He questioned the policy of libraries
where reading courses are recon-
mended along the ideas of the librarian
in charge rather than the lndlVldual
desires of readers generally.
The closing session also was featured
by the announcement that an honorary
membership in the association had been
bestowed on President Hoover in recog-
milton of his literary efforts and those
he put forth in collecting an extensive
personal war library.
The President is author of an au-
thoritative book on engineering, "Prin-

Hoover have translated "Agricola" from
the original latin, it was pointed out TO

assembled.

IN BOOKS LAUDED
Standardization of Reading
Courses for Library Patrons
AssaiIed by Keppel.

Warning against a general stand
ardization of reading courses for pa
irons of libraries was sounded before
the American Library Association,
which closed a six-day annual meeting
here at noon yesterday.
The taste of the individual reader
should not be made to conform to a
general pattern, according to F. P.
Keppel. president of the Carnegie Cor
poration of New York City
Mr.. Keppel declared that "once a
mans reading was his own business,
but now it seems to be everybody s
business. Numerous so-called literary

walls. together with various libraries.

Names of Cloud Formations.

The idea of giving names to various
kinds Of cloud formations was first
attempted in the early part of the
nineteenth century by man named
Lamarck, but his terms were not we'll
chosen. A simpler form was devised
about 1903 by Luke Howard, which
seemed to answer the purpose and was
generally accepted. Howard classified
clouds according to their appearance,
recognizing three primary types-cirrus,
cumulus and stratus-and four deriva-
tive, or compound forms-cirro-cumu
cirro-stratus. cumulo-stratus and cumu-
lo-cirro-stratus, or nimbus. Thus, he
defined seven varieties.

Is GAS VICTIMS
EXPECTED TO DIE
Doctors Say Others to Suffer
From Clinic Blast for
Many Years.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May 18-Fifteen of so
persons still in hospitals here fighting
against deadly effects of poison gases
they inhaled in the Cleveland clinic dis
aster, are not expected to recover. doc
tors said tonight. ard the others prob
ably will suffer lung troubles for years
to come The death toll stood at 124.
Mrs. Arthur Richards of Sharon, Pa,
died today three days after the blast.
Oxygen treatment was continued for
those in hospitals and some of them
were given TRANSMISSION of blood.
Investigations of the tragedy will con-
tinue Monday, Coroner A. j. Pearse said.
Much OF tooay's inquest was held in Sc
cret.
Enough Gas to Kill 100000.
Under direction of the coroner,
vivid picture of the beginning OF the
catastrophe was presented just before
the Sunday adjournment was taken. by
Buffery Boggs, Steamfltter, star witness
in the investigation.
Down in the charred basement store
room where fire in X-Ray films re-
leased the deadly gases Of the disaster
which chemists today said was enough
to have killed 100000 people-Boggs
re-enacted the opening scenes.
The steamfltter showed where he was
working when he observed smoke com
ing from the storage room. Il saw no
fire." he said.
Boggs showed the investigators then
and played it upon the smoldering
films only to find that the smoke in
creased. He told how he finally felt
himself becoming unconscious.
Despite all their investigation, how
ever, Coroner Pearse and the officials
who are working with him are partly
baffied by the case. They hope to have
final sum-up" Of the tragedy, how
ever, next week.
Cleveland Mourns.
