By Frank Tannenbaum, author of “Wall Shadows,” etc. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sona RANK TANNENBAUM is a well known investigator of social conditions. A quiet convine- ing man with nothing at all of the professional agitator about him. To be sure he once did do & most unseemly thing. That was about ten years ago, when he led a group of jobless men right into a church to ask for work, quietly and respectfully. lle went to jail a whole year for that. Maybe it was there, in Jail, that he got his lead for what he has since been doing. At any rate, once out of prison he went to college for learning—for facts and perspectives on social conditions. Out of college he set about the investiga- tions that have since engaged him and shocked the world. “Wall Shadows” is a study of American prisons. The book in hand iz a sur- vey of the south in its social con- ditions generally. The work of the outh, the workers, the source of the ubor ¢lement, the conditions of life among the workers, the cffect of the single crop upon these conditions. There is, besides, a chapter on the southern prisons. Another on the acute problem underlying solution of the difficulties. A pertinent and re- lating chapter also on the K. K. K. in its origin, its purpose, its char- acter as an American institution Hard reading. this. Not hard be- cause the author tries to make it so. to do nothing except to set before one as he has seen He leaves it to the reader-— proud citizen of a great and beautiful country—to muster the justification, if he can, tn administer the condem- nation if his mind runs that way Neither of these is of great moment - except as the beginning of some sort of intelligent action. MY MUSICAL LIFE. By Damrosah. New York: Saribners Sons. Walter Damrosch holds a unique position, standing as he does between two great orders—illuminating one to the other. On the one hand there is himself. as the artist rich in a per- sonal musical experience. Around him, grouped in intimate nearness, are the great musicians each set out in his own special order of high achiev ment. On the other hand is the mul- titude of music lovers to whom, in a perfect genius of ximple and dramatic invention, Mr. Damrosch has inter- preted the art of music and the art- ists producing it. Because of the originality and scope of th. con- tacts, because of the relation that Mr. Damrosch has been able to set up be- tween thousands of music lovers and great music, these recollections of his life will make a general appeal - something far beyond that of the field of the technicians and artists | themselves.

New ieorge 11, Deran Company Charles say are common to all western countries There vis the widespread question of |a_ healthy and peaceful industry There ie the question of labor in most conspicuous lines of policy and ‘plan There is the great question of economy in government with the nat- ural effect of this upon the matter of taxation. So. while these questions are discussed by an Englishman. it turns out that they are not exclusive inglish possessions, but belong to the problems of our own country as well. And to their definition and dis- cussion there is applied a mind of great clearness, seasoned by wide |experience in Iinglish governmental matters. tempered by much thinking. Therefore one finds thisauthor stand- ing upon a good middle ground—not the middle ground of indecision: stead, that of a weighed and bal- anced decision. Sobriety, and pa tience. clear seeing, and straight talking some togeéther here in a fine sanity that the present needs—the American present. ax well as that of | Great Britain, for they are of close kindred in the very matters brought forward here.

By @lice Duer Miller, author of “Come &ut of the Kitchen,” ete. New Yowk: Dodd, Mead & Co. A groun of short stories, for tha gathering of whose themes the au- | thor stepped out from the beaten path. Once “out” in search of fresh | things to write about she stayed out, | projecting these themes in a manner as different from the tread-mill man- ner as are the subjects themselves different from the usual ones.

