POWER. By Arthur Stringer, author | of “The Door of Dread.” etc. In- dianapolis: The Bobbs - Megrill Company HE American legend has come to be the story of the poor boy ris- ing to power through his own seizure | of opportunity and his indefatigable | pursuit of this. There is truth, some truth, at the bottom of this legend as, no doubt, there is at the foundation of all legends could one only follow them to thelr various sources. Because of this grain of truth in an altogether engaging development the legend of the poor American boy has supplied the theme of thousands of storles and will continue to do service for count. less tales yet to come. ‘‘Power” is a »od romance on this popular théme. The rallrqad provides the ladder by which the boy climbs from some me- nial job around the yards to the com- mander-in-chief of a great system of roads and its army of workers. A plain story—that is the kind which this author tells. A straightforward, plugging story through which one hears the clink of hammer, the driv- of wheels, the rush of steam, the shriek of whistle, and in which men gwarm like ants around their particu- lar ant-plles of endeavor. Not a new story in any sense, except in its ca ful notation of what this hand-over- hand climb to power is doing, has done, to the fellow who, beginning at the bottom, now stands at the top— on feet a bit uncertaln because an over-drained heart is not quite up to its job. A lonely figure, this man of power. And that is the point, the very good and strong point of the story—the effect on the boy and man inside and out—that comes through this climb to the top of things that mean money and influence. THE MOMENT OF BEAUTY. By Samuel Merwin, author of “Silk.” Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. STORY of the stage that projects as the motive power of the story an absorbing and vital question. The question is, “Does love matter, ran love matter, to those sincerely de- voting their lives fo the art of the theater?” There is, to be sure, no answer to a question which holds within itself as many answers and makeshifts of answers as there are kinds of temperament and degrees of sincerity propounding it. This, how- ever, does not prevent one from mak- ing & good story out of the approaches to the great question. And this is ‘what Samuel Merwin has done here. Selecting intcresting characters from the most interesting of all the arts, he has prejected these in a sequence of cidents bearing upon their work of acting and upon their own individual ce8 as well. One finds therm—quite he expected to do—hard-working men and women, ambitious and some- times not overscrupulous in feeding their desires. One finds them lovely and unlovely, kindly and hateful, all within the spirit and atmosphere of the stage, just as he finds folks on the outside sharpening themselves on their own ambitions and occupations, Since the stage is, however, a glamourous medium for the play of human nature, and an exacting one besides, Mr. Me: as | book in hand i | obscure corner of a win's story, in its waywise fidelity to the subject, comes to one as a particu- larly interesting gathering up of men and women into a realistic and signifi- gant romaice. THE GREAT VAN. SUTTART MYS- TERY. By orge Agnew Cham- berlain, author of “The Lantern on the Plow,” etc. Putnam'’s Sons. SINCE Edgar Allen Poe dressed up old and forgotten ways of the mys- tery tale and set them out in a beguil- ing freshness of thelr own, on through to Sherlock Holmes, master of more or less logical deduction applied to crime, nine-tenths of all the mystery stories, in defiance of the laws of con- struction, have set the climax of the matter in the first chapter, leaving the end of the adventure to the slim effects of a clear anti-climax. The n exception-to a habit that from overuse has become tire- some. Therefore, to this extent at least, this story is a refreshment. A good adventure is well off its interest- ing way before the advent of any ab- sorbing mystery. It has another point in its favor—that of re-creating a ple- turesque quarter of old New York, where devious ways lent mystery and charm to the days and nights of that greatly populous town. The affairs of a little boy and girl, neighbors in this packed locality, engage one heartily in many interest- ing episodes before any question of mystery impinges upon the open na- ture of the case as a whole. Indeed, the best of the story lies in the friend: ship grown up between the street boy, Miad, and the little lady girl, Cor- nelia. In an ingenious cleverness the author finally brings these two to- gether In a straight blood-bond out of the clearing up of a mystery that for 20 years had lain undiscovered. A good inventlon, covering a pleasing change in the habit of the common rule for crime detection in tales of fiction. PEARLS OF DESIRE. By Austin J. Small, author of “The Frozen Trail.” Boston: Houghton Mifin Company. - PURE adventure, pure romance, pure invention. The South Sea islands once more; a treasure to be found; & lovely lady to be succored; a native prince and princess to be res- cued from captivity and the brutality of a black-birding rascal. Oh, no, this does not all come about at once as the set program of a couple of adven- turers. Indeed, the most of it is the result of chance, that kindly delty that waits upon adventurous youth. The story opens dramatically—the dark young prince tied to a tree, be- fore him the brute of a white man almost tasting the savors of the deadly lash held in his hand. Rescue is the first move in an adventure that there- after, while varying its several forms of strenuous emprise, never halts for A minute through a series of hazards and escapes that serve to cover the entire gamut of South Sea possibili- ties. Interesting? Firstrate in that respect. You are not asked to believe it. Instead, just go along, keeping up, if you can, with the wondrous to-do. BOOKS RECEIVED. NEWMAN AS A MAN OF LETTERS.

