AWolume Concerned with Airmen and Aircraft—The Life and Letters of Thomas Jefferson — The Newest ~ Fiction From the Publishers. IDA GILBERT MYERS. AIRMEN _AND _AIRCRAFT. fes, U. 3. Army. Ronald Aeronautic Library. A ? ¥. Chandler, editor. New York: 'he Ronald Press Company. T gether with its limited bulk bound from the outset to at- tract attention, The purpose here is to present the subject, primarily, to the student of asronautics. But the simple and prac- tical projection of subject matter promises a wider acceptance. “Afrmen and Aircraft” is a compre- hensive study of admirable organiza- tion. The book surveys the art of flylng from ancient times up to present. It goes back into & mystic past when some primitive poet, gazing, rapt and envious, upon the flight of birds, envisaged man also. in such free and joyous possession of the skies, No doubt that.then, as now, the sober folks . roundabout looked upon dreams with scorn. Still, here and there. one made tentative and futile efforts toward this amazing end. A failure, yet, nevertheless, a feeble step, now clearly discernible, toward the splendid achievement. Swiftly the author moves through these earljer times, coming to point and pause and emphasis with the rapid practical advance in aeronau- tics that the stresses of the World War incited and produced. Along this course he presents the various kinds of alircraft appearing under such: keenly stimulated invention. Here" aeronautics - passes from trial and experiment "into practical ac- complishment. From the craft itself the author moves on to a study of the making of aviators, taking up certain natural aptitudes for the work and imposing upon these definite courses of instruction and training for the profession of air service. One finds here a dramatic sketch of famous flights, flights that stand pre- eminent for extent, or speed, or al tude. The crowning achievement, so far, is the rounding of the earth it- self by way of the air. Another sketch, equal in dramatic suspense, portrays famous pioneers of the air and great aces of the World War. ¥From such consideration Maj. Arnold takes up a survey of the com- merecial aspects of aviation. These include the United States Mail Serv- ice, the Aerial Forest Patrol, photog- Taphy, crop saving to the farmer, the United States aircraft industry ft- self. A reasoned vision of the future of asronautics brings the study to a close, save for Appendixes I, II, III, IV, each of which is a solid nugget of point and definite instruction, Such an introduction to aeronauti | is clearly calculated, not only to ad- ! vance the special study of the sub- Ject, but to promote a general interest in it as well. * ok % % LIFE AND LETTERS OF THOMAS JEFFERSON. By Francis W. New York: The Macmillan Company. 'HE wise author, like the good husbandman, times his planting to a harvest of general public demand. Such foresight among writers is in marked evidence this sesquicenten- nial period. Books, pamphlets, mono- graphs, in verse as well as in prose, celebrate the great line of events ris- ing out of that momentous year, 1776. Properly conspicuous in this commemorative outpouring are writ- inga and ceremonials in honor of Thomas Jefferson, author of that char- ter of American freedom that was signed by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. Just one hundred years ago on July 4 Thomas Jefferson died. S0 in a peculiarly special way does this yvear of celebration focus upon the life and work of this advocate of the cause of the people, upon this pro- tagonist of true democracy. A rich harvest of literature is at hand to meet the rekindled interest in Thomas Jefferson. Conspicuous in it is. a. splendidly effective study by Claude Bowers, who sets the vital drama of the ten-year struggle be- tween Jefterson and Hamilgon—be- tween conservative and radical, as they would be named in these days. fe and Letters of Thomas Jeffer- by Francis Hirst, an English writer on economics and politics, has an importance quite its own. Here is one on the outside looking in. The intelligent outsider’'s view is bound to B> a suggestive and helpful one. Here 18 a man of the same blood as that which declared against England. Another point of understanding con- tact. To these features of good equip- ment are added first-hand sources of information, letters and other docu- ments, not before available. This sum of advantage is brought to bear upon the familiar bulk of history sur- rounding the times and life of Jeffer- son. From the various periods set out here in detail it is Jefferson the reformer who emerges, Jefferson the progenitor of American democracy. In every official and unofficial " cir- cumstance Jefferson stands always for the great body of the people—in the franchise, in finance, in industry, in all the phases of life in the young Republic. Around this central figure the author spreads the history of America. in its progress from colonial dependencies to the English crown to that of a free and independent gov- ernment. A fair attitude before the great theme coupled with a complete body of information serves a his- toric purpose here that takes effect in a highly interesting and expert nrofection. A book to count of high worth in the literature of Thomas Jefterson. * % ¥ MY NEW YORK. By Mabel Osgood Wright, author of ‘“‘Birdcraft,” eotc, Illustrated by Ivin Sickels. New York: The Macmilian Com- pany. PIGI‘UR.I: and story are beautifully blended here, giving the reader a captivating view of the New York of 50 years ago. In a complete realism of effect Mrs. Wright does away com- pletely with the roaring metropolis of the present. The art of ignoring clear facts is here brought to perfec- tion—the gift of not seeing that which is as plain as the nose on one's face. There are times when this is a su- preme This is one of the times. Mrs. Wright, unconscious of the pres- ent, brings up the present of her own girthood, with its ways of amusement, its means of getting about, its gen- eral intérests and concerns, Under her genial leadership one goes to the theaters of that other day and tends the social flho ther in vogue. of all, one meets certain men that he had never ex- pected Emnl—wgmun (:ullgiI Bry- Civats, Gon.

