mated heretofore have been mostly
fiction SO the association is depend
ing upon these gifts to make up the
lighter part of the War library. Good
novels, Western stories, adventure,
biography and travel, these are books
wanted. They must be in good con-
| dition, no torn or missing leaves or

regular hours when it is open and
they will be forwarded.
