LIBRARY WORK
TO BE EXPANDED
Trustees Arrange For New
Lines of Activity During
Coming Winter Season

Trustees of the Harrisburg Public
Library last night adopted a budget
calling for various new lines of ac-
tivity to meet demands upon the
institution now that the war is over
and numerous things arc coming up
wherein the library can play a part.
The twcnty-one school libraries
will be established as soon as the
books arrive and conditions in the
schools are adjusted. A consider
able outlay of money to meet this
demand for books for the schools
has been authorized and some of the
best literature suitable for the
youngsters will be provided. Tech
nical books asked by the returned
soldiers so that they can continue
studies which they began while in
the service have been ordered and
at request of men who are taking
courses in night schools special
books have also been arranged for.
The library of the late Judge John
B. Mcpherson has been nearly all
cataloeed and will be placed on
the shelves. A number of books
have also been bought from the Ly-
man d. Gilbert Memorial fund.
The Library will assist in the OBJ
servance of Children's Book week,
November 10 to 1S in the country
and in number of other projects
in this city and vicinity which were
discussed last night and referred to
the Library committee for action.

Clemenceau Has Not
Recovered From Effects
of Cottin's Bullet
By Associated Press

Paris, Oct. 14.-Premiel Clemen-
ceau's delivery of his Peace Treaty
ratification speech in the Chamber
of Deputies was very laborious and
he coughed repeatedly. This was re-
garded as evidence that he had not
completely recovered from the ef-
fects of Cottin's bullet. His voice at
times became almost inaudible,
deputies and spectators alike fearing
a collapse of the old statesman.
Responding to the criticism that
the Peace Conference had lasted too
long, M. Clemenceau cited the West
phalian Congress ending the Thirty
Years War, which lasted seven
years; while the Paris Peace Con-
ference had lasted only seven
months.
II am sure" said NJ. Clemenceau,
that the work accomplished by the
Conference will OCCUPY greater
space in history than the entrance
of Mohammed II into Constanti-
nople."
Everyone laughed.
With very rare exceptions, deputies
and spectators, did not seem to
realize that Clemenceau was In
earnest; that the entrance of Mo-
hammed II into Constantinople is re-
garded as the end OF the Middle
Ages and the commencement of the
period known as Modern times"
Mohammed entered Constantinople

bureau chief and has entered upon
his new duties.
Practical Plans
Director Lawrie is preparing var
fous plans of financing the housing
corporations which have found to
be practicable in various places and
sorting building plans that are suit
able. He will be available to go to
any community which has attacked
the housing problem and aid them
in the solution of their difficulty and
will be glad to have correspondence
with such communities at once.
The addition of the housing
bureau is another one of the pro-
gressive moves which the State
Chamber is adopting to make itself
of genuine service and follows the
passage of a resolution at the recent
annual meeting and subsequent ac-
ton of its directors to install such
bureau. F. r. Babcock. of Pitts
burg is chairman of the housing
committee.
Lack of Facilities
The lack of housing facilities has
largely come about through the lack
of adequate building prior to our
entry into the war and the stoppage
of building during the war. The re-
suits of a preliminary survey con-

result the efficiency and health of
a considerable portion of the popu-
lation is jeopardized, causing dis
content.
Practical homes for workers is be-
lieved to be the solution of this and
many of the vital problems of the
day. The State Chamber through
its bureau will place before the
businessmen in the communities,
ways and means of meeting the sit
uation in the most practical and eff
ficient manner.
Industrial Handicap
Director Lawrie was a first lieu
tenant in the Ordnance Department
He was executive assistant to the
commanding officer of the Inspection
Division of the Bridgeport Ordnance
District, directing and supervising
all administrative matters. His
training and experience especially
qualify him for his new post.
For a number of years lack of
adequate housing has been an in
dustnial handicap and unless urgent
steps are taken it will develop into
national danger. In the past,
Pennsylvania has attacked such
problems vigorously and now with
the State Chamber back of this
movement, it has great impetus.
The State Chamber of Commerce
is proving itself an active, aggres-
sive commercial body and is assist
ing in building up the State in an
energetic and sound, business-like
manner.