D. Illustrated. Boston: Hough- ton Miffin Company. AMUEL MORISON'S fascinating setts” bears a roster of the clipper ships upon which one might take pas- sage in the middle of .the last century for some foreign port. This list in- cludes ships carrying the “black race. horse flag of William F. Weld & Co., a house which outlasted most of the merchant-ship owners of Boston, and after the Civil War owned the larg- est salling fleet in America.” Mrs. Anderson’s book presents the annals of this same Weld family “and some of its branches.” A descendant of this house of merchant traders, the author Kas dug from their history a stirring record of life in a period that is unsurpassed for the charm of true adventure in far and hazardous flelds— fields which today have become nar- nowed and relatively commonplace through so many agencles of easy communication. This is the story of a family—of two families, to be quite exact. And in this story the writer has to a most enjoyable degree pre- served the fine flavor of its earlier picturesque and robust existence. “Written for the family,” the book has, happily, come into the open with its clear appeal to any one who finds the days of the clipper ship the most irresistible days in the whole history of oyr country. * k% % THE LOVE OF MADEMOISELLE. By George Gibbs, author of “Mad Marriage,” etc. New York: D. Ap- pleton & Co. VIOUSLY, George Gibbs, novel- t, is tired, for the time being at least, with themes of modern cast, the miseries of marriage, the equal misery of unmarriage, harrowing prob- lems of the mals and the female of the specles, psychoanalysis, and all the rest of it. We too, are tired of this welter of social messiness. So when George Gibbs offers a robust story of the past we take it, rejofc- ing, and settle to' its unproblematical comforts. A lusty story, though, with plenty of intrigue and fighting in it, but it is welcome and whole- some stuff nevertheless. The lady exciting so much of love and trouble is of Huguenot breed. On one side of her is ranged a crafty Spaniard; on the other, a young and gallant sub- ject of Queen Elizabeth. And with the ready ald of these three the author turns off a swift love story and at the same time objectifies something of the spirit of the turbulent times in which the fortunes of these three are set. England, France and Spain, the dominant and warring countries of the 16th century, provide the stage for this spirited romance that reaches even to America for some of its most exciting moments. Fine and refreshing work, whose effect is that of sea winds and mountain storms to offset the doldrums of the bulk of current novels. * ¥ % % THE BLUE WINDOW. By Temple of “The y Cockade,” etc. Philadelphia: The Penn Publishing Co. ANO’!'HER story for young readers by Temple Bailey. This is the history of a girl who not only possesses ideals but who puts up a fight to maintain them as well. The stage for this contest is a simple one, but none the less rough for all that. Hardly any fleld for high endeavor can be -more discouraging than the dull and drudging life or the farm. But yéung heroines are commonly required to face difficulties of a depth to prove the stuff that is in them. A separated father and mother add compiexity to -this already cruel situation. The chief legacy of separated fathers and mothers is unhapiness to their chil- dren. The girl finally passes over to the father, no doubt to prove stily further that nothing can make her give up her dreams of a life that fs | beautiful and good. And, after trials of many patterns, all of them bearing the well known stamp of this romancer, the girl comes in a triumph over the general meanness of life to- ward those who fight for the fruits of the spirit and for the real beauty of existance. i BOOKS RECEIVE! !

To be prosaically literal, the local pole is, otherwise, the Center Market cold storage glult and has its king- dom above the vast place of stalls. When an elevator lands you above the arch that roofs the lower body of the building, a most kindly official, Mr. W. H. Rohrman, will introduce ¥ou to another official, Mr. John Mil- ler, and together they will escort your party to the frozen realms. ‘You ‘will be astonished at the un- expected expanse that divides itself o brick-walled corridors, vast rooms d deep-niched spaces, somewhat gloomy with shadows; as austersly neat as a medieval monastery, and with a breath of the chill that may be due to the passing of hand trucks of frozen slabs from the ice plant in an- other wing of the building or, per- ha promise of the frigidity to way leads over a bridge own on the market house, and from that height would have served an old Dutch master with paintings enough to fill a gallery of art—the harmonizing yellows of fruit the vivid reds of meats and berries, dashes of the royal purple of Tyre, as axpressed in e?phm and plums, and gorgeous splashes from flower stands that represent every color under the sun. Paper streamers, blown by elec. tric fans, crowded als! and p petual-motion market men give a spirit of carnival gayety to the pano- ramlc show that seems to belong to another world than the cold and quiet viewpoint. Another 'corridor, with shadows driven into far corners by here and there electric bulbs, and then a huge, heavy- ted door, which s un- locked and quickly closed as soon as the visitors are inside. It is a long, wide place, walled with snow, with a hufu pipe down the middle of the celling that looks as If it might be the North Pole itself. Like the walls, it is flully with snow that has frozen into crystal spikes—and hanging from the celling in rows are countless ani- mals that give you your first realiza. tion of beef. Each is frozen solid— the fat as yellow and relentlessly un- yielding as gold, and the Jean so much ruby stone..

