ON NEEDS OF FRENCH
Miss Anne Morgan 10 Speak Friday
Noon in Topeka.

Noon In Topeka.
A workman with his tools on his
back stepped into the public library
of Scissors the other night at going
home time-the American public Ii
brary one should add, for it is only in
the devastated regions that the peo-
pie are lucky enough to have some
free libraries. and it is the American
committee which has installed and is
running them
Timidly he placed his tools on the
floor and asked how he could inscribe
for books. He was shown the very
simple card on which to write his ad-
dress and the names of two refer
ences. rs that ALL" he asked aston
ished. land now can really have
a book2" He was assured that that
was all-was there any special book
he desired? "Oh, yes, the second vol
ume of Monte Cristo," he said, without
a moments hesitation. And off he
went with it added to his tools. It's
extraordinary how these French dew
astated people always know what book
they want" reflected the American
librarian. II never found anything
like it in my long New York expert
ence."
It is in the interests of these self
same French people that Miss Anne
Morgan, chairman of the American
Committee Cor Devastated France, will
speak in Topeka, Friday noon at the
Chamber of Commerce.
