Son ObSeryes RirthdHy

Rochester, N. r, July r (Fo - Happily unaware of the grim shadow that had swept past him, Robert Scott observed his eighth birthday today with his two brothers at the Hillside Home for Children while his father, Russell T. Scott, condemned murderer, rejoiced In his cell at Chi cago over the reprieye that spared him from the galows.
 Robert and his younger brother, Russell, Jr., have never learned Of the sentence of the father for the staying of drug store clerk during holdup, but attendants at the home today declared that Dudley, g., the oldest Of the three had been taken into the confidence Of his mother before she left her sons 10 fight for the life Of her husband. He had been spared the details and the first definite news that he had vas the message of reprieve.
 Anxious to shield the boy from shock, his guardians at the home took care that the news should not be broken abruptly to Dudley, who was to have the double responsihil- fly of concealing hls joy from his brothers and keeping suspicion from their minds that another ordeal may await their mother when the brief respite is over unless the states in- vestigation proves that Scott Is en- titled to commutation Of sentence or freedom.

LIGHT DEMAND FOR EVOLUTION BOOKS
Library Reports Little Increased Interest in Mans Origin

Despite the fact that the all absorbing subject which seems 10 predominate the American mind to- day is the one "Is man evolved from what and if so, why?" the library of the New Britain institute reports 3 very slightly increased demand for books on evolution.
 Anticipating the same increased demand for these books, giving dis coveries, facts. theories and opin. tons on both sides Of the question, the library officials have placed two shelves Of books on this subject for public convenience. So far they have attracted little demand,
 The situation is different in the book market however. and new books on this subject are being found constantly One book by q prominent fundamentals, Dr. How ard A Kelly Of Johns Hopkins uni versity, "A Scientific Man and the Bible" has found its way to the New Britain library and is available for public perusal.
 Among other new books on the timely subject Is Human Origin" by Professor George Grant MacCurdy. Ph.D., of Yale; and What is Man?'' by J Arthur Thomson. A purely scientific book written for the lay man and dealing with modern facts and theories is Formulation Of the Universe" by M. Luckiesh. director of tho research laboratory for the General Electric company.
 Foreign Language Books
 The demand for foreign language books continues In increased amounts and far in excess of the ability Of the institute to supply. There are books in l0 or more diff ferent languages besides English These books tell Of life, customs and conditions Of foreign countries and also of American traditions and GUS toms. They are taken usually by children of people who are not edu- cated in the English language. These children take them home for theil parents to read. A vast demand fol books of this kind comes from the schools and Miss Greta Brown, H. hrarian, reports that there is neeC for hundreds of books for which th' library has no funds.
 A large portion Of the work 1T the library at tlis season of the veal consists of the sorting of books fol repairs and replacement, especially for the school libraries. The books are repaired in the building wher' ever possible and sent to the binder! if necessary. The scope of this worl can be appreciated when 1t becomes known that last year more than 14. 900 books were repaired in tn building.
 One of the services offered by th' library and which is being taken ad vantage of Is the vacation service whereby people are given unlimited
