Demand Grows Rapidly as
Many Magazines and
Books Are Added.

Not all the younger generation Of
grade school age are preparing for
a joy-riding, gin-drinking youth by
reading dime novels and narrowing
cheap tales.
Have you a great big thick green
fairy book?" a very small boy of
School 9, East Vermont and David
son streets, asked Miss Grace Alex
ander, school librarian, when he met
her on the street.
The library at School is one of
the most popular and busy rooms at
the school. A year ago there were
about 300 volumes in the newly
opened library. Miss Alexander,
working out the plan of Miss Kate
Mason, principal, undertook to build
it up.
Contributions of pupils and
friends of the school has increased
it to 1,600 books and 400 magazines.
Science books rub elbows with
fairy tales, biography, poetry, and
all are III demand.
From to $50 a. m. any child
in the school may read in the L.
brary if his teacher has no special
task for him. Sometimes there are
fifty readers at that hour. There
is a second period of this kind from
to lis p. m.
The demand OF the children seems
to run in spurts, according to Miss
Alexander. One morning all will
wish Roosevelt books, the next
books about Switzerland or France.
After school on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, Miss Alex
ander and eight girls from Grade
ga are on duty to give out circu-
lating library books.
And it is all voluntary The
children never are compelled to use
the library.

election officials figured it out.
Then they remembered the case of

GAMBLER Dies;
I. LIPS LOCKED ON
DEATH BLAME
RothStein Believed Shot for
Failure to Pay; Link
Chicago Men.
By United Press

By United Press
. NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Arnold
Rothstein, one of the most famous
of the nations gamblers, died at
1920 today at Polytechnic hospital of
wounds received late Sunday.
The colored bits of pasteboard, by
which Rothstein earned fortune,
apparently turned against him and
claimed his life, for police still clung
to the theory today that he was shot
because he had refused to pay a
gambling debt of $4,000.
Two blood TRANSMISSION Monday
made physicians optomiStic of saving
RothStein'S life, but the bullets
which pierced his abdomen and the
loss of blood drained the vitality of
the gamblers powerful constitution.
Refused to Talk
The secret of RothStein'S quarrel
with creditor and the subsequent
shooting may have died with him,
for until the moment he died the
gambler weakly waved aside persons
who sought to learn the circum-
stances that led to his death.
From the time he was taken to
the hospital, Rothstein ignored
questions put to him by detectives,
surgeons, friends, and even his wife.
Monday, Nathan Raymond, a
thin, pallid man from San Fran
cisco, went to police headquarters
and gave information that proved
that the breaks had gone against
Rothstein in the last few months.
Raymond sat calmly in the po-
lice station and told of winning
100000 from RothStein In a stud
poker game. Rothstein did not
have the money to pay him, Ray
mond said, but they had remained
on friendly terms.
He had not worried about get
ting the money, Raymond said.
RohStein continued to lose.
Drop around to my Office Mon
day and I will pay you," he is said
to have told the men. II don't car
ry $4,000 in cash."
Apparently he didn't pay next
day, or Sunday when he was sum-
moned to the hotel for final
reckoning.
Rothstein was summoned to the
Park Central hotel Sunday night,
police believe, and was shot after
he had refused to make good the
debt, either because he did not
have the cash or because he be-
lieved the poker game had been
played with marked cards.
Chicago Often Linked
Raymond revealed that George
McManus, familiar figure on the
race tracks Of the country, played
in the game and lost $51 1000. Nc
Manus' overcoat was found in the
room from which RothStein emerged
after he was shot, but Raymond said
he could think of no reason why
NcNIanus would want to shoot Roth
stein.
The shooting of Rothstein came as
no surprise to those persons who are
familiar with the fortunes of
gamblers along Broadway He had
been marked for several weeks, they
said, because he had tried to impose
the code of New York gambling,
circles upon men from Chicago.
Rothstein's reputation was such
that he could lose enormous
amounts and pass out I. o. US,
which we're readily accepted by his
fellow gamblers. In Chicago cash
is paid on the spot.

