LIBRARIES FOR
FARMERS SHOW
BIG INCREASE
Concerted Effort Carried on
to Give Books to Rural
DWeIIers.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3.-The
farm family of a generation ago
whose reading matter consisted of a
Bible, a McGuffey's reader, an al
manac and perhaps a newspaper, is
only a quaint, almost primitive,
memory today. The movement for
the establishment of public libraries
has spread out OF. the cities and
into rural America until hardly a
village exists that can not provide
a well selected collection of books of
fiction and general interest.
Library commissions Of thirty
eight states now stand ready to con-
tribute money to the book funds for
these libraries which serve rural
areas, and to assign expert advisers
to assist in establishing reading
rooms and lending systems, accord
ing to Eugenia Wallace, who, in
the current issue of the Farm Jour-
nal, relates the growth of the move
ment.
But, even more than the library
commissions or the individual eff
forts of various philanthropists, it
is the farm women themselves, who
are just beginning to realize the
power of organized effort, who are
bringing books into rural homes.
BY forming county clubs, farm
women in hundreds of rural centers
are providing organized support for
libraries. In many cases, they be-
gin with the nucleus of a reading
room located in the village or town
which serves as their shopping cen

EX-GOVERNOR
PLANS VOYAGE
TO SOUTH SEAS
Clifford PinChot Will Sail on
Expedition to Pacific
Isles.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Boy-
hood dreams of romantic expedi-
ton among the remote and romantic
islands of the South Seas will soon
be realized by Clifford Pinchot. And
his son, at the age of Is, looks for
ward to the voyage with the same
youthful imagination which pos
sessed the father, now 81 years old.
The Pinchots, father, mother and
son, will sail away in March on a
combined scientific and vacation
voyage, which will take them to
many remote Pacific islands.
On the schooner Mary P, which
was once the Guilty Sark, but was
renamed by Pinchot for his mother,
they expect to return with val
liable collection of rare birds, fish,
marine mammals and marine YER
terbrates and insects for American
museums.
This is the roster of the expedi-
ton:
Clifford Pinchot, the famous con-
servationist and former Governor of
Pennsylvania.
Mrs. Cornelia Bruce Pinchot, his
wife, who ran for congress last year.
Clifford Bryce Pinchot, their 13-
year-old son.

Usher in M0zie Shoe Is
Headed for High Places

NEW YORK, March 8.-When
Horatio Alger was writing his best
sellers, the movies were unknown,
thereby depriving Hcratio of some
high-class material. Evelyn Hyde
is 2 striking case il point.
A year or so ago, Miss Hyde was
an usher in a New York theater,
with only dreams of fame that
might be hers. But a stage director
noticed her, watched her walk, lis
tened to her talk, and gave her the
big chance.
He coached her carefully, and now
both fame and fortune are beckon-
ing to her. The little girl usher is
ready to appear on the other side
of the footlights and movie observ-
ers who know say she's destined to
go far.
Which amply illustrates that Ho-
ratio AIger didn't get all the breaks.
