READING ROOM OF PUBLIC LIBRARY CROWDED EVERY DAY
The public library Is an unfailing baromter. The thought of the community is registered there as accurately tha heighth of a fever Is shown on tha little thlngamajig that tha doctor places beneath the patient's coated tongue. Tho library is the weather cock atop the municipality. When life is pleasant and tranquil 1t rests In a dream of fiction. Put when winds blow and storms threaten it becomes a warning sign. TBIND Or THE T0TWTES Morning, afternoon and evening the reading roonts of tha Hammond public library are occupied these days ky quiet men In work clothes and colored shirts. They axe unemployed. They are serious. And the book for whloli there Is a great demand is one called "Hunger." by Knut Hansen. It Is gloomy fiction, but it is life and It fits tho mood of tha reader. It is a story of an unemployed man In seareh of work. It is picture of a hungry mother and helpless, appealing children. It is a protest against .society. The men who fill the reading rooms of the library each day turn the pages of current magazines with listless, callosed hands, but they read the books on sociology with manifest concentration. And the Interest In this great book of fivtlon so appropriately entitled "Hunger" is breathless. Stark necessity and tha fear of want have cr'ated a new and more serious trend of thought that is reflected in the patronage of the library. A seeond ect of "Tha Outline of History" has been riaced in circulation nt the librarv end tho demand for this abONE WAY TO OBTAIN EQUIPMENT Nearly $2,000 worth of machinery, enough to equip a machine shop, was recovered this morning with th ar rest of Howard Puntney, 5SS Indiana ava.
