WILD WESTERN REFLECTION
ON CURRENT LITERATURE

Oregon has a very efficient state
library commission and the city Of
Salem is erecting a S50,000 public IL
braIy and has already a large prac-
teal working library. Like unto our
public schools, the state and city IL
brary are practical.
The Christian Science Monitor has
this on modern library work:
"The service which a live up-to-
date public library may render to a
community is conspicuously shown by
the one in Newark, N. ]. In the first
place this library issues periodical
called The Newarker, devoted to all
causes Of civic uplift and city plan
ming, with especial emphasis on such
aid as library can give Inasmuch
as the city is one Of the largest man
ufacturing centers Of the union, the
library is about completing a card
catalogue and index file of all infOr-
nation about the citys factories, what
they make, at what price and for what
markets This for the benefit of local
and foreign buyers. The library thus
becomes a nexus in local industry
Made in Newark hereafter will be a
phrase that can be given precise
meaning. This information will be
free to all applicants, in person, by
letter or by telephone.
Had there been no business branch
of this library already in successful
operation, there probably would have
been no such additional relation of
the library to the city's industrial well
fare. But a special branch library
some time ago conceived its function
to be that of servant of the makers
Of things as well as of the teachers
Of ideas and the preachers of ideals;
and the wholesome effect of the pol
icy is shown by the high percentage
Of use of the collections, by the
greater willingness of the community
TO provide generous support of the
library, and by the increasing solid
arity Of the city's Industrial forces of
capital as we'll as labor.
For the public library as for the
public school and college, the old
ideal Of passivity and of hospitality
only to those who seek has become
changed to one of positive campaign
ing In behalf of community welfare
and service of the state The ideal
public library of today is one that Is
formally related to every other civic
agency as a reservoir Of information
and inspiration"

Love versus Law" by Colette Yver,
@. p Putnam's Sons, New York, is a
delicious love story involving the
mental alterations that may occur
when husband and wife practice at a
profession. The woman lawyer is
nothing new in France, but her devel-
opment as mother and wife are very
interesting. This novel is Of the deep
est interest as a subtle study In psy-

That moving pictures can be success
fully taken from an aeroplane in rapid
motion has been demonstrated by the
roll Of film which was yesterday laid

one of the army aviators in training

shows Benning race track and other
features of the landscape in the neigh
borhood with great clearness.
With a little more experience in turn
ing the crank of the recording machine
so as to arrive at the proper speed
of rotation it is believed the aviators
can succeed in making a panorama of
the country over which they fly that
will be invaluable for military purposes.
An attempt is to be made TO sketch
the country while the machine is in
flight, and if this succeeds the COM
bination of the sketches with the photo
graphic rolls is expected to afford the
