Reviews of THE SPIRIT OF THE REVOLUTION. By John C. Fitzpatrick, A. M., as- sistant chief, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress. lllustrated. Boston: Houghton, Mifin Com- pany. LEARLY, we are in & most hur- ried transit from back there to over yonder. And much of this haste goes into the getting of food and cover, into running ‘round and ‘round after ' ourselves. And in_this breathless rush after cakes and ale we miss many wonder- ful things—the sky, the rain, drift- ing clouds, bufgeoning spring; we miss our own personal freedom, the bounty of our country, the qual- ity of its foundations, the reasons that laid these, the methods that fulfilled them, the personalities that went into the corner stones of our blessed mnational -freedom. To be sure, every proper American prides himself upon knowing his coun- ry’s history—the Revolution, the Constitut the Government—all more or less wooden stuff to him, aft- all, from having been shut up these many years In the hard bark of words—Ilike a dryad {n a trec. Once nowadays—and happily are edging a llttle clos- there comes along some one who resolutely, and knowingly, frees these vital things of our com- mon national life from their inerust- ing words, setting them out beside us in their' own bodies of flesh and blood, reanimating them with the spirit of their own birth, linking them up w the present in the bonds mutual obliga A great scrv the caus neral understan; ius of our Government upon ery degree of its citl The Spirit of the Revolution’ ono of these liberating books, its purpose that of setting upon their feet before us live men who, in the Revolutionary period, contributed of their gifts of mind and heart much ot that which we today extol as the bed- rock of our great country. From the Library of Congress, treasury of priceless manuscripts, Dr. Fitzpatrick has drawn the suhstance of this vol- me. The design here is not to set down events in sequence. Rather is the book a flashlight thrown here and ing a poignant mo- now playing over in- ts calculated to humanize that past, which it is our duiy to hold, fluid and warm as the life current of our national existence. Here we are nvited into the company of the orig- al draft of the Declaration of Inde- dence, in effect an arraignment of glish King and the manuscript fre which Thon Jefterson wrote the Declaration itself. We travel with this document, = ing sanctuary, through seven states. We go to the headquarters of Washington at Val- ley Forge, where we see the uni- formed regiments and hear the bands and look into the mess quarters. W wake to the fact of a “Liberty loan’ in those days as well as in our own. Indeed, many of the incidents of that war for our own independence take on fresh life here out of cur personal partakings in another great war for freedom. This is one of the inspired points of “The Spirit of the Revolu- tion"—that it has come when we are most open to an understanding of 1ts purpose, to an active sympathy for its hardships and sacrifices. If this vital book only gets where it belongs, then its value will be clear and solid. And it belongs, of course, where, through live teachers, it can get to school children before they have be- come stupefled over the dcadwood of the average school histor: mposes THE INVISIBLE WOMAN. bert Quic author of mark’s Folly,” etc. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill Company. “The Invisible Woman” s a grand- daughter of “Vandemark's Folly.” These two novels, with “The Hawkeye" in be- tween, provide an illuminating moving picture of life in lowa—Tlife in the whole | Middlg West as well—from pioneer be- ginnings pretty well up toward the pres- ent. The story takes its title from the part, the generally silent part, which women are accredited with playing public affairsand in the personal achie iments of individual men. The time for this romance falls in with that of ¥ two new and deeply important appear- in the common life of that da: One of these is the emergence of girls into business other than that of matri- mony or school teaching. The stenog- rapher, the typist, the office girl, is now Just stepping out into the open. We do not yet realize the many-sided signifi- cance of this departure from woman's traditional vocation. The other of these two appearances is the transference of office holding and politics into the feld of commerce and trade, where barter and eale take the place of free choice based upon sturdy loyalty to political righteousness. These two vital elements control the novel in hand. By way of her intelligence and good sense, by way of her devotion and position of advan- tage in the office of a young lawyer, the girl is able to promote his political in- terests, to circumvent the most menac- ing of the political intrigues against him —all in the “Invisible” role of a modest and very capable confidential secretary. Old characters that figured in the two earlier novels of this series appear here again. Situations set in those stories of the West bear their natural fruitage here. If the story lacks, for you, a shade of the romantic glamour of the others— particularly of “Vandemark's Folly"— this may be set down to the llusive at- tractions of distance rather than to any lack of either good substance or dram- atic treatment in its projection. Certain- Iy the three novels furnish a highly in- teresting pattern of realism applied to o development of a great Common- ulth from pioneer days up to the n present. THE THIRTIETH VER. By Lillian < York: The MacMillan Company. Back of this curious tale lles & vivid and ambitious imagination, one that calls for a line of action, thin and straight, running through the years that lie between the betrayal of Jesus and a point still a few years ahead of the present time. The story goes that Judas, horrified at his crime of betrayal, rushed into the presence of the Sanhedrin, cast his purchase money upon the floor, and fled, crying aloud out of the depths| of his contrition. Gathering up the scattered silver, the elders failed to find that thirtieth piece, which, for the moment hidden away, finally cscaped out into the world. This, the groundwork of th. trange stor: which is, in effect, the fatal odyss: of that contaminated coin that ever ince has sown the seed of the world disasters. Out of its deadly contacts have arisen all covetousness, lust, greed, hatred—the roots of all evil, the love of money. Around the course of this thirtieth piece of silver the wickedness of old Rome is built and that of Venice and Holland, of oarly England and of the Incas of the New World. And still it fs on its way, gathering in its nearer ap- proaches to us the doom of the Romanoffs, and in our own day the thousand and one calamities whose common root is still that thirtieth plece of silver, inciting man to atroc- ities of increasing diversity and more hideous ingenuity. v mads fo PIECE SIL Hay New oF herself and it for you to determine to what ex- nt she has filled it.

Here, possibly, the story falls off somewhat. But what else could you expect? Instead of stressing this slight departure New Books why not applaud the courage of the undertaking? A tremendous theme able to support volumes of invention. COWBOYS; North and South. By Will James. Iilustrated by the author. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. The clear advantsge of “Cowboys” over many of the books that crowd so numerously under this general heading is that the cowboy himself, Will James, built these chapters out of the dally business of his own life. A more promising way, you will readily admit, than that laid down by even the keenest of on-lookers, who is also at the same time the most painstaking of reporters. If before venturing upon this personal account- ing of & cowboy you have any doubt about his abllity to deliver himself in print, you will promptly lose this doubt as you find yourself hanging grimly to the back, or neck, or tall of some resolute demon done up in the shape of & piece of bucking horseflesh. That is the gift of this fellow, the gift of straight and immediate communicability, passing on to you alive the experiences gone through by himself. A straight talk- er, this man, who has no great re- pect for the laws of language, no very deep veneration for polite words, none at all for spelling, either of the reforimed variety or that still encased in its own original sin. He talks straight and hard. He can, moreover, make & pencil talk in pictures that are even more instinct with quivering life than is the pounding print it- self. Here are incidents of wide range covering a very real and an intensely dramatic side of the great West. The cattle ranges spread out here, morth and south. The Winter cattle camps round into a fresh aspect of the cattls business. The part of the horses in this enterprise, the training of these for their role in the tremendously exciting life of the ranges—it is all here, fresh out of the hand of & man who has him- self played a leading hand with these guardians of live stock in the limit- less reaches of the great West. A corking book for Jjust the kind of boy that needs this contact with a part of the country where adventure swings out into daring and an enor- mous amount of courage and skill. THE TRUTH AT LAST. By Charles Hawtrey. Edited by W. Somer- set Maugham. Illustrated. Bos- ton: Little, Brown & Co. ‘The personal memoirs of & versatile and lovable man. Mr. Maugham says of Charles Hawtrey: “He was by passion a racing man and only by necessity an actor.” Yet despite this he gave an excellent account of himself as an actor, according to the word not only of his friends but of the general publioc as well. And his recollections of the stage as they appear in this volume are of & spontaneity and variety to make one regret not having seen him in one or another of his many plays—"The Private Secretary,” “The Man Fro Mars,” “Where the Rainbow End: and so on and so on. Indeed, whatever loss the stage may have sustained from the many conflicting sides of Chartes Hawtrey's nature, the reader of these memoirs has clearly a sense of distinct gain from contact with this happy and genial lover of life. Stage folks will get much from this running history of their art. The general reader will get perhaps even