LIBRARY PROBLEMS BROUGHT
TO CONFERENCE
Librarians Meet at Hampton to Dis
cuss Library Situation

The first conference of Negro il
brarians from various schools, colleges,
and public libraries, representing
twelve states, met at Hampton Instr
tute from March Is to Is, under the
direction of Miss Florence Rising Cur
tbs, director of the Library School at
Hampton Institute, to discuss prob
lens of library expansion and manage
ment
Topics on the program dealt with
library work from the choosing Of the
site, the materials for building and
euipment, the organization of the
staff. library service for children and
in the high school, to the place Of the
library in the community. Among the
speakers were Miss Ernestine Rose of
the Harlem Branch of the New York
City Public Library; Miss Mary E.
Hall, Girls High School, Brooklyn;
Mr.. Edward c. Williams, librarian Of
Howard University; Mr.. Herbert
Hirschberg, Ohio State Librarian;
Mrs. Harris and Mr.. Thomas Blue,
colored department Of the Louisville
Public Free Library.
At the close of the conference the
following decisions were reached:
That there is renewed interest on the
part of the cities in providing branches
of public libraries; that high school
branches cannot give adequate service
to many communities; in states where
libraries for colored citizens are dis
tinct from the public library system, it
would make for greater efficiency to
link up with the city library with its
many advantages; there is a great
need in Negro colleges today for bet
ter library service and to that end
there should be buildings provided and
an increase in the trained staff Mr.
Smith of the Rosenwald Fund, pre-
sented for discussion the subject,
Library Aid for Rural Communities
Through the Agency of the Rosenwald
School" 1t was a sentiment of the
conference according to Miss Curtis,
that this work might be carried on by
the cooperation of the Jeanes teach
ers and home-demonstration agents
and with the help Of state departments
of education.
A feature of the conference was a
talk by Miss Rose on Harlem" In
part she said: Harlem is inspiring
not so much for what it has achieved
although that is notable, but because
of its possibilities. 1t has been called
the mecca Of the new Negro think
we are saying a good deal that is trash
about the new Negro. The new Ne
gro is the old Negro relieved of GER
tain restrictions, expressing himself as
he would have before, if he had had
the opportunity. Harlem is the center
Of experiments. When you read the
sort of thing you do read about cab
arets and night life in Harlem, remem-
Der that it is the superficial life of any
group Of people. Over that is the
steady, growing, stabilizing life of the
majority of people, without which dc
not believe we could have a Countee
Cullen or Paul Robson today
When asked her opinion of Carl Var
Vechten's "Nigger Heaven" Mis-:
Rose said that adverse criticism has

are true, but they are not typical Incl

Find ThrouDs Light on
Old Times and Customs

Kitchen utensils of the Greeks and
Romans of the Fourth century B. c.,
have just come to light at Campus.
near one of the mouths of the Nile,
according to Prof. Ralph Van Deman
Magoffin, president of the Archeolog-
zeal Institute of America. Excavation
at temple near this site has yielded
up mementos or offerings left by thou
sands of pilgrims that make clear
many phases Of life in antiquity. The
collections include many kitchen uten-
sis and nearly complete set of
Greek and Roman weights. Many Of
them are tokens vowed by soldiers
who hoped for success in war. Some
are sling Shots" explained Doctor
Magoffin, while many are tiny rep
licas of the soldiers themselves on
elephant or horseback. Grain baskets
and camels seem to have been the
favorite gifts from merchants;
weights from looms are found in con-
siderable numbers. Many of the
pieces are unique, and their pubfica-
ton and exhibition will add much
more to our growing knowledge of
ancient times"

of Agriculturel
Onions, one of the leading vege-
table crops commonly held in storage,
may under certain conditions under
cool for a limited period below their
freezing points without freezing. says
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. Experiments conducted by
the department at its cold storage lab
oratory at the Arlington Experimental
Farm, Rosslyn, Va, show that the
average freezing point of onions of the
globe type is about 80 degrees f.
When known to be at a temperature
below their freezing point onions
should not be moved or handled
roughly as they are likely to freeze
Immediately. The freezing points and
other temperature records were deter
mined by the thermoelectrfc method.
The study was confined to northern
grown onions Of the globe type, since
the larger proportion Of this crop is
held in common storage in the north
ern states and therefore Is frequently

Proof That Ancients
Suffered as We Do

Sufferers from pyorrhoea, and kim
dred diseases Of modern civilization
are apt, even If they lose all their
teeth, to console themselves with the
thought that, at least, they have con-
tracted something original.
They think to themselves, perhaps:
"Well, Sir Walter Raleigh could not
have had this. My great-great grand
father, the admiral, did not suffer
from this. He may have had govt and
bronchitis, but never pyorrhoea or the
fashionable influenza"
But these modern sufferers have ap-
parently been congratulating them
selves unduly. There is nothing new
under the sun; certainly there is no
disease which has any true claims to
originality. Even rheumatoid ar
thrills is proved to be thousands of
years old. A mummy that goes back
to 1900 B. c. shows the existence of
this disease. Other mummies ex-
amined showed govt, tuberculosis and
pyorrhoea.-London Answers.

The Rarer Sort

Gen. Mason NJ. Patrick, chief of the
air service, said at the Army and
Navy club In Washington the other
day:
Young Colonel Lindbergh is re-

acter of his ambition. He's ambitious
to do better and better work, but he
cares nothing about money.
Now most of US are like Jones. A
man said to Jones one day:
Jones, what would you do if you
had s1,OO0,000?"

same as anybody else would do, of

Most Effective Means
to Control Corn BOrer

One of the most effective means
thus far discovered of controlling the
spread of the European corn borer is
to destroy the corn stalks and those
Of other plants in which the borers
hibernate before emerging in the
spring as moths. It is very necessary,
however, to cut the stalks as close to
the ground as possible, for it has been
determined that as cool fall weather
sets in the borers travel downward in
the stalk. 1t is necessary also to cut
the stalks as early as possible in order
to capture most of the borers in the
cut stalks and then kill them by en-
SLING, shredding the ears and stalks
or burning the stalks.

Rake Up and Burn All
Rubbish in Onion Patch

Raking up and burning all rubbish
In fhe onion patch or garden at this
time of year is more important in
insect control than any single measure
that may be taken next spring or next
summer, says f. e. Whitehead, ento-
mologist of the Idaho university ex-
tension service.
. eff weather conditions permit" Mr..
Whitehead says, ''this should be done
at once. Rake up and burn rubbish Of
every variety, burn all weeds along
fence rows and leave no place for the
overwintering insects to live. The
success of this method, like the sue
cess of other methods of insect con-
troll. depends upon thoroughness. The
cleanup campaign should be as thor
ough as possible.
This practice is particularly impor-
tant this year to growers of onions,
according to Mr.. Whitehead. Onion
thrips have been doing damage to the
Idaho crops for several years and
have become steadily worse.
