"HUCKLEBERRY FINN" MOST POP.
ULAR BOOK; CLASSICS ARE
MUCH IN DEMAND
"What kind of books do the sold-
iers read?" is a question often ask-
ed by those who would like to help
the War Library service in its search
for books for the cantonment librar-
ies.
From Camp Meade, Admiral, Md.,
comes an interesting answer to this
question. "In one day's circulation,"
said the librarian, "the following sub-
jects were represented: French hist-
ory, mechanics, topography and strat-
egy in war, self-propelled vehicles,
hand grenades, field entrenchments,
bridges, chemistry, physics, astrono-
my, geology, hydraulics, -electricity,
mediaeval history, calculus, civil en-
gineering, geography, American hist-
ory, surveying, material of construc-
tion, general history, masonry, and
concrete. About three-fourths of the
books taken out were non-fiction."
Non-fiction Works Popular
One camp librarian reports that
90 per cent of his circulation is non-
fiction, mostly technical, French, his-
torical, and war boks. F. L. D.
Goodrich, former reference librarian
of the University Library, and now in
charge of the cantonment library of
Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C., writes
that the men at his camp average
about 18 years of age, and desire books
of adventure. He also states that there
is a great demand for text-books in
English, particularly primers, as
many of the soldiers are of foreign
birth and can scarcely speak the
English language.
"Huckleberry Finn"
One of the most popular of fiction
works is Mark Twain's "Huckle-
berry Finn." Some of the camp li-
braries have found it very difficult to
meet the demand for it, and also for
"Tom Sawyer." Dickens' works are
much in demand in many of the
camps.
It is surprising to find that many
of the men read poetry; not only the
old favorites, but also the new poetry
as well. Anthologies are especially
in demand, as furnishing a pleasant
and stimulating variety. There were
two consecutive demands at one of
I the camp libraries for "Man and Sup-
erman," and "Heart Throbs."
Standard literature is also taking a
prominent place in the circulation of
the libraries. In one camp, one man
has started with Boswell's "Life of
Johnson," another is wrestling with
Bergson's "Creative Evolution," and
another .in the same camp has started
Gibbon, and is working hard to finish
it before he goes to France. Still
others are beginning courses of read-
ing in the various branches of Eng-
lish literature, under the direction
and guidance of the librarian.

War Gardens to
'Be Encouraged
With the advent of spring; members
of the local war gardens committee of
the Civic association are making plans
for the summer campaign. At a
meeting yesterday they decided to in-
vestigate through the city assessories
all persons who hold vacant property
available for planting and send them
a circular urging them to use all
available land for truck gardening.
If it is possible for them to enlist
among the amateur farmers they are
urged to turn their property over
temporarily to the Civic association
who will in turn allot it to all those
who make application for land at their
office. The guarantee is made that all
property will be restored status quo.
"The purpose of this venture is to in-
crease the production of truck vege-
tables by using land that otherwise
would remain unproductive. Last
year more than 50 acres were used in
this manner and this year the local
committee expect to stimulate local
planting to even a greater extent.
The war gardens committee has also
taken the management of the chil-
dren's gardens and will supply seeds
to any children who will promise to
use them for gardens which they keep

WOODROW WILSON'S HISTORY
TO HAVE FRENCH TRANSLATION
President Woodrow Wilson is to re-
ceive a pretty compliment from
France. His history of the American
people, which in style, says the Lon-
don Observer, is somewhere between
Freeman and John Richard Green, is
to be translated into French. It makes
five rather large volumes. There will
be an introduction by M. Emile Bou-
troux, who is a historian,' a philoso-
pher and a member of the French
academy. \

c Plans of the war correspondence
committee, appointed by the Engineer-
ing society, have been somewhat dis-
arranged by the action of the Board
of Regents who intend to take the
matter up in connection with the Uni-
versity as a whole. The committee
was originally appointed to obtain
the names of all former engineering
students now in the service, and to
keep these on file in the society rooms
in the Engineering building. Former
engineers were to be encouraged to
write in to the committee, and letters
of general interest were to have been
published by the society. In this way
it was planned to keep engineering
students now in the service in closer
touch with the college and their for-
mer classmates.
The Board of Regents are consider-'
ing the application of the plan to the
entire University, as well as to the
