LIBRARIAN POURS WOEFUL
TALE INTO EAR OP M'LISS
Says Salary Is Not Commensurate With Ability
Required to Select Books for
City's Readers
""NCE ubon a tlmo there vas a young librarian who nns described by her
V-f friends ns being very smart Indeed, and In tho branch library In tho suburbs
uhero sho served a voracious t'Ubllc, she dally Justified their description.
Thoro wasn't much that this librarian did not know about boohs and their
contents. 8ho hnow her Santayan'o and her Swinburne. Sho could placo a quota
tion as easily from tho "Iliad" as sho could from Mlltdn's "Paradlso Lost."
When ono of her elderly patrons who had a forcctful memory approached
her,and said he'd foruotten ths namo of tho book ho wanted, hut ho knew thero
was a character In It who was always cracking his knuckles, sho replied without
liellaflon
"r suppose It's Tolstoi's 'Anna lvarcnlna jou'ro looking for." And It was.
klfcowlso when a jouth approached her and said he'd heard a lot about "this
hero 'Thrco Mosquitoes,'" aha went to tho shelf where Dumas' Immortal ro
mances stood.
But, although the young llhrnitan becamo of great valuo to tho community
sho served and was thoroughly appreciated by all, there was sometimes a
harassed wrlnklo In her brow.
"What's up?" I asked her en ono of these occasions.
"I'm thinking of leaving," she answered pettishly, "and of taking up stenog
raphy, or salesmanship, orsteachlng something that I can make more money by."
Apd because I woro a sympathetic look sho unfolded her tnlo of woe.
"There's much dlsgruntlimtnt among librarians In this city," sho said.
"Philadelphia demands goad scrvlco In Its frco libraries, but It la not willing to
pay for It. Before a girl can enter tho library training school at 13th and I.ocuit
streets sho must show her diploma from ono of the high schools, then sho Is put
through a stiff cntranco examination. .-
"Sho must demonstrate her familiarity ullh tho literature of all ages; must
l:now tho lives and works of prominent authors. Furthermore, sho must bo
'up on' current topics, must know who's who and why, and what tho leading
periodicals arc dealing with.
"If sho passes tho exam sho then Is given n six months' rourso In the Library
School, after which sho can get at Job at 940 a month not qulto $10 n week.
"In 'time sho may bo raised to $50 a month. This Is the most that nn assistant
can ever get. A few, as the years go by, become chief librarians. Then they
arc- reworded with a princely sum ranging anywhere from 60 to $75 a month.
This Is tho summit of achievement In library work In Philadelphia.
"Certainly," sho went on, "our work Is of as much Importance as that of
teaching. A good llbrnrlan'u Influence on the reading public Is tremendous.
Just as tho children depend on the teachers, so our patrons look to us to help
them In tho cliolco of books. Almost any other profession or business demanding
tho samo amount of mentality and Information would pay sovcral times ns
much. Thero Is woo among us." Iter companion standing by nodded her ap
proval. "0o jou think there'll be a strlko7" I a3ked.
"Oh, no, not that," sho said, "but tho dissatisfaction Is so universal that If
something Isn't done, I think tho most capablo girls will look to some other
profession to mako a living by."
And sho went to help a perturbed student look up Cooley's "Constitu
tional Law."

Clcaninr; Red Fox Furs
"(0l.X) ou tell mo how to clean a set
J of red fox furs, and also a set of
beaver furs? I saw directions for clean
ing whlto furs somo time ago, but sup
posed this method would not apply to red
fox nnd beaver. Wo have plenty of old
school books to give away to those who
win pay postoge or expressage on them.
"L. D"
I havo cleaned colored furs satisfac
torily In this way: With a whlsk-broom,
wet In alcohol uutll It drips, brush the fur
until every hair Is saturated donn to the
hide. Whllo It is still wet sift In all tho
pulverized fuller's earth It will hold Tha
darker tho earth the better. Cover to
exclude dust nnd do not touch for two
das. Then brush and beat out the pow
der and smooth the furs with a hat brush.
