FRENCH WASHERWOMEN
ARE PACING A CRISIS
PARIS, June 1C—Thousand of wash
erwomen employed in the "lavoirs”
(public washing houses) of Paris and
in the laundires on the banks of the
ltivre at Arcueil, Gentilly and Radian
are facing a serious crisis. After nine
months of war many families whose
budgets have diminished are retrench
ing, using oilcloth instead of linen on
the table and doing their own light
laundry wrok. Many rich families have
remained in their couhtry houses, in
consequence, only one-fourth of the
usual force is required in the laun
dries around Paris. As a solution of
the resulting problem the Municipal
Councillors of the Commune of
Arcueil propose that the soiled linen
of soldiers which is exchanged for new
garments at the front be shipped back
to be laundered. At present great
quantities of clothing are lost that
might in this way be saved, and at
the same time give employment to
the washerwomen.

MAKING PLANS TO
HELP RESTORE
*
MANCHESTER, Eng., June 16.—
When the devnstnted cities and towns
of Belgium rise agnin, one of the first
tasks to be undertaken will be the re
construction of the library of the Uni
versity of Louvain. A nucleus of the
organization and funds necessary for
this purpose has just been established
here by the John Rylands Library, a
wealthy foundation established many
years ago by a millionaire Manchester
cotton manufacturer.
The governors of the John Rylands
library have voted to present to the
University of Louvain a large gift of
books from the surplus store in their
library, and It has been suggested that
similar action by the directors of
other libraries in various parts of the
world would enable the university to
start its new career with an excellent
stock of books.
The collection which the Rylands
governors will present to the univer
sity will be selected from the large
stock of duplicates In the possession
of the library, which have gradually
accumulated through the purchase
from time to time of large and special
collections, which almost, inevitably
contain a certain proportion of works
already on the Rylands shelves.
