glad to render.

the Hiroshima Electric Works has
been experiencing bad business. The
workers. realizing the Situation. final

company and suggested that their
wages be reduced The employers,
however. refused to make the cut.

they be permitted to do more work.
This also was refused until the en-

The company hesitatingly acceded,
and now every worker appears at
the factory one hour earlier each day.
In the meantime business Is declared

The capacity of tho Library Of
Congress. already one of the largest
boo. repositories in the world, will be
increased approximately One-third by
the work now under way Of filling in
the northeast court with bookstacks
The addition will afford shelf room
for 1.750.000 volumes and $4,000 folios.
It IS expected that it will take care
OF the natural increase in the collec-
tons for the next Is years, after
which it probably will be necessary to
ask for new building.
The Library seeks to acquire copies
Of everything of value published each
year in the civilized world and as a
result. the collection of volumes and
pamphlets has rapidly overtaXed the
present available space. Last year
alone $4,000 new books and folios
were added.
Thirty Miles of Book Space.
The books alone. if placed on
single shelf in a straight line, would
extend for 81 miles, and the new
stacks alone contain 80 miles of book
space. In addition. the library con
tains 20 miles of shelving for bound
newspapers and magazines.
The cost of the new stack. it was
said at the Library will be s740. 900.
II will contain 129,624 linear feet
of l0-inch shelving and 30.492 feet
of 12-inch shelving. The two upper
most levels are to rise above the sur
rounding structure and will have ma
tural light and direct ventilation. The
higher of the two is to afford specially
protected quarters for rare books and
for a small reading room, containing
about 400 square feet of floor space,
in which these volumes can be con-
suited.

deck for "a, 900 books. many Of them
