Copies of these courses, to gether w>th the books recommended, are available. Two or more copies of the books, in most courses, are on a special shelf. Each course is a popular intro duction to its subject, followed by helpful comments on a few readable books that are well within the range of the average busy person. “Biology,” by Vernon Kellogg, is the first of the series. It is an eminent biologist's introduction to a fascinating field of science and his selection of the six best books for covering that wide field. “English Literatim',” “Ten Pi votal Figures of History,” and “Some Great American Books” are prepared by acknowledged author ities in their respective fields. Great Social Problem Howard Odum, author of the “ So ciology and Social Problems’’ course, states that “the one social problem is that of people living well and happily together.’’ With this interpretation of the subject, scarce ly anyone can deny an interest in it. The sixth booklet deals with “Conflicts in American Public Opiti ion," and is prepared by William Allen White and Walter K. Myer. “Should we clean up Mexico f” “Should we exclude the Japanese?’’ “Should we allow the radicals to agitate freely.’’’ are some of the issues raised by the authors, who recommend six books from which an understanding of these and similar questions may be gained. “Kars to Hear; a Guide for Mu sic Lovers,’’ gives in 3d pages a. background for a genuine under standing and appreciation of music. The course is written for the listen er, not the performer, and for the person who knows little about mu sic. 1 Hanicl Gregory Mason, distin guished as composer, teacher, and author of many popular books about music, is well qualified to tell oth ers how to listen to music. No Aladdin’s Lamp “Psychology is no Aladdin's lamp,’’ says Kverett Dean Martin in his rending course, "Psychology and Its l T se,“ “It is not for those who wish to get something for no thing,” but he goes on to show’ how psychology can be studied and used in such u way as to be of genuine value to the average man or wo man. He recommends seven books, one on behaviourism, one on psy choanalysis, one on social psychol ogy, one on psychology and the day's work, as well as three of a more general character. “Frontiers of Knowledge” by Jesse Lee Bennett is the latest read ing course in the series. “Two groups of people will be particularly attracted to this course,’’ says Miss Ferris. “The first will be those who have never had an opportunity to learn what history, science, art. philosophy and the rest are till about. The second will consist of those who have tin acquaintance with these subjects, but who want to understand more clearly the rela tion of one to the other and the relation of till of them to daily liv ing.' ’ The author gives file reader a birdseye view of the whole expanse of knowledge, and for a closer view and study of each field, lie has chosen and recommended a series— tea in nil. The library cannot guarantee, but will try to supply the courses and the recommended books in sufficient numbers to-meet all demands. Those in the community wjio covet a better understanding of the topics dealt with, and who want to know “how THE IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS to become what they want to be,’’ will profit from these reading courses which the library alms pro vided.

Crowds loitered around the prison until after midnight in the hope of seeing Trehitsch Lincoln arrive at the end of a pitiful journey from a monastery near Colombo, Ceylon, where he had sought retirement from the world following his con viction as a spy in the pay of Germany and subsequent exile from England. At H a. m. the loiterers hushed. Within the prison young Lincoln had mounted the scaffold to pay with his life for the Christmas eve murd er of Edward Richards who had sur prised the young soldier in the act of robbing his home.

No heavyweight championship match I■ in the making, and if there is one in i!)2ti it will be between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney. This much was learned following a brief visit here by Deinpse\ and the return from Florida of Tex Kiekn rd. •‘There was a chance in that of fei from Philadelphia to meet Wills this summer, but just when s< lions talk started the mayor came along and said there was no chance," Dempsey said. ‘‘l'll bet you ail tbe high power ed real estate that I have just seen j that Dempsey and Wills do not j meet, this year," Rickard said, and added, “but I wouldn't bet, that Dempsey and Tunney do not meet.' Rickard denied that he talked business with Tunney in Florida. It lias been understood for some time, however, that Rickard had reached an agreement with Demp sey and with Tunney and that his only remaining problem was to get tile Dempsey case straightened out before the boxing commission. Dempsey, it will be recalled, was ordered bv the commission to accept the challenge of Harry Wills but Dempsey met the order with a re quest that when he signed any kind of paper the commission would have to sign one that the fight could be held in New York. The champion refused to make any kind of comment on the com missioners personally or profession ally. ii,. intimated, however, that he would return to New York as soon as he finished his exhibition tour and that he might go before the commission and ask for permis sion to engage in two bouts' in New York before accepting the Wills ■hallenge.
