting problems of library management is the reception by the putlie of efforts which are made in ;he hope of bringing "the library ma'ci to persons who might net. othei isr er.icy such use." as Mr. Benton sa; s in the uuctaiion a: the beginning of ihi- column.

It is the reference work of ihe library which after nil is the test of the full use of the library. A careful record kept of t!i" subjects for which bibliographies are prepared tells an accurate story of the intellectual activity of the rnmniiiin!;. On one dav in January the library ;aurnisherj complete information in answer to the following questions: 1. What can you tell me about Mexico and her people of today? 2. What is the Rinderpest? ;;. Who wrote the opera Xadisha? t. What sort of designs should be applied to porcebiin? 5. How many American missions a re t here in .la pa n '.' 6.

"Whether There Should Be n Six Year Presidential Term." or "The Exact Method of Welding Gold by the Aluminothermie Process," all the resources of the library, with careful cataloguing and the most approved methods in reference work are day after day put to their fullest use. COLLEGE BUYS FARM GOSHEN. IND., March L'3. The. trustees of Goshen college, the educational institution of the .Mennouite denomination, maintained here, has purchased the Kensberger farm of sixty acres on the famous Elkhart prairie, east of the college, for $10,500.

Following the example of New York the great cities of Europe are beginning to combine their environing towns and villages under a single municipal head. Thus Greater Berlin has sprung into existence within a short time past, and astonished Europe by showing a census population of 3,417,700 souls, and taking third place among the world's cities. Now Paris, finding herself outranked on the census list by her German rival, is preparing to step up into her proper place among the super-cities by including all her suburbs within her municipal boundaries, which would give her a population of more than 4,150,000. They call M. Delanney, the Prefect of the Seine, who has worked out the details of the scheme, the "Second Haussmann," and the father of the "Grand Paris" soon to be. His plan would, at one stroke, increase the area of the French metropolis from 20,000 acres to 120,000, and instead of including one bend of the crooked river Seine within its boundaries it would include half a dozen. But the thing that interests the foreign observer most in this magnification of Paris, is the magnificent scale on which vast parks, public gardens and breathing places of the people are provided in M. Delanney's pian. All told, he would have nearly as much space laid out in gardens, woods and parks as the entire city of WILL BOWL SERIES Picked Teams From Two Alleys Roll Tonight.

CONDITION OF MAN RELIEVED SERIOUS The condition of Walter Reavell. the colored farmer, residing south of this city, who was shot by his wife two weeks ago, is critical. Today he suffered a he niorrhf;ge of the throat. Dr. Churchill, the attending physician, is of the opinion that the attack mav be fatal. Leavel! and his wife were playing with a revolver and in a scuffle 1he weapon was discharged, the bullet entering l.eavell's throat. He was taken to the Reid Memorial hospital where his injuries were dressed. He had been improving until today when the setback came. SEEKS REDRESS INDIANAPOLIS, March 25.

Paris covers at the present time. His plans also comprise the widening of many streets, the construction of new streets in the older part of the city, and the opening of public gardens in the crowded districts, regardless of any question of the money value of the space. He speaks with horror of the fact that the 239,335 inhabitants of the eleventh orrondissement (ward) of Paris have only a little more than two and a half acres of open ground at their disposal, or about half a square foot for each person! Are there any regions in New York as bad as that? The movement for the unification of suburbs is not confined to the huge capitals, which count their population by millions, tl is seen among smaller cities, and it grows stronger every day. It is as a German statistician, Dr. Schott, points out, a phenomenon characteristic of our time, and it arises from the vast development of industrial enterprises, which spread around every city and create a population not counted in the municipal censuses, but nevertheless forming an essential part part of the life of those cities. The consequence is that the modern city, with its outlying dependencies, assumes not only a spacial magnitude hardly dreamed of in former times, but also a form, or outline, which often becomes grotesque when represented upon a chart.

