This announcement was made here to day by Harry G. Doak. of Washington, field director and special representa tive of Secretary of War Baker for the American Library Association in the campaign to obtain adequate read ing matter for the gigantic Army. The 35,000 books will be represented In units of il a book, which will take each volume through three years of wear and replace it once if necessary during that period. Books to Carry Donors' Xinici, If a plan just broached to Mr. Baker by Mr. Doak from here by telegraph goes through, every book will carry the name of 'the individual who gave the dollar, and there is a chance for 35,000 Oregonians or as many more as wish to have their names attached to books which will be read by the thousands of soldiers. Already 600,000 gift books have been given, Mr. Doak says, but from now on it is wished to purchase the rest to ac quire well-balanced libraries. Oregon will be in the Northwest di vision and Mr. Doak was notified today that J. I- Jennings, of Seattle, has ac cepted the directorship of that division to head the campaign in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. He will have complete charge of the programme for war library work from September 24 to 29, when the $1,000,000 needed will be raised. The money will be raised with a ratio of 5 per cent of the population, and Oregon is estimated as having 700, 000 people or more. Campaign in Orfgon Planned. Mr. Doak was in conference with Miss Cornelia Marvin, State Librarian, today, making preliminary arrange ments for the big campaign. Libra rians in the public libraries of the state will have much to do with arranging the local campaigns in the Oregon cities. "There will be no overhead expense to the work," said Mr. Doak. "The ex penses of the campaign will be cared for by private contribution or the sac rifices of the workers themselves. Every dollar of the $1,000,000 raised will go for the purchase of books." Mr. Doak left for Seattle tonight to confer with Mr. Jennings. He will be fn Portland to speak at the opening day of the meeting of the Pacific North west Library Association, to be held there. iiiiffliiiiiiiiiisifflmiil aMul 1 1 ll Itillllll llllT'i5?.????H??; JJTT-Pl llllllllllllllllli LX loaooooaooesooeoeoooccsoooooosasaoi ATTRACTIVE PORTLAND GIRL WHOSE WEDDING LAST WEEK SURPRISED HER MANY FRIENDS.

TrainincThe ' CHILD BV WILLIAM BYRON PORBUSH.PMU MRE children get spanked for being tired than for any other one rea son. And yet fatigue is not a sin but a disease. The Infection Is not of the devil, but of a poison. The physical signs are not hard to detect. In babies, clenched fists held close to sleepy eyes and an Irritated cry With older emiaren, tensity or tne muscles, restlessness, lrrltaDimy and muggy spirits. With young people, fatigue may be discovered not so much by symptoms as by its effects. Fatigue interferes with the will to any vigorous action. The mind sets tired as the body does. We think it strange that our children never seem to show weariness at play, but only when they are asked to work. We for get that we seldom ask them to work until after they have become exhausted by play. I have seen a child too tired to undertake anything new, even get ting off his clothes. Fatigue makes the child unable to do any fine work. He stumbles when he walks. He spills whatever he carries. Whatever he tries to mend breaks. Fatigue makes the child unable to focus attention. He roams about the house because he is literally too tired to sit still. He does not notice when he is called, and he at once forgets what he is told. We know that a child often is too tired to start anything, but it is equally true that he may become too tired to stop. The fatigued child is not easily pleased. He teases others apparently because he enjoys discomfort. He craves an argument, and he does not intend to become convinced. This fact suggests where to look for the cause. He has not been abused, though he thinks so. He has not failed, though he asserts he can never suc ceed. He is not unloved, though he is not lovable. So do not look for a men tal cause, but a physical one. Don't listen to his tongue, look at it. Just now It may be the heat. It may be bad air. It may be broken sleep or rest. In summertime It Is often the lack of a rest-space just after the noonday meal. It may be due to drudgery, even of play. It may be be cause of uneven growth. Perhaps he has "growing pains." Treat fatigue like an Illness. Don't whip him. Don't feed him. Give him a rest. Often the difficulty Is to get a tired child to take a rest, for he feels rest less. Such children have often formed the habit of keying themselves up with tea and -coffee, or with those popular soda fountain beverages that are the equivalent. They are doped as well as tired. They do not welcome a nap or an early bedtime. It is a bit discourag ing to find a young person in such a state at the close of a so-called vaca tion. Yet school teachers testify that It takes the first month of school in the Fall to help some of their pupils get over their Summers. The fatigued person usually welcomes solitude when he does not care to sleep. He is glad to have people kept off him. Suppose, without any special explana tion for doing so, you give your can tankerous son the spare room for a lit tle while. Tell the "nervous" daughter that you would like to have her con sider herself your "guest" the next two weeks. The seclusion will be benefi cial. Trying to be considerate "com pany" will do the rest. To the Editor My daug-hter, in high school, is fond of personal ways of dolng things. She. has her special tastes in food, her peculiar fashion of arranging her room, her own novel ideas as to dress, and a trick of expressing odd opinions that almost seems sometimes like a pose. Is all this the sign of an original mind? ELOISE T. Not necessarily. It seems more like self-consciousness, and the desire to be impressive. Her future will depend upon how much emphasis she learns to put upon doing really big things in a better way. The girl who announces that she prefers sewing with a bent pin, or who calls attention to herself by weird food combinations, is simply queer. It Is natural for us to wish to detach ourselves from the background and to come to the front with a speak ing part. You need to show her pa tiently the space between being differs ent and being excellent. Purifies Highly antiseptic Used as a curative agent for all ext skin troubles.