The animals represent the stock from abattoirs or other owners, who rent space in the cold storage un- til ready to sell.

Another great room is fliled with sheep and lambs, their lacylike fat as delicately traced as if carved of ivory. Some hunter had stored a gigantic bear—his carcass so hard that even the fur was frozen stiff. In other rooms are stored poultry, vegetables, butter and so on—all gold and ivory and jade—with buckets filled with eggs that bakers buy when eggs are cheap and break and store by the gallons for their all-year mak- ings of cak And when your kindly Messrs.

The good Bamaritan's work includes inspection of many important news- papers of the country. In the course of each day he puts aside pages deal- ing with sports, soclety, dramatics, and so on, for colleagues interested in such activities, but the lllustrated pages that now feature the big dailies and which give colorful glimpses of the people and events in the spotlight were consigned to a wide- mouthed Oliver Twist of a basket that continually gapes. for “‘more.” One morning a woman helped her-/ self to a top layer of news pictures to look at while waiting for the mall. It seems she was a woman who dearly likes movies, but who.did not always feel like taking the trouble to go to the only show in her sec- tion—of & nearness that makes a strest car foolish, and yet a walk that covers a half-mile going and f- coming—and that she considered the | oy 0 illustrated pages almost as interest- ing as news reels on a screen. That was all there was to it, but: ‘The next thing the woman knew there was a neatly folded package of pieture pages on her desk—the begin- ning of a thoughtful kindness that has never ceased. To the good Bamaritan, it 18 a. kindness as im- personal as the salvaging of a tor- toise, but, as a variation from the usual small doings that make up an evening in the life of one who lives alone, you would really be surprised at the fun and the thrills to be got out of an hour’s look-see at pictures that portry the big things, good and bad, but never indifferent, that are front-staging this big, queer place we know as the world. Moreover, when the woman is through with her pictures they are n to another woman who has ittle time for reading—which shows how the tr(mng.thlnn that most of us scorn may be a big factor in the entertainment of others who do not happen to be like us, and who, be tween you “and me and the gate- post,” may be all the better for that same. The one thing about this gnat of an incident s the kindliness of a fellow creature who will take the time and trouble to give to others a pleasure with no sting to it. And kindness is oné of the most splendid things in the world! * % %% WOMAN walked alone in the dusk that was leadening into dark.

A “citizenship clinic” has been established by the Springfleld, Mass., league in a ‘congested downtown location. Energetic league members in New York State have laid the groundwork for recruiting voters. Porch parties and picnics to consider candidates and issues, county falr booths and several intriguing posters and specific instructions for voting are playing a part in the preparations for the September primary vote. “Register and Vote" stickers are reaching thousands of California citizens from the many groups of woman voters. Information booths where voters may obtain non-partisan election information and directions for voting, will be placed at strategic centers in Cleveland one week before the August 10 primary.

Another State flyer carries the notl- fication, ‘‘Stockholders’ Meeting of the U. 8.

The fact that this body of women, gathered {rom all over the world, adopted this resolution is looked upon by members of the Woman's Party as a sign that the women of the for- eign nations are becoming aroused to the possibilities for independence open to them through a universal fight for equality. Miss Pollitzer went from Dublin to London, where she addressed several meetings on the equal rights isgue. From mdon she expects to go to Paris to speak before other suffrage organizations, telling about the suc. cess of the woman's movement in this country. Miss Pollitzer was assisted in her efforts to have the equal rights reso- lution passed upon favorably at the Dublin convention by a group of rep- resentatives from the Woman's Party, including Miss Lucy Branham of Bal- timore, one of the national organizers; Mrs. Alice Park of California and Miss Anne Martin of Nevada. Mrs. Lola Maverick Lloyd of Chi- cago, former Illinols State chairman, was chairman of the resolutions com- mittee at the convention. * * x % IN response to an Invitation for the National Woman's Party to send speakers to the various internationai herings held in Geneva, Switzer- d, this past week Miss' Dorls Stevens, national vice president, spent several days in the Swiss city de scribing the progress and experience of American feminists in their fight for equality.

