GIRLS INTERESTED
 IN BOOKS FOR BOYS
Demand Tor War Stories Is Fall.

The demand for hooks on the World War is falling off at least among children al the library of the New Britain institute, according. 10 Miss Elizabeth Wainwright, and the child Ten ef school age Wha ratronize the juvenile department ara turning to events of moro recent Interest, she says,
 Miss WainWright also points ont a rather amusing incident which might be termed one Of inc steps nf ryalu- ton of the flanner, when shr zass that girls Of today are showing % ksener interest than ever iu the books Of adventure and other thriilsrs en- Joyed hY the boys, while the hays with the same old contempt for things fe- mlnlne, which characterized tho~e Of an earlier generation, remain roligl, eusly away from books printed for the pernsal Of the opposite soS.
 \ vacation book service is proving popular at the New Britain Institute this sumner. By it's terms A person going out of town for several woelg may take ont T larger number oi books than usual. books with time limit must he returned hy parcel post but the others may be kept until October lst without any fine being charged. The person taking out the books may make his own choice or, if requested. the authorities Of the library will select thcm, Good fiction is most in demand for this service, hut technical works ere popular. Special selections including suitable for all members of the family arc made up on request.
 In general the demand for books has fallen off during tho summer months. while hot weather has brought slight increase in the per- centage Of fiction. There is also more call for books dealing with outdoors. especially in the children's depart ment. Miss Greta Brown, librarian, expects that there will be a larger demand for books when several fac tories shut down for short periods this summer.
 One of the sriking things in con-' nection with the institute is its part in Americsnization. It has q large collection of books in foreign lan- guages. but it is noticed that after taking several of these. person born across the water usually begins to take out books written in English along with foreign language books. The children of those unable to read English also help by taking out "easy" books and reading them to their parents.
 Miss Brown recently compiled q list. of new and popular fiction for the information of yacationists. which | can be obtained upon application at | the library.
 Workers in the factories are con stantly asking tor technical and busi ! ness books. and so to meet this de- | mand, Miss Brown has made up q list of s-ch books. It follows:

REINDEER OFFSPRING DISOWNED BY MOTHER
 IF TOUCHED BY MAN

Don't become affectionate with baby reindeer when visiting Cant we'll next summer, for the chances the baby reindeer will be orphaned are about even that you may land in the hospital and the baby reindeer become an outcast," says W. T. Lopp, chief of the Alaska school ser vice, U. S. Bureau of Education.
 Mamma reindeer is as particular about the perfume her offspring uses as is the average human doting mother is of who kisses her young hopeful. Unlike the parents of owen Wister's scrambled babies, the moth CT reindeer refuses to have any so- cial intercourse with her offspring if the bare hand of man comes in contact with it. Neither is the dairy open longer to the unfortunate ru- minant.
 We put this to test once," said MT. Lopp. When we learned that baby reindeer had arrived we were anxious to show our appreciation by fondling it. An Eskimo herder told me that the mother would dis own it. We tried every way to get her to recognize her child, but she adamantly refused. We fed it canned milk for time but it died.
 ITO guard against having a num- Der of disowned calves during the fawning season, the herders provide themselves with fresh reindeer skin gauntlets reaching to the elbows and in this manner are able to pick up the struggling weddings and load them on dogsleds and take them along with the herd. The babies are laid on reindeer skin in the sleds so that they absorb no unnatural odor."

National Pressure Cookers have become
universally known as the most economical
means of preparing delicious food Al
ready they are in thousands of homes, and
there is constant demand for them. Cook
ing experts have found them to be the
greatest discovery to the art, for they pre-
serve all the natural food values, aside from
saving gas or electricity expense, and re-
quiring less time for the culinary artistic in
her kitchen. National Pressure Cookers are
used for roasting, broiling, steaming, frying,
boiling and baking. They are unequaled for
the canning Of fruits and vegetables. Every
home should have National Cooker. The
