at the high school. is arranging for a
library week at the high school. be-
ginning next Monday. and at her sug-
gestion I am extending this drive 10
the elementary schools" said Supt
R. J. Tighe today. Il am glad 10 do

brary days. such as we have had dur
ing the past five years. We can COM
bine the library day idea with that OF

pals devote next week TO a special ef-
fort in the interest OF good books.

teaching OF children TO use our city
library Now. since the city library
has increased funds. IL is in a much

sure of the wind on the reporters
head became oppressive. 1t seemed
that the plane was going to crash into
the streets OF the city. The dive shot
the plane suddenly from a region OF
sunlight into the shadow of big
ridge. A railroad sprang into view, and
the plane, still diving sharply, came
into sight of a long. green field. The
city had been crossed. Abruptly the

mishap in this country most of all,
for despite the cold he was keeping
well toward the ceiling" so that the
plane might glide to lake or river
ii her engine stopped.
From that great height he could
select and reach landing place
nearly eight miles from him, for a
plane will glide five feet for every
one 1t descends. But the engine
hummed on without a single miss.
Pennsylvania corner was now be-
low and appeared as inhospitably
rough as New Yorks mountainous
counties. The sun was creeping
nearer and nearer the horizon and
every moment the slanting rays were
revealing more and more the fact that

the map was right at least in indicat-
ing hills and deep valleys The
warnings that the land below was as
irregular as New York city's Jagged
line OF skyscrapers and Just as dan
gerous. Wooded sections prevailed
and even In the small meadows rocks
peeped out. Lakes were also to be
seen. but their yellow-white surface
indicated that they were full OF rotten
ice.
Further ahead the green covered
hills were turning black under the
dropping sun. The hollows between
them were filed with mist The hill
tops looked like crests of dark waves
In the motionless ocean. Among them
the Susquehanna curled its way. THE
Sun man began to wonder whether the
plane could possibly beat the sun in
its race toward the cloud encircled
western horizon.
Suddenly he remembered the other
plane and looked about fos t. 1t could
not be seen. He shouted a question to
the pilot. who had turned at intervals
during all the path finding, but TEX"
Marshall could not tell him.

that he actually directs the details of
this vast organizationr-the staff does
that but Sims runs the staff.
Like Nelson and his band OF brothers,
Sims and his staff of brothers have
been directing the operations of the
victorious American navy in Europe
for the last two years. This is where
the human touch comes in-the ability
not only to kindle hut to keep alive in
the hearts OF his subordlnates the sort
Of loyalty and devotion to duty that
makes them put their very souls
into their work. The Sims touch" is
the most striking feature of the Amer
lean navy in Europe and one which
confronts one like slap in the face
from the Chief of Staff down to tho
lowest coal passer They do their
work and more. not for fear of punish
ment or because OF the navy regula-
lions. but rather because they are di-
rected and watched over by a man in
whom they have the utmost conf
dence. Mutual loyalty is the highbrow
definition Of such team work" AS
we lowbrows understand It, 1t means
simply that Sims Is the captain OF the
team, elected by virtue Of the fact that
he Is the best man in it.
"Good, but Not Good Enough"
For years Sims has stood for all
that represents tho highest and best
