Some New Books
For the Young Folks
THE only way to judge fairly Of


l. books for children is to see a chile
Of average intelligence reading them
Older people often read books which fail
to interest them through curiosity, sense
Of duty or from sheer boredom with every
thing else, but child has scant patience
with stupid book. The three in this
group are books that children will really
read and be able to tell you about when
they are finished, but the Stories for
ESery Holiday are better adapted to read
ing aloud than for a child's solitary
amusement.
Our Little Finnish Cousin is Clara
Vortrovsky Windows latest contribution
to the Little Cousin Series, which grows
steadily larger under the Page company's
direction, until one can now imagine no
sort Of little cousin remaining unearthed
at the present time. Yet it is a certain
thing that more of them will appear in
due order.
Miss Winlow gives in her preface q
brief history of Finland which child may
or may not read but which can always be
read aloud to him, and her story is Of two
Finnish children, ten-year-old lJuhani and
nx-year-old Maja, as they live through the
seasons of year.
There are large numbers of instructive
series for children which are instructive
and nothing else, but here the home life
and customs Of other countries are brought
into stories interesting enough to conceal
from the young reader the unpleasant fact
that his mind is being improved.
Little Cuba Libre is much the same
type of book by jamie Prichard Duggan
, md begins very properly:
"Once upon time-not many years
ago-in the lovely island Of Cuba, there
lived little girl named Amada. Her
father was Pablo Trueno, one Of the best
gardeners in the great city of Havana,
and Armada, or Amadita as he loved to
call her, was the light Of his eyes,"
Armada was also called Little Cuba
Libre" because Of her loyalty to her ma
tive island. Though a child at the time
Of Cuba's revolt against Spain, she was
not satisfied to sit at home and pray to
the Virgin or endure tortures at the hands
of the enemy. She put on a uniform, cut
her hair and joined the colors, meeting
with the usual adventures but no disas-
tiers.
The story gives good idea of Cuba
and the spirit Of the people at the time of
the rebellion. 1t is prettily told without
the condescension so often employed in
writing for children.
Carolyn Sherwin, Bailey's Stories for
Every Holiday are short and numerous.
They will be helpful to weary mothers
who have exhausted their supply. The
NeW Boy, the story Of how a school
teacher masqueraded as one Of the boys
be was about to begin teaching and so
won their affection before they knew him,
is clever, and Tad's Decoration Day, or
how little cripple was made happy al
though he couldn't march in the parade,
is among the best. Most of them are
stories which will appeal to children under
8 or 9.

SEEKING MEN FOR
 WORK IN ARSENALS

Montgomery, November 9.-(Special) United States arsenals and the con- struction division is daily asking the secretary of the civil service commits sion in Montgomery to supply men for emergency service. So great has be- come the demand the government has asked Oscar Irwin, the secretary, to begin a ''round-up" campaign of all men who desire to serve their govern ment and at the same time make from $4 to $10 and SIP per day, with time and half time for overtime.
 Twenty-Five hundred machinists are urgently needed at the arsenal at Watertown. Mass, the secretary is in formed. Fifteen hundred are needed at Watervlfet, N r., and in every branch of the big arsenals men are needed to aid the United States in the war.
 "The construction division of the United States army has taken over from the contractor the construction work of Camp Abraham Eustis at Lee Hall. Va, and henceforth employment of men at that establishment will be in accordance with civil service law and rules,' MT. Irwin said. There will be about two months employment on this job Although the government can- not obligate itself Vtos give the mon employment after that time it will en- 7deavor to place men who desire work and it is believed there will be no difficulty in men securing further en1- ployment either under the government direct or under government contrac- tors" The government pays 75 cents per hour, with time and half-time for more than eight hours. Transporta- tion arrangements are made.
