Fords in transit from Detroit TO
Chicago was slightly injured and his
machine considerably damaged in
an accident which occurred about
one-quarter mile north of st. Mary's
academy about 8 o'clock Wednesday
night.
An effort OF one Of the drivers TO
place the blame for the accident on
r. y. ScamehOrn, Niles, and 10 have
him held by the police. failed after
Capt. Jones Schock had heard the
story o. both parties.
Mr.. Scamehorn, who is purchas-
ing agent Of the Kawneer Mfg. Co.
and Harry Parker, secretary of the
French Paper Co. Niles, were driv-
ing TO South Bend TO attend the

the fourth car in line. in approach
ing from the rear, skidded into the
ditch, slightly injuring the driver

The story told by the driver who
brought Mr.. Scamehorn 10 the pO-
lice station. was that the driver of
the wrecked machine was killed,

LIBRARY SERVICE
FOR SICK PEOPLE
New Line of Work for Pub
lie Library Established
at Sioux City. la.

SIOU%> CITY. Ia, May 12.-Hos-
pital library service, an entirely new
line of work from the public library
standpoint. has recently been estab-
lished by the public library of Sioux
City. The library placed a carefully
and well chosen collection OF books
ranging from 500 TO 500 volumes in
each of Sioux City's six hospitals.
A hospital librarian visits the
cOnvalescing patients in each hos
pital regularly twice a week and sup
plies the reading matter. Selection
is made easy for the patients by the
use in each hospital of a booktruck.
Tell Stories.
Frequently in the children's ward
the hospital librarian tell stories or
occasionally reads aloud as the need
arises.
The service has become very pop
ular in all Sioux City hospitals and
il is said its value can hardly be
estimated. The therapeutic value Of
the use OF books in the hand OF con-
valescing patients was proven by the
American library association during
the war.
The idea Of the public library hos
pital service is a direct outgrowth
of library war work. il was through
his experience as camp librarian
that the librarian of Sioux City, c..
w. Summers. developed this new
line OF public library work which
is attracting attention among libra
rians throughout the country.