Ville giographique. Ville politique. Ville economique. Extension des principates agglomerations allemandes. Al these eccentricities of form and growth have arisen from the needs of the industries that have built up the I suburbs. If you will look at the cu- ' rious outline pictures here of the ex traordinary forms assumed by some twenty-five German cities with their suburbs you will perceive what a different thing the city of today is from that of former times. In olden days cities were compact, and rounded in outline, for readier defense against enemies, and for easier communication within their walls. Now they spread into the most astonishing forms. Look at Berlin, for instance, resembling some long-legged animal; or Leopzig, Breslau and Stattin, with their curious projecting arms, like the tentacles of crowling snails. The black centers show the outlines of what Dr. Schott calls the. "geographical city," and the outside lines enclosing the dots show the f'economic city." In the case of Berlin the oval form of the original city before its extension to cover its suburbs is to be seen contracting by its regularity of shape with the bizarre shape of the included suburbs and still more extensive agglomeration constituting 'Economic Berlin." A glance at the chart of Greater Paris, as proposed by M. Delanney, shows that is suburbs have so grouped themselves as to retain the rounded outline of the old city. money and let his private enterprises go to smash. Mrs. Collier, who is a sister of Congressman Ira Copley, of Aurora, 111., is wealthy in her own right. She is now on her way to Illinois to bury her mother, Mrs. Ella M.

"A poseur is very uninteresting, all the time thinking of himself and his charm. But there is no man who is too clever to lose his hand to a woman if she has learned how to play her best card. She must appear indifferent to horn at first, and gradually allow him to arouse her interest. Not that I mean to imply that a man does not care for beauty.

Benefit of Vocational Education

FRANK PARKER STOCK BRIDGE. LCopyright, 1912. by Town Development Company. What are the factories in your town to do for skilled labor, as they growlarger? Ever think of that? You're trying to get new factories all the time. But by and by you'll find your town squarely up against the labor proposition. It's all very well to say that factories bring more people to a town, in the workers they employ. That's true upto a certain limit. Hut there is a limit to the amount of skilled labor available in America, and some day not very far off it's going to be a pretty hard job to get a new industry for a town that hasn't already got a plentiful supply of skilled labor on hand, and more coming along. Which brings us up to another question. What are the boys and girls of your town going to do when they get through school? I don't mean the comparatively few children of the well-to-do, whose parents can afford to send them to college or let them drift from one thing to another, but I'm speaking of the great inas of the school children in your town who have got to quit school when they're fourteen: or may be a year or two after that, and buckle right down to the human job of earning a living for themselves and the dependent ones at home. Nine out of ten of the youngsters in your town's public schools today are destined to find themselves In that fix-.

AVIATOR'S WEDDING NOT TO STOP SUIT

MISS CECILE HARRIS.

Miss Cecile Harris, of Toledo, refused to make any statement concerning the recent marriage of Harry T. Atwood, the famous aviator, to Miss Ruth L. Satterthwaite st Reading, Pa., but her attorneys assert that Miss Harris' suit for $50,000 damages for breach of promise will be prosecued against the aviator with renew vigor. j Miss Harris lives in Toledo with her ! mother. She alleges that Atwood ve hemently proposed marriage to her while they were riding in her automobile in Collingwood avenue, during the third week of last September. She says they were to have been married in November. The wedding date, she declares was indefinitely postponed at the request of Atwood. What is your town doing for them j to make it easier for them to earn a living or possibly to earn a better living than the average man or woman earns? What are your schools doing to fit them for real life? What are your manufacturers and merchants doing to help these young people make more of themselves and their lives? What can you do? Germany has given tis the answer vocational education. A good many American cities are improving on the German idea, and through vocational training in the public schools or continuation schools for those already .it work, or both, finding the answer to both of my main questions as "o 'h future source of skilled labor and a better chance for the boys and girls. I don't mean "manual training" classes which seldom turn out anything but "tinkers" and I don't mean night schools for tired boys and girls who have done a day's work and ought to be in bed or out with the other young folks having a good time. I mean real trades, taught in the public schools under real shop conditions, so that the children can go right to work as soon as they have to leave school. And I mean daytime schools for them after they go to work schools where they learn the things they need to know to make them understand their work and like it and gain promotion and better wages. Cincinnati has schools like this last "continuation schools" where apprentices are sent by their employers

The Changing Ago Girls and boys from 14 to 19 years of age undergo physical changes which tax their strength to the utmost and the strain is always apparent from pale checks, colorless lips, and tired bodies sometimes eruptions of the skin and the utter lack of the ambition and animation witn which their youagsr years were filled. Budding into womanhood sad manhood, with the duties of school or business, demands concentrated nourishment which is readily convertible into red blood corpuscles, energy and strength, and the very best thing for this changing age is the medical nutriment in Scott's Emulsion it possesses the rare blood-making properties of cod liver oil in a predigested form; hypopbosphites for the nervous system, with the healing, soothing qualities of pure glycerine.
