WHEN AND WHY is
BLUEGRASS NOT BLUEGRASSl

Louisville, Ky. - Did the birds and
the wind connive to make it appear
that the plaintiff had not lived up to
his part of the contract?'
This question was to be settled by
Magistrate ]. j. Bunnell in a little
drama which might be entitled
when Is Bluegrass Not Bluegrass
and Why?"
The question was so unusual that
the magistrate took it under advise
ment. 1t come up in a suit of the
Kentucky Nursery company against
Charles d. Ray.
The amount of 1874 was involved, and
the plaintiff was suing to collect it for
the sodding of Mr.. Hays grounds on
Murray avenue.
The defendant AYERS that intermin-
gled with the bluegrass, weeds and
crab grass" made their appearance
in great force.
The nursery company, while admit
ting that such could be possible, con-
tends that birds an dthe wind carry
such seeds and let them fall whereso-
ever they may.

an THE DAYS NEWS"

DIR. John Grier Hibben, who enters
upon his sixtieth year today, has been
president of Princeton University
since 1912, when he was chosen to sue
coed Woodrow Wilson, who had re-
signed two years previously upon his
nomination for the New Jersey fov-
ernorship. Dr. Hibben was born at
Peoria, ILL.,, the son of Presbyterian
clergyman. After his graduation at
Princeton in 1882 he spent four years
in study at Princeton Theological
Seminary and at the University of Ber-
lon. In 1887 he was ordained to the
Presbyterian ministray and during the
net four years filled a pastorate at
Chambersburg Pa. He then returned
to Princeton as instructor in logic and
psychology. During this period of his
career the versatility of his cholar-
ship was demonstrated, for, in addi-
ton to his work in logic and psychol-
ogy, he conducted classes in mathe-
matics, ethics and Biblical literature.

Good BOOKS AT
ALL CROSSROADS
American Library Association
Urges Adoption Of County
Library System.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.
California, the PlOneer-0ther
States Adopting the
Plan.

The American Library Association,
in announcing its Books for Every
body" movement, which is to be nation
wide in its scope, advises and urges the
extension of the county library system
as "a solution of the problem Of supply
ing good literature TO the rural dis
trlcts. Its intention is to persist in
advocating the nationwide adoption
of the idea as successfully applied in
California, Ohio and Maryland until
every one of the 2,964 counties In the
nation have adopted the system and
regular shipments of good books are
being made from the central point in
the county to the designated outposts.
California stands out as the highpoint
in the successful application of the
idea. OF the 50 counties in the state
AZ have adopted and are supporting the
system at trihing cost. This it urges
as part of its enlarged program which
aims to promote a better citizenship
and to combat the social and industrial
unrest through the teaching of Ameri-
can ideals and traditions to the foreign
born.
The book needs OF the sixty million
or more Americans who live outside Of
the big cities will be called to the at
tention of those in a position to serve
them.
County Libraries Urged.
The county library system provides
for establishing one central library at
the county seat or in the largest town
in every county. This does not mean
necessarily the erecting of a library
building and the stocking of its shelves
In many cases the tools already exist
From this central station books will
be loaned to designated outpost sta
tons. The books will be delivered by
trucks, parcel post or whatever method
may be adopted in any given county to
the country stores, tollgates, post of
fees, schoolhouses and private homes.
When one shipment has been circulat-
ed and returned another will be sent
out. Also, in communities of any size
in the county, branch libraries will be
maintained.
The American Library Association,
with its 1000 active librarian mem
bers and its 40 years of practical func-
tioning, is in a position to know the
needs of the country and in the fight
for wider knowledge is a force to be
reckoned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure of 100000. There will
be no drive or intensive campaign.
The money will be raised by the libra
rians, library trustees and friends of
libraries. The movement for better
citizens and well read population is
on and the slogan is Books for Every
body"

CLASS OF EUROPE
IN HARD STRAITS.

Berne, Switzerland - Perhaps no
class in Europe is at present suffering
and struggling for life so much as the
intellectual and professional class.
This is most noticeable on the CONT
nent of Europe, especially In Switzer-
land, Germand, and Austria.
The cost Of living has risen in Switz-
erland nearly 200 per cent, in Austria
about 500 per cent, while in Germany
1t has increased hardly less. In Ger
many Switzerland, and Austria the in
tellectual classes scientists, profess
so ,srteachers, research workers, writ
ers, clergymen, artists, musicians,
civil servants, and officials, always
have been very badly paid. When food,
clothing, and necessaries generally
were cheap, they could manage to exc
out an existence. Not far from the
margin of existence even before the
war, they are now, in many cases over
that margin.
Prof. Harnack, curator of the Berlin
library, complains that foreign books
and periodicals can no longer be
bought, or, at best, only very few. The
Berlin National library, for instance,
now can afford to subscribe to 10 for
eign periodicals, instead of 1900 as be-
fore the war. German scientific peri
adicals are in mOribund state, be-
cause the publishers dare not take the
risk of bringing them out. Any many
large collections of scientific publica-
lions, especially those dealing with
medicine and natural history, are be-
ing bought up for foreign spectators
and taken out of Germany.
Owing to the lack of scientific ap-
planes and laboratories, and of the
means for the erection and mainte-
nance of the latter, and aboce all, ow-
ing to the struggle for existence of
German scientists today, what is likely
to happen is that all who can will emf
crate and will flood Holland, Sweden,
Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, and
even Portugal and Spain, and try to
get employment there, for they are at
present largely unemployed and starry
ing.
Most of this class already have sold
what they possibly can sell - books
and scientific instruments, family pos
sessions, linen, and even furniture, and
they are going about very nearly in
rags.
1t is not merely nthe central en-
pires that these classes of the popula-
ton are suffering. No work in Switz-
erland is so poorly paid as ointellec-
tual work. In Berne the street sweep
ers now earn as much as, and even
more than some professors. Moreover,
