PUBLIC LIBRARY NEEDS STRESSED Dr. Bowerman Urges' Addi- tion of $100,000 or More to . Maintenance Fund. After showing how Washington has lagged behind many American cities in development of its library system, Dr. George I". Bowerman, llbrarian of the Free Public Library, recommend- ed an increase of more than $100,000 in the next appropriation for this purpose, at a conference with the Cltizens' Advisory Councilat the main library building yesterday afternoon. Dr. Bowerman also outlined to the council a five-year program of ex- pansion designed to carry library fa- cilities into many sections of the city by the erection of several more branch buildings and the opening of branch offices in a score of public school buildings. Advocates Modifications of Law. Dr. Bowerman also suggested a number of modifications that should be made in the basic law creating the Public Library system, including defi- nite authority for the establishment of new branches and authority to rent quarters in nelghborhoods where school houses are not available. In connection with the need for a larger allotment for binding, Dr. Bowerman said there are 5.000 good books in the basement of the main library that cannot be circulated be- cause they need binding. The last appropriation for main- tenance of the library service was $235,300. Dr. Bowerman told the council the next budget should carry $343.870. This figure is subject to modification when certain salary ad- justisents are made. This increase would provide for an urgently needed increase in personnel, for the estab- lishment of seven branches in school buildings, for keeping the library when it is now neces- v to due to limitation of funds and for making badly needed Tepairs to building and equipment. Five-Year Development Plan. Here is a brief outline of Dr. Bowerman's proposed five-year pro- gram of library development: For the -Additional personnel, main library and two older branche: catch up with unmet n 1g large increase in book-buying Additional per- sonnel at Mount Pleasant branch, to open children’s department. Re- placements of wornout equipment and repairs to buildings (no new equipment in years). Seven branches in public school staff and mal For year for new branches books, Northeast branch. Seven public schools, Wwith aff and maintenance. -1928—Building of Northeast branch ($100,000), books, staff and maintenanc: For 1929-1930—Site for a George- town branch. Seven branches in pub- lic schools, with books, staff and main- tenance. For 1930-1931—Erection of George- town branch (375,000), books, staff and maintenance. Purchase of site for a Connecticut avenue branch, probably near Bureau of Standara: Carnegie Aid Not Assured. This program is based on the as- sumption that the Carnegie Corpora- tion will continue to supply the money for the erection of branch library * buildings, but Dr. Bowerman told the council this outside aid is by no means certain. If further gifts are not made by the Carnegie Corporation, the necessary funds for branch libraries shouid be sought from Con- gress, just as school building funds are obtained, Dr. Bowerman declared. Tn order to show the council the in- adequacy of present appropriations for libraries in Washington, Dr. Bowerman said that while the Amer- ican Library Association has fixed $1 as a fair per capita_expenditure for library development, Washington this year will spend only 46 cents per Capita on its public library system e then gave the following table to show hor ry allotment would Iy in carrying out the 1r program, as follows: or $0.496 per 830, or $0.71 per . ‘or $0.82 per . $0.85 per capita; per capita, and £1.05 per capita. 540,860, 1939, 31, $58 Citations From Other Cities. In connection with these per capita figures, Dr. Bowerman gave quota- tions from other cities to show how much more liberal some municipali- ties have been in providing for their public libraries. Engineer Commissioner Bell, attended the conference, ed Dr. Bowerman to tell the council how much consideration should be given to the existence of the Library of Congress in estimating the library needs of the city. The Library of Congress, Dr. Bowerman said, is a great institution of reference for stu- dents and provides a special service for members of Congress, but does not enter into the picture of Wash ington’s local library needs any more than the library of a great university would enter Info the needs of the city in which it is located Urges Branch Librari In emphasizing the need for more branch buildings and for branch rooms in public schools, Dr. Bowerman sald the library system doe: not serve nearly as large population as it borhoods had br “Washington,” who £ more neigh- Bowerman con- tinued, © cultivated pop- ulation, with an appetite for reading that should be more adequately pro- vided for.” The librarian said the proposed