n. S. BASKET BALL TEAM
TO OPPOSE REGULARS.

Many of the local basket ball fans
have requested a contest between the
high school and the Regulars. Man
ager Block of the local high school
squad has succeeded in arranging the
first contest for Thursday. Mar. A..
The Regulars have been success
full in most of their games this year
and for this reason have become quite
confident of a victory over the high
school. Then again they are heavier
and more experienced players than the
high school boys.
While on the other hand the school
boys have been equally successful and
are confident of playing a good game
on their floor any time. They have
picked up a little speed" in the last
few weeks and are developing more
each day in preparation of this con-
test.
This will be an opportune time for
the fans to show their respect to their
team by coming out and supporting it.
Come out and witness this game on
March 4 (next Thursday. 1t will be
worth seeing.
Don't forget the High School game
this Saturday night at the gym, p.

LIBRARIANS join
FIGHT ON UNREST
American Library Association In
a%ugurates Nationwide Books
for Everybody" Movement.
WILL AID FOREIGN BORN.
Social Problems Can Be Solved
by Teaching American Ideals
and Traditions.
AID FOREIGN BORN.

The spirit of unrest that has been
sweeping the country indicates that
the foreign born, who have fiocked to
the United States from every corner of
the globe have not been given the
proper help and encouragement, in the
opinion of the 1000 librarians who
make up the American Library AssOci-
alton and who are now enlisted in a
Books for Everybody" movement.
The effort is a concerted movement
to carry out the Enlarged Program
which the association has adopted.
There are approximately fifteen mil
lions of foreign born in the United
States and of this number six millions
do not read or speak the English lam
guage. One phase of the Enlarged
Program will be to bring the publisher
and translator together with the view
of furnishing the proper books in suf-
ficient numbers to carry the message
of American ideals and traditions to
this vast army of uniformed peo-
pie. They have been largely dependent
upon the foreign press for their writ
ten messages. Many me who live
with their fingers on the pulse of cur
rent events are firmly convinced that
a sound foundation In A~mericanism
can be easily built among the foreign
born If the proper literature is placed
within their reach in a language they
can understand.
No Drive to Be Held.
In order tG carry out the Enlarged
Program two million dollars will be
required. This money will not be
sought through the medium of a cam
paign or an intensive drive, but will
be obtained through the individual eff
forts of the Librarians, library trustees
and friends Of Libraries. The Amer
lean Library Association will bend
every effort to bring about the ma
tion-wide adoption of each of the
cardinal points in the Program, which
includes the extension Of the county IL
brary sytem and the establishment of
more industrial and business libraries.
1t now has in operation book service
to the United States Merchant Marine,
Coast Guard, Lighthouse Service and
hospitals of the United States Public
Health Service. The needs of the
$4,000 blind persons in the United
States will be cared for. At present
the number Of books available is woe
fully inadequate. This will be rene
died and the joys of good literature
will be brought into lives that are
darkened by a veil which will never
be raised by any other method.
Not all the work of Americanization
lies in the great centers of population.
Great sections of the country where In
dustry is carried on by foreign work
ers do not know public library service.
There are important mining states
where less than a score of Libraries
exist. One mining state has but two
public Libraries.

PLEASANTvILLE REGULARS
DROP ANOTHER GAME.

In a fast exciting game on Tuesday
evening the st. Michaels five of Allan
tic City defeated the Pleasantville Reg
ulars by a score of 41-28. The first
half was close, leaving the crowd in
great doubt as to the outcome of the
game. However, the second half soon
displayed the training and practice of
the st. Michael's team. Considering
the fact that the Pleasantville team
has never practiced nor become orga-
nized it must be conceded that the
home team played well. The Pleasant
vile team has excellent material which
could be rounded into a fine team with
a little practice and coaching. The
home team has finally discovered a
good referee. Stanley Parsells has
shown mastery form in the position
of referee. The following is the score
of the game:

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

The American Library Association,
in announcing it's 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 10 the rural dis
tricts. 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 1854 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 So counties in the state
AZ have adopted and are supporting the
system at a trifing cost. This it urges
as a 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 n 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
lions. 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 men,
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 $4,000 600. 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 a well read population is
on and the slogan is Books for Every
body"

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with. ..-
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aIkaI. This dries the
scalp, makes the kair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil sham
poo (which is pure and entirely grease
1ess), is much better than anything else
you can use for shar1pcoing, as this
can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub It IN. One or two tesspoo1fuls
win make an abundance OF rich, creamy
iather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lztfler rinses CIT easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
