It's What s on the Cover That Often Sells
Romance doesn't all lie between the covers of a hook. There is a goodly portion of it, plus a lot of psychology, wrapped up right in the cover. For it is the outside of the book that more often than: not “sells” reader. . “That's why you find everything from a pretty girl to a pretty baby on book jackets,” quips L. L. Dickerson. : He’s the guardian ‘of the 664,882 books in the city’s library system. He considers the covers so important that sometimes he puts in as much time studying the outside as the inside of a book.
Bright Colors Attract Eye
An ample sprinkling of the results are quickly picked out on the library shelves. Here and there, the eye is pulled to the bright red, green, blue or yellow covers among the drab grays and browns. The psychology of book covers is just an outgrowth, but an important one, of the problem of prebooks. It dates back to cH Toh century when books were bound .in leather or boards. Leather today is not only too expensive but deteriorates rapidly from dust and the smog and gas fumes of the modern city. It was about the turn of the century when library buckram first came into use. It is a cotton fabric, varnished or shellacked. There were originally the grays, the browns, the maroons and the dark greens, which grew -even duller. by constant handling. Eight or nine years ago the bright reds, greens and yellows began appearing on the shelves. Frequently they are not the original covers but the second bindings. A book comes into the library and its cover is removed and filed away.

MURPHY DONS ROBES AFTER ARMY ‘HITCH’
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18 (U. P.). —Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy has returned to inactive army status after three months of service with the army as a reserve officer. He attended infantry school at Ft. Benning, spent six weeks on
field maneuvers with the armored} force, and four weeks at the arm-|-
ored force school at Ft. Knox from which he graduated this week. Murphy, who conferred with Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall today, said he would imme-

in preparation for opening of the fall term on Oct. 5. He told friends that the American army is the mightiest army on earth.

Tastes Vary In Markers
Readers do use the strangest things for book marks. The binding department of the Central library isn’t surprised at anything. In one book they found a strip of bacon. In another, an all day sucker. One reader even left his old sock between the pages when he returned a novel. Letters and blotters are the usual markers. Hairpins and playing cards run close seconds. Money is' found frequently. One branch librarian -discovred $40 cached away'in a turned book. (The reader remembered—a bit belatedly.)
The book may have a nice, softcolored, cloth binding. It is put on the shelf and goes out to as "many as 15 readers before the covers grow loose and become dingy from handling. Then it finds its way to the library’s binding department. There it may be cleaned and put back in circulation for a while. If a page ‘is torn, onion skin is carefully cut to match the tear and

pasted on the reverse side of the page. If the cover is ‘cloth, it is washed carefully with a cloth dampened in mild suds, rinsed and dried. If the back is a varnished one, it gets a bath with a rag rung out of a solution of one part vinegar to three parts water. ~ If the book needs binding it goes out to a binding firm to get one of those attractive covers on which Mr. Dickerson insists. Incidentally, ‘those - pages always look so clean on the edges, after a second binding, because* about onefourth inch is trimmed from them.
Decorate the Bindings
When the book comes back to the library it is “titled” in gold leaf and often gets an added touch. The original jacket is taken from the file, the frontispiece carefully cut out, pasted on and then shellacked. - ‘The job is quite professional looking. In fact, often more attractive than the original. The second binding will last about 40 circulations. Mr. Dickerson is experimenting with a group of decorated buckrams—the gay bindings with special pictures or decorations printed right in the fabric. These are especially attractive to children. Incidentally, if one of the gang
says ‘read that one” to his pal, it.
is a sure bet that the youngster will take that recommendation rather than the librarian’s.

OF ARGENTINA
They’ re With Us, Frank | says, but Leaders Are Pro-Nazi. ~NEW YORK, Sept. 18 (U. P.).—
¥ Waldo Frank, author and lecturer
recently declared persona non grata in Argentina, said today in an article cabled to Colliers magazine from Chile that “appeasement tovern= ment is as dangerous as it yes= terday in Europe.” : ; “The SOY Srmiipent of wis, highly intelligent people is against us for two reasons,” called Frank, who was hurt seriously when attacked by several men in Buenos Aires the day after he was advised to leave.
“One, because it thinks we are E
going to lose; two, because it knows in its heart that if we win, all it stands for is sunk forever.” Frank urged Americans “to do
nothing to make it harder for the '
Argentine people to feel we are with them in their fight.” The Argentine people,” he said, “are with us in this fight.” +
