I Hospital library aervlce maintained -hiy the American Library Association' during the war was credited with great' value In aiding In the recovery of many Sick and disabled men. Tlil-re are still In our hospitals more than 10,000 former service men. Of these nearly 8,000 are In Public Health Service hospitals, the,remainder In' i civilian hospitals. Books, magazines 1 snd newspapers aro sent to these men' ! from the American Library Associa-j j tlon. In the larger hospitals, j Itiif over 300 patients, special librarians ! are placed. To the smaller hospitals, { I through the co-operstlon of many pub- j i He libraries, library visitors are sent to visit the wards once or twice a week and learn the book needs of the pa j tlents. A special effort Is made to supply tii | ex-service men in hospitals the books ; In demand as n result of the training I given hy the Federal Board for Voca -1 tlonul Kducatlon.

' FARM DWELLERS ASK roR BOOKS Announcement of th« "Books for Everybody" Movement Brings Letter Flood.

The announcement of the entrance of the American Library Aaaodatloo I npon U>e "Book* for Everybody" movs j ment and *tl|l later new* accounts of j the sctivlllea of tlie organization along ! these lines resulted In a widespread appeal from residents of the rural dls-' I trlcti of the country for books on farm-' log.

But the fact remains the farmer Is asking for booka. The great, majority of American farmers are el (her without libraries and book service ' or they are Inadequately served. One of the points which the Amerl-' can Library Association In its "Books for Everybody" movement Is strongly urging 'Is the extension of the county library system In states where enabling acts have bpen paused—some twenty one In number—and the proper leglala tion In others which have not yet tak en the step. The system, with Its cen tral library and radiating lines to sta tions In the remotest sections of the county, assures good books to every man, woman and child who cares to | reach out a band and grasp one. Letters Show Need of Service. The American Llbctry Association Is | not giving Its entire attention to the urban dweller, nor Is It neglecting the centers of population for the rural dla- I trlcts and communities. It Is, however, | unquestionably eager to create a steady i flow of Informative reading to rural America. That the need for such serv ice exists and that It Is anXloualy sought Is evidenced In every letter of tills nature received by state library commissions and by the A. L. A. A few excerpts have been selected because they seem to express most truly the needs of thousands of others, j " When Lydla Carlson, whose term Is heyond Mason, Wis., asked for copies | of "Productive Farm Crops," "Pro | ductlve Vegetable Growing" and •'Prin clples of the Practice of Poultry Rais ing" »he echoed the book needs of her I neighbors. Then she revealed the fact ' that her eyes are not always In the furrows by asking for a copy of Col- I tins' "Book of the Stars." What Others Desired. There was a pressing need behind I the letter from James Dunn, who lives ' ten miles from Convent, La., the near , est town, which has a population of only 500 people. He asked for a copy ,of "I'rsctlcal Farm Drainage." The . task of keeping hi* acres dry was be | jrond him.

The American Library Association la raising a $2,000,000 fund to finance the "Books for Everybody" movement which during the next three years will be carried on In eo-operntton with exist ing libraries and library agencies. The money Is not being raised through the medium of an Intensive drive but through the Individual efforts of the librarians, library trustees and frisnda of librarian.

Training dogs to smuggle liquor across the Klo Grande river Is the latest device of lngenloes minds of those who make a giving by mean* of Illicit Importation to the United States of liquor and drugs. That In novation In line running came to light at El Paso, Tex., recently when a Mexican river guard shot a "dog. smuggler" In the act of swimming the Rio Grande with four bottles of tequila, a Mexican liquor ot cactus distillation, tied across his back. The dog, as the story of the serv ice to his master Is told by United States customs men, had been mak ing nightly trips between Juares and El Paso with contraltand goods for several month*. The strange, but regular, action* of the animal first were noted by customs officers about two months> ago. Beginning at Wo o'clock In the morning, the dog would begin hta operatlona. Signal lights llsshed by confederate* in the gang of smugglers stationed on each aide of the river alwayi preceded the dog'a trip across dream. Dashing out of a cluster of squalid adobe houses along the Mexican aide of the river, the ani mal would plunge Into the Bio Grande with hi* load. Emerging on the American side, the "smuggler" always was successful In eluding pursuers, who often sought to Issso the dog, being loath to shoot an unsuspecting law violator. 1 High Points—Declaring that the city council had not compiled with the requeet for Mlariaa of 9100 monthly and two uniforms annually the sal aried members of the High Point fire department went out on a strike.

