BOOKS LIKED AS WELL
AS EATS BY SOLDIERS

"Ill be hanged 1t this isn't civili-

veteran sergeant of the regular army,
upon his first visit to the American
Library Association Camp Library at
Camp Funston. Kansas He wandered
about looking at the book shelves and
the comfortable reading chairs. He
then walked over to the camp librari-
an and delivered his characteristic
comment.
To the Public Library at Newark,
, y, j., came a letter from soldier in
1 one of the New Jersey camps. He
had heard of the American Library
Association work. His station was too
small to have a camp library of its
own, so he wisely wrote to the nearest
public library: Cant you send US
something to read ?" he asked. I'VE
amt got no books. We are regulars
but we get just as lonesome as the ma
tional guards
A Christmas box was made up. 1t
contained books, foods and tobacco.
1t was directed to Private Smith and
his friends, Camp Blank"
Back came a letter of acknowledge
ment: Thank you fer the box. If

training camp, had an average daily
circulation of 400 volumes during its
first week. The demand for techni-

at the outset to be so great that Lloyd

compelled to place all volumes of this
kind on reference" shelves.
At the American Library Associa-

sailors from nearby came to take away

A REVOLUTION is taking place
~ in tennis. Not many people

Naturally. tennis players are anx-
1ous to know the secret of Johnston's
power and precision. 1t has not yet
been fully explained, although it is
comparatively simple when once it
has been stated. Briefly, it may be
said that Johnston gets his remark
able results because he is always in
truth, that is to say, at the time
of making his stroke his forearm
and mis- racket handle are in one and
the same straight line, or at least in
the same plane of force.
This is the whole secret Of the
strength and certainty of the modern
game. Ten OR fifteen years ago John

used by many Of the Can

main force of the impact,

This is the secret Of the

tennis, residence on rigidity. In other
words the blow practically falls on

There can be little doubt that this
forehand grip means a revelation and
a revolution. What can be done by
one who has full command Of it will
prove revelation to tennis players,
and then the revolution will be in