PARTIES STAKE
CONGRESS RULE
ON DAYS VOTE
431 House Seats, 25 in
Senate to Be Filled
in Election.
BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The
millions of Americans who go to the
polls today will elect, besides a Presi-
dent and Vice-President, 431 con-
gressmen, thirty-five senators and
in most cases, their higehSt state
officials.
Maine chose its four congress-
men and one senator last Septem-
ber.
All of the other members of the
house will be selected at this cleo
ton for two-year terms.
Ordinarily only thirty-two men,
bers of the senate, one-third of the
body, would be elected this year, but
four unexpired terms are being
filled, bringing the total to thirty
five, with Names senator already
designated.
Congress Control Sought
The states holding senatorial
elections are: Arizona, California,
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Mimi
esota, Mississippi, Missouri, Mont
ana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey,
New Mexico, New York, North Da-
kota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
Vermont, Virginia, Washington,
West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wy
oming.
Ohio and New Mexico are electing
two senators each, one for a full
term an dthe other to fill seat left
vacant by death. Idaho also is
filling an unexpired term due to
the death of its junior senator.
Illinois is chooSin ga senator for the
seat to which Frank L. Smith was
elected. The senate refused to seat
him.
In three stateS-Virginia. MiSsis-
sippi and Florida-the Democratic
senatorial nominees are unoppoSed.
In all other states electing senators
there are two or more candidates
Both Republican and Democratic
parties have expended more than
the usual effort this year on con-
gressional and senatorial campaigns
Control of congress is regarded as
a prize equal in Importance to the
presidency.
G. o. P. Majority Forecast
Much of the 100000 expended
by the two parties on the campaign
has been used to help senatorial
and congressional candidates. Spe-
ialc committees with central head
quarters have worked exclusively for
congressional control.
Both sides predict substantial
gains in the house and senate.
Republicans now control the SEN
ate by scant margin of one vote.
They have forty-seven seats, the
Democrats forty-six, and the Farm
Labor party, one. Progressives hold
the balance of power and probably
will continue to do so after today's
election.
The present lineup in the house is
237 Republicans, 1876 Democrats, 2
Farmer-Laborites and l Socialist.
Most impartial forecaSters predict
the return of Republican majority.

GROWTH IN RETAIL
BUSINESS IS SEEN
Temporary Slump Held Like
Iy Immediately After EIec-
ton Regardless of Result.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, October 19.-Indica-
tions today point to the largest volume
of retail trade In the next two months
that this country has experienced since
the boom days of 1920. Then business
was overinfiated and unhealthy, To-
day it is based on sound economic con-
ditions, high purchasing power and the
keeneSt kind of competition, and Is,
therefore, thoroughly healthy.
There is likely to come a decided
slump Immediately after the election
no matter which candidate is success
full. But the supporting factors have
sufficient buoyancy to lift business back
to an extraordinary height in late No.
vember and December.
The satisfactory situation Of retail
trade, which, after all, the real barom-
eter of countrys prosperity, will not
apply to all sections alike. In some
parts of New England. notably New
Bedford and the New Hampshire and
Maine manufacturing Centers, the Situ-
alton ranges from fair to poor. Ger
tain parts of the South, hit by hurri-
canes and struck by unfavorable trade
conditions probably will not exceed
the records of 1927.
Some of the oil country still is re-
flecting the unfavorable situation of
that industry In other sections, how
ever, it is safe to predict higher
sales volume than year ago.
Steel mill activity is now 80 per cent
higher than at this time last year. The
demand is coming from widely varied
line of consumers and can be depended
on to continue, according to experienced
steel men. The automobile industry,
which absorbs more raw and semi
manufactured products than any other
line of endeavor, is hanging up new pro-
duction records for this season of the
year and will close the calendar period
with a terrific output. The head of the
Automobile Chamber of Commerce esti-
mates the number of cars to be pro-
duced at 4,610,000.
Building construction in spite of some
SetbackS owing to the diversion of funds
to the call money market, is running 6
to z per cent heavier than a year ago,
with corresponding absorption Of
building materials. The farmers are due
to make far more money than last sea-
son. The composite crop prospect now
is over 3 per cent higher than at this
time last year, the relatively low prices
Of some commodities being counterbal-
anced by high yields. Live stock is
counted on to yield producers z to 8
per cent more cash than in 1927.
There seems no sign of abatement in
the activity of the chemical works, auto
accessory plants, cigarette factories, the
production of electric power and of
manufactured gas, the machine tool
trade and copper production and fabri-
cation.
