At the German University of Marburg a library Las just been established under State supervision for the exclusive use of undergraduates and professors blinded in the -war. It will be filled exclusively with books and documents printed in Braille and have an annexe for the teaching of both reading and writing in the Braille system. Various towns and cities have pledged themselves to make annual grants sufficient to maintain the library. Owing to coal scarcity there has been a shortage of hot water for cooking and bathing purposes throughout Germany. In Hamburg the hot-water famine has become so acute that the municipal authorities are now doling it out gratis to the people from one of the public institutions. Citizens are notified that they may fetch hot water at B a.m. and 6 p.m. The quantity obtainable is not stated in the Press.
