Details of equipment are being rushed In preparation for the dedication this month of the Annie Dor-land Saylor library, the gift of D. Saylor, native son of this town.

The $18,000 library building, of Mllton-faced brick on a concrete foundation, has been completed for some time and workmen are engaged in various phases of 'Installing equipment of the most modern type in the expectation of having the building" ready In every detail for simple but impressive exercises within the next few weeks. The building will provide more than adequate facilities for housing the several thousand volumes that have been accumulated through the zeal of the Women's Institute. Its design allows also for a comfortable gathering place fo the youth of the town, ample space for reading rooms and incorporates also a fully-equipped kitchen in the basement. Workmen are installing steam-heating apparatus this wek. Mr.

Women of whatever party are pleased by the heaw vote; by the Interest manifested in the issues at stake. For they have worked hard in this campaign. Not only have they stood shoulder to shoulder with their men folks, not only have they watched the roast or tended the neighbor's baby so the housewife could get out to register and to vote, but each in her own division has carefully scanned the "voter's list," and taken measures to correct it in case of padding, reported all this to her ward committee woman, who, in turn, reported It to the woman next foove.

Fashion has accepted as a staple the bright, dazzling hues of reptile leathers and the result is that millions of American women, and evon some of the men, are wearing and carrying the finished skins of hissing pythons, sturdy boa constrictors and countless lizards and alligators which once infested the wild underbrush of some tropic jungle. From the native hunter, wise In the lore of the Jungle, who slays these reptiles in their mlrs, to the American tanner who Is a world leader in the tanning of reptile leathers, the industry Is prospering as never beforethanks to the air conditioning engineer who has learned how to cut costs and improve product by controlling air for artificial drying and curing.

The reptiles are skinned and salted in the tropics but the addi-tionaf processes are completed in the United States where various technical obstacles have been overcome. It Is the rapid drying of these skins by means of giant fans which give tnem tne neeaea glossy appearance. The enormous growth of the reptile leather tanning Industry 1 due to the fact that American women, with their short skirts and colorful hosiery and clothes, must have great beauty and variety in their shoes, according-to Louis J. Robertson, president of the largest alligator producing company in the United States. "These reptile leathers are so distinctive in their colors and markings that they lend themselves well' for this purpose," Mr.

Robertson said. "Another reason is Jhat the tough scaly nature of various reptile leathers enables them to withstand wear and abrasion of all sorts. The tanners have learned how to impart a permanent gloss to these skins so that shoes made of them need almost no care to enable them to look their best. "When the skins are received at the tannery, they are soaked in water to remove Impurities and are then subjected to the usual liming process incidental to all skins which are being prepared for subsequent tanning either by vegetable or mineral process. In other words, there Is practically no distinction in the preparation of reptile leather for manufacture, as compared with skins of the bovine species.

We maintain an elaborate ventilating system in our plant and control air not only to convey shavings and waste but also to assist in drying the skins and driving the moisture out of the dry loft as fast as it evaporates from the skins which are suspended there. That saves us money on invested capital. Robertson explained that the Dutch East Indies furnish the largest supply of snake skins of the type known as Karungs and Pythons. In addition, certain types of lizards abound in Borneo and Java as well. Python skins are also found in Indochina and in India, although the markings of these respective species vary a little bit from that of the Javanese reptile.

Alligators, suitable for tanning, are most prolific in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida; Mexico, Nicaragua, Honduras, Venezuela and Madagascar. A certain type of Indian alligator is available from time to time but it is not very desirable, Mr. Robertson said. "The most prolific country in the world for alligators is Brazil but the skins of the animals which abound In the Amazon river are not susceptible to the tanning processes, as they are bony in nature." Mr. Robertson added.

"It is Impossible to state what skins are In greatest demand, because there is a factor which Is influenced by style. In the case of alligator leather, this seems to have passed out of the noveltv class and is now a staple. Lizard skins, of which the best varieties and largest quantities come from India, are exceedingly popular, and In my opinion, will remain so for years to come. Snake skin leather has not yet reached a staple position although the leather is very popular right now and probably will be for another twelve months."

Tired of hav ing their homes pillaged and burned and their daughters carried off by bandit gangs, several hundred women of northern KInangsu districts have declared war on bandits.

Two foreign missionaries who ar rived here recently report that the Indignant women and one of the smaller bandit gangs clashed near Ko Lah Da village and that the ban dits dits were routed, 15 of their number being killed, seven captured and several wounded. Nine of the women attackers were either killed or wounded. As a result of the reign of banditry and lawlessness In the northern districts of the province, troops under two generals have been ordered to suppress the bandits. The women bandit fighters are reported to have declared that they have no faith in the soldiers, declaring that half of them are at heart bandits themselves and that they, the women will operate against the bandits independently of the soldiers.