By Natalie Sumner Lincoln, author of “The Meredith Mystery,” etc | New York: D. Appleton & Co. | So you think you've got the hang |of Miss Lincoln's formula for the mystery tale and through this the |almost immediate solution of the miystery itself. All right. Go ahead with it. Yes, a ecrime, of course- usually murder. Yes, in Washington, as a rule. That's right—a definite realism of local setting. Yes, a good- 1y number of people coming and go- ing. either through a direct interest in the victim or a plausibly conceived | indirect concern in the matter. Som | acceptablo to-do—social, political, diplomatic, of clear Washington stripe. The rest is easy—simply to select out of this group the one least likely of all to possess any motive whatever for doing away with the | victim. And that's the answer to the | mystery. That's the end of the trail | That's not bad—except that by paying | a little closer attention you will find | this group rather =ubtly separated | into two parts. On the one hand are two or three colorless and remote characters, generally negligible in re- | Bpect to the solution of the mystery. On the other hand are those, nearer | to the vietim. about whom the crime unthinkable. Yet this second | Rroup grows to be disturbing. From | it this one cmerges today with the stamp of unusual things upon him. Yesterday it .was that other one, and =0 on. And the group that doesn’t | count 15 kept In might, though stiil | in negligible role. 1t is in this sepa- in this expert handling of proportions, in this careful projection of possible symptoms of guilt, that the quality of the whole formula lies. Save “for this exception vou have seized upon Miss Lincoln's method of mystification. Bat in this exception | lies the whole point of the work. | | EIGHT PANES OF GLASS. By Rob- | ert Simpson. author of “The Gray Charteris,” ete. New York: Fred- | | erick A. Stokes Company. The power of personality — that's one of the things you will gather out of this story. Not gleaning it by dull rule and rote. however, but finding it at expected turns in the fit thing done | or said, the unfit thing forborne. At the heart of the story is old Janet Cromarty, bedridden, seeing not only all of Scotiand, but pretty much ail of life besides, through her eight- paned window frame. Incidentally, | o1d Janct. through her wise and knowing-outlook, her good appraisals of this or that in the human land- scape, as well as in that of the mere arrangement of highland and heather, of loch and glen, is clear evidence that the most of us see through no | more than a single pane of glass. The joys and sorrows of the whole neigh- ‘borhood sooner or later find their way to this free fountain of friendliness and shrewd insight and good sense and dry humor. A very providence is Janet Cromarty in sorting and sifting and settling the mixed love matters | of all the youth roundabout. Within | the limits of this romance such is her | chief enzagement. And around it ail is the atmosphere of the Scottish highlands and the people whom these have shaped to their own pattern. Robert Simpson, in a good conscience of artistry, has here produced an ad- mirable romance of local color and action. FIDELIA. By Edwin Ralmer, au- thor of “A Wild Goose Chage™ eta New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. A love story drawn across the back- ground of university life. The aca- demic atmosphere is in this situation by no means obtrusive. Rather does the institution serve chiefly as a point 0f departure for neatly assorted pairs of co-eds bent upon a project vastly more appealing than the mere gather- ing in of knowledge. Fidelia is the newcomer. A girl of beauty and poise, quite calculated to stir up, uncon- sciously and without intent, commo- tion and confusion within the student group. Out of this emerges a story of tragic import on the one hand, of near-tragic quality on the other, both sourced in the equal fidelity of two women. One faithful to the lover whom Fidelia has won away. Fidelia faithful to an earlier bond that she had honestly believed to be a broken one. One wins happiness out of this common virtue. The other wins—well, both cannot get happiness out of this particular situation. If one had to classify this story he would be likely fo place it among those that possess interest and entertainment, but that fall just short of clear distinction. I, THE KING. By W. W. Williams, author of “Family, eta New York: Frederick A. Stokes Com- pany. The story of ““Kit” Newell, all dressed up and no place to go. Or. the same thing. loads of money without the ghost of & notion of what to do with it. So, the story follows the young’ man from nursery days on till just “Kit” becomes “Kit and Mary~ with no end of adventure accompany- ing this big change. Change of place, from one beckoning point to another ‘more alluring. Change of mind, from one state to another, each shift mak- ing progress, really, no matter what its outer seeming might be. A serious fellow at heart despite some rather hectic signs to the contrary, Kit Ne- well” finally comes out on the very safe ground that looking out for other people most of the time, instead of looking out for himeeif all the time, is the best kind of job that a man can have, and the best bargain with hap- piness besides. Highly picturesque points of adventure mark the course of this really plausible and interest- ing story. HERE COMES THE SUN!

LOUIS MANOHA. Abbe A. Bessieres. Translated from the French by Rev. I Domestici. Boston: 7The Stratford Compan A story of sickness, euffering and death, offered here as a source of re- ligious consolation and spiritual strengthening. It is the story of Louls Manoha, a little French moun- tain boy, who, as a mere lad, sicken- ed and died. At the last moment the child was met by a heavenly vision whose clear signs and tokens passed from him to his weeping family in certain promises of protection and re- ward. A touching and simple story. purely religious in intent, it is offered “to teachers and parents, to the little ones of America,” as a help toward fuller confidence and a clearer faith.

HE rapld exhaustion of forests making the matter of wood preservation imperative, and afthouz something may be done by proper cutting and seasoning, special treat ment of the wood prolongs its lif; considerably. Whether special mot ods of preservation are emploved or not, the wood ehould be well sea soned. To this end, if kiln-drying is impossible, the wood should be eut in the autumn in order that have a longer time to dry slowly in the colder part of the year. If kiln drying is practiced, the wood may be cut at any season of the year. There is some advantage in using wood that has been rafted, or allow- ed to remain in water for some time as this treatment dissolves out cer- tain of the soluble organic materials As a result, fungi find less available food materials. The same result is obtained by first steaming the wood. For railway tles the steaming may be done in the open air, without shelters. They are piled in a place well drained exposed to winds rather than sun and not more than two ti permitted to come in the ground. TIn piling spac should be left between the ties for ventilation.
