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

j In the new Braille typo. Because of
j the newness of the revised Braille (
I adopted for teaching to the American
I war blind, literature prluteil In It la
I limited to fewer than 300 books, j
Though the total number of blinded {
soldiers Is small, their need of books
Is great, and the "magic of print" can
do much to restore hope and useful- 1
ties* to thein.
Not only for former service men who
are sick or disabled Is tlie association
working. The value of books proved
so great to men in camps that efforts I
are still being made to connect dls- 1
charged soldiers and sailors with libra
ries wherever they may he. Hundreds I
of letters have reached A. L. A. head
quarters from former service men lett
ing of the lack of librafacilities In

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. Whether the American turner It

a good Job better or whether the better
| crop! of hi* neighbor, who has attend
ed an agricultural college or school, ha*
■purred htm on la a matter dUßcnlt to
deturmlne. 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. Walter Williams of Osseo,
Wis., wanted to know If he could make
fuel alcohol from frozen potatoes and
■polled fruits, and If he could, were
1 there any books on the subject The

to treat scale, others desire fact* on
hog raising. Books giving Information
on crop rotation are in demand.
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

money Is not being raised through the
medium of an Intensive drive but
through the Individual efforts of the
librarians, library trustees and frisnda

USE DOGS AS SMUGGLERS
Animals Aid Illicit Dealers In Bring
ing Liquor and Drugs Into the ,
United States.
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.

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

Not one of the eighteen preceding
amendments to" the Federal Constitu
tion has made such a time record In
view ot the number of ratifications ' ,
needed In each case. A federal amend
ment todfty needs three tlnfes as many
ratifications as were needed to ratify
the twelfth, for instance, which has

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
STRENGTHENS
WHITEVOTE
White Population Shows Greater
Increase Than Black.
"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." " _ i

and county and have five dollars left
