Euening Chat
On Using Books.
By RUTH CAMERON.

A~~>>>.<ss
Not long ago dropped in to call
on a friend Of mine, a widow who IL
about to build some apartment houses
with her husbands insurance money.
As she rose to greet me she laid
dqwna big book. I commented upon
the size of 1t and she laughed and
showed it to me. Much to my sur
prise, 1t was a book on plumbing.
NO, I'm not learning to be a plumb
err she said. but think can over
see the plumbing Of these houses bet
ter If I just learn enough about the
whole thing to know what the plumb
ers and architects are talking about.
1 got this book out OF the library, and
I've sent for a lot of catalogues 80 rs
to get comparative prices I think I
can learn from them all enough to
know what I want. and what it's
worth to me-"
Now, don't. you admire that wo-
maps common sense? most GER
tainly do. For she has the rare intel
ligence to make use OF the great mine
of power which is open and accessible
to all of us. and yet which few of us
take the trouble to use. I refer to the
vast quantity of cheap and valuable
information on almost any subject
which books of various sorts contain.
The habit of correlating the infor-
nation in books with practical affairs
is something very few people seem to
have. Yet. IL We will. only learn to
look for it, we can find almost any
sort Of practical information In books,
and in accessible books, too.
For instance, relative of mine,
after vafnly trying to get rid OF that
irritating form of household pest
euphoniously known as crimson
ramblers," took out her encyclopedias
and read all about the habits Of the
creatures. Then. having found out
that they liked high roosts, she inves-
tigated her moulding, discovered the
seat of the trouble and won out.
Government bulletins are another
source of practical Information which
people do not fully appreciate. There
are government bulletins on every
subject even remotely connected with
agriculture, and great many upon
household affairs. If you want to
know anything along these lines.
write to the department of agricul-
ture at Washington, and you will re-
ceive, free of charge, q bulletin that
probably represents thousands of dol
lars worth Of investigation.
Almost any town of any size has q
| free library. The librarians business
| is to give out books and also to help
in reference work. Again and again.
refer my correspondents to their To-
cal librarian, who can show them
how to find the Information they want
far better than I.
If Solomon were living today he
| would certainly say even more en-
phatically than ever. "Of making
| many books there Is no end" But
what would he, in his wisdom, think
| if he saw how few people know how
| to use this plenitude?
