LIBRARY REPORTS
WORK FOR The YEAR

Arthur l.. Bailey, librarian of the
Wilmington Institute Free Library. at
the meeting of the board of managers
of the library last night submitted
his annual report, showing that during
the summer of 1914 City Council had
agreed 10 appropriate per cent. an
nualiy to any sum of money raised for
building purposes, the total amount
to be raised not to exceed 100000
On March /. 1914, the library had
on its shelves 79,237 volumes. Dur
ing the year, for various reasons, 992
volumes we're withdrawn. making a
net increase of 1,031, and the total
number of volumes in the library on
the 2Sth OF February was S0,26S. The
library was enabled to spend a larger
amount for books than the preceding
year, with the result that juvenile
schools, fiction and reference collec-
tions were greatly strengthened.
The number of borrowers registered
at the library at the end of the year
was 16,400. an increase OF $50 during
the year. This is the largest net reg
istration in the history of the library,
as well as being the largest increase
that the library has eyer had.
The number of books issued for
home use was 262,004, an increase OF
1896 This is the largest circula-
tion of books that the library has ever
had. Practically all classes of books
shared in the increase.
The report from the juvenile de-
partment showed that at the request
of the superintendent of schools a
graded list of reading was prepared
based on the books now in the school
libraries. It is proposed to bring
about a closer cooperation between
the schools and the library. To the
teachers there has been sent occasion
ally a bulletin containing facts of
interest about the books and pictures
in the library.
The report stated that renovation
of the old building on Vandever ave
nue., which is TO be used as a branch
library, had progressed and that many
books were already prepared for the
shelves when it is possible TO open
the branch
A collection OF books was placed in
the welfare department OF the du-
Pont Company, and a small collection
was placed in the Y. W. c, A. rooms
on King street.
The increase in the circulation OF
the library was more than equaled by
the increase in the work in the refer
ence department. Statistics of use in
the reference department are exceed
ingly hard to keep but a record kept
OF the telephone calls showed that
during the latter part of the year they
had increased over 200 per cent
Questions on all conceivable kinds oi
subjects are asked at the library, and
il is a matter of record that at least
nine out of every ten questions are
answered satisfactorily.
During the year the library re.
ceived as gifts 472 volumes and nearly
1000 periodicals. pamphlets, leaflets
etc.

PUGH'S DISTURBER Y.
TURNS OYER IN LAKE
High Power Motor Boat
Swcryes TO Avoid Accident
in Speed Trial at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-CommodOre James
A. pugh's new Disturber v, perhaps the
most powerful motor craft ever launched
on Lake Michigan, and built at u cost of
$4,000, turned turtle this afternoon in
the lake of Monroe street. The operator
of the boat. Ned simmons. who designed
1t, was uninjured.
The accident occurred during what
was to have been a high speed trial spin,
although the initial voyage OF the craft
took place yesterday. II was running
forty miles am hour at the time.
pisturber v. had been remarked by
lake sean"n and racing enthusiasts as
ono OF the ugliest crafts ever launched,
but much was expected of II because
its ugliness was caused by a CoustruC-
tion permitting of enormous engine
capacity. The Disturher V. was running
north inside the hrrakwater and turned
suddenly to avoid "A rowboat. The sud
denness of the lurch turned the speedy
craft over.
Dlsturber V. was the fifth Of "A sue
Ccssion of boats quilt by Commodore
pugh, the first three being displacement
boats twenty feet long, the fourth "A
forty foot hy~drOplane and the DLsturbcr
v, a twenty foot h~ydroplanc.
The latest boat has a battery Of two
engines. with about 500 h~orse-power.
She was designed to run at a speed OF
between sixty and seventy miles an
hour and only recently was put into
the water for trials in preparation for
the national and world championship
power boat races TO be held here next
month.