more from this engaging story of Hawtrey's life and recollections. LA ROUX. By Johnston Abbott. New York: The MacMillan Co. A man is, s a rule, cast to the role of adventure. In this case, however, it is a woman who takes the far trail in a new country upon a quest that is at all times most arduous and one that Is sometimes, also, edged with actual danger. A young French woman of high degree is here in pur- suit of @ man, who, by way of her own father, has been deprived of his inheritance. The search takes the girl to Canada, and there the ad- venture unfolds in a dramstlc and consistent deferénce to the exacting nature of the country itself. Cross currents of human agency, good and evil, add to the hardship and menace of the natural getting in which the action grows. A clever bit of im- personation contributes to the situ- ation the ever-welcome flavor of un- certainty and mystery, without which & pure romance lacks one of the es- sential elements of its strongest ap- peal. A straight invention, with romance and danger, the two Wwings of its clear and gratifying flight. THE LAZY COLON. By Charles M. Campbell, associated with Albert K. Detwiller, M. D. New York: The Educational Press. 1t you study this book you will find out a lot of intimate things about vourself that it will pay vou richly to know. It 1s, first of all, & book to take up with confidence. No fads, no passing preachment, no conclusion today to be revoked tomorrow. It is a book that is drawn from recognized authority. Where disagreements in authority occur these are set out plainly, with the balance of evidence as carefully measured as present knowledge permits. Stmply and clear- ly you are first given the anatomy of the digestive mechanism and the physiology of digestion itself. Along with definite information many cur- rent questions are discussed — the drinking of water; the food classes and the use of each as body and mind builders. This discussion, in a sense preliminary, leads to the colon as one of the prime sources of health on the one hand or of disease on the other. What is its function? How does it operate in meeting this function? What weaknesses may assail it? What habits zre calculated to restore it to health and to keep In that con- dition. The general subject of die- tetics and exercise in their effect upon a colon turned “lazy” and, therefore, constituting & menace to health and life, receives here a simple, sensible, authoritative and interesting treat- ment—one, too, that is so arranged @s to make it a most convenient means of getting In easy touch with just that phase of the subject, that for the time being you wish to refer to again and again. It is important to emphasize, once more, that this book convinces you readily of the quality of research that has gone into its discussions and recommendations. BOOKS RECEIVED.

By the Associated Press. / NEW YORK, February 28.—Despite a &how of hesitation among buyers in some quarters and a slowing down in general activity to a more normal pace, the steel market continues to display & firm undertone. There has been some skepticism regarding' the |ability of domestic buyers to con- tinue absorbing present production, but it is estimated that unfilled or- ders on the books of the Steel Cor- poration at the end of February will show gains for the month of between 75,000 and 100,000 tons.

LARGER EARNINGS SEEN ON SOUTHERN RAILWAY President Harrison Looks for Both Gross and Net Gains During Year. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 8.—Larger gross and net revenues for the South- ern Railway In 1925 than the year before were forecast by Fairfax Harrison, president, on _his departure for Europe today. He said ho was cheer- ful regarding the trafic outlook and expeoted March and April would be big months for the system. No new equipment purchaxing was contem- plated, Mr. Harrison added, as heavy buying was done last year for two years' requirements in anticipation of higher equipment prices which he ex- peoted would advance considerably in the near future. % in B in New York.

BALTIMORE, February 28.—The egg market reached the lowest level of the Winter season Wednesday, when strictly fresh native and nearby firsts sold at 30 cents a dozen. The following day the market had a firmer tone and values advanced one- quarter cent a dozen, but eased off agaln yesterday and closed today &t 303 cents, a decline of 31 cents from last Saturday. Receipts have been fairly liberal, but a good demand has prevailed and all desirable offerings have met with prompt sale from day to day. Should the present cold weather con- tinue next week values will probably advance, But at this season ol the year it s purely a day-to-day market and prompt shipments are advisable to realize best results Duck egs: made their appearance on the local market this week and met with ready sale at 45 to 43 cents a dozen. Recelpts have been light and market holds firm. The general iive poultry market continues firm under a good and con- stant demand for large, smooth stock. This is especially true of Winter chickens two pounds and under, which bring 38 to 40 cents a pound.
