WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The Amer
lean Library Association has begun a
campaign to raise 100000 to be used
in erecting libraries at the thirty-two
army environments and in supplying the
men in camp with books and maya,
zines. Later plans will be expanded
TO supply reading matter to al soldiers
and sailors both at home and in the
foreign service.

borrowed $4,000 for five years at
low rate of interest, giving the
land as security. Planting and care
for the first season will cost him $75

offer of $500 an acre.
Yes, the war is far off.

War Seems Far
From San Joaquin

War does indeed seem far away
from the San Joaquin valley. Viewed
across continent and an ocean from
a soft berth in this valley of agri-
cultural riches, the agency that has
brought prosperity does not seem
like a confagration that is destroy
ing the world. Fires are not an I'M
mixed curse for the manufacture Of
fire negines.
Yet even here the boys 90 cheer
fully to take their physical exami-
nations for the draft. Few are ask
ing exemptions.
But whether in sorrow or in joy

free California has done nobly this
year for the national and inter-na-
tional larder. Apricots and peaches,
grapes and raisins, olives and prunes
may not perhaps be counted neces-
saries of life, but the fighting world
has not yet got to the point where
it feels that it can do without them.
1t still insists on spice for more solid
food.
So this year orchard and vine
yard have been cared for as never
before and from now until December
and in some cases all through the
winter the great packing houses will

II is the evening Of hot day. Down
on the plaza in front Of the City Hall

Then there toddles into view baby
of. probably. three years. Behind him

another baby in her arms. They have
wandered over to the plaza from
Cherry Street or Mulberry Street in
search of an open space and breeze.
As the three-year-old joys ahead, he
progresses with a peculiar waddlng
gait that makes you wonder you
see that he Is terribly bow-legged.
They wander on across the plaza and
down the two or three steps on the
Broadway side of the City Hall. little
bow-legs falling prone at the last step.
Just as his mother drags him 20 his
feet again on the near side OF the

One cannot help feeling as he gazes
on the pictures which are presented at
the Strand this week that war is the
most wonderful game IN the world
Not to be pitied are those heroes, or
those fortunates, rather, who can kno"
the thrill of victory. Not to the
strong is the battle, not TO the swift is
the race, but to the wary, the strategic
ones who know best how to move the
pieces on that vast board. .
The picture is called "The Retreat OF
the Germans at the Battle of Arras,"
and the whole atmosphere OF the pres
ontation is joyous, victorious and
courageous. The men go laughing and
singing TO man the great guns; they
pat with pride and affection the huge
war tanks. Even the wounded who re
turned from that great battle smiled
and lifted themselves from their litters
seemingly to wave victorious hand to
the audience.
The picture is presented in two in
stalments, the second of which VIII
be shown next week.
The feature picture is "The Mystic
rious Miss Terry" with Billie Burke
Burke, she is equipped with vehicle
which is sufficiently interesting TO di-
vert the mind from the war pictures,
which is a roundabout way OF saying
that "The Mysterious Miss Terry" IS
very good picture indeed.

happened on the plaza at about 8
o'clock one evening not long ago. IL
was the exemplifcation OF human
tragedy. The action occupied not more
than ten minutes.
Did you ever notice-did you ever
have a chance to notice-how many
babies there are in the tenements who
have badly bowed legs? The percent
age is not so high as might seem to be
indicated by the little drama enacted
in front of the City Hall, but the num-
Der is, nevertheless, astounding.
Years ago there was tradition that
bowleggedness among children resulted
from letting heavy babies stand on
their feet before their legs were strong
enough to bear the weight Of their
bodies. But that theory was exploded
long ago. The weight of the bodies Of
the trio of little bowlegs would never
have been too great a load for their
legs. The children were not built along
those lines.
Children Lack Nourishment
Il was lack Of nourishment that
bowed the legs Of the first three young
sters who crossed the plaza, and prob
ably the same thing that made to drag
the feet of the fourth. 1t is lack OF
nourishment that makes bowlegged
children a shockingly common sight in
the tenement districts Of the city. This
year the children Of the tenements are
getting less nourishment than their
usual insufficient ration. The high cost
of food is enough indication of that.
What worse plague than that of bow
leggedness will come upon them as this
result Of this situation remains to be
seen.
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund is try
ing TO rescue these children Of poverty
from undernourishment and the evils
that grow out OF it and send them TO
the country, where they will be given
all they can eat for a fortnight. In the
country places 20 which the fund sends
them they will get many other things
that will strengthen and straighten
their bodies and their minds. Will you
help the fund to succor such little tots

FRESNO, Cal, Aug. 1.-THE
dingy old freight car was shunted
by a grimy locomotive down an
avenue of palms and oleanders along
side a villa-like packing house. One
felt the contrast and wished that
alien freight cars coming to Cali
fornia might be of bungalow design.
II was at Selma, "the home Of the
peach, and the canning season was
just beginning.
Great farm wagons loaded many
tiers deep with luscious peaches were
driving up in front. Into the great
warehouse at the back was pouring
a constant stream Of filled and gayly
labelled cans. In the middle region
was a great orderly medley of some
five hundred women and men and a
maze Of machinery. All were cloth
ed in neat, white uniforms with
natty caps.
Outside the sun was hot, the wind
struck you with volleys Of heat
waves, the mercury was near a hun
dred, but there was no nodding or
dawdling inside. The hotter it got
the faster the white-gowned women
worked. What does a little dry heat
amount to when rapidity and eff
fciency may put three or four golden
eagles into the pay envelope at the
end of the week? The world clamors
for food and will pay the price.
This single factory is capable of
putting out 100000 cans of fruit
in the short season, and the greater
the volume of the product the greater
the pay. So the workers, careless
alike of the growing rancher, who
is delivering s45-ton peaches on a
ten-year contract at $25, and Of the
woes of Europe, fall merrily to their
work in this land of palm and eu-
calyptus.
"We should worry" they say.
And the Sammies in France who
will soon be eating these canned
peaches will probably be saying the
same.
So why scold rich, prosperous,
money-making land because it is not
weeping and wailing over war that
so far means to it gold instead of
blood-luxury instead of hardship?

was the cause of the disaster, which oc-
Cured just below the Cantilever bridge
and sixty feet below the point where
the smooth water of the upper reaches
of the Niagara river break into the tur-
bulent waters of the whirlpool rapids.
The car was in charge of Motorman
Louis E. Crandall and Conductor Alex
Ander Heron. It had all but completed
the circuit of the gorge, having crossed
from the Canadian side Of the river on
the trolley bridge at Lewiston. There
were more than fifty passengers on
board. according to general estimate
The car was one Of the open type. the
seats extending from side to side, with
steps on both sides the full length OF
the car. All the seats were occupied
and some of the passengers were stand

ers on the rear platform.
The car was running at speed OF
about twenty miles an hour when 1t
struck the weak spot in the roadbed.
Less than half a minute elapsed from
the time. the motorman felt the hrst
Earring sway until the car was bottom
side up on the edge of the rushing rap
ids.
AS 1t slipped down the twenty-foot in
scline fro mthe tracks to the edge of the
lriver screaming men and women fought
to escape and some of them were able
toget free. but were unable to obtain
footing on the steep bank. There was
a mad scramble in the shallow water
between the wrecked car and the river
bank. From the river side the bodies
of at least two of the passengers were
and were carried down to the whirlpool.
Guardsmen to the Rescue.
Members of a National Guard regi-
rnent who were on guard at tho bridge
saw the accident and were the first to
tie rescue. The soldiers slid down the
bank into the river and worked in
water up to their waists getting In
