TIT is well worth a trip to the public
 library to- see the posters, illustra- S tive of their war work, gotten out by the seven welfare organizations Ill., ciuded in this weeks united war worK campaign. Miss Emily Miller, the clever reference librarian. has decorated the walls of the ltbrary's "War Department with these posters. and many favorable comments have been heard about their artistic arrangement and the message which they convey.
 Mrs. W. S Lowell, whose knowledge and judgment in matters of art are un- questioned, says of these posters:

A., the Knights of Columbus, the Jewish Welfare board, the War Camp Communi- ty service, the American Library asso- ciation, and the Salvation Army. The Y NJ c. A. has many fine de- signs.
