THE ATHENAEUM

The question has been asked re-
Gently if the circulation is as large
as it was 10 or Is years ago.
Perhaps other friends will be IN
terested in the answer.
The circulation has increased dur
ing the past ten years with the ex-
ception of the year 1918, when war
activities and the influenza epidemic
made the difference in library work
here that was noted in Libraries
throughout The country. Nineteen
and nineteen showed a marked IN
crease when the circulation reached
36,936 volumes; 10000 more than
during 1918 and nearly 1000 more
than any previous year. The average
dailv circulation, not including Sat-
urdays, was 113, 81 had been the
highest daily average.
November 1919 was the largest
month on record when 4096 books
were borrowed. January and Feb
luary of this year have kept the
figures we'll up; 1880 in January and
1865 in February, the latter a month
of only "a working days. -
These figures do not include $500
magazines borrowed during the past
year
The library was glad to welcome
545 new patrons in 1919.
Az interesting part of the work at
the Athcnaeum is the large number
and variety of questions asked each
dav. A few of these questions will in
dictate the practical help that the LII
brary can give, and the wide range OF
information sought.
Is there & book that will 2ld IN

A book that will help in determin-
inc whether certain St. Johnsbury

VIENNA DEATH RATE
BECOMES APPALLING
Condition Of Children Even More
Narrowing, Declares Authority
on Clty's Desperate Plight.

Five years Of famine have resulted
in greatly increased mortality and
mOrbldity in Vienna which before the
war was counted as one of the health
lest cities in Europe. Figures prepared
BY DR. Gustave Bohn, head Of the
Vienna Health Department, show that
In 1913 the death rate was 1873 per
thousand. In 1918 the rate was 22.5
per thousand, an Increase of more than
II per cent.
Professor Hans Spell of the Uni-
versity Of Vienna, says that "even
more terrible than the mortality sta
tistics are those referring to the con-
ditlon of children and their mothers
Owing to under-nourishmept few moth,
ers can nurse their babies, and the milk
shortage affects not only Infants, but
all children In spite Of al that has
been done to help At Professor
Clemens Plrquet's clinic IN the uni
versity some $3.50 children were ex.
amined in 1918. Only 1887 Of these
or about one-thirteenth were passed as
skin good, fat good $4,000 were pale
and thin, or very pale and very thin.
1.-THE health Of these children shows
most disquieting features. Skin disease,
rachitis and Barlow's disease are rife.
1.-THE chief medical officer of Vienna
asks. What Is going to happen to these
under-fed children. In whose bodies the
germ of tuberculosis Ii latent, when
they reach the twenties, at which time
II becomes activef'"
TO combat these conditions the Amer
lean Relief Administration of which
Herbert Hoover is chairman fed last
winter in the city of Vienna some
10000 of the destitute and under
nourished children. supplying them
with a substantial meal Of American
food. served In q number Of large
kitchens opened for that purpose.
The conditions In Vienna are more
or less typical of those In Poland and
ether countries OF Central and Eastern
Europe. Last year the Relief Admin
istration was able TO reach some $780,
600 under-nOurished children and this
winter the program calls for the feed
