An illustrat ton of what can be
done - secure such unwarranted
news first hand is given as a some

story is about as follows:
The woman would seat herself in
her accustomed chair, by the tele-
phone, but could not reach it on ac-
count of its position on the wall.
That was all right. for she had a
string that she hitched to the hook,
then take off the receiver and let it
hang in the air. pull down the hook
with the string and make the latter
fast 10 nail beside her. When a
call came for any party on that line,
all she hal to do was to release the
string, grab the receiver from the
wall and absorb all the business or
gossip that might pass over the wire

More People Read Books

There are five times as many pe0-
pie in England reading books as
there were before the war, according
to Sir Ernest Williams, one of the
foremost publishers of London. He
says war has taught the people there
the value of books, and shown them
the joy of reading. When air raids
were numerous and all social activi-
ties stopped, there still remained the
inner room, the light and books
There was quick demand devel-
oped for light reading, but it has
changed and grown so that the best
books are most in demand When
aid raids We're ended and lights and
social activities were used again, the
habit of reading was continued and
has grown rapidly the past year
There is an insistent demand. this
publisher says, for books that deal
with real life. 1t is his belief that
out of the experiences of war has
been born a deeper appreciation of
life and understanding of how ire
mendously worth living it is. On this
new consciousness he bases the de-
mand for books that deal sincerely
with problems of life.-Ohio State
