RUN JAZZ MUSIC OUT OF CHURCHES Jazz music is to be run from another stronghold—the church—if Mrs. Grace Wiedney Mabee, chairman of the church music of the National Federation of Music Clubs, has her way. Mrs. Mabee has organized the church musicians of Kansas City in to a body to work for the general uplift of church music. She recently stopped in Kansas City on her way to the convention of the National Federation of Music Clubs at Ashville, North Carolina. Her home is in Los Angeles. The jazz melodies used in so many of our Sunday schools and churches are an abomination, said Mrs. Mabee. She also condemned the popular hymns of the Billy Sunday type. Some women save the scraps as a matter of thrift, and some do it to avoid washing a few more dishes. Dyeing plants of England shut down all Saturday, the employees working nine and one-half hours the other five days of the week. ATTENDS M. E. CHURCH Mrs. Dora Fels, of Cypress, attended the dedicatory services of the fine First Methodist Church in Los Angeles yesterday, meeting her friends for the service. The new church, which has been under construction for two years, is a model of architectural convenience and beauty. Its cost was a million dollars, all of which has been raised. A $25,000 property, the gift of a member of the church, is ready for occupancy as a parsonage. The pipe organ was the gift of another member, besides many donations of smaller gifts and moneys. In a contest between the boys and girls' classes of the Sunday school the girls were victors, with a $20,000 subscription, and the boys $10,000. A very happy feature of the dedication was the presence on the platform of Dr. Helms' mother, who is 91 years of age. Bishop Leonard and many other notables were present.

Miss Maxwell's annual report was accompanied by that of Jesse Chilton, president of the library board, and Emanuel Smith, secretary of the board. Dr. Chilton's report is simply a prelude to Mr. Smith's and Miss Maxwell's report. Mr. Smith reported the total receipts of the year as $13,657.07, and total expenditures $10,143.57, leaving a balance of $3,513.57 to the good. Expenditures of $2,751.01 was made for books and $215.05 for periodicals. Total number of books added during the year was 1413, making a total number of volumes in the library at the end of the year 10,335. Of the number added during the year, 1351 were purchased, and 31 yere by gift, and 31 by binding. The number of books discarded and lost during the year were 375, making the total gain of volumes in the library 1308. The periodicals received during the year included 123 magazines, 14 newspapers, and 11 other serial publications regularly received. Thirteen hundred and seven new borrowers were registered during the year, but 110 cards were surrendered. The total number of active borrowers during the year was 5,375. Miss Maxwell reports 53 per cent of the residents of Fullerton are registered users of the public library, the population of the town being estimated at 10,000. The average daily circulation for the year was 271,66 per cent of which was fiction. The increase of circulation over last year was 13 per cent. The total circulation for the year, including both adult and juvenile circulation, was 82,780. Miss Maxwell gave the following summary of the work. "If the population of Fullerton is 10,000, the cost of library service for the past year has been $1.01 per capita, and the average cost per volume of the work." AMERICAN FLAG SAVES HER FROM CHINESE BANDITS Miss Margaret E. Deabler. Miss Margaret E. Deabler of Sanataria Springs, N.Y., has just reached Seattle from China, where she narrowly escaped capture by Chinese bandits. She was a member of a party sent out by the medical department of Syracuse college. When Chinese pirates threatened her and her party she drew the attention of the crew of an American gunboat on the Yangtze River by waving an American flag. ence department than in the circulation. "Reference work with the school children is assuming such proportions that we need a children's librarian to devote her full time to their needs, and if our entire building could be used for the children's work alone it would be none too large."

The average daily circulation for the year was 271, 66 per cent of which was fiction. The increase of circulation over last year was 13 per cent. The total circulation for the year, including both adult and juvenile circulation, was 82,780. Miss Maxwell gave the following summary of the work. "If the population of Fullerton is 10,000, the cost of library service for the past year has been $1.01 per capita, and the average cost per volume circulated has been about 12 per cent. The total circulation for home use has been 82,780, or an average of over 8 books for every man, woman and child in Fullerton. In addition to this 9640 adults and a great many children have used books and periodicals in the library reading rooms. Twenty-four per cent of all books circulated was non-fiction. The juvenile circulation was 25 per cent of the total. Ten years ago the annual circulation was 19,484. Five years ago it was 37,761. This year it is four times what it was in 1913, and more than twice what it was five years ago. These figures all show the constantly increasing use of the library, but there are no figures to show the great amount of reference work done during the year. More than ever before it seems that the people of our city and the surrounding country have realized the practical value of a library and there has been a greater increase in the use of the refer- ence department than in the circulation. "Reference work with the school children is assuming such proportions that we need a children's librarian to devote her full time to their needs, and if our entire building could be used for the children's work alone it would be none too large." "No new or unusual service has been undertaken this year, not because of a lack of inspiration or desire to serve on our part, but because in our crowded quarters we have found it impossible to do more than carry on the work already started and serve our patrons as well as we possibly can under existing circumstances." "We have not lost courage because our hoped for and much needed new building has not been provided, but we believe the time is not far distant when a building adequate for the needs of our city will be a reality. "In closing this report the librarian wishes to express her grateful appreciation of all gifts and other evidences of good will, and of the co-operation and excellent work of each of her co-workers. She wishes to thank the management of the Tribune and the News for their generosity in giving us valuable publicity, and the members of the library board for their unfailing interest and support."

WOMEN URGED TO BE SELF-RELIANT (By International News Service) AKRON, Ohio, July 9.—Miss Josephine Bauman, clerk of the city council, believes every woman should fit herself to keep the wolf from the door if the necessity arises. She heartily supports the theory of Woodbridge N. Ferris of Michigan, who recently advised the girls of the Packard Commercial School not to marry till they were able to support their husbands. However, Miss Bauman disagrees with the statement credited to Amy Lowell, Boston poetess, who said she believed the average woman was not intended for intellectual life. "Women are entitled to the same opportunitis as men when it comes to earning their living," Miss Beauman holds. She has been her own breadwinner more years than she ABANDONED MINE IS REDISCOVERED ST. LOUIS, July 9.—An unusual and romantic story, with a picturesque setting in the Ozark Hills, has come to light here in the discovery that ore deposits at Iron Mountain long believed to have been exhausted again are being worked and that the deposits are found to be deep and plentiful. Thirty years ago owners of the land on which the ore deposits were located sold the property at a price believed to be $100,000. The property since the discovery of the existence of the ore is estimated to be worth $10,000,000. The original owners, in 1893, who believed the mines had been worked out, sold the property at a low figure. It changed hands numerous times until it was purchased by L.
