The matter hinges upon the difference be- tween sex love and the passionless love of friendship. This difference directs the course of the story, em- phasizing the contradictory course that sheer “enticement” sets for one, a course more often than otherwise in direct oppesition to the nature of one under its spell.

The story opens with a court scene, Warren Sherborne waiting judgment for the misdemean- or of having kept his children out of school in clear violation of the law. “Are you the man that plows by tern light?” asked the judge. “Yes. “Sentence suspended for investi tion. Court adjourned.” It is the vestigation” by fine Judge Alder that opens out this tragedy of an unescap- able heritage.

A WANDERER IN VENICE. By E. V. Lucas, author of “A Wanderer in Pa ete. Tlustrated. New York: The Macmillan Company However much one may have wan- dered aout Venice, under thi that one, it is a new experience to visit Venice in the company of E. V. Lucas. For, in the first place, he re- jects the formula of the usual guide, re- fusing to give time and attention to ob- jeets that do not interest him, securing Dy this act of repudiation a certain zest and freshness toward that which he does accept as worth his own par- ticular attention. In the second place ines to enter into long historic ons of this much discussed sea. Rather does he gather such fragments of historic as- sociation as cling to the various places and objects coming under his eye and into his acceptance, So, in the com- pany of this independent traveler, we go about Venice, into its churches and palaces, along its canals, stop- ping here and there as desire prompts before the thousand and one points of interest that do make a claim upon the attention of this selective guide.

By Aldous Huxley, thor of “Mortal Coils,” etc. York: George H. Doran Co. Half a dozen short stories, among is “Young Archimedes” por- ing in a highly dramatized and fouching tragedy the not uncommon of training a child by the painfu’ cxpedient of fitting a square peg round hole to the fatal scoring and blemishing of the’ object so maltreated. Once in a while, right in the midst of his characteristic flourishings, Mr. Huxley becomes as simple as a child and as deeply im- pressive as a child is in the midst of one of its perplexities over an old and waywise world. This swift transition is at its best in-this little story of Archimedes. Of the whole group, though, “Uncle Spencer” is the most completely enjoyable. This is due, in part, to the fact that this reminiscent, reflecting mood suits the habit of Mr. Huxley more than does the work of rounding out a tale to its unities and finalities. Here he roams about, a child, with Uncle Spencer, coming upon all manner of interest- ing adventures that reach past the childhood of the boy up into war time and its effects upon both of these two who, hitherto, have drift- ed along in the midst of an easy and compliant world. Both simple and in- nocent and delightful—both the boy and Uncle Spencer. And most of the time Mr. Huxley keeps along that pleasing level with them. To be sure, once in a while he breaks loose into the exclusive phraseology that sends one off to find out what he is talking about, which no doubt pleases him greatly. The point is, however, that one does go to find out where, as a rule, when entertainers become wise and ‘cryptic they cease to be listened to and are left to stodg& along their leawned ways alone. “Uncle Spen- cer” is a real delight that one is bound to go over many times for the simple joy of it.

I hardly give the matter of looks a thought. Of course. a girl could not be really ugly and achieve a great stage success except within limited lines. But I do not recall any woman who has achieved real greatness in any line who was what one would call a beauty. By that I mean that classical features and the beautiful face ‘do not go with suc- cess In life—success that requires en- { deavor. “Think over the actresses who are successful. Can you name one who is a raving beauty? Attractive, ves. I want the woman whb is attractive,. whose face lights up when she speaks or when she smiles; the woman who is bright, whose face is so expressive { that you forget that her features are | not especially regular. The success- {ful actress must be attractive; need not be beautiful. “Education?

This 1s declared to be in no sense a challenge to spiritualists. If spirits can be produced, Universal wants one. Many men of science and learning claim to have seen spirits, it is ex- plained, and in the hope of sup- plying its need Universal will ask Sir_ Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Oliver Lodge, Camille Flammarlon and sev- eral other scientists for the names and addresses of medtums who may be- approached with this offer. All applicants are asked to com- municate with Universal Pictures Corporation, at 730 Fifth avenue, New York City. Fog Made to Order. URING the shooting of “Playing With Souls,” many of the scenes of which were in Paris, a dense fog was needed. It is impossible to “shoot” through a fog, so artificial means had to be resorted to. This is how it was done. A heavy oil was placed in huge containers and driven out through fine nozzles by compressed air. The result was similar_to the vapor made by -per- fume through an atomizer. A perfect fog bank resulted and one that the camera could photo- graph through. ”NCW LiVCB for Old.“ *NEW LIVES FOR OLD" is a story of war time, in which Betty Comp- son appears as a celebrated French dancer who becomes involved in the French secret service and sacrifices everything—even, it appears, her great love—for her country. The story abounds with graphic pic- tures of the World War, not only as it was fought in the front-line trenches, but as it was worked out by secret (xarvlce agents behind the lines.

Plans are being formulated for the establishment of a unit of the 9th Corps Area by the opening of the next school year, but up to the pre ent time no definite decision has been made as to what institution will be selected for the installation of this proposed unit The 10 signal reserve units enumer- ated above are located at the follow- ing points: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University, arncgie Institute of Technology, corgia Institute of Technology, Ohio tate University, University of Illi- nois, University of Michigan, Univer- sity of Wisconsin, University of Min- ne:ota and Texas A. and M.

In practical work in the use of telephones students are required to install, maintain and operate tele- phone local battery systems The instruction in radio consists in the principles underlying radio com- munication, the organization and con- trol of dio net operation and the | classification of the various sets used ! by the Signal Corps.
