"The chickens do not takeposses-

"In the place of the engine a water

feeds a drinking pan beside the bus.
Within the bus I saw special trap

"It is no idle joke to say that every

Beginning a Library
In a world that sinaaly teems with
books, many of which are procurable
at prices so small as to be within
,each of people with the most slender
means, it is disconcerting to learn
'"from a recent statement, made upon
the authority of a number of uni-
versity teachers, that the average stu-
dent of the present generation does
not know how to read for himself.
There was a time when poor stu-
dents had a greater familiarity with
books than their more fortunate suc-
cessors to -day. They had not the same
advantages but many of them seem
to have been endowed with, or early
to have acquired, a book -sense, which
led them to collect for themselves curi-
ous little libraries, which they gleaned
from secondhand book -shelves or book-
barrows at the expenditure of a few
of their never too plentiful coppers.
And there are at the, present time,
possessors of fine libraries, who can
point with pardonable pride to a hand-
ful of modest, shabby, but none the
less precious little volumes, occupy-
ing an honored place upon their well
furnished shelves, that had been
gleaned in this way, and which repre-
sent the beginnings from which their
library has grown.
That being the case, we venture to
suggest that young and old alike
should be encouraged to form libraries
of their own. A. very good rule to
adopt would be that, whenever we feel
the desire to read a book a second
tinie, to pause and consider whether
that is not a book we should buy for
ourselves, The result would be that
as these judiciously selected volumes
gradually form themselves into a grow•
lug company of book -friends, we shall
come to realize that we are in proud
possession of a librare of our own,
anis th, t our appetite fc: books has
been growing with what it has been.

Britain Now Supporting
Making of Cheap Jewelry
A phase of the British jewelry busi-
ness which has developed rapidly dur-
ing the last live years is that of the
chain stores selling foreign -made imi-
tation gems, according to a Depart.
meat of Commerce report. Both the
number and elaborateness of these
shops have been steadily increasing
and they now practically dominate the
field.,
first of these chain projects was
that of a British firm, who about eight
years ago instituted the guinea string
of artificial pearls. At that time the
trend of fashion was toward a cheap
line of pearls, and for a period of years
opened a number of shops. The pearls
�zv1Mfactu2-ed aa..,tiusiAeaa_ tt?td ,
were manufact:ked i'n' rraatcro,. n
With the decline in demand for arti-
ficial pearls about five years ago, an-
other company entered the market
selling Czechoslovak an German
rings and brooches. Ten shillings was
their top price at this time, but as the
volume of business increased and
their sources of supply became more
efficient, the greater portion of their
stock consisted of the 11ve-shilling
variety,
The shops are_Iocated on the streets
devoted to the best women's trade and
a great deal of attention has been de.
voted to the arrangement of window
displays and showcases.
