SYRACUSE LIBRARY NOTES News Notes of Interest Concerning Our Library Especially Writtyi for The Journal The Lonely Playmate Once upon a time, just before dark, when no one was in the. public library a little Brownie slipped in to play with some of his story book friends. But hush! Who in the world are those chil-1 dren talking? Listenl One seems very happy; the other must be very sad. “I’ve had such a wonderful week,” said the Blue Fairy Book, “I’ve been read and enjoyed by the nicest family of boys and girls.” ■ “You are so lucky, replied Black Beauty. “I have been so lonesome.” 1 “Why I thought you never stayed Jiere a moment,” continued the Blue Fairy Book, “the children all love your story.” “Yes, but one day some little folks took me out and got me , all dirty. Just look at these finger prints, and this candy they mashed on me. Oh!!! No one ever takes me home now. My life is ruined, “cause all those sweet mothers say I am so dirty.” “You poor dear! Cheer up—the children are forming a K. B. C. (Keep Books Clean) club and you are going to come out in a , new edition, and then—” “O joy, let’s give, three cheers for the boys and girls who keep books clean.” September Dark The air falls chill; The whippoorwill Pipes lonesomely behind the hill; The dusk grows dense, The silence tense; And, 10, the katydids commence. Through shadowy rifts Os woodland, lifts The low, slow moon, and upward drifts, While left and right The fireflies light Swirls‘ eddying m the skirts of Night. , O Cloudland, gray And level lay Thy mists across the face of Day! At foot’and head, ' Above the dead* 0 Dews*, weep on uncomforted! Books were taken to Africa school the fore part of the week. This will be only station of ser vice aside from the main station this winter. Persons using the rest room should at least be grateful enough for the favor to turn out the lights. We really had our hedge trimmed in the back yard. Have you noticed? o GREAT CROWD GN HAND Regarding the showing of the picture, “The Road to Ruin,” the Warsaw Daily Times says the following: “Patrons of the Strand theatre received a novel treat at the first Showing of the “Road To Ruin.” The crowd was so great it became necessary for many to remain until the second performance to obtain admission. Praise was received from all s des at the end of the first evening’s performance, and the management should be highly commended for bringing this excellent production to their theatre. The “Road To Ruin” besides affording an evening of wholesome entertainment, is a great moral lesson to all. * ’ “The. audience, thinking they had received more than their money’s worth, were agreeably surprised to find that Dr. R. V. Hollis formerly of the Illinois Social Hygiene League and Public Health’ Institute of Chicago, appeared to relate a few of his experiences growing out of personal observation in the world’s largest charity clinic. His talk on the problems and temptations of modern youth was quite frank and to the point. His talk is a ' message worth while.” . "The Road to Ruin” will be shown in Syracuse Thursday and Friday, October 4 and 5. As this photoplay is dedicated to the glorious girlhood of America, matinees for both days for women only have been arranged, which affords them an opportunity to hear a special and more intimate talk by Dr. Hollis.” —__o Boys’ Shoes and Oxfords al

U. bureau of visual instruction, reports that more than 800 schools, farm bureaus, churches clubs and civic groups in Indiana are served annually by Indiana University through its visual library. “Reports from our borrowers indicate that 250,000 different persons,, are reached annually by our bureau.” said Mr. Norman, ‘and that aggregate attendances at all showings exceed 2,500,000.' lhe use of pictures in schools and community work has increased rapidly during recent years. “Book libraries are to be found in every county.

The bank has a capital stock of SIO,OOO. Mrs. D. M. Doran, bookkeeper, was alone in the bank when the robbers entered. Her husband who is the bank cashier, was in conference with six directors in an adjoining room. “We came in to rob the bank, so just keep quit and walk over to the wall.” one of the bandits demanded ealmly as he walked into the place with two companions following him. Mrs. Doran did as she was commanded and walked to the wall, where she was told to hold up her hands. The bandits walked behind the cage and began to take the money that was there. They escaped in an automobile. Although the sher ffs office was immediately notified the bandits were not apprehended. —, o BIRTHDAY SURPRISE Dill Mock, who resides 3 miles northwest of North Webster, was pleasantly surprised Sunday when about 40 friends dropped in on him to remind him of his 56th birthday, and* that they had come to help him celebrate.

