War Labor Board
To Make Request
For Wage Boosts

Washington, Sept. 10 (AP) =
There was little doubt today that
the War Labor Board as swiftly as
possible, would send direct or i'm
piled recommendations to the White
House that labor's wages be adjust
ed to compensate for increased liV-
ing costs.
It was evident that the board
would seek to present its report IN
advance Of Germany,S collapse.
That the report on the wage ques-
tiOn-already d prime election issue
would reach President Roosevelt
before November I was virtually
assured.
WLB Chairman Davis says a new
wage policy IS "ineVitable'. In 8
news conference yesterday he ex-
pressed belief that the situation
which is developing in the nationa
economy is eclipsing the 'littie
steel formula. He said that witt
V-day in Europe there will come
| super-abundance of labor. and ad,
! ded that when that situation Oc
ours you certainly are not going Il

during the height Of the war mar
riage hysteria, but it has no basis
in fact. Men like TO play around
with pretty Divorces. but they are
not strong on marrying them, for
men like the okay of their sex on
a woman and are apt to think that
the wife who couldn't get along with
one husband might not hit it off
with another. .---.-
Undeniably there will be a great
shortage of eligible men after the
war. Also there will be a large and
luscious crop of buds that have been
maturing during the past few years
just coming into full bloom who
will present plenty of competition
to wives So it will behoove every
woman who has good husband to
hang on to him, even If he has
ceased to look like the hero of her
girlish dreams.
And what is going to prevent di-
vorce from being the easy solution
of foolish war marriage will be the

Choosing a book for a child is a
difficult thing to dove don't have
specifications such as size and color
and style to guide us as we would
In selecting a dress or suit. We
have to be led by intangibles, such
as the personality of the recipient,
and the content of the book in rela-
ton to that personality. and in
tangibles are a little more difficult
to estimate. This business of judg-
ing book by its cover is more Sc
rious than one might suspect. Be-
cause when you're giving your of =
spring, or Cousin Nellie's child, a
gift of a book, you have an oppor-
tunity to play fairy godmother to
worthwhile that will become part of
him. Sounds grim-but it's fact!
In a previous article, we de-
scribed the facilities of the local
public libraries. But Washing
tonians are also blessed with having
the headquarters of national services
right in their home town. The Lii
brary of Congress receives, by copy
right, all of the American childrens
books, and hence has the most COM
plete array of these In the city. This
is. of course. a reference library, and
all reading must be done there, but
there is no limit to the time you may
peruse one book. The facilities are
available only to those over 16 years
of age. or to a child accompanied by
an adult. The library also has books
devoted to discussion Of childrens
reading.
The collection of books in this field
is located in the south stack, deck
Is. on the same level as the main
reading room. The library is open
Monday through Friday from 8 am
to 10 pm, 8 to 6 on Saturday and 2
to 10 on Sunday. In alcoves 4 and
5, right off the main reading room,
labeled Reference Service" are en-
ployes who can furnish information
and directions. These alcoves are
complete with bibliographies, and it
is sometimes possible to secure the
information one desires right there
without further searching.
The United States Office of Edu-
cation has fostered a photography,
