A splendid opportunity will be of
fered the people OF this city during
the coming week of helping the
United States hospital at Westhamp-
ton in the former college buildings.
The former Westhampton college
women have undertaken the estao-
fishing of a library in the West
hampton college building for the use
of the recuperating soldiers and. as
there will be many soldiers, there
must be many books and magazines
to entertain them. The books the
former students of the colleges are
giving will help but are only drop
in the lake in comparison with the
numbers OF books and magazines
needed. Some wounded men have al
ready been brought to the hospital,
so the work must be rushed so that
the library may be ready for use in
a few days.
Thursday and Friday OF this week
have been set aside as book day

really want to help are requested ny

books of travel, fiction. adventure,
biography. poetry and technical and
reference books to one of the stations

ed, but only magazines in the best
condition. Magazine subscriptions
will be most heartily welcomed. A
m ember of the library committee Will