J '' . ' : ! Ratification Map of the Federal Suffrage Amendmentl! The 35 White States Have Ratified. Make North Carolina the Perfect 38. 17,500,000 WOMEN Will CAST VOTE FOR I PRESIDENT THIS YEARI REGARDLESS OF RATIFICATION J Only 4,000,000 Voted in 1916. ; Women's Votes Gave Election j to the Democrats in 1916. What About 1920? ! How can a Democratic state refuse to help women to vpte for President this year?- asks former State Senator Frank P. Hobgood of Greensboro, N. C. In 1916 It was frequently said that It was the women voters of the west who re-elected Woodrow Wilson. At that time thore Were less than 4,000,000 women of voting age living In the states which had enfranchised women. Now there are 17,000,000. Even If the Federal Suffrage Amend ment to the United States Constitution Is not passed by 30 states, all these women can vote for President becuuse they have gained either complete suf frage or presidential suffrage, or, In the case of Arkansas and Texas, full pri mary suffrage. If one looks on the suf frage ratification map, he will sec that except for two littl6 states, Vermont and Connecticut, all the states of the north, northeast, northwest and south west have already ratified. The only states standing out against ratification are those of the southeast. , It is the men of the south who are blocking women's freedom. And what are they doing? They cannot keep I the women of Wyoming, Colorado, | Idaho, Utah, Washington, California, Arizona, Kansas, Oregon, Montana, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Michi gan, South Dakota, Illinois, North Da kota, Nebraskq, Bhode Island, Indiana, lowa, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Ohio, Arkansas and Texas from voting for President J They are holding back the vote from Democratic North Carolina women and letting the Bepubllcan women of Maine walk away with it. Is this good politics? • f 1 The states where women vote con- j trol 839 of the total 1531 electoral votes. , This means that .North Carolina's , twelve might be wiped out by Call- , fornla's 13, if the California women should this year feel that the Bepubli- 1 can party, which lms given tfc« suffrage amendment 29 ratifications, Is a better party for women than the Democratic ; party, which has rejected the amend ment In six states. The refusal of southern men to give a thirty-sixth ratification to the women of the country will not defeat woman suffrage; It will only defeat the loyal women of'the Democratic south, and a few women In the smaller states of the north. MOST POPULAR AMENDMENT IN THE HIBTORY OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION. Nine atates had ratified the Federal Suffrage Amendment within three weeks from the date It was signed In June, 1919. That was one-fourth of the totnl number required. Of those nine states seven were already In ses ■lon and could make quick work of ratification. After that It was a ques tion of calling special sessions for the ■pedal purpose of ratifying, as sll the other 34 legislative sessions of 1919 had tfolied. Yet so widespread waj. the sentiment for ratification that within three mouths. In spite of ex t>en«e, In spite of summer heat, in spite of everything, eight states had called special sessions. Before the end of 1919 five mere had called spe cial sessions and ratified. January. 1920, was ushered In by ratification In two states that held regular sessions. Another state. Now Jersey, took ad -1 vantage of Its regular session to ratl : fy In February. But 1920 Is not a "legislature year." Very few states are in regular session this year. So the main hope for a ratification came right hack to the spe cial seaalon. Six governors In all Sulphate of Ammonia Factory Washington. (Special)—L. T.

"W%en the men of North Carolina make the excuse of keeping the vote . from white women of the south, be cause they fear the negro women's vote," says Dr. Delia Carroll Dixon of Raleigh, N. C., "do Ihey think what I ' they are doing? r "Here Is some arithmetic for them: ' "In the fifteen states south of the Mason and Dixon line are: ' 10,661,926 white women 4,354,089 negro women 6,307,837 more white than negro women. 10,001,920 white women 8,043,040 total negro population 2,018,280- more white women than total negro population. "These fifteen states are: Maryland, Vlrglnlu, North Carolina, South Caro lina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Ala bama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, West Vir ginia. v | "In four southern states, Texas, Ten nessee, Virginia and Kentucky, the number of white women exceeds the whole colored population. In Alabnmn, Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, I and Louisiana, woman suffrage would ' tremendously Increase the preponder- | ance of white votes; in Mississippi and South Curollna, where the colored imp utation exceeds tije white, equal suf frage would double the Intelligent elec torate, since in both these states there are educutlonal qualifications limiting the franchise to those who can read. "Equal suffrage In southern states would: "L Increase vastly the while vote. "2. Raise the educational and moral atandard of the electorate. "Not only would woman suffrage give white control in these states a ■more permanent footing than now, j but whlto supremacy will continue to grow, star-e the Increase of white popu lation Is more rapid than the Increase of colored population."