northeast branch probably would be tocated in the vicinity of Eleventh street and Maryland _avenue, the Georgetown branch on Wisconsin ave- nue and the Connecticut avenue branch in the vicinity of the Bureau of Standards Jesse C. Suter, chairman of the council, sald vesterday he was not sure how many more conferences would be necessary before the council sets itself to the task of making recommendations to the Commission- ers to the amount of money that should be sought in the new budget. RAIL BOARD RAPPED. Trainmen’s Heads Call Arbitrators for U. S. “Lame Ducks.” CLEVELAND, May 30 (®)—W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, and L. E. Shep- pard, president of the Order of Rail- road Conductors, explained in ad- dresses before the Exchange Club yes- terday why the brotherhoods would rather deal directly with the rail- roads than with the railroad labor board. “The United States Labor Board, as I view it, is composed of a number of lame ducks, there for political pur- poses principally,” Mr. Lee sald. Mr. Sheppard said that “we don't want any lawyers or college profes- sors trying to deal with a raflway proposition only men in the business understand.” —_— The birth rate in Japan is higher than in any other country im which vital statisties are kept. proportion of the | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO Mystery of Energy Partially. Solved; Physicists May Reach: Greatest Goal Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. R. A. Millikan, and Associ- ate May Expose Secret of Stars Shining Billions of Miles From Ear:h. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, Calif., May 30.— Probing the infinitesimal interior of an atom in Pasadena may solve the secrets of huge stars shining billions i of miles away, Dr. Robert A. Millikan, Nobel prize winner and internationally known physicist, told an audlence here last night. With the aid of a discovery made in electronic research some 10 years ago, Dr. Millikan explained, he and an sociate, 1. S. Bowen, have been able to predict within the last year pre- cisely the type of light waves which would be emitted by atoms which had been stripped of their whole outer group of so-called valence electrons. “We have then found experimental- Iy." he added, “In special sources of light set up in the Norman bridge laboratory in Pasadena, precisely all these types of radlations, hundreds in number. “By finding whether these radia- tions exist in the light that comes to us from the stars we now can gain new information about conditions ex- isting in these stars and compare them with conditions existing in our ar- tificlal courses.” We can tell with cer- tainty, for example, whether the atoms which give rise to a certain type of radiation (that is, a glven set of spec- tral lines have had one or two or three or four or five or six or seven of thelr outer electrons stripped off from them- by extreme temperature conditfons.” All of these laboratory researches into the mysterious birth of light rays from atoms, Dr. Milllkan went on to say, strike at the very heart of what is perhaps the most fundamental prob- lem of the physical world, namely, the nature of radlation itselfrand how it is that energy can beé projected through space from an atom in the sun to another atom in our earth. Dame Washington in Her Best Dress With Blooms as Seasonal Trimming “Flower City”’ Has 7,500 Plants and 500 Beds in Parks and Is Setting a Beauty Example That Is Being Copied Everywhere. Dame Washington is putting on her Summer raiment for the envious ad- miration of the rest of the world, and among the trimming are some 7,500 plants {n more than 500 beds in about 400 parks and reservations. Washington—the “Flower City”—is setting an example in this regard that is being copled all over the country. Lieut. Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, En- gineer officer who is in charge of the greenhouses that keep the Executive Mansion supplied, and who, with ex- pert skill, makes the grounds of the White House artistically beautiful at all seasons, now has a large force of gardeners planting flower beds in the parks. This job will be completed about June 10. Many Plants Grown. Throughout the long Winter months the following plants have been grown by the thousands in what are known as “the President’s greenhouses,” lo- cated south of Washington Monu- ment and just west of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing: Irisene, co- leus, ageretum, begonias, pennisetum, cannas, euonymus, petunias, sibthor- pla, alternanethera, vincas, salvia, acalypha, nastertium and mesembry- anthemun. In Montrose Park, in the heart of historic Georgetown, Col. Sherrill is making a speclalty of roses; in Thomas Circle it is petunias, and, again, in the fashionable Dupont Circle it is roses. In fact, wherever roses will thrive well they are being planted as a permanent feature. As rapidly as possible rose bushes by the hundreds and thousands will be massed in all parts of the city. Beautification of the new Meridian Hill Park is being started, and next COAST GUARD SHOTS HALT HARVARD MEN Patrol Mistakes Two College Coaching Launches for Rum Runners. