C. staff will itress special training in the cadet corps in the next two weeks in preparation for federal inspection May 18. According to j the Colonel, the new inspector, Col. Duesenburry. is a "very close marker." The Cadet Corps parade held Tuesday afternoon was designed to prepare Uie batalions for the pa rade and review requirements of federal Inspection. Said Col. Oury concerning the parade, "It isn't for fun; it'a for instruction." Concentration Necessary. Altho the local R. 0. T. C. unit has received an excellent rating every year under Col. Oury, the commandant expressed doubt that the high mark would be retained. He declared that a good deal of concentrated effort was necessary.

Another interesting part in cludes the invertebrate display, where various small animals such as clams, mollusks are shown, these small animals are found in different strata arid are used to tell the age of the formation. Microscopes have also been fitted out with lenses containing micro scopic invertebrates to be used by spectators if they so desire. Microscopic Exhibits. The study of minerals too small to be seen by the naked eye has been placed at the public's dis posal. Polarized light is used to identify these minerals. The amount of refraction of the light determines the type of mineral. The Flourescent mineral display is believed by geologists to be well worth the trip to Morrill Hall. This is a display where minerals that are dull and drab under the sun or under electric lights are brought to a dazzling degree ol brilliance when subjected to the light rays emitted from a mercury lamp. The practical part of the de partment will also be on display with many maps that indicate the methods used by geologists to lo cate oil fields and rock formations.

O O FIRST NATIONAL vwsina a J, moiia a tke kooL The world's finest library, the Austrian National Library, is be ing purged by the nazis, according to the Associated Press. In the magnificent Hofburg, former resi dence of the Austrian Hapsburgs, and now seat of the famed 1,200, 000 volume collection, orders were received that all non-Aryan books should be relegated to the furnace. Accordingly, all works by Jews, including ancient volumes valued at thousands of dollars, were de stroyed. Included in the purge of book shops and libraries are the works of Thomas Mann, the German genius, who Is now touring this country; Jacob Wasserman, au thor of the great classic. World's Illusion; SLeian Zweig, the great biographer, who has written Marie Antoinette and Conqueror of the Seas; and Vicki Baum, female ;.uthor deluxe, author of Grand Hotel. The Viennese collection contains manuscripts of tremendous value. It was begun in the reign of Maxi millian 1 during which period it was necessary for all publishers to donate a copy of every new book to the library. It is especially rich in music lore, possessing some 50, 000 books by and about the great masters, including autographed scores of Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Strauss, and Beethoven. And so another masterpiece of Intellect succumbs to the passion and emotions of racial hatred, artificially fanned by a mad man or is he a savior? Henry Wolfe in The Octopus of Europe says that Hitler is definitely mad. Dozens of books were coming home to roost after disappearing in a most mysterious fashion. During this week, the city library is sponsoring a book campaign to recover the 8,000 odd books which have been "lost, strayed, or stolen" from that institution in the last three years.

During this period, all fines are removed, and persons returning books to the library will be spared the embarrassment of questioning. Citizens who complain about the high taxes or rave about politics in government may prove their sin cerity by returning any book3 which some little bird has acci dentally placed in their homes. It is reported that when Boston sponsored a similar drive that so many books were returned in the first three days that four special policemen had to be hired to hold back the crowds. Odds and Ends in the World of Books: ' Hervey Allen's book Action at Aquila is rapidly challenging The Citadel for first place honors In the fiction best seller race. . . . Thurman Arnold, who has recently been a right hand man for the president, has been praised con siderably by his critics for his book, The Folklore of Capitalism. The book is well up on the non fiction best seller list. . . One of hi crest surorises on the best seller list is the huge sales of Einsteins The Evolution of Physics. . , .For group non-fiction greatest circula tion in the libraries, the muckrak ing books on medicines, drugs, cosmetics, and other highly adver tised products still rank first.
