Now York Libraries are Occrcrowded.
New York, March 15.?Unemploy?
ment and lower wages arc serving to
make New York increasingly literary.
A drift from tho moving picture the?
aters Seems perceptible.
These aro the statements which
come from officials of the city's pub?
lic libraries, who declare that a new
phenomenon has been observed?
crowding of branch libraries during
tho morning hours as well oh during
the afternoon and evening.
Tho recent rapid Increase in the pa
tronage of the branch libraries is at?
tributed chiefly to unemployment am'
to lower wages.
The two tears preceding last Octc
ber bad been marked by a decrease
In the demand for books at th?
branches although the normal increas*
continued at tho main library. Library
officials hesitated to give any explana?
tion for this situation. They remark
ed that both increases and decrease*
in library attendance in other cltle
of the count it had been laid to hlgl
wage?. The conclusion that eeonomh
conditions had a direct bearing upor.
library patronage was forced upor
them by the flecking of men Into thi
branches at the inception of the In
dust rial depression.
Most of Greater New York's branch
libraries are crowded thc*e days frun
the time of the opening at 9 a. m., t
Iho time of the closing at 9 p. m. .v
ihe main library building on Fifth
ivenue overcrowding Is chronic. Th'
facilities have been overtaxed for th'
last five years, library officials say.

extended to cover Bryant Square all
the seats would probably be occupied
as soon as the addition was complet?

So great has been the demand for
books at the branches with the re?
sultant wear and tear that the total

Ventilation for Now York's Ycliltluar
Tunnel.
Washington. March 15.?Further
investigations on ventilation of th?
projected Hudson River VehlCUlSI
Tunnel between New York City and
New Jersey ere being made, by the
Bureau of Mines in cooperation with
the tunnel commissions of both states
The main problem presented Is ll.Sl
of rendering the air in the tunm-l safe
for drivers while hundreds of auto?
mobiles are exhausting gases from
their motors.
The BUra?tl Of Mines has bullt c
mod* l of the tunnel at Urbans, when
ihe University of Illinois is located
and is conducting experiments to de?
termine the best method of moving
tho required amount of air through
the tunnel.
A number of Yale University stud?
ents recently volunteered their fee*.
Vltes in tests to determine the effect
of tho motor gases on the human sys?
tem. Other experiments have beer
made by tho Bureau at Pittsburgh, to
determine the amount of nir neces?
sary to bo mixed with the gases t<
render them harmless.
A final check on all experiments
will be made at tho P.ruceton, Pa..
Experimental station, whore an oval
shaped tunnel having elmllar con?
struction duets to those propoaed in
the Hudson River Tnnnel and an a*i
Hi length of 400 feet is being con?
structed tinder ground. Efforts wit
be made to determine in this final
experiment:
The diffusion of exhaust ga?es in the

by the operation of Internal-combus?
tion motors;
Physiological effects of temperature

CAPITAL NEWS
From the Capital City
Columbia, March 22.?An unusual
situation exists in the pa mo depart?
ment of the state, ucoording to report1
submitted by the office of State Hank
Examiner Craig, to Governor Cooper,
showing- that licensee amounting to!
approximately nine thousand dollars
have not been all accounted for, and
Chief State Game Warden A. A. Rich
ardson has called all the chief wardens
to come to Columbia for a conference,
to furnish information regarding the
license not accounted for.
Mr. Richardson baa requested the
wardens to appear In Columbia at the
rate of eight a day. beginning on the
26th. and it will require a full week
I to confer with all of the county war?
dens. After the records have been
checked with those wardens, who are
responsible for game department
funds In the counties, exact where?
abouts of the unaccounted for licenses
will probably be determined, it :'.s
stated.
Mr. Richardson states he has not
taken over the records of the game
department and will not be able t<? do
so until he has gone over matt >rs
with the county wardens. There Is a
great deal of complexity about the
game warden system, and the new
warden desires to make a complete
check of nil affairs before he assumes
full charge of tho office.
Pending this checking of the affairs
of the office Mr. Richardson is mak?
ing no contracts with county wardens
Tin re are. it is said, some misunder?
standings in various parts of th^
slate as to commissions of wardens,
the delegation of authority and the
like, and it Is probable that some
weeding out of wardens will have i ->
be made in order to straighten out
the situation. There are said to be
possibly more wardens than neces?
sary.

