MISS AMERICA MEETS THE PRESS
EVEIYH MARGARET AY, of Ephrata, Pa., newly crowned Miss America,
faces newsmen in New York as she began her career as the nation's
beauty queen. The 20-year-old girl said she thinks it's nicer in lots of
ways to be considered beautiful than intelligent (International)
ISO THIS IS NEW YOBKj

The two most talked-about lions
In this city are not in the zoo. They
sit in front of the big public library
at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue,
and are stoner People who can't 1
think of anywhere else to meet
a friend, say "Meet me at the Li
brary lions". These two big white
cats have names, too. Several
names, depending upon whether
one thinks they are like the king
of beasts, or whether as some have
charged, they are "too tame or
mild". They are called variously,
Leo and Leonora, Lord Lenox and
Lady Astor and Patience and For
titude, the last monicker being be
stowed by the late Mayor LaGuar
dia. Once a soldier was forced to
miss a date at the lions, so sent a
telegram addressed to the stood
up person in care of. "The North
Lion in front of the New York
Public Library, April 3, 1945,
twelve o'clock noon." The telegram
was delivered.
3
And speaking of this famous
library, I left the lions, went in
and did a bit of research, learning
that every year over three million
persons come in here and ask ques
tions on everything from how to
make hominy to the formula for
synthetic musk. The institution
has the world's largest collection
of pictures, 87 miles of books in
3,000 languages and dialects, Bee
thoven's piano, a wooden Indian
and the original letter wihch Co
lumbus wrote about discovering
America.
3
Strangely enough, of the three
million persons who annually en
ter the doors of the big handsome
library, built by John Jacob As
tor and others, only one third of
them ever draw out a book. No one
has yet figured out what the other
two millions do, but inside one
sees them pouring over catalogs,
telephone directories and diction
aries, viewing the various exhibits
?and in the winter, just loafing
or warming themselves. The mag
nificent marble building has such
fine construction and high ceilings
that it is naturally cool in summer.
Of course, it is well-heated in win
ter. An especially impressive paint
ing that I admire is that of the
blind Milton dictating "Paradise
Lost" to his daughters. I must say
that some of the people who visit
this Institution look a lot like those
described by Samuel Johnson as
frequenting London libraries?"the
biggest collection of human freaks
in captivity". One question that
was asked the information desk,
and received the usual courteous
answer, was "How many words are
there in the English language?"
Answer: 418,825.

Books in this library range in
size from a one-inch Bible to a
flve-foot folio edition of "Audu
bon's Birds," in value from a pen
ny pamphlet to a Gutenberg Bible
worth half a million dollars. The
books are made of clay tablets,
Chinese scrolls, papyrus leaves,
bamboo strips?and oh yes, paper.
There are 40,000 books in Braille.
Here one can consult telephone
books from 650 foreign cities and
2,000 towns and cities in this coun
try. Here is also kept a fine collec
tion of college yearbooks. A special
group of books known as the
Arents Collection deals entirely
with tobacco?but you are not al
lowed to smoke while using them.
Then there is the story about the
book on Eskimoes which came out \
a few years ago and was hailed by
reviewers as the most authentic ac
count of these polar people that
had yet been written. The author
admitted that he had never gone
out of the New York Public Li
brary in writing it.

What was perhaps the most un
usual request to the library came
from an Army surgeon who phoned
the head of the music division and
hummed the fragment of a tune
which his patient, a victim of am
nesia, had suddenly remembered.
The librarian quickly identified it
as a piece from "The Student
Prince". The surgeon then hummed
other tunes from the operetta to
his patient, who then recalled his
entire background, because he had
sung in "The Student Prince" in
high school. One day a young bride
phoned to say she had just plump
ed a chicken into the oven but
suddenly realized that she did not
man rushed in once to find out how
ma nrushed in once to find out how
to feed an eel which her daughter
had just brought home. And on an
other occasion, a tipsy Individual
came in to ask for the date of
President McKinlcy's assassination
in order to win a bet "with the
boys". When he learned he won,
he went away saying. "Thank God
for the New York Public Library!"
Special Memory
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) ?
Edward Barton, custodian of safe
deposit valuta at Union Trust? Co.,
says it's no trick at all to remem
ber 5,000 names and faces. He
proved it the other day by remem
bering the name of a man who
had Been away seven years.
Barton, 13 years at his job,
works his memory trick this way:
When a customer comes to the
vault room his mind Tecalls the
number or position of the man's
box. The name comes by associa
tion.
"I started by remembering the
numbers and locations of the doz
en or so directors' boxes," he says,
"and just accumulated the rest."
' But Barton is not infallible.
Sometimes on his way home to
West Suffield, Conn., he forgets
errands his wife asked him to do.
And once for the life of him he
couldn't remember his automobile
registration number.
