Readers Adviser. Public Library.

In the opening chapter of wash
ington Is Like That" w. M. Kip
linger makes the statement, Wash
ington is cross-section Of
America" So, by the same token,
the borrowers at the Public Library,
Eighth and K streets N. w., and its
branches may be called a represent
ative cros-section of the readers of
the Nation.
Resident Of every State and many
foreign countries use the library,
seeking information on subjects as
varied as the localities from which
they come. 1t would be difficult,
indeed, to record and classify every
interest expressed by this hetero-
geneous group. Many read for
pleasure alone, and find in books
diversion and relaxation from exact
ing duties. Students from the many
high schools and colleges in and
near the city use the library con-
stantly during the school year, and
ma there the necessary reference
volumes and textbooks to supplement
their courses. Numbers of teachers
use the sociology division, and find
it helps in lesson planning and the
newer books on methods of teaching
and child psychology. Then there
is large group of readers who use
the hbrary's resources to help
them to advance in their work.
This group reads for pleasure, too,
OF course, but with the added in
centive of gaining knowledge in
some particular field.
Running through all these cate
gories of readers, there is one dom
mating interest now-the war and
all 1t signifies to the civilian as

The Daffodil Affair, by Michael
Innes Dodd, Mead--Daffodil is
only a horse-a quiet sort of horse
at that-but he is far from being
the least interesting Of the many
unusual characters in this fast
moving mystery. In fact, this is a
strictly grade-A performance in
every way-in characterization, dra-
matte incident, suspense, solution.
The Bancock Murder Case, by
A. B. Cunningham Dutton)-A di-

sweater belt, a mirror, a broken

portant clues, and the assortment of
suspected killers is equally varie-
gated. Very good.

Coarse Gold

BY Ed,Din Corle. fDuttonJ
The desert is fast becoming the
accepted locale for books probing
mans soul, reality and the intrica-
cies OF Time and space. This au-
thor's great love of the vast spaces
gives him a very knowledgeable
background, and he presents it to
us here. The book is literally an
excursion through Time and Space
into the shadowy and uncertain
realm of Truth. Lest that sound a
bit frightening, it must be hastily
added that the readers who enjoyed
the same authors Solitaire" will
again find pungent, subtle wit and
most interesting story.
With refreshing narrative style,
Mr.. Corle recounts the stories of
Nevada ghost town named Coarse
Gold. Through the eyes and in
quisitive mind of old Chris Wick,
its last remaining citizen, the town
comes alive, as it was in 1892. when
gold made it mushroom In the
desert. But SO years later, only he
is there to celebrate it's anniversary.
AS Chris ponders all this and dips
into Time to explain the meaning
of the Truth he now seeks instead
of gold, a young scientist named
Conover appears, searching for
something that'll make gold seem
silly" AS Chris holds the key to
this new discovery, he is faced with
dilemma: Should he allow the
wheel to come full circle and start
a new gold rush? All is settled
satisfactorily, and how Chris finds
the Truth provides some provocative
and engaging reading. Mr.. Corle is
an excellent story-teller, and his
book is good, but probably its ap-
neal Is limited T w p ir
