Approximately two-thirds of the absentee votes were malted ln the office, Mrs. White said Of the total, 80 came from &alem voters and 48 from pteiir.fts out side the city.

Gutenberg's invention multiplied many-fold the output which had perplexed the oriental sage, until now vast storehouses can scarcely contain copies of printed works.

The book review magazine is indispensable both as informant and as sieve, keep ing . the reader acquainted with what is new and giving a judici ous appraisal of the offerings. The Times Book Review is standard in the field. Now 50 years strong, it can go ahead with confidence for another half-century and long er of service in the field of litera ture.
