No, this is not a book about the orient. On the contrary, it is a part of the “See America First” series, de- voting itself to the lake and moun- tain region of New England and east- ern New York. It is, moreover. a rec- ord of fact. the story of four thousand miles of motoring up and down and roundabout this region. At bottom, the book i& a bit of creditable prop ganda, intended to inspire Americans with the will to get acquainted with their own country. With this as an objective the author first soaks the various localities to be visited. each in its own history. In this process he quite does away with the common complaint that America has no back- ground and, therefore, no atmosphere. An_astonishing amount of historic fact and flavor comes out here. Be- yond this fine setting the work is beautifully descriptive and most help- fully definite in direction and sug- gestion. The long trip is split into shorter ones for the convenignce of various classes of tourists. De- tail maps show . the best motor routes of the different sections, speci tying in each its particular attra tions. For the motorist the book is a valuable supplement to his own maps. To the reader it is a revela- tion of the historic fullness and the scenic splendor of this nearby region of resource. A beautiful book in its pictures and general make-up._ CALIFORNIA TRAILS: An Intimate Guide to the Old Misaio: By Trowbridge Hall. Illustrated. New York: The Macmillan Company. In the old, old days of pilgrimage to the Holy Land the French cru- saders were being continually asked, so it is said, where they were going. “A la Sainte Terre” (to the Holy Land), was their reply. This phrase, the course of time, slipped into nt-terrers,” finally becoming our own familiar “sauntere: Stch is the interesting bit of word history with which Mr. Hall indicates that the book in hand is to be a leisurely following of the old mission trails of California One begins the trail back in the old days when the missions were great estates, hospitable rest- ing points on the “royal road" along which they were ranged At each of these the reader is invited to:stop to hear the story of its ttlement and work, its relations with the na- tives, its Industry and its contribu- tion to the material wellbeing of the community, as well as its spiritual endeavors in thelr behalf. Each stopping place is the center around which tales of priestly heroism and self-sacrifice blend with the folk- lore of the locality. It is a fasci- natingly romantic trail, this. I would be, for of all the states of the - Union California -in its h was brooded over by the -gpirit of pure romance. The authdr's .inti- mate grasp on the history of the ssions, and on that of the local setting as well, enables him to con- centrate this romantic ltnos’ure. till the book gives out the impresion of a long-mellowed perjod set the midst of new and loud:sounding events. In an unobtusive way the book sums to a plea for the pres- ervation of the ml ns as an ob- jective trail, beautiful and signifi- cant, of the progress of history across the Golden state. 1® Most Reasonably Priced Fine Car Ecer Mads ™ Stop in for a demanstration any time, P.

TRY R e e R 272770777 IR I L A THE DAYS BEFORE YESTERDAY. By Lord Frederic Hamltop, au- thor of “The Vanished:Pomps of Yesterday,” etc. Naw -York; George H. Doran Comp#ity. * It is the men himself who makes these recollections so richly enter- taining. Just a well born, well reared, well schooled Englishman whose experiences and associates are bound to be of appealing quality. 1In this book Lord Hamliiton goes back before the days of which he wrote | the “Vanished Pomps of Yesterday, back to the days of being a little boy and then of later school days in Eng- land and France and Germany, get- ting ready for the life of the diplo- mat. Of all these days, those at Nyens, in the Midi, are most delightful. Intimate pictures of German families come out in these student days of learning the various languages of diplomacy. A chapter of Russian ex- periences and, as the years grew, other experiences in the far east mark the advance of the youth to- ward manhoed. Interesting people of the time when Gladstone was su- preme in England crowd into these pages—famous men, beautiful wom- en, artists. scholars, statesmen. About all of these, the average reader knows enough to want to know more. And this more Lord Hamilton supplies in a genial mood of humor that has not caustic grain in it. As a picture of the period with which it deals this may be counted as one of rare un- derstanding and breadth, as one of substantial value and charming man- ner. THE BROWN MOTH. v Oscar Graeve, author of “Youth Goes Seeking,” etc. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. Oscar Graeve scored two points in the making of this admirable and in- teresting novel. First, its foundation is fundamental—that is, it is based upon a fact 80 broad in application as | to stand, practically, for a generall truth. Second, the author marches straight to the conclusion imposed by all the conditions of the story. To be sure, this conclusion is not a pleas- ant one. The reader who insists upon a comfortable ending will throw the book down, dissatisfled. Who wants to see an ambitious and personally successful girl shut up in a two- penny flat, waiting the inevitable, while her makeshift spouse ten shop that she has buflt into an ar tistic pepularity?

But, in be- tween his going and coming, there is a most interesting love episode, wherein the girl and her employer are the princi Interesting, be- cause, you: see, employer turns out to be a man algo. No harm is done and the girl gains an ideal. And here the general truth appesrs—the truth that hardly a woman marries as she ‘wants to marry. She marries the man who, agka her.

The Automobile Association in Eng- land has installed over fifty sentry boxes along the main roads of the country, in which are fited telephones for the use of members. During the past eighteen months members e been provided with special keys, enabling them to open the boxes and use the telephones at night time, after the A. A. road patrol in charge has gone off duty. This day and night roadside telephone service has proved of considerable conven- fence. particularly after dark, when roadside troubles have occurred. or when it has been necessary to call up a hotel in advance of arrival. To enable members to more easily locate these telephones after dark, the association has for some months past experimented with systems of fllumination. The first A. A. roadside telephone box to be illuminated is that situated on the Epsom road near Ashtead. The association has decided to similarly illuminate the “phone” signs attached to all the A. A. road- side telephone boxes, except in those cases where the boxes are well indi- cated by public lighting services. MEAN MAN. From the Boston Transcript.

BUICK For years the demand for Buick cars has always exceeded the supply— even when Buick production mounted to 500 cars daily. Because of the material curtailment of motor car production this winter, the country faces a decided shortage of quality cars this spring and summer. Consequently we are advising customers to place their orders now. The reason why the demand for Buick cars has always exceeded the sup- ply is more pronounced than ever in the 1921 Buick. Coupled with the noted Buick power and dependability are added riding comfort, easier con- trol and a beauty and grace that fittingly express Buick worth.
