Bardwell, superintend ent of water supply for the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad on "Railroad Water Softening." Bardwell stated that few people realize the relation between , railroads and water. "Railroads use more water," he stated, bined." Railroads and Water The quality of the water has a great influence on the econom ical operation of the railroad, for if the water is not soft it causes a great added cost in the operation of railroads, according to Bardwell. The total cost of water on American railroads is around 50 million dollars a year, and the total consumption of water is around 500 billion gal lons, 350 billion of which is used for steam purposes. About 40 per cent of the water now used for steam is treated to remove scaling and various other mat ter, and about 90 per cent of the rest of the water could be treat ed to advantage.

A catalog of the Uni- versity library will be placed in the library at Duke and a Duke University catalog will be brought to the library here The duplication of catalogs is expected to have several im portant uses. It will save time and expense in telephoning or writing in regard to inter-libra ry loans and will be useful to professors, students, and visit ing scholars who want to know what is available in each library. It will also aid the two libra ries in avoiding duplication of expensive and specialized ma terial and books. It will be used for such work as the completing of bibliographies. Libraries Cooperate The two libraries have been co-operating whenever 'possible and the full resources of each university have been made com pletely available to the faculty and students of the other. Hun dreds of volumes are borrowed back and forth annually through inter-library loans, exclusive of many volumes used and borrow ed by individuals The rapid growth of these two libraries in recent years has given them combined resources of nearly 700,000 volumes.

Situated on- Iy 12 miles apart, they together i i i 1 1 1 T constitute tne dook ceutex ux the south, a position which they jm i 1 r Ml 1 are fast strengthening.
