 "Camp Library Service has been established for just one purpose" said Burton F.. Stevenson, at Camp Sherman recently "that is to help win the war, and there are three ways in which it can help; first, by helping to maintain the morale of the men by providing them with inter esting and entertaining reading mat ter; second by helping to educate them as 10 the causes and purposes of the war, and make them realize that they are not fighting Frances fight, England's fight, or Italy's fight, but 4Amcrica's fight--that Germany is seeking to destroy the ideals and principles which form the very foun- dation stones of this republic; and third, by providing the men with special technical books along their several lines and so making them better and more efficent soldiers"

LABOR'S THRIFT STAMP PUSH
John F. Quinn Opens Vigorous Cans~ paign in Union Circles-Gilpatri in New Haven Today.

Organized labor is to get behind the. Thrift Stamp campaign with it's united support John F. Quinn, one of the leading labor men of the city,, has been appointed Thrift Stamp di- rector for the unions, and he is talk. ing hold of the work in splendid fashion. Each union will conduct a. canvass to sell the stamps among the members, just as the lodges are doing. Tuesday evening Thrift Stamp rally was held by the Central Labor union and F. W. Schultz, Thrift Stamp campaign director for the lodges. told of the work he is doing. A similar line of campaign. will be followed out by MT. Quinn among the unions.
 This afternoon at o'clock Gen. tral Manager F. R. Gilpatric will att tend a convention of the directors of. the war stamp campaign of the, larger cities in Connecticut at the. Hotel Taft, New Haven. There wilf Ec 9 Hoover dinner followed by a. general discussion.
 Bayard M. Crum, Thrift Stamp di-, rector at the Stanley Works, hast adopted a good scheme for selling stamps in his department which might well be adopted by other Thrift Stamp agents. When a man comes to him, MT. Crum sells him one of the baby bonds at the start, and doesn't mention Thrift Stampsf to him. Then he explains the idea of the Thrift Stamps 10 his man, as a means of saving up quarters tos buy another war saving certificate. The certificate costs s4.13. so when he gives his man back change for tho s5 bill he manages to see that he takes 75 cents worth of it in Thrift Stamps giving him a good. start on the way to buying another baby bond.
 The local directors of the Thrift Stamp campaign will have an impor-. tant meeting Friday evening at & o'clock at the Chamber of Com-I merce rooms.

CURE TIE APPETITE.

And who shall say that there is no family can live on what an American family throws away? Tho editor of the weekly bulletin of the United States Food Administration gets down to facts. He says. ''The American family throws away gristle. bone and trimmings from meat, the necks, feet fuls of perfectly good cooked rem nants from the table, The French family puts all this food into the soup stock and makes it the foundation for delicious dishes"
 We learn with age. The American nation is a young nation. Until this meant to save, either in the realm of foodstuffs or in the marts of con- merce or finance. We have been wasteful That is our greatest sin. Electric lights? Let them burn. What do we care? Coal? Throw on a few more shovelsful What boots it? Butter? Spread it on the bread till it does your old heart good to see it there. Isn't there plenty more where that came from? And so it went The questions and answers aforementioned arc what took place year or so ago.
 Now we are, as q nation, getting down to bed rock. We are fast being made to realize that the wastefuIness has gone far enough; that we have been too eXtravagant; that it is time to call a halt. We know that it would be strange French family indeed that could not live on what an American family throws away: that if would be a marvellous German ia i1y. or English family, or any other kind of q family that could not live on one-half what it takes to support a family in this country. And realiz- ing, we are trying to get back to the simple lfe to the manner and means of living recommended by the United States Food Administrator, Herbert

APPLY THE LAW.

Tn the event the coal shortage con- tinues in this city there is one remedy that can be administered for the ben eft of those who might otherwise suffer. That is, apply the law. There are rules and regulations the rigid en- forccment of which will tend to ale viate present conditions. The Fuel Ad- ministrator here knows his powers
 The Mayor is acquainted with what
 can be done There is no reason un-
 der high heaven why some cellar bins
 should be heavily laden with coal
 while others are empty. An investi- gating committee, made up of good and honest men who are willing to sacrifice a few hours of valuable time, should be able to find out the exact number of tons of coal in the city. After that it would be a simple \ mater to see that the needy are served.

NON ESSENTIALS IN EDUCATION
Public Has Felt That the system Throughout the Nation Is
 Overloaded.
(Providence JOurnal)

(Providence Journal.)
 Non essential industries are to be brought under control, or Topped off and a plan is on foot for regulat- ing issues of new securities with a view to restraining the expansion of capital in n-CSScntal directions The purpose is to concentrate cap ital and labor, so far as possible, on effort essential to the winning of the war We are beginning to hear, too, of non essentials in education, and they had better be dispensed with for the duration of the war.
 An official of Columbia university, which is faced with a deficit of a ouarter of a million dollars, declares that the curriculum will have to be cut down. Other Colleges, of course, have the same problem of readjust ment before them, because of de- creased regisn ation and heavy losses in tuition fees. The suggestion for relief, as first step, that padded curriculums be stripped to the bone" is obviously a prudent one.
 IT may be difficult to decide just what are non-essentials in educaton as it is to specify all the absolutely n-essential industries. But, if a budget situation that demands a drastic overhauling has been re- ouircd to prompt educators to think about combing out the mulufarlouS courses it may be observed that there has long been a pubic feelng that the educational system, generally, is badly overloaded. Under an economic pressure it ought to be reasonably easy to identify the fads ana cut them out, for an initial step in get tine down +o the educational necessi- ties, And conservation of educa- tionaI resources. made compulsory for the period of the war, ought to prove of permanent benefit

Con cress has authorized only two ap- pointments in the general gradc-one to be the chief of staff and the other -chief of the American forces in France, and the conunua- +ion of General Bliss in the former of fee while he is serving on the Allied War Council will prevent the promo tion of General March.