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, May 30.—While vigilant liquor-hunting coast guards endeavored to halt with rifle fire yesterday two Harvard coaching launches contain- ing six men, the six calmly proceeded on their cruise toward New London, Conn., where the Harvard varsity crew will race Yale on June 19. Not until a bullet splashed dangerously near one of the launches did they come to a halt. The captain of the smalll gray patrol boat that crept out of the mist and drew alongside the Harvard men, sald they had no idea the shots were intended for them. The shooting occurred off Nantasket at daybreak. The launches, the Pep and Patricia, left Cambridge Thurs. day for the Harvard Red Top training quarters. When rifles began to crack in the distance they paid no attention to them believing they were directed at some rum runner in the vicinity. But when a bullet splashed near the bow of the Pep, the Harvard men decided to stop. The coast guard patrol had blown a siren warning them, but the Har- vard men sald the noise of their motors had drown it out. Both launches flew the American flag and the flag of the Harvard Boat Club. The commander of the Government boat apologized and the launches pro- ceeded. Harvard Athletic Association off- cials said here, it is realized that the coast guard was only trying to do its duty, and “regrettable” as it was, no protest would be made to Government authorities. KNIGHT COTTON FIRM RECEIVER IS CHOSEN | Move Declared Preliminary to Re- organization of Company Op- erated by Bondholders. By the Associated Prese. PROVIDENCE, R. 1., May 30.—G. Edward Buxton, treasurer of B. B. and R. Knight, Inc., cotton manufac- turers, was appointed temporary re- ceiver of the concern and his bond fixed at $50,000 in a Superior Court decree entered yesterday. The move was declared to be 2 preliminary to reorganization for the eventual salva. tion of the property, which has been operated by a bondholders’ committee since November, 1924. The same man- agement will continue operation. George W. Treat, chairman of the bondholders’ committee, issued a state- ment saying that “since November 1, 1924, the present management in the Providence office of B. B. and R. Knight, Inc., has effected many economies, purchased cotton at prices below present replacement and sold in advance the product of the mills, in consequence of which in the last five months the company has made some profit in excess of manufacturing cost.” R e o RO 112 Quenches Fire With Buttermilk.

Design beds, such as attracted much attention last year on the Washing- ton Monument grounds, will be set out {n several locations. Just now there is a particularly beautiful display of iris and peonles along the water side of the drive for about 2 miles in East Potomac Park. The rose garden in Potomac Park, between the Highway and the Rail- road bridges, is now at its best. Sev- eral new varieties are being planted— the Loyal Legion and Crusader, both red, and the Butterfly, which is a pink varfety. In all some 3,500 rose bushes are being set out this Spring. The past season was very hard on the rose garden, and about 2,000 bushes had to be replaced. Maryland Avenue Colorful. Maryland avenue northeast, which is a popular approach to the Capitol for tourists, is a section especially well worth seeing just at present. For about a mile, down the center of the street, a variety of roses in luxuriant bloom delight the eyes of the mo- torists. This has won much favorable commendation for the work that Col. Sherrill is carrying out in beautifica- tion of the National Capital. This parkway section has been especially studied so that the garden growth would mot interfere with a clear view for motorists. Throughout the entire District special care {s taken not to have high shrubbery where it will ob- struct a view and thus cause traffic trouble. Citizens’ assoclations in all sections are commending the work that Col. Sherrill is doing in begutifying the parks with flower bed: VANDERBILT IS .IRATE | OVER POLICE SEARCH Will Warn Tourists of Meridian, Miss., for His Treatment as Rum Suspect. By the Associated Press. VICKSBURG, Miss., May 30.—Cor. nelius Vanderbilt, member of the famous family of New York million aires, whose baggage was searched after ho was halted by officers in Me- ridian, Miss., yesterday, suspected of being a “rum runner,” will warn tour- ists “what to expect at Meridian through the medium of the American Automoblle Association,” a statement credited to him and made public here today says.

