It is this class of business men that must depend upon the public library for their facts, and righjt here is the place for the Pub lic Libraries’ business branches. “It is essential that all red tape be cut and that all of the laest mat ter be on hand. ‘First with he La est’ should be the slogan of every library, and new material ‘news’ should be made immediately access ible to the public.” -O GERMANY IMPORTS WILD ANIMALS (By Associated Press) Hamburg, April, 23.—One of the heaviest shiploads of wild animals ever to pass through the Suez canal arrived here recently from India.

There being no limit to de-; bate in the senate, and the rules of the house being elastic, men talk in cessantly, knowink they will not be. called to order for their remarks not being germane to the matter un der discussion. : ' “A few days ago the agricultural appropriation bill being before the House of Representatives,” this cor- j respondent continues, “ Mr. Hawes of Missouri spoke for half an hour or so on the dog. Mr. Hawes breeds dogs and loves them, and this was an opportunity no member of con gress could neglect. 9is speech was recorded* verbatim In the official “Congressional Record” copies of which are furnished the member free of charge and may be sent through the mails to his constituents free of postage. “It he wants to give his speech wider circulation he can have it printed in pamphlet form at the gov ernment printing office at the ac tual cost of the printing and paperr end this pamphlet also the govern ment will obligingly circulate thru /he mails without the payment of portage. The member’s constituents eceive these speeches and are du’y •□pressed. They are proof that their epresentative is an Important man >.nd is not idle. The avoragi com tituent is an ingenious person. He islieve- that speeches pass bins.” PROVES AGE°BY WEATHER Washington^ April, 23.—Prove A.ur birth by the United States Weather Bureau; it can and ha* '-een done. ~ Recently, they say, a man was ailed upon to prove the date of his 'nrth.
