in her engine room because of plug
ged pump strainers. A few hours
later her steam steering gear carried
away and she lay to. A little after
that she found that her seams had
opened and let sea water into her
fresh water tanks. And about this
time the sea valve in her Nicholson
log opened and a landsman in her

steam off their winches and handled
all their tow lines by hand on cap

Camp Library Problem.

MORE women are needed as camp
AVA librarians, but there are obsta-
cles in the way of their employ
ment, according to DIR. Herbert Put
nam. librarian of the Library of Con-
gress, and in charge of library work
of the American Library Association
since the war. The increase of women
as Librarians in the camp libraries of
the country would be desirable, but
the lack of overnight accommodations
for women in the camps makes it i'm
practicable. The greatest rush on the
resources of the camp library comes
in the evening, after the woman as
sistants have gone back to town.
Camp Upton, on Long Island, is to
have Junior League house, which
will accommodate two woman librari-
ans, who will assist in the canton
ment's library. In Oregon Miss Cor
nelia Marvin and Miss Mary Isom
have been put in charge of library
work at special military posts, such
as Vancouver Barracks, where they
directly administer library service.
Everywhere throughout the country
local town librarians are cooperating
to the greatest extent with the library
cantonment nearest them.
Camp kearney has the largest cir
culation of books to the soldiers of
any in the country.
