BOOKS FOR DISABLED HEROES
Cyngresa Appropriates $100,000 for
Reading Material for Soldiers
Confined to Hospitals.
Dlsabled heroes of the World war
are not to be without good books to
read while they are lighting to regain
health In the hospitals of this coun­
try. Congress has appropriateti in the
civil sundry bill the sum of $100.060
for the purchase of books, with the
result that each of the 23.000 disabled
veterans will soon have three or four
new books to read.
The American Library association,
which still has charge of the libraries
In the larger hospitals, has been em
barrassed by a shortage of funds, and
up to this time posts of the American
Legion have taken over the duty of
supplying books to the disabled in
hundreds of the smaller hospitals. The
appropriation by congress does not
mean that either the services of the
American Library association or the
American Legion in this respect are to
be dispensed with, but that they are
to be greatly augmented and rein­
forced.