CERTIFICATE 6F TITLE LAW i The facilities for coping today i with automobile thieves has brought -forth a statement of praise by the Hoosier State Automobile Association for the* Indiana Certificate of Title Law. The association points out that “ten yars ago there were no records available at all such as have been the means of tracing *k>wn a large number of stolen cars already in the present, exposure of the wide spread crime • ng supposedly headed by Edward Traugott, whose store was partly destroyed by fire and explosion, which caused the burning and death of Harold Libowitz, another prominent mem-1 ber of the ring. “lhe Indiana Certificate of Title Law provides a title for the automobile that carries through with the lifo of the ar, the same as the deed to a piece of real estate. In certain difficult instances, new engine numbers are assigned, known as 10 S numbers and with this new number a title can be granted* In every instance, however a bill of sale or other evidence acceptable to the state from i which the car came, pertaining , to the history of the ownership of the car, has been the basis of issuing an Ind ana SOS title. It is this form of records from which titles are issued that i gives police authorities a chance to trac£ down stolen cars, and in these recent cases of linking the crime ring with the automobile theft. “Ten years ago when our Indiana officials tried to follow any available evidence, it was just a question of time in most cases . until the efforts had to be abandoned as a futile one. No officer at that time could even make an arrest in another county without a warrant from the sheriff of that county. The automobile association at that time was be seeched week in and week out for assistance to recover stolen cars or help finance efforts of officials in some extremely bad case or to provide private detectives in some circumstances that seemed too outrageous to be ignored. Our answer to the problem.” says the association “was to prepare over a period of three years what finally resulted in the Certificate of Title law for Indiana. The form of title as issued in the beginning has been changed and since last Novem- , ber the name and number of the title has been very much more difficult and almost impossible to erase and change. In other words, an attempt to change the name or number is easily discovered on the present form of title in use. “While there may be some instances,” says the association, “of connivance between representatives of the law in Indiana and parties scheming to secure a title under .false conditions, we have yet to find a specific instance of such guilt and fool that the Indiana ’motoring public is to be congratulated upon the success of the title law up to the present time.” 1 o “THE MAGIC GARDEN’ There are no pictures awaited more eagerly by he fan world than those which are made from the books of the late Gene Stratton-Porter. The newest of these to be released by F. B. O. is “The Magic Garden,” which is coming to the Community Theatre Monday and Tuesday, October 1 and 2. This beloved writer concerned herself chiefly with human nature; the hopes, happiness, griefs, and faith of men and women. It is for this reason that her appeal is so universal; she understood the fulness of life, the glory and heartaches that go into the making of every day. In this particular story the attention is centered upon a boy and girl who meet in their childhood in the boy’s magic garden. It is there that the lad plays on his violin for the little girl, and together they pledge their youthful love. With the memory of this, the boy goes abroad for years of study, and his sweetheart mean- ‘ while waits for the glorious day when his genius shall be proclaimed. The struggles, heartaches, beautiful dreams and hopes that befall the lovers dur--1 ing these years forms a theme 1 that is filled with human interest and poignant realism. J. Leo Meeham, Mrs. Porter’s son-in-law is the director as well as the , adaptor, while Charles Kerr } wrote the continuity. o Leave Orders for H. & E. Pure i Cane Sugar at Bachman’s. 100 pound btg.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT Review of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them on * the Surface. The Test Os a Man The place to take the true measure of a man is not the forum or the field, not the market place or the Amen corner, but at his own fireside. There he lays aside his mask and you may judge whether he is imp or annel, king or cur, hero or humbug. I care not what the world says of him, whether it crown him bay, or pelt him with bad eggs; 1 care never a copper what hjs reputation or religion may be; f his babes dread, his homecoming and his better half has to swallow her heart every time she has to ask for a five-dollar bill, he’s a fraud of the first water, even tho he prays night and morn till he’s black in the face, and howls hallelujah till he shakes the eternal hills. But if his children rush to the front gate to greet him, and love’s )wn sunshine illuminates the "ace of his wife when she hears lis footfall, you may take it for granted that he is true gold, for his home’s a heaven and the humbug never gets that near the jreat throne of God. I can forfive much in that fellow mortal who would rather make men swear than women weep; who vould rather call anger to the of a king than fear to the face of a.child. —William Cowper 3rann. Discharged A plumber was recently arrested in Chicago for speeding and brought before the judge. “You are charged by the officer with speeding; what is your defense?” asked the judge. “Your honor,” said the plumber, “I was in a hurry to mend a bursted waterpipe.” ' “Discharged,” said the judge, “You are the only plumber I ever met who was in a hurry.” Some Roads An Englishman who was traveling in the United States was asked how the. highways in the United States compared with those in England, and he replied that there was a contractor by the name of Dixie and another by the name of Lincoln that built excellent highways in the United States; but there was a Frenchman by the name of Detour whose work was terrible. A Nutty One “My cow has run away; did you see' anything of it around the village?” asked the farmer who lived on the edge of town. “No,” grinned the village halfwit, “but why don’t you borrow a locomotive from the railroad; it has a cowcatcher?” It is freely predicted that the time is not far distant when no man will be given a license to drive an automobile unless he is an abstainer from liquor. Why should the weak-minded and color blind be licensed to run engines on the public streets? One reason why American women do not vote is said to be that object to stating their age. They should take a lesson from Germany where women outvote the men by more than 2 millions of ballots. a It often happens that the difference between a successful man and a failure is that the former stands for something while the latter falls for something. The man who looks at everything through money is more than half convinced that the devil is a gentleman. It takes some people a whole lifetime to find out that no dollor is big enough to give an hour’s happiness. The melancholy days of 1 Autumn are upon us.
