pushed to a conclusion as rapidly

last week to safeguard Washing

Survey to Be Rushed.
At a meeting of the committee yes
terday afternoon In the assembly
hall of the association, In the Star

entire energy of the committee to
the completion Of this survey and to
take no further action on relief meas
ures until 1t is completed and an &C
curate estimate Of the needs OF the
city secured.
The committee is most anxious
that Washington business men ex-
pedite It's work by immediately sup
plying data covering fuel stocks on
hand and more particularly the re-
uuirements Of local business inter
ests during the period from October

should be sent to RI p. Andrews,

Members of the committee declare
that revelations so far brought to

Copies of HgGtChinsOn's
Book Can Not Meet
Demands.

About six months ago the IndianapO-
lis Public Library received its first cop
les of A. s. NJ. Hutchinson's novel. "If
Winter Comes" comparatively unher-
aided story Of modern English life, by
writer whose previous work was only
slightly known in this country. "If Win
ter Comes" has never been as widely
advertised as its popular predecessor,
Sinclair Lewis Main Street," in fact,
the greater part of its advertising has
come through those who have read 1t,
which makes all the more amazing the
stir it has created among the reading
public.
There are now in circulation in the
public library and its branches thirty
four copies of Hutchinsons novel, a
supply of which cannot possibly fill the
demand for the book. According to
Mary Dyer Lemon of the main branch
library, it is asked for almost every ten
minutes Of the day and since the library
does not keep a waiting list for fiction,
the full extent of the demand can hardly
be estimated.
Some idea of its popularity may be
gained, - however, from the fact that In
two of the popular rental circulating
libraries of the city, one with seven and
the other with ten copies of the book.