WOUNDED SAFE CRACKER ADMITS $10,000 THEFT Izart in Division of Loot, Yegg- man Confesses to Store Robbery to New York Police. By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, May 30.—Verification from Minneapolis and the possession of $5,000 in currency finally convinced the police last night that William Huptala, 17, was telling the truth lwhen he confessed he was a safe cracker and was wanted for stealing $10,000 from a Minneapolis depart- ment store 10 days ngo, Huptala walked inte the Cumber- land Street Hospital with a gunshot wound on the finger. While he was being treated hospital attaches called the police, to whom Huptala told his story. Later word from Minneapolis con- firmed his story of the department store robbery and Huptala wis ar rested as a fugitive from justice. He said he and his partner had cracked 30 safes In the Middle West and had stolen about $25,000. He said his ‘wound resulted from a fight with his confederate over a division of the loot.

CIVILIAN SOLDIERS MUST STAY MONTH Army to Discourage De- partures From. Camps Be- fore Regular Time. * All Army corps commanders have been instructed by the War Depart- ment to make every effort to keep at a minimum the number of candidates at Civillan Training camps relieved from duty before the termination of the camps. To that end, all prospec- tive candidates must be informed that enrollment for a camp means enroll- ment for the full 30 days. As separa- tions are bound to occur, however, the privilege of withholding return trans- portation will be based by the corps commanders on the facts in each case. In general, it is stated, the Govern- ment {s not obliged to furnish return transportation when the separation is for the convenience of the candidate, “no matter what the cause.” It is admitted, however, that in cases clear- 1y beyond the candldate’s control, such as sickness or death in the family, it would be advisable to furnish trans- portation, Relieved of Obligation. Summarizing the instructions, War Department circular says: ‘Separations for the candlidate’s con- venience, including attendance at 8cuo0ol, business reasons, candidate's or parents’ request based on insufficient reasons and similar causes, clearly vlice no obligation on the Government, and in such cases the policy will be to withhold return transportation unless the camp commander decides that the candidate enrolled for the camp under a misunderstanding as to its duration. On the other hand, any separation for the convenience of the Government, no matter what the cause, clearly en titles the candidate to return transpor- tation, and it will be furnished in such cases. When practicable, a ticket, and, if necessary, prepared food will be furnished a candidate separated for the convenience of the Government. Similarly, a candidate separated for good and sufficient reasons will re- celve the same consideration as re- gards return transportation that at- taches to those who satisfactorily com- plete the full 30 days.” LUTHER LEAGUE MEETING.

Golden text: And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signs that followed.—Mark xv1.20. Memorial day recalls' our indebted- ness to the Nation's heroes. It helps us realize that under God we owe our position, peace, power and prosperity to their self-denial, sacrifice and serv- ice. The development of our country in commerce and culture is greatest in periods of peace. History proves that expansion in trade and education are greatest when people are free from the disturbances of war. It was so in the apostolic age. Luke's descrip- tion of the Palestine Church following the end of persecution tells of singu- lar spiritual prosperity. The church had rest from war. Thanks to the work of the persecutors, Christian con- gregations were found in every prov- ince; in Galilee and in Samaria, as well as in Judea. The resumption of the frequent assemblies of the dis- ciples for prayer and worship, which the persecution had made for a time perilous, resulted in their spiritual development. Their daily life re- vealed a consistent character. They “walked in the fear of the Lord” and grew. Peace permitted the development of the church. The constancy of the Christians under persecution, together with their reverent and righteous lives in the days of quietness, attract- ed the attention of their neighbors to the new faith. The great enlargement was due then, as now, to the work of the Holy Spirit, who encouraged them to preach Christ. The Paraclete did His predicted work of convicting the world of sin and regenerating the souls of men through the preaching of the gospel. The aggressive, con- verting and conquering power of the Word enabled the church through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to grow during the period of peace. During the perfod of danger the Apostles remained in the very center of the persecution. With the coming of peace and freedom from the pres- sure of the persecution, they visited the newly established interests. This gave them an opportunity to become personally acquainted with the condi tions and needs of the varlous