ming of the war, the increase was par
ticularly noticeable, especially with de-
mands for foreign papers"
Like most public places in Washing
ton, the reading room is most crowded
on Sundays, and 1t is often hard to find
a seat
Mrs. Armitage said there are, in ad-
dition to the majority who seek their
hometown papers, many who come for
research Some persons, in Washington
for only short time, have one specific
thing to look up, and make a special
effort to go to the reading room for that
purpose.
AS result Of the war, Mrs. Armitage
said there are large demands by persons
who have been told Of some serviceman's
picture in past issue. 1t is simple,
and almost always successful, Job for
the attendants to locate these publica-
tions.
A lanky man waited impatiently. Mrs.
Armitage patiently listened to his en-
phatic demand for an unheard-of paper
in Arkansas. No, she was sorry, they
didn't have that paper. Disgruntled and
amazed, he stalked away
She turned to explain that some per-

sons, like the lanky man, can hardly
believe that their hometown paper,
with circulation OF $50, is not waiting
for them on a convenient stack.
why, he is probably the only one who
would ever call for that paper!" Mrs.
Armitage declared
Photostatic Copies.
One Of the large jobs Of the periodical
division Is searching for somewhat obso-
lete pictures and articles Mr.. Parsons
was explaining this phase OF the diyi-
sions work. He was interrupted by
phone call
That was just such an order" he said
when he had hung up. Some one wants
a picture of Gen. Pershing with a Civil
War veteran from 1921 Star. Wen
make a photostatic copy for them"
And he was of to explain the mys-
teries Of photostatic copies and micro
films. The principle of each, it seems,
is the photographing OF the printed
page or picture, and Is similar to the
current V-mail process Beyond the
stage Of experimentation, Mr.. Parsons
said. the process OF micro filming is
only few years old and is still in the

stage OF testing. Its marvel were tan
gibly disclosed by small box, not over
1x3x3 inches on his desk. In 1t, he said,
were stored months issues of large
daily newspaper. The same papers, in
their original woodpulp form, would &C.

Probably the greatest virtue of these
films, Mr.. Parsons thinks is their ten
dency toward eternity. Our present
woodpulp papers, inferior to the papers
made from rags in the 1800s, disinte-
CRATE within 50 years. These micro
filmed papers might be available to the
research minded person Of the year 2044.
The Library now subscribes to 20 daily
micro-fllmed newspapers A special
micro photo reading room is main
tanned in the Library, and is furnished
with two projectors.
Seventeen Thousand Papers.
The question naturally arises as to
how the Library gets 1900 newspapers
and magazines regularly. Most of them
are gifts, Mr.. Parsons acknowledged, but
some are copyrighted-meaning the Lii
brary is entitled to the first two copies
OF each issue-and there are also few
which are subscriptions.
This unique reading room covers the
south end Of the Library basement 1t
is diflcult to miss the Library, as it
faces the east side Of the Capitol On
week days, the reading room is open
from am. to 10 pm; on Saturdays,
from am. to 6 pm, and on Sundays,
from 2 pm. to 10 pm.
The lonely girl from Bozeman heard
about the reading room from her board
nig-house friend. BY word Of mouth,
many other newcomers to Washington
have learned of the collection, and have
sought the comfort Of the familiarity

or States.

papers are retained for one month, she
said.
Papers which are most frequently re-
quested are placed on stacks, designated
by State names and arranged around
the edge of the reading room. New
York furnishes the largest number of
papers from any one State-103. Idaho
and Nevada are represented by only
three papers each.
Most Of the foreign periodicals are
flown into this country. AS soon as
the war started, the Axis countries
papers dropped, but there are still few
that come from Germany and Japan.
Often important knowledge Is cleaned
from these publications. and few per-
sons are allowed to see them. One must
have special permit, Mr. Parsons said,
to use these papers of foreign birth.
The Library receives more than dozen
German newspapers which are still be-
ing published in this country
In the last year, some 292 900 copies
OF newspapers and magazines were used
by readers, Mr. Parsons said

Building Up New Quinine

But unless the war lasts for another
half dozen years, it will be over long
before these plantations are yielding

This raises the international issue Of
whether the United States Government
means to protect this new source Of the
vital drug, or let it be abandoned. If
the good-neighbor policy means any,
thing more than wartime expediency,
Latin American quinine will not be
abandoned
And yet to protect it will mean break
ing the back of the entrenched and
highly profitable Dutch quinine monop-
oily. Thus, Washington will have to
choose between the interests Of an
ally, the Netherlands, and the interests
of the good neighbor countries.
To judge from the present temper
OF Washington officials, the choice will

new plantations, close enough not to
be endangered by another Pacific war.

In Latin America bring back POIGNANT
memories of an Ecuadorean or Vene-

Col. Arthur Fischer, U. S. A.. has

develop cinchona plantations under the
United States flag. Years ago, flouting
Dutch opposition, he smuggled some

These seeds eventually produced the
