TRAVELING LIBRRAY S PROVING POPULAR K 1 I Oregon Civic League Listens to Chicago Botanist. WATER WEED UTILIZED Work Begun RoTore Armistice Now Carried On to Benefit People in Time of Peace. How some of the great problems of tlie war relative to production and manufacturing were solved as the re sult of knowledge possessed by the impractical" students and the theor ists of the country were explained in an address by Dr. John Merle Coulter, head of the department of botany of the University of Chicago, delivered yesterday at the regular weekly luncheon of the Oregon Civic league at the Jienson hotel. lr. Coulter is on a trip through the Pacific coast region and was the guest of Reed college yesterday, delivering'ttie com mencement address at the college yesterday morning. Time after time during the war it was necessary for the men who were directing the various branches of war activities to call upon the botanists, biologists, chemists and other men of scjence to furnish them with infor mation needed to further war work, Mr. Coulter stated, in speaking before the civic league. In the matter of finding substitutes for certain raw materials ordinarily imported from Kufopp, or for which the war demand had greatly exceeded the normal sup ply, the men of science did particu larly important work. Water "Weed ftl In War. Among the works of this nature Fciompiished perhaps the most im portant named by the speaker was that of developing the water hya cinth, a weed which grows in great profusion in Florida and other south ern states, as a substitute for cotton in the making of explosives. A plant and soil survey, -to determine methods of Tgrcater and . more varied produc tion was also hegun by the botanists a'lid so important was the work that it is being carried on furthertat the present time. '' When I think of the way in which this country goes on year after year producing the same plants 1 come to the conclusion that we are more nar row than were the Puritans of years gone by," be said. Work of ItolaniHtM Outlined. "We have, no conception of the wealth of raw materials in our varied plant life. We are striving now to prepare data which will show what plants can be produced to best ad vantage in every section of the coun try, and we are ' also working along the lines of drou t h-resiat i ng and disease-resisting plants, the develop ment of which has been rapid during the last few years." This meeting of the Oregon Civic league was the last of the season iiud the league adjourned to meet again in the fall. It was announced, however, that special luncheons might be held during the summer if pro g-raimnes of sufficient interest to warrant them could be arranged. When such luncheons are planned special notices will be sent out to all members. 1 : f'fcoSf' 2pi II ...

IlKl.OW HOW THE HOOKS ARK LO.iDKD Residents of outlying districts who are unable to go to the different li braries are having the opportunity to get books through a personal de livery service inaugurated two weeks ago by the Central .ibraryi. Miss Anna Mulheron, head of the school depart ment of the library, and Miss Nelly Fox, of the branch department, make tlie deliveries in a light car which has been fitted up v.-ith racks hold ing 150 books. Miss Fox takes the car. Tuesdays to Gilbert, Lents and Pleasant Valley, where stops are made for one hour at the local com munity center, generally a grocery store. Miss Mulheron on Thursday covers Capitol Hill. Multnomah, Maplewood and West Portland. The service was begun to give school children en opportunity to con tinue their reading through the sum mer and grownups a chance to im prove themselves and properly use theii time. When present accommodations for the delivery of books become inade quate, it is likely that the library board will be asked to purchase a truck with room for a 1000 or more volumes. Cars of this description have been used at Hagerstown, Md and Hibbing, Minn., for several year. The idea is a novel one for Port land and will greatly extend the scope of the library. " Both Miss Mulheron and Miss Fox suggested the plan. Miss Mulheron thinking of reaching the children and the latter, older folks. The result was a combination of the two, and books for both young and old are carried. WATTS EXCAVATOR. Announcement of the invention of an improved excavator by a Port land man, M. E.
