 At Duino several successful night attacks were launched on the Ital- ans who were driven back over two miles. In their retreat the Austro- Hungarian gunners subjected them to q gruelling fire from the Duino bat teries and many hundreds were left lead in the hills.

LIBRARY OF THE STATE NOR
NAL SCHOOL

The Library of the Gunnison State
Normal School is one of the most val
uable assets not only of the school but
of the city and the surrounding coun-
try as well.
II contains about 5000 books and
several thousand pamphlets, not only
school books and text books but books
which contain the best stories, poetry,
music, art, biography, travel, and his
tory. In addition the library sub
scribes for and receives some hundred
or more magazines and newspapers.
Gunnison has no public library, but
thru the generosity and courtesy of
school library is used by the towns
people. 1t serves the club women. the
ministers, the business men, all of
the teachers, and the young people.
1t not only furnishes information in
any subject desired, but it also
provides recreational reading thru its
fiction and magazines. 1t is thus not
only solace and stimulus to the SER
ious workers but adds to the real use
fulness of the entire community.
The circle of the influence of the Ii
brary is far larger than that embrac-
ing the city of Gunnison. The ruling
motive of the Normal trustees is, the
greatest good and the greatest service
to the greatest numbers. In the con-
ventional phrase, they are particular
ly eager to do their bit, So the circle
of the library's influence has been
thrown out and around larger and
larger section of the state. Former
students, and others who have known
the school and its library, write in
daily for all sorts of information and
material. The books are gladly sent
to them for two weeks or month.
Again the library is continuation
school for the working boy or girl who
desires to take one or more Normal
courses while doing his or her work
somewhere in the state. There are
now some 125 students doing exten-
sion work and using the Normal Ii
brary's books to help them do it.
The Gunnison Normal School Ii
brary is one of the chief means by which
the school comes in contact with the
world outside of its schoolrooms. Its
scope of usefulness is limited by its
own limitations. When it has yet
larger equipment it will reach out to
q yet larger number of people in the
city, the county, and the state.

FOR THE BOYS ''OVERTHERE'
c. S. n. S. News Letter:

In the effort to provide, under the
|, auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A., relaNa-
ton and comfort for soldiers in train
ing, soldiers in active service, soldiers
in prison, students have been given a
definite share. A million dollars for
these and kindred purposes have been
asked by the Y. NJ. c. A. and Y. W.
c. A. of America from the students
and faculties of higher institutions,
the fund to be known as the Students
Friendship War Fund. At the Colo
rado State Normal School, as every
where, the appeal met loyal and joy
full response.
The matter was presented at spec
ial chapel service on November four
teenth by Mr.. Ben Baltzer, Y. NJ. c.
A. secretary, and Miss Elspeth Rattle,
woman state executive for the fund.
In a straightforward manner Mr..
Baltzer presented the needs of the
soldier, while Miss Rattle told of wo-
mems share in the work of relief, at
home and abroad, especially of the
need of providing, at the training
camps, hostess houses, where mothers,
wives, and sweethearts may meet the
men of the camp under comfortable
ana Sale CONDITIONS
The local committee, consisting of
the presidents of the five literary So
cieties, with Ralph Walker of the
Methodist church, Myrtle Johnson of
the Presbyterian, and Nellie Beatty
of the Catholic, had voted at their
preliminary meeting to set thousand
dollars as the schools pledge. At the
close of the speeches this committee
gave out cards and in few minutes
had received pledges to the amount
of five hundred seventy-three dollars.
Now the fund has passed the eight
hundred mark, with contributions still
added daily. New dresses, Christmas
trips home, and extra Saturday jobs
have gone into the fund. Pupils in the
training school have contributed nick
els, dimes, and quarters. Almost ev-
cry person connected with the school
has pledged or still intends to pledge.
The Athenian literary society has
voted to give the proceeds of its open
meeting. The committee believe that
the thousand dollar goal will be
reached; and the best part of the
matter is that the general spirit seems
to be that expressed by the girl who
said, 81 have been happy ever since
| heard of it-happy to have chance
at work so much worth while"
The same spirit of desire for pa
triotic service has found expression
in the work of the Students Red Cross
Society, which makes hospital sup
plies every Saturday afternoon, in
knitting done by students, in the max
ing over of old garments for Belgian
and other relief by the Home Econo-
mics Club, in the purchase Of Liberty

NAVY'S PRESENT NEED Is
FOR MORE FIREMEN

For some time past the Central Ma
Wy Recruiting Office for the states Of
Denver, has been permitted to enlist
only comparatively small number Of
men each month. A recent telegram
from the Navy Department at WASH
ington has instructed Navy Recruit
ing Officers to start in Immediately
to make as many enlistments as pos
sible in all authorized branches of the
Naval Service.
Men between twenty-one and thir-
ty-five, who are physically strong. are
especially needed at the present time,
to enlist as firemen. Men for enlist
ment in this rating are not required
to have previous experience in firing.
These men are needed immediately to
man our transports that Will carry our
troops to Europe. The Navy needs
seven thousand men for this branch
and Recruiting Officers have received
instructions to enlist this number by
December 18th. The quota of men re-
quired from Colorado and Wyoming
by December 18th is three hundred
men.
If we fail to enlist those men We
Will fail to transport our troops to
the wdr zone and so will fail to win
the war. This need of firemen for the
Navy is the country's most pressing
need at the present time, and those
