Hardly a day passes but the Red
Cross war relief fund is increased by a
generoua contribution Of some one Of
the government departments. These.
with the accumulation Of small amounts
from employees of department stores and
other business houses. are the chief
means by which the fund is being stead

The Day in Local Stocks.

The closing session of the week on
the Washington Stock Exchange was
not prolific in business nor was there
much radical change in values. other
than a weakening of Railway 4s and a
drop of nearly a point on Washington
Gas Is.
The tendency of bonds seems to be
toward a lower range. whether due to
the Intangible property tax or to the
general weakness in this class OF Sc
curities, through the larger employ
ment Of funds elsewhere and the in
creased speculation in other lines. Is
not evident.
washington Gas 6s sold at 101. Per-
haps the fact that block Of these
bonds is expected to come on the mar
ket soon, il the utilities commission
approves the bids received by the
corporation. may have depressed the
price of the issue.
Railway As were just fraction cas-
ier selling at 1871.
Capital Traction IS were stronger at
1875.
Transactions in stocks were again
confined to a few odd lots at 70 for
Washington Gas, 81 for Capital Trac-
ton and 1914 for Railway preferred.
Sales for the week ended today were
1000 bonds, par value, and 20S shares
Of stock.

Can Call Trained Men.

Raymond b. F'osdick, chairman of the
commission on training camp activities,
in a recent letter to DIR. Herbert Putnam
librarian OF Congress and chairman of
the associations preliminary committee to
make plans for this service, wrote as fol-
lows:
Because your organization can call to
its service the trained abilities of all the
librarians Of the United States it seems
natural to ask you to administer this prob
lem for the government We approach you
with more assurance of your attitude,
perhaps, than we would otherwise be
justified in feeling. because of your evil
dent willingness to undertake this task, as
expressed in the resolutions adopted by
your organization in Louisville last week
Briefly. we have in mind the erection
in each camp of suitably equipped CEN
trail library which will be under your man
agement and direction. The funds for the
erection and equipment of these buildings
will have to be provided from private
sources, and 1 trust that your organiza-
ton will be successful in obtaining ample
financial support"
The American Library Association, in
carrying out its plans, will endeavor to
supply thoroughly modern public library
facilities for all soldiers in training. This
service will be furnished through sepa-
rate library buildings in all the principal
camps and environments, and by the utili-
cation Of Y. M. c. A.. knights Of Colum-
bus and other similar buildings as
branch distributing agencies in the larger
camps and as the only or principal
distribution points in the smaller camps.
To carry out it's plans the associa-
ton will need to secure funds for the
erection of thirty-two library buildings
at cost that may reach $4,000. and
for the purchase Of the necessary books
.or stocking these libraries with II, 900
volumes each at possible cost OF
100000. In addition funds will be
needed for incidental expenses, to meet
which the association solicits funds
either as single gifts or ON the monthly
payment basis. Subscriptions NAV be
sent to Frank p. Hill. chairman, com
mittee on finance. 26 Brevoort place
Brooklyn, N. Y. The association will
shortly issue an appeal for gifts Of

WILL SUPPLY READING
MATTER FOR SOLDIERS
Nation Wide Effort by Librarians
Started-Dr. G.. F. Bowerman
in Charge Here.

The soldiers need for reading matter
Is to be met. Nation wide effort is max
ing in this direction and the Washing
ton Public Library is bearing its share
OF the work. Its librarian. DIR. George
F. Bowerman. has already interested
many Washingtonians in the enterprise
and has received as gifts several thou
sand books and magazines. These have
been sent to the Fort Myer training
camp for distribution through the
agency of the Y. M. C. A.. and some of
these publications have been forwarded
for use OF men at Fort Washington. The
American University is setting up a
building in the engineers camp for the
Y. M. c. A. and the librarian of the
Washington Public Library desires to
place books there for the comfort of
the men. Several churches in the neigh
borhood Of that camp are keeping open
their doors for the men and books and
have also been sent there.
The big need for reading matter will
come when the great military city at
Junction comes into being.
The American Library Association has
been asked by the commission on train
ing camp activities, under the War De-
partment, to furnish public library
facilities to the thirty-two environments
and National Guard training camps to
be opened by the War Department
about September /. and the association
has undertaken to render the desired
service.

.HARBOR BOARD INSISTS
ON PERMANENT REPAIRS

The harbor board at its meeting yes.
.tcrday reiterated its previous stand
that where extensive repairs to any
of the Honolulu wharves are necessary,
the work shall be done permanently,
and where possible, in concrete. n.rt
The matter came up in connection
with the discussion Of repair work
needed on Pier 7. A report had been
filed stating that about $500 feet of
the flooring needed relaxing. The board
decided that only absolutely essential
repairs should be made now, and that
the rest of the work should wait until
after the new appropriations by the
next legislature go into effect, when
concrete flooring should be lsid. 49,.
The attention of the board was call.
ed to the construction by Honolulu
plantation Of trestle at Pearl Harbor
for the plantation 8 molasses line. The
commissioners held that the plantation
had no right to do the work without
permit from the board. The secretary
wns instructed to write to the planta-
ton, telling it to file an application
to do the work. which is already practi-
cally completed.

an Increase of about twenty per cent ia
pay to the lowest paid laborers, max.
ing the minimum wage twelve Instead
of ben cents an hour, Minor in

The new wage scale went into effect
January |. The board went on record
as recognizing the obligation of the
government to pay its men a wage suf
ncient to maintain them in reasonable
comfort and decency, and stated that
the higher standard to which the West
Indians had become accustomed was a
reason for maintaining improved con
ditions.
The desirability of housing the EN-.

and Acting Governor Harding has
recommended an additional appropria,
ton to take care of this This feature
has military aspects, as during the re.

WASHINGTON IS To
INVESTIGATE BUNKER
COAuNC QUESTION

An investigation Of South American
markets for coal will be undertaken at
once by the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce of the department of
commerce. 1t is held that South Amer.
lea is the most logical market in the
world for American coal, and that a
thriving business in that commodity
will be an important factor in building
up a merchant marine, says an official
announcement received yesterday. .;
British economists are agreed that
much of England success in merchant
shipping is due to the fact that Welsh
coal has always been available for re.
turn cargoes. The need of such a re.
turn cargo has often been felt in our
South American trade.
Latin America is a promising market
for coal, because it has very limited
supplies Of its own. Chile, Peru and
Bolivia in particular need coal, and
have an abundance Of minerals to ship
in return. Nitrates and iron, copper
and tin ore can be brought to this eoun-
try more cheaply if full cargoes of coal
can be taken back on the return voy.
age.
The investigation will be undertaken
by Special Agent Grosrrnor NJ. Jones,
who has written several important re.
ports for the bureau on shipping prob.
lens. Mr.. Jones has been engaged for
some time on preliminary work, and
will start for South America about the
middle of January.
