' It consists of the hearty disclosures of Lowell ~-gchmaltza of Zenith--in pullman por smokers, hotel rooms and in the ®- privacy of his own home--wherein **}e describes his visit to the White % Heuse and other dramatic episodes ot his life and incidentadly tells all about himself. «= "Deadlock", by V. V. Vieressaev, is one of the most interesting nov- els of Russia under Soviet rule, e-which has yet appeared. It de- scribes life in a small Crimean « town during the years when Reds and Whites were fighting for con- 2°'trol of the country, and is frank % in the descriptions of the excesses .0of both parties.

"Chaps and Chukkers" shifts from the atmos- phere. of the western ranch to that of a Long Island pole match. "The Little Shepherd of Lava Lake" is a tale of the mystery of the oasis of Lava Lake, mystery of a big, hard-riding western engineer, of tricky lawyers, of kidnappings and sudden fights. "Cotton," by Jack Bethea, is a story of the southern states. The hero, sn of an unsuccessful tenant farmer of the Black Belt, under- takes an ambitious campaign of scientific cottoo- raising, warehous- ing and marketing. The readers of "Jonah and Co." will welcome the new novel by the same author, Dornford Yates, and of the same people, in "Berry & Co." The story concerns the four Pleydells and their cousins, Jonah and Jill Mansel. Not only has Berry & Co. the same effervescent spirit of fun, but it also deals with the same characters, in a period just antedating that df Jonah, The Pleydell clan at this time is only five, but the romance of Boy Pler- dell, the narrator, raises the num- ber to six at the conclusion of the story. "Peace or War?" by J. M. Ken- worthy, is a stern indictment of war, written by a British labor leader and ex-military man. It shows how all modern wars have their true inception in internation- al rivalry and capitalistic intrigue, while their ostensible reason is some unselfish ideal. He points out the failure of the League of Na- tions and advocates the American plan for the outlawry of war. Sao few books have been writs ten on Siberia that "Tigers, Gold and Witch-doctors," by G. B. Dig- by, is especially welcome, A gift for seeing the unusual and. pie- turesque and recording it in vivid impressionistic description marks this entertaining account of travel adventure by an American jonr- nalist in Trans-Baikal, Sibera. The smuggling of gold in Chinese corpses, the practice of tying gay rag offerings on holy bushes, the theft and disappearance af a whole train are among the occurrences recounted. "The Road to Plenty," by W. T. Foster, is a different kind of book on economics, In almost fictional form and hy the use of parables, the author sanely and clearly dis- cusses the present economie situa- 'tion, with particular reference to ever-production and under-con- sumption and points out the way to a solution, Technical terms are omitted. The average thinker whether he be a business man, so- cial worker, or trade unionist, will appreciate this discussion. Pre- sented in conversation hetween the "gray man," a lawyer, a professor, a business man, and a *'red-haired orator." The library has added several more of Bernard Shaw's works to their collection. 'Three Plays for Puritans," Plays Pleasant and Un- pleasant," *Saint Joan," "Heart- break House" and other plays have heen added to the drama.

Some line of guidance was fumnished ag the result of a conference Wednes- day of a sub-committee, which is to do the actual drafting, in which some progress already has been made. It is hoped to have the re- port before the House by today. From all that could be gathered yesterday, the report is not likely to find any fault with those who have been responsible for the ad- ministration of the system, al- though, in the system itself, chang- es will be suggested. Encouragement for "the migra- tion of youths of the 'teen' age, and, in that regard, the co-opera- tion of the provinces, will be favor- ed. Such a scheine now works well in some of the provihces.
