establishing ami maintaining a public

The other matters to come up before

securing of the right of way for the pub

Daw-, llie contract with the Wabash
liailroail relating to demurrage on cnal
cars ami the disposal of trucks owned

"The public library has been support
ed by private and ju-t recently by public
fund- provided In the city council and
boaul of education, but it must be taken
over now by the community as a whole,"
mM Prof. Je'-e E. Wrench this noon
at the monthl) membership meeting of
the O'lumbia Commercial Club at the
Daniel Boone Taern. Thirty persons
attended the luncheon.
"The present educational system de
mancls a large number of reference
books." he continued. "The habit of
reading should be formed early in the
life of the children, and is one of the
best things to keep the youngsters out
cf mithief.
'The Iniversity library' is prepared for
minds of a more mature age and does not
deal with popular books. It can never
be adequate for the use of the townspeo
ple of Columbia. Our city library must
have more papers and magazines anil
Laziness publications. The public li
bra!) is only open a few hours in the
afternoon and more hours are badly
needed.
"Taxation is the only remedy for this
filojlion, and I know it is, a sore point

iwtwtigk heavily on the tax papers, of j

ed, "iai it is a reflection on us thai
e do not have an adequate public li
brary." This library was started by the wom

"Xow we come to the men for help. We
hand this infant over to you tmlay as a
grown-up. healthy child."
Tlir ;. hi mie more interested in
the public library than I am," said Mrs i
Itosa Ingles. "I am glad it has grown
to such proportions."
"1 am unanimous for' the public libra
ry," said Mrs. I- W. St. Clair-Mnss. "The
taxation argument ought to be easily
met. Fifty cents on $1,000 of property
is not much. The owner will spend tilt
much on magazines and books alone
which lie can find in the library."
The following motion was passed un
animously by the club: "The Commer
cial Club, believing the maintenance of
the public library to be indespensable to
the be-t interests of the community, de
sires to extend its full support to the
proposition to be Mibmitted to the voters

.Mrs. L. W. St. Clair-Moss appealed
for the council support of the library
movement. "By our inertia," she said,
"e have lost the opportunity to secure
a Carnegie Library building. For years
the little inadequate library known as
the Columbia Public Library has been
kept alive by the fostering care of the
Tuesday Club. This orphan has been the
ward for the last few months of the
City Council and the Columbia School
Board.
"It is time that Columbia expressed
her pf.-ition as a city of education and
culture by liaving a real public library.
The law permitting the establishment of
public library' at ,l,c mmy seat by
the levy of a half-mill tax on each dollar
of as"es(-d valuation gives Columbia the
opportunity to secure a library"

test concentration of German artillery
during the war opened up on the front
along Champagne in northern France. ,A
division of American soldiers were there
to help the French stem the tide of the
last and supreme effort of the Germans
to break through and reach Paris. In one
of the shallow trenches a group of Ameri
cans huddled to escape the terrific shell
fire. A monster shell came scream
ing in and landed in the group and what
had been a huddling mass of humanity
became a seething group of dead and
wounded.
The next night, when the bombardment
liail slackened, those who had been killed
by it were carried away to long, deep
trenches where they were burieiL Scat
tered equipment and a caved-in trench-
was all that was left to tell the tragedy.
Then came the armistice and the pe
riod oi inactivity wnen otlrcers and men
who were stationed near the battlefields
visited the old trenches and saw in detail
the things they could only glance at dur
ing the months of fighting. V captain
picked up a battered helmet that had Iain
through months of rain and sun. On the
strap was stenciled, "Charles J. Krum
rey, 168th Inf." With the thought that
the parents of the boy or perhaps the boy
himself would like to have the helmet he
took it with him and carried it back to
the United States.
Last summer he sent a letter to the
American Legion Weekly asking for in
formation leading to the location of the
parents of the boy. The letter was pub
lished and came to the attention of Mrs.
G. W. Lawhorn, 1207 University avenue,
who is president of the War Mothers in
Columbia. Colvin Law horn, her son, was
a member of this same regiment and had
at the time a book showing the names
and addresses of the men in this regi
ment who lost their lives during the war.
In this book was the name and photo
graph of Charles J. Krumrey, No. 100991,
Co. E. 168 Infantry'. His mother's name
was given as Mrs. G. Krumrey. Charles
City, Id.
Mrs. Lawhorn wrote at once to the cap
tain telling him of the address of the
boy's mother. A few days later she re
ceived the following letter from Sanford
Judson Dunaway, Seventieth Artillery, C.
A. C:
"I wish to thank you very kindly in
deed for your good letter of the 17th. I
have communicated with the American
Legion post at Charles Gty, la, who
have verified the information which you
so kindly sent me. I am now writing the
soldier's mother inquiring as to whether
or not she desires the helmet.
"Please accept my sincere appreciation
for the interest you have so willingly
manifested."

On the third floor of the Home Eco-

who are doing research work in viirimines.
L The specific problem under considera
tion is the effect of cooking upon vita-

ics department is alarmed at the nnssihlo
extinction of the rodent race that it
watches with such care the growth of the
rats, but babies and babv rats, the kind
that are reared in a nursery, are known
to thrive on the same diet.