"At every point." said President McCracken, "we who are associated with the Junior Red Cross find ourselves in agreement with the soundest principles educators have set forth as the Ideals of the 20th century. I can say personally that In my ten years associa tion witn it, this movement has never been known to meet with oDDosition. Am I then unduly optimistic when I ciaim lor it tne endowment of that authority which derives, not from persons in high places, but from the ultimate authority in education, the child itself?" Just such "ultimate authority" was recently afforded by two unique conferences of Red Cross Juniors which took place In New Brunswick, one, a provincial gathering which convened in Saint John in late June of this year, the other a county affair which was held In mid October in Woodstock, Carlton county. In both instances these conferences were the first of their kind to be held in Canada. They were called by children, for children, officered by children and were almost exclusively managed by children who exhibited a degree of interest, aptitude, self confidence and civic mindedness which would have delighted the educational authorities who have been quoted.

The provincial conference of Juniors which was held at the same time as the annual convention of the Teachers' Institutes of New Brunswick had a total attendance of 168 delegates from thirteen counties and was representative of a total provincial mera bership of over 15,000 Juniors. Some of the small delegates cama very long distances, but owing to the fact that many teachers were on their way to their own convention, tha children were able to travel in the company of adults. Two of the Juniors had to travel 256 miles to tlio conference and many of them cama a hundred miles or more. One at the most interesting phases of tha gathering was that the Juniors themselves raised the money for traveling; expenses of their duly appointed delegates. In most cases these were raised by the branch as a whole but in one case, that of a fourteen year old boy who had been appointed frora his branch, he was obliged to raisa the money himself.

This he did by making fifty pounds of brown sugar Into candy and selling it. The Senior Red Cross attended to the billeting of the young delegates in the homes of their own members, so as to ensure absolute security of the personnel of this unusual convention, but aside from this the business of the conference was conducted by the Juniors themselves, children from ten to sixteen years of age. The capable chairman Ernest Sinclair, who has been a Junior for six years, proved himself a past master at the art of conducting meetings, for even at the great mass meeting to which were Invited the teachers' institutes and the citizens in general, he, with his equally capable secretary Gretchen Brownell, "carried on" with great success, as well as through a three days' program which might well have taxed the abilities of much older people. The Carleton county conference which took place In mid October was hardly less remarkable as an exhibition of the self confidence; self control, responsibility and reliability which result from Junior Red Cross i trainlne. It was called bv the luniors the provincial supervisor, attended the meetings In the capacity of guest.

It concerned an undernourished thin lad of eleven who came frora a very poor home but who seemed to find compensation for his lack of home privileges by making himself indispensable to the managers of this unique gathering of Red Cross juniors. He took charge of the food supplies for the lunches, kept an eye on the seating, denied himself the sight of the picturesque procession of juniors which was a feature ot the conference, in order to have everything ready for the afternoon session, and was on hand wherever he was most needed, enjoying his responsibilities hugely. A reception committee of two buys and a girl handled most of the arrangements at this conference; discussions were participated in by many of the speakers without previous preparation and proceedings were not only orderly, but brisk, businesslike and interesting, with initiative and self poise well in the foreground. In discussing the question as to how to Interest more boys in the Junior Red Cross at one of these gatherings, a small miss pungently opined, "Tho boys are quite all right so long as they hold all the offices," but another immediately rose to champion the cause of the boys whom, she stated, had done just as good work as the girls. Whereat the young girl in the chair, with an aplomb worthy of a woman of fifty instead of fifteen, introduced a new subject hurried and this one was automatically closed.

Of course, we can't but It would be Interesting since it is from them we get aaffron." "Oh, have you had saffron cake and buns," asked' Mar jorle, who had Just returned from a year in England. "We had them over there at Easter time. And I heard that old super stition that saffron dyed linen had a health value. Henry VIII had to forbid his people' to use the dye since they colored cloth with it and said this cloth had sanitary value and needed less laundry than white material." The club laughed over that and while they were still smiling Nancy told them of the first crocus. "Once upon a time there was a noble youth named Crocus who loved a shepherdess called Smllax.

But, according to the laws of the old Greek gods. Crocus could not stoop to wed a shepherdess. He killed himself In grief. The goddess Flora felt so badly for the bereft Smilax that she turned both Crocus and Smllax Into plants. He became the jaunty yellow flower we know and Smilax was the beautiful vine with tendrils which clings to Crocus.

For Grepk marriage festivals they used garlands bound together with smilax tendrils." The story stopiied while Nancy gave direction for making flowers and leaves.
