The Library Habit
By MRS. II. WI. BOsTICK

Have you the library habit, or you
too busy to read, or are you just
Numbering along LIES lanes blissfully
ignorant of the gold mine at your
door
Do you sometimes wonder why your
neighbor, with less education than
yourself, seems to have corner on the
valuable ideas, swings the big deal, or
gets the promotion you were expect
ing but didn't land? The members Of
your neighbours family have never been
able to travel, vet they can talk most
entertainingly about distant lands.
They are posted on most every sub
ject, from the newest style in flapper
hair-cuts to origin of the species and
original sin. They know good pic
lures, can discourse intelligently about
the master minds Of the ages. and
seem intimately acquainted with OBJ
jects of art, from oriental rugs, antique
furniture and ancient pottery to the
most recent fads of the day. This fam
lily is so vitality interested in life and
things, so alive and happy, so fine and
wholesome! Not dull member in
the household, for they all have the
Ilibrary habit

many of Birmingham's business men
are familiar with Andrew Carnegie's
motto. The gist, of it is this: "Neyer
undertake anything new until you have
examined everything that has ever been
done before in that department. ;,
Neglect of this has cost thousands Of
dollars.
Business men are reading more along
the lines Of their occupation today than
ever before, and these same men would
be surprised to know the definite,
pertinent information the reference de-
partment of the public library yields
when intelligently used. Business lit
erature is SO widely scattered. related

MAN AND WOMAN
HURT IN SMASH
Auto Runs Into Street Car At
First And Twentieth

Mrs. H. B. Brown, st. Clair Springs,
Ala. and e. A. Morgan, 2014 Fourth
avenue, were injured Saturday at mid
night when Morgan drove his automo-
bile headlong into the rear of North
Birmingham street car at First avenue
and Twentieth street.
According to George Lebert, an eye
witness, Morgan was coming down
First avenue at rapid rate, and ran
into the street car, as it was stopped
at the crossing. The automobile was
crushed.
Lebert pulled Morgan out of the
wreckage and placed him in an auto
mobile of 1. G. Heck, 1920 Elm street,
who removed him to the hospital. His
injuries were found to be Of minor
nature and he was placed under bond
by Detectives p. G. Cole and II. C.
Propst on charge of driving a car
while intoxicated.
Mrs. Brown was carried to the South
Highlands infirmary by Ridouts ambu-
lance, where she declined to talk with
newspaper reporters. She sustained a
fractured leg and bruises and cuts
about the head and face.
Morgan told police that he did not
know the identity of the woman. He
said that he picked her up on the street

to so many subjects and drawn from
so many different directions, that few
private libraries have been able to
bring together appreciable collections
therefore the crying necessity OF the
well-equipped public library.

minister, woman's club and the school
child. but 1t Is guide to the me-

said that books and papers are just
as much tools to the workman as
wrenches, hammers and cold-chisels. |"
The Importance of the library TO edu-
cation has, long since passed the stage
of question Nor discussion, and when
one watches the droves of school chill
dren swarm into the reference depart
ment of the public library after school
hours, soon to be engaged with some
heavy volume, it is easy to see what
a mecca this place is to the student.
Then. 1t Is, one realizes that the Ii
brarian is the one who must carry on
the character-building started by the
teacher.
Next to the schools, the culture Of
a community is achieved by its library
opportunities. 1t is significant, that
New England, which has produced a
larger number of eminent persons than
any other portion of the country, has
1t IL claimed, more public library facili-
ties than perhaps all the remainder Of
the country put together.
Why not get the library habit? Then
we would all be boosters for the library
bond issue--the most momentous ques.
ton on our immediate calendar-and
make our dreams come true by going
to the polls on the thirteenth and vot.
