By three such changes cne could presumably cross the continent in forty-eight hours and suf- fer no lack of sleep or other discomfort. Of course would be theoretically possible to cross the ccntinent much quicker than that —say, within thirty-six hours—by using airplanes all the way. Bu the cost both in space and in weight of installing sleeper-berths in the planes would be under present (-oklllillons almost prohibi- tive. On the other hand, it would be possible to establish a three-day railway service to and from San Francisco. The trip from Los Angeles has been. made by a special train in less than seventy hours.

BOOKS FOR RURAL SECTIO} have made books available within | edsy of Los Angeles County, living out- es having “Book automobiles” to rural communities not city or town libraries. In Calif., about 409,000 country people, side of Los Angeles and 15 other libraries, are supplied with books from the county [ Two book automobiles make daily trips each between the branches located in com- munities and automobiles have covered delivery-type bodies containing shelves for several hundred books and are usually driven by a librarian. The most distant branch is 116 miles from the central library. In Burlington County, N. J.,, the county li- brary includes a staff of four people and a central building, with 135 branches in stores, grange halls, and farm homes. This library distributes by “book automobile” not only books, but pic- tures, films, and phonographic ords. At each branch the number of books varies from 50 to 1,000, changeable monthly. In Coahoma County, Miss., which has a popu- lation of only 41,511, about 600 books are dis- tributed daily to various branches in the county. This library rvice is maintained by a contract with the Clarksdale, Miss., library at $4,000 a year. There several hundred of various kinds in the United States, most of which been established by popular vote. Some of these are maintained through their con- nection with a libr: in the same county and some are separate county libraries supported by a small county tax reach averaging 100 central library and over miles 300 schools. These are county libraries have city CAMPAIGN COSTS IN ALASKA.

Quite number of Alaska Democrats have made small contributions to the Smith campaign, but the little amount that was dug up was sent to the Western-States-Smith-for-President 50~ ciation at Salt Lake for-use in other sections. So far as Alaska is concerned every one who par- ticipated in the conventions and primary election paid his own costs—and they were large can- into the reference Gov.

And ii is the economic aspect that determines traffic plans. as Bribes by Book Reviewers. (New York Times.) Charges of log-rolling by literary and dram- atic critics who boost their friends are nothing compared to the statement of the librarian of the Berkshire Athenaeum at Pittsfield, Mass. He has found it impossible to judge from reading a book review whether the book is good or bad. That is serious, for a reader likes to get an impres- sion either of potential interest or of certain lack of it when he reads his favorite critic. But it is surprising to find Mr. Ballard continuing, apparently basing his next remark on his other comment, that “the reviewers in leading news- papers, magazines and other sources of book in- formation are subsidized by book publishers,” It that were true, it is difficult to see just how the arrangement could be profitable to the publisher. He would be paying a reviewer, not to say that his books were better than those put out by his competitors, but to be non-committal, The reviewer, a thoroughly dishonorable fellow, would be receiving $5 here and $10 there, and would describe every book that came to his desk as the best he ever read. In a short time his reputation as a discriminating critic, ifshe ever had one, would be gone. Leading book reviewers have always had but reply to such charges. They laugh wryly and beg the accuser to lead them to a publisher who has ever offered a critic a cent. one Muscle and Mentality. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Mr. Tunney again startled fight fans of the common and garden (Madison Square Garden) variety when he accepted the invitation of Prof. Phelps and went down to Yale to talk to a group of young men about Shakespeare. He talked also about other characters not unknown to the student of literature, though it is quite possible that even Mr. Tex Rickatd himself may never have heard of any of them. Carlyle, for instance. But perhaps we should have selected another than Carlyle, because there is a Carlisle noted for its football club and other Carlisles that have produced something or other in the way of athletics or manufactures. The champion demonstrated a commendable familiarity with the works of the world’s and all time’s great champion of letters. But Mr. Tun- ney's Yale exhibition was frees-no gate. Hence, the interest of many Americans was not even tickled to feeble attention, After reading about those bombings in Chi- ago, one realizes where the phrase originated: ‘‘His political hopes were blasted.”— (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.)