Grlmo nnd grease will come out -with tlio
alknllno powder. I havo not tried this
upon beavor furs, but I see no reason
why you should not. Tho process will
certainly clean them. Of course, nil tho
dust that clings to tho furs must bo welt
brushed out before they aro wet, other
wise you have to get rid of a deposit of
mud.
Vegetable Mince Pic
"This seems a little different from any
that I have seen, so I scud It In answer to
a call for green tomato mincemeat: Four
quarts of green tomatoes put through ths
meat grinder. Drain, then cover with cold
water and cook till tsnuer. Turn Into a
colander. Drain thoroughly, put Into a
saucepan and add two pounds of brown
sugar, one pound of raisins, half pound of
citron cut thin, half cup of butter, half
cup of vinegar, ono level tablespoon of
salt. Uoll thick and add one tablespoon
each of cinnamon and nutmeg and a tea
spoon of mincemeat. DLIZA R."

NEURITIS OF ONE ARM
AND RIB IN YOUR NECK
By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D.
All communication addrmed to MUi
Harland iliould lacloie itamped, elf
addreMtd cnvalope. and a clipping of the
article In which jou are lotereated. Btod
to Marlon IfarUnd, Evening Lcdi er( 60s
Cbeatnut atrect, Philadelphia.
TO EVERT person who has suffered
for many months with neuritis of ono
aim we would put this seemingly Irrelo
tant query, Have you a llttlo rib In your
neck?
Virtually every case of "cervical rib"
Is treated as a case of "brachial neuritis"
for a longe tlmo beforo tho real nature
of the trouble Is discovered, It It over Is
discovered.
There shouldn't bo any ribs In ones
neck. Tho place for ribs Is farther down
tho spinal column. But now and then
one Is discovered with a rib or usually a
pair of ribs In tho neck! and tho symp
toms, If any, nro very much tho samo as
those, of neuritis. There Is pain of a most
persistent kind, although It Is not con
tinuous. Tho patient notices blucness of
the hand, numbness and at times cramps
of the fingers. There is remarkable sen
sitiveness to cold an attack of pain will
coma on at night If the arm becomes un
covered. Perhaps tho patient finds tem
porary relief from pain by elevating the
arm above the head a symptom which
In itself speaks against the diagnosis of
neuritis. But pain from tho pressure of
a cervical rib on tho nerve plexus of tho
arm and the great vessels In the neck la
not accompanied with much atrophy or
wasting of muscles, aa Is the case In
neutrltls.
There Is but one way to diagnose cer
vical rib. An X-ray photograph, or ratBeh
two or three X-ray photographs, of the
neck taken from different planes will
show the superfluous rib. It usually
can't be felt by the physician. As a rulo
a cervical rib Is Only nn Inch or two or
at triost three n length but that Is long
enough to keep ono miserable for years.
The symptoms generally do not appear
until early adult age, often not until near
ly middle, age.
Any victim of an old neuritis of the
arm which has not responded to med
ical treatment Inside of a year will do
well to consider tho Investment of a
smaii wager on an x-ray photograph,
especially If some slight symptoms are
occasionally noted In the well arm.
Tho neck Is a bad placo to havo a
rib.
A pulsating mass Just above the collar
bone Is pretty sure to be caused by cer
vical rib.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
From Calomel to Snlol
After reading what you said about
calomel I stopped taking It for my liver.
Some friends advised mo to try salol and
nux vomica. Aro theso medicines good
for liver trouble7
Answer Salol Is a combination of car
bolic acid and sallcylto acid. Nux vom
ica consists of strychnlno and other less
Important things. How cither can affect
tho liver Is more than wo can under
stand. Salol Is used as an Intestinal anti
septic and In elimination It probably af
fects tho urlno. You had better consult
somo physician who will try to determine
why your liver troubles you-lf It Is the
liver.
"Fcty" Pills
A year ago I read that pills of asafotlda
are a tonic for weak nerves. I have
been taking them ever since with good
results. Is thero any harm from their
prolonged use?
Answer No harm. They are mildly
sedative, and nro also taken for "gas."
Old-fashioned people used to call them
"fety" pills.
