This is an increase of 135,- 501 in the two-year period. The library's report biennium covers the even numbered, rather than the odd numbered years, he ex plained.

A circulation decline of 194,931 there, dropping the total to 953,932, was a result of contraction and concentration of the bookmobile and deposit station program, Secretary Barrett said.

On the other hand, understanding the voice inspires a special care of the larynx, according to the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society in a Health Talk. throat, the mouth, nose and the nasal sinuses. The lips, the palate, teeth and tongue interrupt the sounds, making them become syllables or words. The entire action is co-ordinated by nerve Impulses sent down from the brain. Many conditions can affect the larynx, ranging from an overuse of the voice through constant speaking, fatigue, infections, sensitivity to certain fumes or inhalants to cancer of the larynx. In all, hoarseness is the important single symptom. It may vary* from a blurring of the voice to a hoarseness so severe that the patient can hardly be understood and may even be unable to talk. Some conThe Larynx, commonly called ditions that affect the larynx are J I < the voice box, is situated in the! prf«ent at birth may develop in middle portion of the neck, below the tongue. When it is prominent as is quite common in men, the larynx is i referred to as the Adams Apple. The framework of the larynx consists of cartilages, which we feel on pressing the neck, muscles and ligaments. Within the framework ate two vocal <;0*"ds, which are band-like structures. By stretching and shortening, these vocal cords open and close and account for sounds of various pitches. As afr is^expelled from the lungs, it passes between the vocal cords and makes them vibrate somewhat similar to the reed of an oboe. The pitch of the voice is determined by the rapidity with which the cords vibrate, and this rapidity is controlled by the length of the vocal cords, and their tension. This explains why the male voice is lower than the feminine voice. The male larynx is larger and the vocal cords are longer. While the origin of the sound is in the larynx, its character and words are produced by the coordination of other parts of the body. As a colraun of air strikes the vocal cords, vibrations are set up, but the resonance comes from the action within the chest, the infancy and childhood, and many otlwrs occur as we grow older. But hoarseness is the important symptom and accounts for the term laryngitis and hoarseness being used interchangeably. Persistent hoarseness should be investigated. While it does not always mean cancer of the larynx, an early detection lends itself more easily to treatment. In fact, any condition that blocks breathing through the nose helps to cause laryngitis. When this occurs large amounts of air then pass directly to the larynx without having been ^modified by first passing through the nasal tract, which is normal. Understanding the larynx and the method by which tones are produced can help you to a better speech. Carefully controlled, deep breathing results in softer, more relaxed sounds. Clear enunciation and articulation will make yours an improved voice.