tant medical gatherings are to be held

American Red Croevs Fights Typhus.
Washington. March 15.?Typhus,
the disease which has recently made
Its appearance in New York, Is being
fought today by the American Red
Cross in one of |tS original strong?
holds, Poland, with 5 hospital trains
consisting of ten cars each. The hos?
pital trains prove an exceptional ef?
fective weapon against the epidemic
which is reaping toll of thousands of
lives among the Poles in the districts
devastated by the soviet armies in tho
summer campaigns.
Many thousands of typhus cases are
found In thi small villages and isolat?
ed farm cottages, far from any hos?
pital, and proper medical attention is
SU impossibility. The live trains
which are operated throughout the
isolated districts of Eastern Poland
were fitted up as a means of carrying
on relief work which was abandon?
ed while the bolshCVlst drive was un?
der way.
The trains have specific sections in
which they Operate and are often
away from their base of supplies as
long as two months at B time.
The work Is mostly confined to
Smsll villager, for here are found the
mo.;t needy cases. When the train
reaches a village, it is side-tracked
and a thorough inspection of the- sec?
tion is made and all cases of illness
are given immediate treatment.
One car of each train is equipped
as an Operating room, ?nother for
dressings and examinations, The
other cars include living quarters for
the doctors and nurses alid about
tour carl are loaded with relief sup?
plies.

For More Milk and Butter Health in
Greenville.
Ore en vi lie, March 22.?There is a
movement now on in QreenvUle city
and county which holds Interesting
feature! for every family in the state,
viz. a movement to use more milk.
The scientific reasons for the neces?
sity of more milk in the diet of south?
ern people, especially children, arc
being fully demonstrated and illus?
trated by a corps of specialists un?
der the leadership of Miss Hoover, of
the dairy division, United States de?
partment of agriculture, who has
been assigned to this state at the re?
quest of the state board of health.
Despite the fact that it is .just before
Easter, the Greenville merchants are
giving treely their window space to
be used by the home demonstration
agents Of Winthrop and the dairy
sp< cialisls from Clemson, who are as?
sisting Miss Hoover in the many
demonstrations and exhibits, which
are on tor the entire week.
Surveys Show Low Consumption.
A preliminary survey of Green?
ville county in which 3,114 school
children wero examined showed that
598 children, or 19.2 per cent, were
10 per cent underweight. Of the
1,987 white children examined 437,
or 21.5 per cent, were 10 per cent un?
derweight, while of the 1,127 negro
Children examined llti, or 11.3 per
cent were undei weight to a similar
decree.
In a dietary survey by the Win?
throp agents it was found that 44
per cent of the white children drink
some milk daily, while the same per- j
CentSgS also drink tea or coffee.
Only 32 per cent, however, drink as
much as a pint of milk a day. As j
many as 607 children, or 17.3 per
cent, drink no milk whatever. These
figures are perhaps fairly typical of
the whole Htate.
The estimate on the present use
of milk in Greenville county is 3-4
of a cup per person each day. It Is
the opinion of the best authorities
that 25 per cent of the children of
QreenvUle county (and this probably
holds good for the whole state) arc
underweight, and that by giving a
child a quart of milk per day normal
weight would be obtained In most
cases.
Groat Interest Among Children.
In the present campaign speakers
are going to all of the schools and
have aroused much interest among
the children with their exhibits and
lectures. One little girl said she
was going home and drink a big
glass of milk first thing. A boy on
tho street slapped one ot his gang on
the back saying, "Good morning,
'Fannie Fat/ have you had your
quart of milk today?" One whole
class in school upon being asked the
morning aftor the lectures whether
they had had milk for breakfast re?
ported in the affirmative, whereupon
one little girl turned to her compan?
ion and said, "No you haven't be?
cause your com dcxion's bad." One
boy at whose home no milk was
available told of going regularly once
a week to a neighbor's and drinking
"enough milk to last a week." An?
other boy after school on passing a
show window where the fuel value
of milk as compared with other
foods was being shown with the use
of small models of railway trains in
motion was heard to i->ay, *T tell you
abopt 2 o'clock my fuel runs low."
Many parents have indicated their
Intention of buying cows at the urgent
demands of the children."
F.xexdlcnt Co-operation.
Motion pictures on the use of milk
are being shown at the picture
houses in the city and arc attracting
much attention.
The Y. W. C. A. cafeteria reported
that the consumption of milk has
doubled since the campaign started.
Local dairymen also note an im?
provement in demand. They all
signed an agreement not to advance
the price of milk, before the govern?
ment and state forces would come to
Greenville to start the movement, as
the object Is to increase the use of
milk and not the price paid to deal?
ers or dairymen.
The local co-operation received in
this work has been excellent. The
public schools, the local board of
health, individual concerns, and all
kinds of organizations have render?
ed invaluable assistance without
which the work could not have been
done.
I|t is believed that similar cam?
paigns put on in other cities and coun?
ties of the state would accomplish a
very desirable increase In the us<? of
dairy products and the keeping of
family cows.
The figures given above In regard
to the dietary survey concerning the
low per capita consumption of milk
are especially interesting and signifi?
cant in view of the large use of soft
drinks throughout the state. It is re?
ported that the revenue tax on soft
thinks paid to the internatal revenue
department for the eleven months
preceding November, l20, amounted
to $51.000,000.00, indicating a total
expenditure for soft drinks of $500.
000,000. At this rate the expenditure
for a whole year would be $546,460,
540.0t?, or enough to supply every
person in the country with over one
third of a pint of milk dall>. This
would go far towards making up the
deficiency in our use o." dairy pro
duets.

