The Librarian fx
Library Loses Valued Friend
I do not recall ever having loaned
him a book, nor that he made more
than half dozen visits to the library
during the thirteen years it has
been in operation, but the library
is richer for having enjoyed his
friendship and, with a host of other
friends, mourns the passing of Mr.
Nick Alston.
To his friendship and his understanding
of our problems we are indebted
for some two hundred fine
volumes that have added greatly to
the usefulness of the library. Those
books, contributed by Col. Charles
H. Clark, East Orange, N. J-, a
scholarly gentleman and friend of
Mr. Alston, came to us from a man
who has never been to Warrenton,
and, who, it is safe to say, wouia
never have heard of our library but
for his association with Mr. Alston.
Knowing the handicaps under
which we labored during the depression
and realizing that we must
have books?more books than our
limited funds could supply?Mr.
Alston presented our needs to Mr.
Clark, a great reader and a wealthy
man. A week later we received a
large box of books sent pre-paid.
There were not half dozen novels in
the lot- Every book had perma- i
nent value.
The library is richer for Mr. Alston's
friendship We have reason
to revere his memory.
Memorial Volumes Received
We are indebted to Mr. and Mrs.
John Burwell for a copy of "Mr.
Currier and Mr. Ives," a sparkling |
commentary on American life and |
manners during the most colorful
period of our history. The book
was written by Russell Crouse- The
illustrations?most of them in color
?are prints made from the original
Currier and Ives collection now
owned by Harry T. Peters. This delightful
book comes to the library
as a t?ibute to the memory of MrN.
F. Alston.
We are indebted to Mr. and Mrs.
Burwell also for a copy of Dale
Carnegie's popular book, "How to
Win Friends and Influence People,"
given in memory of Mr. William
Boyd; and to a "Friend" for two
books designed for the quiet hour,
nThe Gospel of the Hereafter," and
"The Story of St- Paul's Life and,
~ I
Letters," Dy ur. ratter suu omjui.
These "books came to us in memory
of Dr. Joel G. King and Mrs. King.
We have received two other
books for which we are indebted to
Mrs. Bernard Bowling Jr.: "Pole to
Panama," by Major Frank Pease, a
plea for American Imperialism and
a defense for capitalism; and
"Camel Trek," the story of an almost
forgotten Incident in American
history?a camel caravan sent
out across our western desert from
Texas to California in 1857, a gallant
but ill-fated expedition undertaken
by the TT. S- Army,
We appreciate these fine books,
and the cooperation of these friends
who are thus helping us to supply
new and fresh reading matter for
all who care to read.
Trustees to Meet on Tuesday
Evening
We are requested to announce
that the public is invited to attend
the annual meeting of the board of
trustees in session at the library on
Tuesday evening, July 27, at 8
o'clock. At this meeting, the only
public meeting during the year, the
trustees tor the ensuing year will
be elected. Friends of the library
are requested to attend.

Manufacturers recommend that
the commutator be wiped often with '

vaseline periodically. Two or three
times a year a little vaseline should | j

Failure of the horn to operate
may be traced to the following
causes: weah battery, ground or

Today and
Tomorrow
By Frank Parker SteekbrMre

ENGINE . . . today's needs
Any inventive young man who
thinks there are no opportunities
left might look into the problem of
making an engine which will use
less fuel than the ones now in use,
to do the same amount of work.
There is no engine made, steam, gas
or Diesel, which uses even a quarter
of the possible power contained
in the fuel it uses. An engine which
would cut down the fuel load of an 1
airplane by a third, or run an auto- .
mobile twice as far, would make its
inventor one of the world's richest
men.
News comes from England that a
young man has invented a motor
car engine which does not deposit
carbon on cylinder walls or sparkplugs.
A motorcycle ran 75 miles on
- - - rm i.
a gallon with this engine, mat j
young man is on the right track. |
The surest road to success is not j
in discovering something new, but
in finding ways to do old things
cheaper, quicker or better.
* * * *
OIL . . . origin a mystery j
Nobody knows where petroleum
came from in the first place. Scientists
are divided as to whether it
is still being manufactured by Nature,
deep under ground. Some be- j
lieve it comes from animal and veg- :
etable deposits buried countless mil- '
lions of years ago. About the only j
thing that seems certain is that
there is oil to be found almost everywhere
in the world, if one goes
after it hard enough.
Ndt long ago the discovery of oil
in England was announced- How j
much the supply may oe is not
known. It would not be surprising
to hear of oil discoveries at the
North Pole or in equatorial Africa.
Geologists are now convinced that
oil underlies a large part of Florida.
Two or three big oil companies ;
have taken oil leases on millions of j
acres of Florida land, and at least! (
one well is in process of drilling.
With Florida's near neighbors, *
Texas and Louisiana, producing oil, 1
why not Florida? :