CADILLAC Sipremacy Rests Upon Mechanical Law - That NoOne Can Escape The sum total of Cadillac supremacy in the eight cylinder field is the fact that Cadillac advantages are exclusive in prin- ciple as well as in fact. The net truth is that no other type of eight can possess the advantages and features which are inherent in the Cadillac 90 degree V-Type Eight. Here are the Mechanical and Performance Reasons for Cadillac Leadership In the short Cadillac engine the fuel mixture to the various cylin- ders is more uniform. On the V- tance between carburetor and any cylinder is only about 34 the cor- responding distance of an alk-in- line engine. ‘The V-Type Cadillac is more effi- ciently cooled, because of the more uniform temperature of water around the various cylinders. A simple mathematical demon- stration proves that the 90 degree V-Type Eight such as Cadillac builds assures regular firing inter- 60 degree V-Type Eights. This results in a more uniform torque and even application of power, and greater smoothness particularly at low epeeds. In the Cadillac 90 degree V-Type Eight the “Vee" between cylinder blocks is wider, and consequently much more accessible for valve or carburetor adjustments. Last, but by no means least, is the inescapable fact that only the 90 degree V-Type Eight can utilize the natural compensating principle which is the root and source of the elimination of vibration. The V-Type Eight is shorter and ‘more oomp:t than any all-in-line engine of the same number of cylinders. More than that, it is shorter than any other engine with the same piston di hav ing four or more cylinders. And bear in mind that Piston Displace- ment has a direct bearing on Thus the Cadillac engine takes up less room in the chassis—aad al- lows more room for passengerspace. In the V-Type Eight the crank- shaft is shorter, more rigid and re- quires fewer bearings. In the . all-in-line types of eights from 7 to 9 bearings are needed—and with so many the alignment is difficult. The crankshaft of a V-Type Eight is much less subject to twist, thus eliminating torsional vibration. That is why a vibration dampener isunnecessaryon a V-Type Eight. Cadillac Invests $2,500,000 To utld World’s Best Motor Just this year Cadillac added $2,500 000 to itsalready great capital invest- ment—added this huge sum simply and solely to build into the new Cadillac the refinements which Cad- illac engineers had devised and perfected. Cadillac could have eliminated this additional investment—but then Cadillac could not be building the new Cadillac that is today setting the automobile public afire with enthusiasm. Cadillac is admittedly more difficult and more costly to build than other types. It is equally true that thisex- traman ringcostistransformed into user economy, long life, depend- ability and brilliant performance in a way and to a degree that no other type of eight can equal. Cadillac would not be Cadillac un- less it possesses exclusive advantages not to be found in other types. You will admit that as the result of its 11 years of continuous experience in building 90 degree V-type Eight Cylinder engines, illac is compe- tent to speak with the authority of experience. Cadillac says to you, definitely that oduce these advantages you to repr : must either reproduce the Cadillac or invent a whole new set of mechan- ical laws to take the place of those now in force on this earth.
