D. D.C.LIBRARIAN
CITES NEED FOR
LARGER FUNDS
Book Supply Low, Says
Dr., BOWernan

Operating a public library, with
branches housed in a b a andone d
schools and police stations, isn't
as easy as it looks, according to
DR.. George Bowerman, public
librarian.
DR.. Bowerman, who for the last
81 years has striven to get Con-
gress to appropriate sufficient
funds so that Washington might
have new main library building,
today discussed some Of the prob
lems confronting him.
BOUGHT BOOKS
At one time, the educator said
as civic and club women inspected
the Central Branch at Seventh
and K Streets Northwest to see
for themselves how crowded con-
ditions were, the library was able
to keep the $4,000 it took in every
year from folks who kept books
overtime. The money was used to
buy additional books.
There are only, DR.. Bowerman
said, 100000 books in the five
major and five minor branches.
And Congress allows $65,000 for
new purchases. With more than
100000 persons in the District
even though only half that number
may demand books-the supply is
always low.
Children'S books, especially fairy
tales, are at a premium, the edu-
Gator said,
MAILING LIST
Another headache-though the
educator was too polite to put it
that way-is when there's no
money for mailing lists or postage.
How, DR.. Bowerman wanted to

cards when you haven't postage?
Asked how many books were
stolen each year, DR.. BoWerman
groaned.
IF told you," he said, Con
gress would claim we weren't
guarding our books"
If he could have one main
building, centrally located, II
would solve the problem for a
few years anyway, he declared.
MAIN LIBRARY
A main library site, rec
commended by Frederick A. Del
ano, chairman of the Park and
Planning Commission, is part OF
the municipal center, and, oppo
site the Mellon Gallery, would be
so centrally located as to be &C
cessible to readers from all over
the city.
Asked how much it would cost
the white-haired educator replied
"Only three and a half mil
lion dollars-the cost Of certain
high schools here!"

it requires more attention.
For instance, the amount of
food required by a dog in the
summer is not usually as much
as in other seasons of the year.
This is due to the fact that in
summer dogs are affected by the
intense heat and lie about more
and do not obtain a sufficient
amount of exercise. For this
reason, they do not require the
same amount Of bodybuilding
vitamins as they do in winter
months.
Although a few may not agree
with me, believe that diet Of
raw or boiled cooked lean meat
is just as advisable in July as
in January. A locally prepared
dog food which is approximately
rs per cent lean meat and con-
tains other food products which
have the necessary body-build-
ing vitamins is available to those
living in Washington and in
nearby Maryland and Virginia.
I believe 1t to be a good diet
for the average dog, particularly
as 1t contains no preSerVatives
of any kind which I believe to
be harmful to certain digestive
organs. Cornbread. oatmeal and
other such heating foods should,
however, be eliminated during
the hot weather.
AS with humans, cool water
is the great delight of dogs in
the summer time. and q plenti-
full supply Of clean water should
always be kept for them in q
cool, clean spot and should be
changed at least twice a day
to keep it eliminated from
blowing dust.
At all times, keep food and
water dishes clean, because
HleaS and flies at this time Of
the year are very prevalent and

One Of the best ways to
keep flies, fleas and other YER
min away is to provide a
darkened, cool kennel Sprinkled
with kerosene or some other
disinfectant. Closely screened
quarters, of course, make the
ideal dog house. If you are
going away during the summer
and wish to make every pro
vision for the good care Of your
dog, I would suggest that you
instruct those with whom you
leave your pet to apply a very
small quantity Of balsam Of
tar every second day to his ears
in order that he will not be pes
tered with vermin. Another
preparation. which many vet.
erinarianS also consider useful,
Is a mixture of camphor, castor
oil and citronella, and should
be applied daily.
Dogs should be bathed more
frequently in very hot weather
and kept out of drafts until the
coat is thoroughly dry. They
should be brushed at least once
a day as this lessons the ten
dency toward skin ailments. If
you take them with you on your
vacation, nothing is better ex-
ercise or more cooling. if not
oVerdone, than allowing them to
swim in river, creek. bay or
ocean. However, as salt water
has a drying effect upon their
coats, a rinse of fresh water is
advised whenever possible.
