heavy demand for books on mill

subjects.
In nine months, after a most
humble beginning. the library war

More than four million books

Nation of the Steamboat.

Edward HungerfOrm, writing of the
evolution of the steamboat I'm the Ma
tional Marine. opens his argument
with the following paragraph:
"The United States has been and
still remains the nation of the steam
boat. She was the first nation to sue
cessfully apply steam propulsion to
boats, and even though England shot
ahead of us in her development of the
steam vessel upon the salt seas-while
we still chung rather proudly to our
Wanted clipper ships-we had a great
pride in the steamboats,. big and little,
which piled upon our inland waters.
And the affection that the steamboat
gained in the hearts of Americans
more than a century, 1t has never lost"

The conversations heard in the sub

places were of but one topic, the raid.
1t was with stern visages that they
greeted one another. If the Germans
had hoped to weaken the morale of
the civilian population they made a
mistake, as eXecrations and demands

There was no whimpering, no talk

"How can we make peace with such
people as that" said a gentle old
woman in mourning The women were
very brave.
To one accustomed to the air raids
by Entente aviators on cities in Bel
gium and in the occupied territory of
France, the firing of the French anti
aircraft guns against the enemy ma
chimes appeared feeble in comparison
with the formidable bombardment with
which the Germans greet the Entente
machines.
This was explained to the Associ-
ated Press by French officer as due
to the fact that it is dangerous to fire
shrapnel and shells into the sky over
a city of the size of Paris, as the
casualties from the falling of the very
shells destined for the enemy might
be larger than the damage done by
their own bombs.
"Of course" said the officer "the
Germans need have no such scruple.
They care little how many French and
Belgian civilians they kill"

sented an appearance which under less

Measures of Reprisal.

Paris, Jan. 81 (By malD-Paris
awoke this morning, or rather arose
from sleepless beds, with a oi.udder
of horror that gradually became a
feeling Of rage and a cry for ven-
geance and reprisals as the eEagger-
ated stories Of the casua!tie, a..eiiG-
ing the German al raid were circu-
lated.
In spite of the fact that the visit
Of the raiders had been elected anG
that friends left one another on these
bright moonlight night with the part
ing, Shall we be 'Gotha-ed' tonight ?
the general alarm of the impending
air raid first came as a distinct shock,
hut the innate curiosity of the Pa
risian promptly got the better of his
prudence, and it was not long before
there were heads protruding from
i-early every window and the people
began swarming into the streets.
1t has now been definitely ascer-
tanned that the correct number of cas-
ualties is 80 killed and 100 wounded.
-Four German squadrOns crossed the
French lines, 81 machines in all. and
Its is asserted in German communiques 5
that 10000 pounds Of explosives were
rained over the city and its suburbs.
The amount Of material damage ap-
pears to be rather small as compared
with the magnitude Of the German en-
deayor.
IL was 20 minutes past II when the
first alarm was sounded and immedi-
ately the distant rumbling of the heavy
anti-alrcraft guns could be heard in
the distance to the north. Gradually
II grew nearer and nearer and mean
while the buzz Of the motors of the
! French airplanes, as, one after the
Ctker, they rose to meet the oncoming
Geimans in battle and circled over the
city, now and then flashing their
lights, became louder and louder. 1t
gave the Parislans a feeling Of secur-
ity and pride.

tion,' said one man in a window. 81

Then suddenly deeper detonations
were heard-holIow, muffled roars-
and one knew that somewhere in the
city children and women were being

For two long interminable hours
they kept at it and then the reports
became fainter and fainter and died
out altogether.

Advocate Fish Meal as a
Substitute for Tankaue

To stimulate greater interest in
the productiesf of fish meal, which is
a good substitute for tankage in the
feeding of hogs. E. z. Russell, in
charge of swine Investigations for
the United States Department of
Agriculture, recently visited a num-
Der of fisheries along the gulf coast
as we'll as number of marketing
centers in the south. Tests con-
Quoted by the department show that
fish meal is equal in feeding value to
tankage. It contains about 81 per
cent protein. 1t is made by drying
non-edible fish and grinding fine.
This meal is being used at the gov
eminent farm at Beltsville, Nd, to
replace tankage. The Menhaden
fisheries on the Atlantic coast can
produce, annually 10000 tons of fish
meal. Fisheries along the Gulf
states and Mississippi river have
been wasting or manufacturing as
fertilizer large quantities of non~ed-
IDLE fish. Mr.. Russell's visit to the
Gulf states was to investigate the
feasibility and to urge the fisheries
to manufacture these non-edible fish
into fish meal for swine feeding.
