WHEN it came to picking the farm- yard animals for “Way Down East.” D. W. Griffith had one of his technical directors furnish him a list of animals required. That was easy, thought everybody around the studio. ‘The ordinary list of cows. sheep, horses and pigs with some chickens, was given Mr. Griffith. “This will not do,” he said. “You've left out the most valued asset to our rresentation of the farm and its ani- mals.” ‘What could he mean? Just this. Do you notice how much “babyhood” is shown among the animals in the bu- colic scenes of “Way Down East”? There are calves, chicks, puppies, fledglings, lambs, - kittens and then there are the “grown-ups” of the barnyard, the cows, sheep, horses. dogs. pigeans, pigs and the great herd of cattle numbering 200. “We want the ‘sweet, happy baby- hood' of farm life wherever we can show it"” said Mr. Griffith.

A host of other people drift into the Aldrich home—Dickens, Erowning and other famous Englishmen and Englishwomen, with many a cele- brated American to keep them com- pany. Mrs. Aldrich recreates a circle and endows it with an atmosphere that is altogether delightful in its communicable realism. The book per- mits one a genuine partaking of the scenes set down here. THE REIGN OF PATTI. By Herman Klein, author of “Thirty Years of Musical Life in London,” etc. II- lustrated, New York: The Century Company. Only a rarely occasional mortal em- bodies a career comparable to Patti’s. { A touch of the legendary lies in her ilong supremacy of genius, in the character of her triumphs in her rich and varied personality, in the unembellished narrative of her life. i Mr. Klein approaches his biographic study of Patti both from the stand- ! point of lifelong friend of the great singer and from that of the critic whose native turn and long profes- sional training have amply equipped | him for this particular task. Before { Patti, the artist, in her great creative i roles, Mr. Klein is the critic—analyz- ing, comparing, appraising, with a competency and an authority that make of this study an flluminating chapter of permanent values on the content and history of musical drama. iBefore Pattl’s general life story he is the brilliant and sympathetic narra- tor. *The artist and the student in music will set their own evaluations jupon this biography. The general reader will take it with the zest that goes into the fairy tale or the legend, with this difference: That it is an authentic and well balanced story of a remarkable actual personality. MR. DIMOCK. By Mrs. Denis O'Sulli- van. NéW York: John Lane Com- pany. Man’s infidelity—or woman's—plays an important part, both in fiction and out of it. It is not often, however, that a novelist makes the constitu- tional disloyalty of a certain man the theme of her story. This is, never- theless, exactly what Mrs. O'Sullivan has done in the dramatic story of Mr. Dimock, with whom the lure of the strange woman ig irresistible. Dimock is no mean lure on hjs own {account. Except for the general slip- periness of his heart, Dimock is a de- lightful man. The peaple around him —always women—are most attractive. They talk a great deal, in a Wwitty, stimulating, inviting fashion. The in- cidents of the stdry are themselves fresh and pithy. And in the company no one shines with just the luster of Dimock. To be sure, at the end, Dimock gets pretty much what fs coming to him, but, being a gentle- man of sorts, he is permitted to re- tire with something of dignity. And,. just @s in life, all of those deluded women look back with regretful ten- derness upon the delectable Dimock. This story of life—both modern and more remote—comes without fear of challenge into the select company of clever novels. THE BORROWDALE TRAGEDY. By W. J. Dawson. author of “Robert Shenstone,” etc New York: John Lane Company. The tragedy here does mnot ‘lie in the death of James Borrowdale. sin- ister as are the implications of that episode. Rather, does it develop out of the sequences of Borrowdale's su- icidal taking off. For there is a 'young wife—too young for him, too relieved at his going out. And there is a young man. Both are inwolved | \ it a brain- her—bread h sound spank- ing, if need be. We are not without jfrom the standpoint of the capitalist | lloPe here—hope that the two remain- ed to a really clever sensationalist. BULLDOG DRUMMOND. McNelle, author of “The Human Touch,” etc. New York: George H. Doran Company. If this were a comedy film it would present that early device of intense Speeding up with its absurdly non- sensical effect. But comedy film. Instead which with a perfectly offers all the plete tragedy And, what is more, it gets away with it. One, reading, zoes along with Drummond, squeezing ont of one tight place by no more than a hair's breadth, oniy to drop intd an even tighter one. E adventure convinces him that this is the last of Drummond, and he whips up h own mind to help the fellow out. this is all illusion—but it's good lusion—good enough to excite the reader. from about the third page to the last one. to a complete partaking of these packed and pressed-down ad- ventures.

