If a speaker at the recent American Hbra-
rians' conference at Boston told her story
correctly, Pittsburg boy fifteen years old
gave the librarians something to think
about when he said: 81 like Conan Doyle,
but he comes high. You can get a lot of
this for a nickeT'-"this" being a second
hand copy of Jesse James. But Conan
Doyle can be had at the public libraries for
less than a nickel. so that the boys ex-
pressed preference for the subtle detective
story of the English author over the tenn
peStuous biography of the American bandit
and his regretful inability to crafty his
taste on account of the forbidding expense
are perhaps not quite frank There is, in
deed, more than suspicion that a boy fif-
teen years old-in the bandit age himself, so
to Speak-would rate the Life and AdYen-
lures Of Jesse James as superior to the
ratiocinations of Sherlock Holmes. Proba-
bly, and boy who buys secondhand robber
romances at D cents a copy buys because he
likes them, so that the Responsiveness OF
his investment is not so much cause Of
his purchase as 1t is qualification at pro-
curing bargain. If the library would give
him Jesse James on the same easy terms
that 1t proffers to him Conan Doyle then
the librarians who mourn his interpretation
of the library would not lack his patronage.
Possibly the trouble with librarians who
are striving with the problem of the boy
and his reading is that they do not compre-
hend the boy. Jesse James does not appeal
to him because he is depraved, but, to
adopt his own phrase, because the robber
keeps things moving. He wants no in
volved analyses of thought and action-the
time of his mental development for that has
not come yet-but he does want book in
which something happens. We take 1t that
this is the reason why so many books which
librarians are wedding out" as they call
the process, are popular with the boys.
Oliver Optic, for example. has come under
the ban of the new school of censors almost
as emphatically as Jesse James; and yet his
stories appeal to boys for reason that Is
very clear-something is always doing in
them. OF course. Jesse James is not TO be
thought of in the public library, and 1t may
be that Oliver Optic should go-but the boy
has got to have book with action in 1t, IL
you want to keep him from buying second
hand robber stories for a nickel.

The coal famine is, of necessity, bring
ing about a marked change in the deta-
ries Of even comparatively well-to-do peo-
pie. There is increasing demand for
ready cooked food, and the baker and deli
catessen proprietor report a marked in
crease in custom. Now is the time that a
public kitchen, where the confessedly poor
or those on the borderland trying to econo-
mize on food for the sake of decent living
surroundings could buy wholesome and nu-
tritive cooked food at small cost ought to
succeed. Several attempts have been made
in this country from time to time to estab-
lish such kitchens. but they have never
paid. Even the New England kitchen in
Boston, where delicious pea soup beef ST. w
pressed beef, cooked ham, bread rolls,
gingerbread and the like are sold at just
a trifie over the cost of the raw materials
has never paid back the capital invested
In it at the start. There are well-patron-
lied public kitchens in Holland, Sweden
Norway Russia and various cities in Italy,
but heretofore the American artisan has
shown deep-rooted objection to judscious-
ly econonliz.ng en- food. He will eat bakers
stuff and drink unlimited tea, but nourish-
ing soups stews and chowders have failed
to meet with his approval With coal now
at 30 cents scuttle the time seems ripe
once more for the establishment of public
kitchens.
Meanwhile the demand among housekeep-
ers of all classes is for something that may
be prepared with a minimum expenditure Of
fuel.
While chops and steaks are too expensive