BARNES, Vice President International Chamber of Commerce. The American tradition of a pro- tective tariff has put us on the de- fensive with other countries. They tell us that America can not seil in the world unless it buys, and that is true. But we have a d fense. Those who use that expres- sion so lightly forget the detalls ot the trade figures by which they attempt to prove that we have here an_obstruction. Exports of $4,900,000,000 met lb(: \ Wi invisible exports of a total of $1,300,- 000,000, besides the surplus wealth of America flowing out to develop industries of other countries and the three-way exchange of commoditi which makes for a balance of fo ese things must not be ignored when we treat this techriical subject of the protect! tariff in America. I think it is ui disputed that American living stand- ards are the highest in the world. Repeated visits here of the repre- sentatives of other - countries to study our Industrial processes a the condition of our workers show should | that this is true. Danger in Lower Standards. One can see little good, but only harm, in any action which would drag down those living standards in- stead of preserving them as the i spiration for the worker and ‘the &m of other peoples and of other t : Planes Take Food to Alps.

He can aspire to own something of great value, and that is an exampl for the effort of other péoples. The fleld is limitless. There are 1,600,- 000,000 other humans in this world to learn what a man may aspire to possess, and use, and own. As com- munication spreads, the knowledge of what America—fortunate America, I admit—has been able to obtain by the application of science and inven- tion and sound economics, and sound political law as well, is disseminated.

Miss Matthews brought back some iriteres: ing sidelights upon this unique dem- onstration. Members of the Business and Pro- fessional Women's Club, as well as all other clubwomen whose pi m {in- cludes a study of working facilities for woman wage earners, will be in- tereated in the graphic exhibits pre- by the Woman's Bureau as a part of the Sesquicentenniel Exposi- tion in Phflldddphh. Paintings and stereopticon pletures reveal the problems of women in in- dustrial - flelds today. The pictures are shown on a. blllboard bearing the words, “The Home Maker as Wage Earner,” a problem piay in four acts. “Any Girl," the chief figure {n the legrorical play depicted, is carried through a series of adventures such as are the everyday lot of girls forced by family misfortuns to “travel the path of the wage earner.” Her difficuities, first as a you: ‘worker in the “Forest of Prejudice, next as a matron, and later as a widow, (n ~an industrial position, ided to home cares,jand finally as a ‘worn-out old woman, the victim of poor industrial conditions, are con- trasted with the easler and happler life of the woman who works in a plant with good industrial standards. Changes in i{ndustrial methods, to- gether with the progress of womern in industry are told by means of an automatic dileneascope. The screen on which the story is told is set in the back of an enormous book en- titled, “Women Who Toll and Spin Through the Ages,” flanked by two other large books containing paint- ings of women spinning and weav- ing 1776, 1826 and 1926. Other features of the exhibit which are particularly impressive are the illystrations on a screen of the stand- ards for wage earning women adve cated by the Women's Bureau, aug- mented by actual factory equipment, such as model seats, first aid cabinets and sanitary drinking, washing and tollet facilities, and the interior of a factory employing woman workers under model conditions containing a. motion picture which shows not only’ the hardships confronting women but, what s imore important, the means for overcoming these drawbacks. .. A REPLICA of the Loxley House. famed as the rendezvous of patriots during the Revolution, and «s the home of Capt. Loxley, who had charge of the first fireworks display celebrating the sjening of the Declara- tion of Independence in Philadelphia, has been chosen by members of the Philadelphia City Federation of Wom- en’'s Clubs as headquarters for visit- ing federated club women at the Ses- quicentennial. The house has been reproduced in complete detail, even to furnishings, by the women's commit- tee of the exposition, as a part of its contribution to the reproduction of the old High street of 1776, one of the most picturesque features of this mammoth celebration. The Quaker City federation of 300 member clubs, under the leadership of the president, Mrs. Montrose Gra- ham Tull, has furnished and repeopled Loxley House in such a way as to bring back the very atmosphere and spirit of '76. A permanent hostess is in charge, assisted by additional daily hostesses, drawn frem different clubs each week, who insure a personal welcome to every visiting club woman during the Sesqui. In addition to this hospitality, visit- ing club women will find that the New Century Club, College Women's lub and the Women's City Club keep ‘'open house” several afternoons each week at their downtown clubhouses, especially for the pur of enter- taining those attending the exhibition.

C. than most anybody else, will broadcast every Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, begin- ning tomorrow. Mrs. Melick will tell the club women within radio hearing of her voice, some of the historic fea- tures of High street—the joy and pride of the women's committes of the Sesquicentennial—and other ex- position attractions of special interest to club women. xR 188 ALICE EDWARDS, execu- tive secretary of the Home Eco- nomics Association, and Miss Keturah Baldwin, business manager of the Journal of Home Economics, are leav- ing for Asheville, N.
