the plates instead Of being riveted

READERS AND BOOKS

The war has made the library
"browser" nearly extinct. The leis-
urely reader who wanders into the
public library to spend an hour
reading at random, picking up new
books or idling at the fiction shelves
d quite overshadowed by readers Of
another type. 1855
Today people know, exactly what
they want, and they usually want It
in the shortest possible time. As a
rule they are reading for informa-
ton rather than for simple delight.
This, OF course, means that certain
kinds of books are In greater de-
mand than others. The current war
books are quite generally read. The
history Of other wars has renewed
interest for readers, and especially
wars consciously fought for liberty.
There is, too. a growing interest in
constitutional history.
People today want to know the
development Of governmental forms,
Of great political and moral move
ments. They are therefore reading
the declarations OF great statesmen,
famous speeches and documents that
have marked the political progress
of free peoples.
The history Of industry and econ
omies attracts more attention thar
ever before. Along with this, scien-
tific books are in great demand. Avi
alton, submarine development, elec
tricity. military tactics, the useful
arts and many other subjects for.
merly left to the specialist or student
are now commonly called for by or
dinary readers.
Fiction is still read, OF course, al
though there has been noticeable
falling off in the demand for 1t.
All this the librarians consider {
fine thing. II indicates a tendency
to more thoughtful reading and in.
dependent thinking, and less indul
gence in idle reading on the part oi
the public. The browser to whom
reading was delightful pastime
now shares the books with a host
Of wide-awake, thinking people
eager to understand themselves,
their government and the world bet
ter.

oNE-prEcE STEEL SHIPS

Once more, here is something new
in shipbuilding. We have become
accustomed to the miracle Of mono
lithic" ships, since concrete came in
to use as substitute for wood and
steel. Now we have what might be
called, after the same highbrow
word patterns, a "monochalybic"
ship-in plain English, vesser con-
sisting of a single plate OF steel.
