$102,280 ASKED THIS YEAR

The contention that the basic support
of the public library is and has long

recommendation from the District Com
missioncrs to Congress for materially
increased appropriations for it's main
tenance. are features of the annual re-
port of Theodore W. Noyes, president
of the board of trustees of the public
library, as laid before the District Com
miss.oners today.
The report points out thai while the
librarys usefulness as measured by
book circulation has been wonderfully
expanded in recent years, its main
tenance, originally based upon an in
adequate foundation. has had but slow
and feeble growth until last years en-
couraging start in the right direction,
when an increase of $3.50 over the ap-
preparation of the previous year was
obtained. The appropriations asked

Necessity for Salary Increase.

I'm urging the necessity for radical
| increases in the salaries OF the pro-
fcssionai staff of the library. foremost
place should be given to our recon-
! mendation for the payment of an ade-
| quate salary to our highly efficient
chief librarian. DIR. Bowerman has
just completed twelve years Of service
here. during which time he has liter
ally transformed the library. He has
increased the quantity and quality Of
it's service manifold. In spite of the
handicap of meager salaries paid to his
professional staff, he has inspired his
assistants with his own earnestness,
zeal and spirit of high and disinterest-'
ed endeavor. Through DR.. Bowerman's s
efforts our local library has been made
to rank in the quality Of its service
with the foremost public libraries of
the country. DIR. Putnam. librarian of
Congress. whose opinion is recognized
as that of an expert, has given it as
his opinion that our library, under DR..
Bowerman's librarianship, has become
the most intelligently active for its
size and constituency that l know OF
within the entire country. DIR. Bower
mans standing as a chief librarian has
been recognized by his appointment for
several years as chairman of the COM
mittee on library administration Of the
American Library Association.
That there should be some increase
III the llDEiF1dN salary mas DeeT EeCOS-
niZed by the action Of the House COM
mittee on appropriations in recon-
mending two years ago and again last
year an increase from $4,000 to $4,000;
in both cases, however, this proposed
increase was lost by the raising of a.
point of order on the floor Of the House
For the coming year we earnestly rec
ommend that the long overdue increase
in the librarians salary be made, and
that full rather than a partial meas
ure of justice be done to him and to the
library by increasing his salary to the
figures urged by the library trustees
for so many years. We cannot afford
to s. DIR. Bowerman. Such an event is
no. t all unlikely unless we are able to
pay him more adequate salary.
Last years appropriations for the Ii
brary indicated an intelligent apprecia-
ton of some Of the library's vital needs
and sympathetic interest in it's welfare
But until the librarys entire working
force and its equipment are systemati-
caIly rendered adequate we must con-
tinue to emphasize before succeeding
Congresses the fact of Washington's
comparatively meager library outlay
and the special items in respect to
which this inadequacy is most conspicu-

the Saloniki front had inflicted heavy
losses on their opponents and prevent
ed them from transferring troops to
DobrudJa, thus rendering valuable as
slstance to Russia and Rumania.
The whole of the German East Af-
rican coast had been occupied, the

praise to Gen. SHUTS and the Belgian
troops which are cooperating with
him.
Activities in the West.
French and British had advanced dis
tance of seven miles on a front of
nine miles, but the most important
feature of the advance was that in no
case had d counter attack succeeded
in driving them back. The Germans
had virtually abandoned the attack on
Eerdua and their losses had been very
heavy. He gave the total number Of
prisoners taken by the allies on the
Somme front as 60,474. in addition to
which there had been captured 30i
guns and 1899 machine guns. Allied
aircraft, he added, had attained com
plete mastery of the Germans.
George j. Wardle, on behalf of the
labor party. declared that a great ma

stationary force. There has been almost
a 10 per cent increase in the library
work, and during the year more than
35 per cent of the underpaid force
have resigned.
The trustees acknowledge with
grateful and hearty appreciation the
action Of Congress at the last session
in making general increases in the
salaries Of the junior professional staff
Of the library, hitherto shockingly un-
derpaid, and in creating three new po-
sitions. Will not Congress apply this
year the same equitab BILE treatment to
the higher salaried members of the
library staff, who are correspondingIy
overworked and underpaid and who
are equally efficient and deserving?
There is the same need this year as
last year for the new positions and the
increases of salaries in old positions
which the trustees then urged and
which We're not granted.

How the Rich Man Changed His Mind When Tuberculosis Struck Home.

How the Rich Man Changed His Mind
 When Tuberculosis Struck Home.
 Anthony Schofeld lived in Missouri md had made his money in copper and zinc. He had worked hard from a boy n the drift up to the rank of foreman, then to superintendent and finally to owner Sickness never worried him. His six foot giant frame had stood many hard knocks and was good for many more. A year ago in answer to pretty girl who asked him to buy some seals to help the miners who had tuberculosis he replied gruffiy: Let 'em work and save. That's what did when I was young and I've never been sick and have got enough to keep me now"
 It was a different Schofeld who ap- preached the Red Cross Seal girl at one of the booths yesterday. In twelve months his daughter had been stolen away by the monster Tuberculosis and his son. just graduating from college, had been compelled to drop everything else in his search for health from this same disease. The doctor had said that he disease could be traced back proba- bly, to childhood, when his two children had been nursed by the consumptive daughter of consumptive miner. The rickety. disease breeding tenements in which the miner was compelled to live were owned by Schofeld now. 'I'd give my two eyes and both legs and lrms to have my daughter with me and my son restored to health," he
 onfided to the Red Cross Seal girl. T can't get away from the thought that my girl might be alive and my boy we'll if I'd given some attention to the prevention of this disease ten or fifteen ears ago. Now it's too late for that, but I'll keep somebody else's son and laughter safe. Here, give me all the ,eas you've got and then go and get all you can find and charge them all to me If money can make amends, which it can't, I'll do my share"
 As the astonished girl handed over 10 him her entire supply of 10000 seals md took his check in return she heard him mutter his daughters name and repeat, I'll do my share"

25,000Oo0 Holiday Stickers Already
 Distributed In United States.
 Few people have any conception of the magnitude of the Red Cross Christ mas Seal Campaign. Here are few figures that will show what a gigantic movement this is. Already 225,00OOOO seals have been printed and practically that entire number distributed to agents in every state and territory of he Union from Alaska Ill the North to he Canal Zone in the South and from Dorto Rico in the East to Hawaii in the West. Advertising circulars, posters,
 ards, etc., to the number of several
 million have also been distributed. Not ess than 100000 personal letters ask
 ng people to buy seals have been sent ut. It Is estimated that the army of workers, nearly all of whom are vol unteers, engaged in selling the seals lumbers we'll over 100000. The adver- rislng and publicity donated to the rampaign amount to several hundred
 housand dollars. Every effort is being put forth to sell 75,OOO,OO0 seals. or less than one for every man. woman and child in the United States This will mean $75O,O0O for the anti-tuberculosis campaign in the United States and all of the 1.200 anti-tuber- culosis associations of the country de- rive their support from Red Cross Seals.