Christmas holly, that merriest and most beloved of ail growing bushes, tened with extinction, accord- ‘.:éh{:‘ 'a warning sounded by lovers of a red Christmas. Once growing profusely in southern New Jersey and Maryland, it has been swept from those states by the ruthless cutters for the city markets, and must now be sought in the swamps of Virginia and North Cfl‘r:rl‘:ng;‘gwr;i: ady the supply Is wi 5 Hentiful each year. The Gulf states have been similarly shorn to make holi- jay for New Orieans, St. Louis and jon, bota- ists say, holly will be as rare as Tistletoe, which used to grow in abundance on the Atlantic seaboard, as far north as Raritan bay, but has istmas decoration.

The ‘mountain laurel, which once swept the hills of June with pale pink aritts like naughty clouds running away from the sunset, has now re- treated to the remote mountain sides. New Yorkers who wish to see it growing in its natural glory can find it only in the Harriman Intersta Park or the protected hills borderi the Croton water system. LOOKS THAT WAY.

SEE WORLD DEMAND FOR MOTOR TRAILERS American Consuls Report Market | in Many Countries for Trucks Made in United States. American consuls in all par the world have reported 1o the i Department on the possible market fo motor truck trailers manufactured in the United States. These reports. show that this country is far in ad- | vance of all other countries in .the ' | use of this economical aid to highway { transportation, notwithstanding Ens- land was first to adopt the principle | of trailer transportation, and there is.¢ about a score of trailer manufacturers in Europe. located in England, France, Italy and Germany. The United States, with about sev- enty-five trailer makers and probably 50,000 trailers in use, leads the world in’ this new indust Tse of trailers by the American. French, English and Italian armies during and after the war and subsequent sale of much of this equip ment helped to introduce trailers i France and Belgium, and it is expected a . return to more normal exchange rates will open a good market for American makes. Trailers are being exported in limited numbers from this country to many parts of the world, includ ing Canada. the West Indies, some South American countries. England, Scandinavia, West and South Africa, the Philippines and even China. In the Liverpool district of England the demand for trailers has excecded the supply. They are used chiefly by ¢ the large flour, sugar, cake and oil mills * and by heavy haulage contractors and ) forwarding agents. Firms there, formed « to transport goods by highway because of adverse railroad shipping conditions, have generally adopted trailers in con. junction with motor trucl Marseille district in France. They are ' heavy-duty vehic <, of both two-wheel ; and four-wheel types, the former em-: ployed chiefly for carrving wine in casks and the latter for hauling general merchandise. : There is considerable demand in Swe den for trailers for use with trucks of ® three, five and seven tons capacity, and the market is expected to be large in the future. ven the little republic of Salvador in Central America has imported a few trailers. A two-ton truck and a two-ton iler bought by a coffee planter dis- 160 oxen, 80 ox-cars and 80 s. The value of the carts and oxen was about $4,800, and it cost about $40 a day to feed the oxen and an equal amount to pay the drivers. The truck and trailer, with one driver, make four trips a day and two at night over the 7%-mile road to the shipping point and haul 120,000 pounds of coffec in the eighteen hours, or as much as the eigty ox-carts did formerly —_— PLANS OUTLINED FOR GOOD ROADS MEETING Governor of Every State Asked to Send 100 Delegates to National Convention at Greensboro.