What Are You Going; To Do?
What are we goiru? to do about
selling cotton? Do you have the
dato or time fixed in your mind when
you will part with tho fleecy staple
that you produced in 1920? The mer?
chants are selling their poods for
lens than cost, and a great many peo?
ple are saying that the farmer should
sell some of his cotton regardless of
tho cost of production. 1 have a
time fixed in my mind when I may
sell some of my cotton and I shall
no think of rolling it sooner unless I
am forced to sell. It is true that the
merchants are s-dling their goods re?
gardless of the original cost to them,
but th y are guided by what they
can replace the goods in fixing their
prico to the consumer. When the
price of all the things used in pro?
ducing cotton r* ach the point where
I can produce cotton for the price I
can g't for my cotton with a small
profit, then J shall sell some or all of
my cotton. The cost of food stuffs
and hardware and almost everything
that enters into the growing of a cot?
ton crop is about double the pre-war
prices. The price of cotton should bo
today, to be in line with everything
eise?, more than double what it ia It
would be foolish from a business
Standpoint to sjetl cotton for present
prices and go on producing moro
cotton to sell for less than the cost
Of production. 't would not oily be
the ruin of the farmer but a few
crops produced and sold below the
cost of production would paraVyse
the business industries of the south.
If the present price of cotton remains
for any length of time and the cost
of implements and supplies remain
whore they are. it would not surprise
OAS to see the cotton farmer organize
j along the Sapiro plan of controlling
the commodity, by selling all of the
cotun by a cooperative plan which#
would not permit a sale below tho
rest of production. Tb? tobacco grow?
ers are making fome headway organ?
izing along thes*) lines, and three of
tho southorn cotton states are doing
some work along that line. If thia
Cooperative movement can control
production, and only furnish cotton
for which there is an actual domand.
I pray that the movement may soon
spread over the entire south, and that
it may be able to deal with the Eng?
lish spinners, who told us a year ago
that "it would be a calamity for the
south to produce less than a four?
teen million bale crop." Now they
tell us that we ought to give our cot?
ton away necause we did not nave
any more sense than to try to pro?
duce all of the cotton that we could,
and that we have produced enough
cotton to last fo r two years.
I have never been one of those
who tried to adviso anyone when to
sell his cotton, tut I do believe that
for anyone to sell cotton below the
COSt that be can produce another
crop is committing financial suicide.

Pisgah News and Views.
Pisgah. March 21.?March is sure?
ly a summer month. Several have
lost ? omo meat owing to the hot
weather.
Corn planting will go forward next
Weke and cotton will follow. Not
much cotton will be planted and very
little guano will be used as compared
with former years. Oats look very
promising. If soda can be bought to
go on them the crop will turn out all
0. k. unless it is very dry.
From information a number of
people will be very hard pressed to
live this year. A number have no
corn and very little meat, and as
things are on a cash basis, I don't
see how 'hey are going to get through
Tho farmers have lost heavily from
the low price of cotton. It will take
some years to catch up with their
debts it" cotton is low next fall. The
boll weevil scare now is nothing
but a kind of bug that looks like
them. They will do no damage be?
fore July. The farmer is beset with
numerous difficulties. More so thin
ever. It surely is a hard struggle
to get on at present.

very good.

It was said that if Germany could

continuously with different countries
ever since the armistice with Ger?

cause of further fighting. It looks as
if Germany has been more sinned
against than sinning. Emperor Wil?
liam's book no doubt will tell the
world some things it don't know as
to who was in fault about the big
war. (Some of bis statements have
already been nailed as untrue by o
who knows, and no doubt more will
he when the book appears).
