BOOK CIRCULATION
 SHOWS HUGE GAIN
Library Does FlOurishing Busi- ness, Miss Brown Reports

Business depression has been avoiding the library of the New Britain institute and during the last sumner each month saw between 2,000 to 5000 increase in the num- ,.ber of books circulated over those 3orrowed during the same months of 1929, according to Miss Greta Brown, librarian. Since circulation usually falls off during the summer months because of outdoor activi- ties and vacations, the record is considered a remarkable one.
 Joys of Prints is the title of a special shelf of books being fea- tured at the library at the present time. Magazines and Newspapers O, Today" (05O-C15) by Gladys Campbell and Russell Thomas, in structors in English in the Univer- sity of Chicago, deals with the prob lens of the magazine and news paper editor. Using magazines for reference, the subject of one of the chapters, would prove of interest to students dealing with current events Most interesting is a picture of the front page of New York news paper announcing the assassination o: President Lincoln. There are only two one-column headlines at the top of the page. One, "IMPOR- TANT' tells of the shooting of Lin coin and the other, ''The Rebels, y deals with conditions in the south. In contrast with the glaring head lines that would be used today for the same news the style of years ago is quaint and humorous.
 Literary devotees will be interest ed in Back Number" (S01:W44 by "Stet." The book is volume of essays on Meredith, Kipling. Giss- ing. Froude and others.
 How to Criticize Books" (S01: J712) by Llewellyn Jones, literary editor of the Chicago Evening Post, contains meaty chapters on Turn ing the Sentence,'' How and Why Books are Published" Criticism and Reviewing" and How to Col lect Facts and Prepare Papers" as
 
 followers of the literary craft.
 If you are an average" person the History of Button Hill by Cor don Stoweh will make more than the usual impression. It is a pro- trait of the life of "the ordinary fellow in the middle, the man in the little suburban villa, the man whose
 
 cords that he was "amazed' when the book was accepted by the first publisher to whom it was sent. Readers will not be able to share this amazement for the story IS one of the best novels written in re- cent years. From the time Button Hill starts, out to be a suburb that is different until it becomes the scene of an exodus on the part of those who desire more exclusive locale, it's history is told in man. ner that is entirely fascinating.
 Readers of "The Private Life of Helen of Troy" and "Galahad' will not be disappointed in John Err slline's Uncle Sam; In the Eyes of His Family" The book is an ale gory plus an intutive character study. Erskine has tried to express the human side of the mythical Uncle who bears upon his shoulders the burden of representing the giant lnongrel among nations, the melting pot out of which new type is developing.

men obtained $500 from the strong box
and made their getaway without leav-
ing any clues Of their identity early
today.
The burglars used rubber gloves and
no fngerprintS could be found ON the
safe by detectives Of the Identification
Bureau.

across the bottom Of the door and tore
on the lower half.
The safe was dragged to the center
OF the moor in plain view of the Four
teenth street entrance and the door
battered in with sledge hammer, The
sledge, brace and bit, tire irons and a

by the burglars. None Of the tools bore

tions are in the hands Of police.

1t is Mr.. Hoover's hope to devote the

not new to him and. although, he does
not know them as we'll as he does his

pates filling his bag without any great
difficulty. The last time Mr.. Hoover
visited this preserve was during the last

accompanied President Hoover TO the

Mr.. Hoover will start back for WASH
ington during the forenoon Sunday,
probably arriving at the White House
at or 6 o'clock in the afternoon. The
progress of this 2l0-mile motor ride
will depend largely upon the size of
the crowd encountered upon the high
