BOOKSELLING

0NE of the best known and most
~ successful retail sellers of books
in this country went on record recent
ly, In a speech made before the Wom-
ems National Bookselling association,
as believing that an era of great ex-
pansiYn for the small bookshop is at
hand, and he added that he thought
women were particularly suited to
take large part in this expansion.
II think that many women who have
worked as librarians would make first
class booksellers, and / think that a
good business woman could not do
better than put her money into a
small book shop in any of the thou
sands of towns throughout America
where there is no such shop at pres
emit" H. added that there was al
ways better chance Of succeeding
with q bookstore in town that hat
pupnc library, tnah an one where
there was no such institution.
Yet 1t is possible for clever woman
to so arrange things that her little
store will become an attraction ever
in a neighborhood that has not We
acquired a taste for reading. Specia
programs and lectures could be ar
ranged for IN the SHOP; there shoul'
be a carefully thought out plan b,
which TO attract the children; Their
might be poster displays that woul'
strike the popular fancy. The thin
to do is to get people to come to tn
store In the first place, by any mean
that will seem effective. The actus
buying of books would come later, bu
II would come.

 Because of it the American Jewish Relief Committee is appealing for $l4,- 100000 with which to carry on its work in Europe, and aiding it in this appeal are the distinguished humani- traians, MT. Straus and Felix NJ. War burg.
 Americans think they are poor now because there is a temporary financial depression" said Mir. Straus, "but their poverty would be considered opulence in parts of Europe. No working American has yet the right to stay his hand when there is call such as we are now issuing on behalf of our people"
 Half million Russians homeless and in danger of death from starvation- that is one reason for the call of the AW -ican Jewish Relief Committee. There are sixty thousand orphans, too, in Poland who are utterly dependent on charity for their lives. There are hungry people in Roumania and over all

Eastern Europe people who have not had full meal for six years. And threatening these people just as seri- ously as the imminent danger of starva- ton is the other danger of disease from their unsanitary surroundings.
 Money for sanitary relief measures to save Europe from the scourge of typhus, money for medicine for those who have already contracted disease. money with which to extend credits to artisans and merchants whose busi- ness war ruined, money for food and clothing for refugees-this is what . the committee wants. The least pos sihle amount, the absolute minimum, that will meet the needs is the sum set-$14000,000.
 David A. Brown, the well-known manufacturer of Detroit, is acting as national campaign chairman for this appeal, with headquarters at 103 Park Avenue, New York. Heading the executive committee is Louis Marshall, whose associates comprise Henry II. Rosenfelt, national director; Cyrus L. Sulzberger, secretary; A. F.
