LIBRARIES JOIN BOND CAMPAIGN

Act as Booking Agency For Distribution of

Sound Films,

Sale of war bonds during the sixth war loan drive will be aided by the Indianapolis public library and most other public libraries throughout the state in two ways, Harold F. Brigham, director of the Indiana state library, announced today. The libraries will compete with one another to sell the largest number of bonds and will also act as a booking agency for the distribution of sound films for showings before local groups. Combat scenes from the many battlefronts on which ponds also fight are included in the 16mm films which are distributed through

the treasury department.

Manuscripts Prizes

The libraries are competing for the award of original manuscripts by outstanding living authors. Included in the prize list are “My

Friend Flicka” by Mary O'Hara, “People On Our Side” by Edgar Snow, “Seven Sins” by Sax Rohmer,

“Jezebel the Jeep” by Fairfax Downey and Glenn 8. Warner's “Book for Beys.”

Pointing up the Thanksgiving day bombing of Tokyo, William H. Trimble, county chairman of the war finance committee, said “The heavy blows rained from. the sky on. the Japanese capital are only a sample of the heavier ones yet to come, However, this intensification of the attack means that the rate of bond purchasing must be increased to match the increased tempo of the war operations.” - The state-wide library war bond campaign is jointly sponsored by the Indiana Library association and the Indiana Library Trustees’ association. Miss Mary Jo Woods of the Inidanapolis public library and Mrs, Helen Rogers, librarian with the state department of public welfare, are co-chairmen,

SONJA HENIE SHOW TOPS ALL RECORDS

Every previous attendance record established at the Coliseum by Sonja Henie’s ice show has been broken by this year's performance, Dick Miller, manager of the Coliseum, reported today. He révealed that every show has played to an audience 10 to 15 per cent greater than shows on comparable days last year. which established the previous all-time high. Last night, for the first time this season, the show played to a capa~ city audience of 11,000, forcing the management not only to hang out the standing-room-only sign but also to turn prospective customers away. Mr, Miller was enthusiastic about two. things: The large out-of-town attendance and the success 6f the novel revolving stage used for the first time this year, The show will close after performances tonight and tomorrow night.

CONSCRIPTION FIGHT GROWS IN CANABA

OTTAWA, Nov. 25 (U, P.),—The future of Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King's government Rung in the balance today as Frenchspeaking members of his Liberal party threatened organized revolt in commons over a cabinet order sending. 16,000 conscripted Canadians into combat overseas, The political storm broke when King approved an order-in-council for limited compulsory conscription of home guard forces for overseas duty in the European theater. This was an abrupt reversal of the government's former = policy which had the support of Frenchspeaking party backers of King. So far only Canadian volunteers have ‘been sent overseas,

Date Back t

By MILDRED KOSCHMANN

More than 800 -children and grown-ups, too, have spent many heurs in the children's department of the Central library this week, intrigued by Mother Goose rhymes and tales of Robinson Crusoe, Tom Thumb, The Butterfly’s Ball and Little Goody Two Shoes,

The drawing card is Elisabeth Ball's collection of early children's books which will be on exhibit at

from those which will fill Santa's bag this Christmas, but they are priceless for the majority of them are originals, Some of them date back to the 15th century.

Some Found Abroad

For more than 25 years she has been gathering these rare books, buying some of them in England and France and adding them to her collection of approximately 10,000 children’s books in her Muncie home,

Most interest in the display has been aroused by the Horn-book, the earliest knéwn lesson book and the first made for children themselves to handle. It consisted of a piece of wood cut in the shape of a paddie with a lesson pasted on one side and was called a Horn-book because the printed page was covered with a thin layer of transparent horn “to save from fingers wet the letters fair.”

In earliest specimens, which date back to colonial America, the lesson sheet was of parchment and hand-written or printed from type with the alphabet in large and small letters. The Lord's Prayer

Early Primer Shown

Practically the only textbook in the colonies for 100 years, “The New England Primer,” also is_enclosed in the glass cases at the library, The primer was so religious in its teachings that it was called “The Little Bible of New England.” The majority of the books in the display are very tiny, some of them less than two inches wide and containing five or six pages. They are paper-bound and the pictures are hand-painted. In “The. Infant's Library” are 15 books, just one and three-quarters inches wide and two and one-fourth inches long. Printed and sold by John Marshall in London, they contain stories of animals, boats, windmills, wagons, ships, kings and queens and games, One of the series, housed in a wooden library only eight inches high, is a short-history of England in 63 pages, giving a descriptyon of all the kings and queens of the country and their time of reign. To the children of today one of the 15 books seemed a little strange. Printed under a picture of a child swinging was the warning: “This is a very dangerous play and very improper for young ladies.” Although many parents are buying animated books for Christmas next month, thinking them the latest thing in children's books, the same kind of book is in the Ball exhibit, It's called “A Visit to the Exhibition,” showing.eight changeable pictures. First a picture of a glass vase is seen. Then, just pull a tab and there's a picture of how the vases are made,

Chapbooks Included
