When there came the be- lated recognition of this woeful dis- crepancy between all there is to learn and the short time alloted for its ac- quirement, then invention grew tive in devising means to bridge the Zap between the two. Then “out- lines” came into vogue as ready means of meeting this demand. Incidentally, these struck the true psychologic key of gathering knowl- edge in its most uscful form, in its only useful form, one may say lines” of history and art and outlines of about every branch o learning are now flable.

Just what it claims to be—a library devoted to the well-being of children. 4s attractive in appearance, too, as it authoritative in substance and practical in projection. Here are 10 booklets, uniform in size and soft brown leather bi.ding. With them charmingly appropriote bock-ends go along for their tidy and compact up- standing. A winning outfit, just to look at. But it has more than this skin-deep quality of appeal. For each | booklet is sourced in recognized au- thority and h is presented very ply and cretely. A quite prac- “library” fitted, besides, to the st ease and convenience of use. Literally a handy library. The sub- jects themselves range from “Pre- natal Care and the Baby's Birth” to “Iiducational Problems.” In between .thing but useful subjects appear “Babies—Thelr Feeding and Care," “Hygiene of the Mouth and Teeth.” “The Neglected Age—the Child from Two to Six,” “Dangers of the School Age ommunicable Diseases of Childhood,” “What Children of Va- rious Ages Should Eat,” “How Chil- dren Ought to Grow,” “Psychology of the Child.” Each of these authors is a working man or woman—working actively in the professional field of child nurture—investigating, experl- menting, proving, keeping abreast with the great discoveries of the day in his special field and allled ones. Each is conspicuously free from the confusing impedimenta of pure pro- fessionalfsm. Practical people, as well as highly trained ones, these who are here supporting this admir- able and unusual “Child-Health Li- brary. RAIL LIFE IN THE CANADIAN ROCKIES. By B. W.

It's a great adventure!” he means Just that and lives up to this concep- tion of his summerinzs. Not once In the whole time does he belabor you with learning, nor bore you with data| and findings of purely scientific char- acter. He does play the role of that wiliest of tempters, for he does take you up into an exceedingly high mountain and does show you the won- ders of the world. That's all. And not that, either, literally, since he does not take you up. You have in “tead no end of hard and shivery climbing on your own account to make these prodigious lifts toward sthe’ stars.

By Henry Miiner Rideout, author of “White Tiger, ete. Duffield & Co. | | That's merely the name the natives | gave him for what seemed to them the ferocities of his behavior. These ferocities were only courage turned to action against these restless and turbulent hillmen forever breaking out against Imperial regulations. As a matter of fact, the “Man Eater” is a mild-mannered young English officer of the Indlan frontler and the adven- tures of this romance are such as the treacherous hilimen themselves set | for this resolute and highly-trained young Englishmen to meet and cir- | cumvent. On thelr own familiar| ground and most ingenious In In- ventions of diabolic pattern, these natives, tribe by tribe, succeed in making an exciting and dangerous business of keeping them within their own bounds. A romance—that came near being two romances—goes long with the business of keeping rder in a certain district of India. Mr. Rideout succeeds In telling a most interesting story whose fresh- holds throughout its course and whose clever climax leaves one keenly awake to the interest of the whole and all ready to read another | one as good. AT THE SIGN OF THE SILVER SHIP. By Stanley Hart Cauffman. Il- lustrated by Frank E. Schoonover. Philadelphia: The Penn Publish- ing Co. This romance of old colonial days was put to the severest of tests be- fore it was turned over for your ap- proval. You can hardly do less than to accept with confidence a tale whose telling served to begulle “the little | boy who sat propped up in bed” to hear it, long before it went into print. Children know a story when they meet one fhetter than we do. At any rate, here is a colonial story, set fiyrst in Philadelphia and wandering out therefrom up Into the Valley of the Wissahickon, where modestly stood the hostelry of the Silver Ship. The most of the turbulent to-do of which t romance {s made was in the Stlver Ship itself, or in its near neigh- borhood. When the great business begins its hero, Basil, Is not much more than & boy. When it ends ho has grown to hero size, for time works fast with youngsters. In the inn there is the keeper—good, foolish Uncle Dickon, with whom the boy lives, and the wonderful aunt, and a girl. Quite enough these to start a story. But there are doings besides, much more herolc stuff than this gentle group could set a-going. Piracy comes close to this place, or smuggling the half-brother of this sterner enterprise. There are gallant men and lovely ladies and treachery and all the devilry that a by-gone day ! is able to put across for us in a bland and guileless sincerity. Vil- lainy and love are the mainsprings of this tale of that old day and—as is altogether right—each gets its proper reward. And we read in an increasing enjoyment, glad of a rest from the documentary novels that have no more real juice in them than a sucked orange. A first-rate story of pure ad- venture given over, though, In a genial simplicity that gives to it an altogether bellevable quality. BOOKS RECEIVED. ALL THAT I WANT. Bryce. Gage. Co.

Lauglu and Tears. “In nearly every laugh on the screen is hidden a heartache,” says Pro- ducer B. P. Schulberg. “For my part,” continues the pro- ducer, “I would far rather turn out dramatic pictures. They are much easler to make. But the public wants its diet varied, so we must mix their tears with laughter. “The laughter the audiences get from a clever situation, or the funny antics of a screen comedian, prob- ably brought coplous tears to the peo- ple engaged in getting those laughs into the film. “This Is not only true of what we call high comedy—the hardest type to transmit to the screen—but it is equally true of slapstick. High com- edy requires the most comsummate skill. It takes real artistry to play a light role effectively. “To the audience the screen laugh looks easy.