congre- gations. It enabled them to advise, en- courage and Inspire the brethren. The enlarged ministry was marked by “greater work” ~tha the Apostles had been promised. Iividently they had not been given this power earlier because they had not commenced earller to carry out Christ's command to preach everywhere. Our lesson records two stupendous miracles \Which prove that the gospel did not forfeit any of its power in going abroad. Miracles of Comfort. Luke, the physician, introduces these two miracles of comfort to show how Peter came to have a broader view of Christianity. The great simi. larity between these miracles and those of Christ indicates that He was continuing to do “the greater works' after His resurrection just as He did during the days of His public minis- try. Our Lotd was “moved with com- passion” as He mingled with men be- cause “He loved us so.” When Peter, who had occupied the leading place in Jerusalem, turned to visit the disciples scattered throughout Palestine in all probability he visited the central high- lands, or even Samaria and Galilee, before he reached the two places men: tioned in today's study. Although Lydda is only 13 miles from the capi- tal on the direct road to Cassarea, it was not the first place the apostle visited in his tour of inspection and supervision, for we are told that he arrived there while he was passing through among all the saints. Peter was attracted by the condi- tion of a confirmed paralytic, who had been confined to his bed for eight years. Looking upon the apparently hopeless man, Peter tried to arouse a spirit of trust In Aeneas, that the Lord Jesus could heal him. The com- mand that he “rise and make his bed” was based upon the method of the Master and contained the evidence of expectancy of a cure. Christian love saw an opportunity of aiding the poor sufferer, so that he could help advance the kingdom of God. It was not Peter but the Christ who healed Aeneas. He is still healing many today through the skill of the physicians and sur- geons, as well as {n answer to the prayers of faithful men and women. He uses the triumphs of modern sur- gerysand medicine to restore people who have fallen under the influence of Satan, the prince of the power of the alr. A great revival swept over the Sharon plain =o that all turned to the Lord. The news spread to the near- by seaport of Joppa, with the result that Peter was summoned thither to meet the emergency caused by the death of Dorcas.

It was a strange providence that permitted her to be called hence, when she was S0 greatly needed. Peter was im- pressed by the testimony of the widows. He _followed the same methods tha! Jesus had used in re- storing the daughter of Jairus. Be- fore trying to raise her from the dead Peter knelt and prayed. When sure that it was the Lord's will, he sum- moned her to rise. The one who leans upon the Lord and trusts Him is able to ‘do what appears to be impossible. Source of Power. When Peter presented the restored friend to the assembled multitude he pointed them to the Lord as the One, who had raised Dorcas from the dead. He permitted her to remain with the church “a little longer in the flesh.” By so doing He placed His seal upon the charitable works within the church. While raising Dorcas is a splendid demonstration of divine power, it shows us that our Lord ap- preciates the deeds of love performed in His name and for His glory. A great revival broke out in Joppa, 8o that Peter tarried there many days dwelling with a humble workingman. Many who in former years have questioned the miracles of divine heal- ing are confronted today by the fact that the methods used and His disciples are no ticed Ly our leading physicians. Psy chologists have taught the world the value of suggestion in curing human flls. While we emphasize the power of mind over matter and the neces- sity of controlling our mental powers in harmony with God's will, we should seek the assistance of a physician who has specialized in psychiatry, so that we may have the benefit of his psychological knowledge. We owe to a physician our knowledge of these two_miracles. We are living in age of wonder. The advancement made in the use of antiseptics in surgery, anesthetics, antitoxins and the use of electricity in diagnosis are all God's gifts to us. They “should be used along with prayer. When medical power falls we have not reached the limit of God's power to cure in answer to prayer. It is still true that “the prayer of faith shall save the sick.” Whenever Christianity recognizes and teaches the close relationship of the gospel with science by glving to the healing of the bodies for the Lord's service the same attention that our Savior gave to the ills of the body, the results that followed Peter’s work in Lydda and Joppa will be seen again among men. There is a close connection be- tween mental health and spiritual life. If we practice medicine without think- ing of God, we will be as apt to fail as if we practice mental healing and tailed to call upon men and women to repent and believe in Christ Jesus, who can save and heal today, as He did when among men.
