Devastated Regions Committee

PARIS. Dec. 22.-A little bit Of
America has Just been presented to
Paris in the form of a new library.
organized. equipped and directed
according to the most modern Amer
lean methods.
The equipment. including 5000
new books. was donated by the
American Committee for the De-
vastated Regions. which will ad-
minister and direct the three French
librarians for a year. After that
time the French will manage 1t
wholly themselves. Every year two
or three French women will be
sent to America for library tratn-
ing,
Stands Beside School.
The new library. which Ii In
Belleville. a little suburb of Paris,
is in q modest, cheerful building,
close beside the school and an old
municipal library. With its fresh
coat Of paint. indirect lighting sys-
lem and plants and flowers, II
makes one think Of the branch or
small-town libraries in America. 1t
Will Uc run OH huCH thc SuhhC
lines as those which were so sue
cessful during the war.
Paris has a municipal library in
every reimbursement or ward. For
the most part these collections are
hudd,ed into small, dark, dingy
rooms, poorly lighted and almost al
ways without reading rooms for the
public. The crowds Of people form
lipas Of tho ontran moo IN wait fOr
the books to be handed out to them.
for few Frenchmen can afford to
buy many books nowadays.
Books Neatly Mended.
The famous little paper-backed
novels, which, before the war. could
be bought for 20 or 20 cents per
volume, cost five or six times that
price now. One must now get
his literature at the municipal IL
brary, even II 1t is not up to date.
The books are old and worn (but
neatly mendeO, and there are so
few copies of the newest literature
that lone Is often obliged to wait
for the books to grow old and
musty before he can read them.
The new American library is
only a sample" said Ambassador
Herrick, in his address on the open
ing night. We hope the French
people will like this sample and
adopt the new methods of distrib-
uting books"
Incidentally, the adoption of Amer
ican library methods in France
opens a new career to French wom-
en-, who have need Of any new and
pleasant employment they can find.

Chemicals Used in Warfare.

The employment of pitch and SUI
phur, burned at the walls of ancient
cities, was the earliest recorded hui
man use of noxious chemicals in
warfare, according to an inventor.
The use of combustibies, he said, orig
mated in sea battles fought by ships
that had come to grips, while burning
sulphur was contemplated by the
English as means OF driving the
Russians out Of Sebastapol during the
Crimean war.
