NEW MAILING SYSTEM SENDS
ABUNDANCE OF MAGAZINES
TO CAMPS
Washington, March 12.-Five hund-
red and fifty thousand books are es-
timated to have been sent to the
soldiers' libraries since the war libra-
ry service of the American Library'
association started its first campaign
according to a bulletin issued from
headquarters here.
The quality of these books is good.
Very few people have taken the op-
portunity to contribute old volumes
in bad condition and when such books
were given they were thrown away
by the librarians who received them.
Magazines were contributed in great
abundance. Many of these were to old
to be used, but even those that re-
mained were enough to satisfy the
officials.
Enjoy Foreign Publications.
The plan of sending magazines to
the men in service by placing a one-
cent stamp'upon them has been found
very popular, and camps were flooded
with this sort of mail. That the men
use these books and periodicals is ev-
ident from the librarians at various
camps. At Camp Sherman, there is
a large number of Syrians scattered
among the regiments. One of these
men happened to find a Syrian daily
published in New York, among the
camp's periodicals. He sat down, and
read it from end to end. Soon the
news spread, and now there is a dele-
agtion of Syrians at the library every
day, awaiting the coming of the paper
of their language.

MERCHANTS EXPECT
GOOD EASTER TRADE
That the Easter sales will com-
pare favorably with those of other
years, in spite of the war pressure,
was the consensus of opinion forward-
ed by a number of Ann Arbor business
men yesterday.
The relatively high prices and the
tendency towards economy, both due
strictly to the war, wil tend to re-
duce the purchase of luxuries and fin-
eries, one merchant stated, but never-
theless, a good Eatser business will be
enjoyed. Grocers and meat market
proprietors will average nearly the
same as last year, but due to the fol-
lowing of the policy of food conserva-
tion and household economies, a slight
falling off will be the result.
To purchase carefully and shrewdly
seems to be the general practice since
the war but nevertheless the public
demand still exists and sales'in gen-
eral will run close to the average of
other years.

The system used by a camp li-
brary is probably equivalent to the .
system used in a city 200,000. In
some camps, there are as many as 250
distributing stations. Besides the
central building there are branches
in the Y. M. C. A., Knights of Colum-
bus, and hospital branches.
These stations are hardly more
than boxes containing 50 or more vol-
umes. The boxes travel from one
station to another, so that every
branch may have all the books on
hand at some time. Book boxes are
designed so that the "honor system"
may bae used to avoid unnecessary
records of exchange of individual vol-
umes. The boxes are placed in com-
pany mess halls or barracks so that
the men can get the books at any
hour of the day.

GIRL TAKES OUT WARRANT
FOR ARREST OF ASSAILANT
One of the girls who was assaulted
on Washtenaw avenue last week ap-
paered in Judge Doty's court yester-
day morning and signed a warrant for
the arrest of David Anderson on a
charge of assault and battery. An-
derson pleaded not guilty and will ap-
pear for examination Monday morn-
ing.
The girls say they are certain that
Anderson is the man who made the
attacks on them and are prepared to
identify him in the examination. If
sufficient evidence is advanced at the
examination the defendant will appear
in the circuit court on the charge of
assault and battery. He is being held
on $100 bonds.

Sis the place. 113 S. Maln.-Adv.
Approximately 150 letters were sent
out by the Civic association yester-
day to- persons possessing lots not
being used, requesting permission to
use them by local people for garden
purposes. At some later date, there
is to be an extensive campaign for
workers. Last year more people vol-
unteered their serviices than there
was land to be used, and the food
raised in this manner lasted far in the
winter.
In order that the war gardens to
be planted in this city .be successful,
the members of the botanical depart-
ment of the University have offered
to test seeds to be planted. All seeds
brought to the New Science building
will be given a thlrrough test free of
charge. The seeds should be in good
containers, marked with the owner's
name, and taken between 4 and 5
o'clock on any afternoon except Sat-
urday and Sunday, to the greenhouse
of the Natural Science building.- One
week after leaving the seeds, the own-
ers may call for them and receive
report.