WINDMILLS . power producers
The cheapest natural power to :
harness is the wind. The only reason
wind power is not used more is i
that it cannot be relied on to blow 1
steadily in most places. Even Holland,
land of windmills, is replacing
them with Diesel engines where :
continuous pumping operations are
necessary.
Travelling lately along the Atlantic
seaboard, where wind blows
most of the time, I have been
struck by the number of windmills
of a new type. Atop of a light steel
tower is mounted a fan like airplane
propeller, attached to a little
electric generator also at the top
of the tower. When the wind blows
current is generated to light a house
or run farm machinery, and the
unused surplus is stored in batteries
against the day the wind doesn't
blow.
It looks to me like a very economical
way to get power on a small
scale, though not as picturesque as
the huge windmills with their can
vas sails which used to stand on
the headlands of the New England
Coast.
? ?
COSTS sun power
On the face of it, it seems as if
water-power, sun-power and windpower
must be the cheapest ways to
generate power. In the days when
labor was cheap and there were no
taxes to speak of on invested capital,
that was true. Today it generally
is not the case.
The interest and taxes on most
water-power developments, except
a few specially favored by nature,
like Niagara, usually come to more
than the upkeep and operation of

Plenty of Jobs, If You
Look For Them,
Says Writer
WHAT does the future hold for
today's younger generation?
"This", says Dorothy Thompson,
noted journalist in her own right,
and wife of the famous novelist,
Sinclair Lewis, "is the question
which is frequently put to me by
young people."
Miss Thompson who contributes
t'ne^pungent syndicated daily column
"On The Record", and is author
of several books on recent aspects
of Europe and its great leaders, will
discuss the outlook for current
youth when speaking as a guest on
the "Heinz Magazine of the Air"
over Columbia's network, the morning
pf May 10th.
"The other day I was speaking at
Yale University, and a young man
came to interview me for the college
paper", said Miss Thompson "He
was a handsome, well built, athletic
youth, about twenty years old. radiating
health and energy. In the
course of the interview he asked
me, 'Do you think that my generation
has a future? So many people
sav these days that there is nothing |
to look forward to'.
"I replied by asking him a question.
Do you think that the United
States of America has a future?
That - question seemed to surprise
him. He said, 'Why, of course'.
"That is my answer to the younger
generation. If America has a future
you have a future. You cannot exist
without it, but, what is more important,
it cannot exist without you.
By and by, the rest of us will be
dead, and you will be it".
"But will we get jobs?", queried
the youth.
"I don't know", replied Miss
Thompson. "If you want someone
to stick you in an office or in a bank
and guarantee your life to extreme
old age, I should guess not. If it's"
work you want, all you have Xo do
is to go out and open your eyes and
look'at the things that are crying
to be done. It is very hard to starve
to death in this world, if you have
good health, some brains, and if
a coal-fired power plant. Dr. Abbott, j
famous scientist, who heads the '
Smithsonian Institution, has invented
and built an engine which gen- '
crates power from the heat of the
sun. It works?but so far the cost
of building it makes it probably
more expensive to operate than a
steam engine.
We may someday learn how to
put the power of the atom, or the
cosmic rays, to work. But the outlook
for getting power absolutely (
without cost is not very bright, so,
far.

CAMPHOR . . made domestic
Until a few years ago, practically
all of the world's supply of cam- j
phor c?.me irom Japan, me cam- i
phor trees grow on the island of j
Formosa, whose people all work for I
the Japanese government, which
has a monopoly on the camphor in- j
dustry. Efforts to grow camphor;
trees commercially elsewhere have j
not been very successful.
But I saw camphor being mads '
the other day, in a factory in Pensacola,
and the raw material was
old pine stumps! They dig up the
stumps all over the South, haul
them, sometimes, 250 miles, then ,
boil arid distill them and get rosin, j
turpentine, pine oil and other chemicals
out of them?and camphor.

Thompson.
Miss Thompson has made the top
flight as a journalist within the last
ten years and her radio voice and
dynamic personality is known to
millions. She was born in a parsonage
in Lancaster, N. Y., the
daughter of a Methodist minister.
She attended Lewis Institute in
Chicago and was graduated from
Syracuse University in 1914.-', She
started her journalistic career in
Europe as a roving reporter where
she encountered adventure, tragedy
and strife.
Since camphor is an essential ingredient
in the manufacture of celluloid
and other plastics, the value
of the chemical ingenuity which
set American industry free from the
Japanese monopoly is apparent.
Grasses Or Legumes
Make Good Ensilage
With molasses as a preservative,
any green crop that will make hay
can be stored in a silo without any
appreciable loss of feed value. <j
Corn silage contains substance
that act as a preservative, but le- =
gumes and grasses do not have t
enough sugar to ferment properly, 11
said A. C. Kimrey, extension dairy t
specialist at State College.
By adding molasses to legumes |
and grases, the material can be |
kept in good condition, he pointed J
out- t
The crop can be cut at any stage
of maturity and in any kind of
weather, he pointed out. However,
greater feeding value is obtained if
the crop is cut as early in the season
as possible without injuring the
stand. Cereal crops should be cut j
when the grain is in the milk stage. !
Start cutting early in the morn- 1
ing. If the crop is wet with dew or j
rain, so much the better. The crop

If the crop must remain in the
