LIBRARIAN IS FLOODED WITH GOOFY QUERIES Questions of All Kinds All in Day’s Work: What Do You Ask? Do you think thp mrrp answering of “who wrote what" and changing books for patrons constitute the duties of a city librarian? If you are contemplating a visit to that idyllic spot so beloved by Tommv Atkins and immortalized by Mr. Rudy aid Kipling, do you get in touch with some travel agency to inquire as to the best hotel accommodations to be obtained in Mandalay? You do not! You call the librarian. Or cio you think that you should start now the arduous “undergraduate ' training necessary to become a luncheon club president by learning a few alleged funny stories? The answer is the same. Many Ridiculous Queries. Those two queries: “Best hotels in Mandalay?” and “How to Introduce a speaker?” probably are among the most ridiculous of the questions fired more or less daily at the employes of Indianapolis public, libraries. Reports show that every minute of a librarian's day is occupied with such questions. Maybe you're a devotee cf Major Hoople and other comic strip characters that fit gayly across the public consciousness and have left their indelible imprint on contemporary culture. Want to find out more about the übiquitous major and the remainder of his tribe that give America its evening laugh? Call the Librarian! Call the librarian. Some of the other more choice subjects on which the librarian is asked to shed light are as follows: Location of fifteen obscure towns in South America. Inflation-history of greenbacks. Legal size of lettering for weight labels on bags. Promotion plans for the sale of foods and vegetables. Canadian distilleries. Chemical analysis of garbage. Fluctuation of the English pound in the last twenty years. Inexpensive recipes for rooking common and least expensive foods. Scientific means of detecting forgery. Oreat American editors. Das rates in Philadelphia.

By T'tiitrd I‘rmn VERSAILLES, France May 12. Nelson Morris of Chicago, who couldn’t compel his French wife, Jeanne Aubert, to give up her stage career, won at least a moral victory Thursday when the third chamber granted him a divorce. The divorce was granted on the grounds that she left her husband's residence and appeared on the stage against his will, which the court declared constituted “grave injuries.” The court rejected Mile. Aubert’s plea for a divorce, based on the contention that Morris could not make her happy.

Waltermire, who is facing grand jury action.
