$2.50. Reviewed By Robert Cranford When A newspaperman writes a novel, it is likely to be delightfully free of the vain imaginings of the fictionist as well as the specialized balderdash that too citen characterizes the pennings the pseudoartist striving to be highbrow. Rathof the of the er, the nature work is likely to inspire an Rupress thor from the press story of realthe realm 1sm, entirely within possibility and offering something new and original AS to plot and structure. Lionel Houser's new book Such is will -his first, in fact. Truly, few deny that the story of dead man's search for his own murderer is cne of the strangest adventures In all fiction.
Yet the story itself convinces the reader that such an venture could easily befall one in Norris Haldorn's place. The tale begins on the Irrawady river, under the boiling Burma sun, where the heir to millions and lovely young woman are held under the terms of an eccentric father's will. Things happen quickly when An illegitimate half-brother of the hero appears and steals the girl and the fortune and the legitimate brother's name and place in life and leaves the hero for dead on an island the Indian hapless, ocean. The imposter is later murdered in San Francisco, and thus Norris Haldorn is placed in the position of 8 dead hunting his own murderer. The account of the unraveling of the muddled circ*mstances surrounding the purported slaying of himself makes Tor most entertaining reading.
The plot is not without its gruesome aspects. For instance, Hymie Gold, legless racketeer and eccentric, developed a maddening to possess Night Gambier's legs, and during a gale in which his old gambling ship anchored, off San Francisco was moorings, the insane gangster trims the legs off a sleeping henchman he thinks is the beautiful lady. Of course, the villians are washed away in the storm and the hero heroine are saved by clinging to boat until Bide the waters of the bay again becomes placid. Swift action throughout arranged In logical sequence and with a climax which would make a successful screen epic, the book is likely to hold the interest of the most exacting reader." The only adverse criticism I can And 15 this: Norris Haldorn, the hero, would undoubtedly command higher degree of respect for his readers, especially of the south, had he not engaged in a love affair with 8 Burma maid. But never having been forced to spend a long convalescence in Burma out of sight cf a single white inhabitant, I cannot say that I would be impregnable.
So perhaps that criticism is not well grounded. Taken AS a whole, the book is well worth the time spent in its reading, and after this introduction to the literary editor of The San Francisco News, I am anxiously awaiting his second novel, to be published some time this spring. Harper Editor Is Back From Europe Eugene F. Saxton, editor-in-chief. of Harper and Brothers, has just returned from several weeks abroad visiting Harper authors in England and France.

Miss Delafield, whose "Provincial Lady in London" being read with enthusiasm in this country, has a play which has just had its London premiere, and is kept busy with two regular feature articles in London magazines. She hopes to visit America next October. Mr. Ervine has now completed his biography of General Booth which will be published in the early autumn.

It 18 neither. It is the name of a river that became the last throne of two powerful Queens. Swinging back through the centurles to one of the queer cults that she delights in depicting, Miss Meagher's book does not have a definite plot, but is rather the delineation of the custom and lives of the strange race of Amazon women. She pictures their warlike lives and their pursuits in peace with a series of word pictures. At the time of the narrative two powerful queens were ruling the nation of Amazonia.

Andrew Jackson Hero Of James Biography Author of "The Raven" Presents Frontier Presi- Shaw dent In Interesting Man- ANDREW THE BORDER CAPTAIN. Marquis James. JACKSON, 641 pp. The Bobbs Merrill Company, Indianapolis.
$3.75. Reviewed by Walter Spearman. The colorful personality of Andrew Jackson surpassed even the colorful career of that frontiersman President. And in the new blography by Marquis James the vividness with which the color Is expressed 1s combined with a scholarly thoroughness of sources and attention to details. From the early dispute as to whether Jackson was born in North or South Carolina on to his tirement at the Hermitage near Nashville the life of this fascinating backswoodsman-fighter 1s portrayed definitely, clearly and always entertainingly.
Marquis James and Archibald Henderson may disagree 85 to whether Jackson was born in the McKemey house or the Crawford house -but it makes little difference to the reader. Life in Mecklenburg Certainly the description of Andy's early days in "garden of the Waxhaws," of the incident when the pallbearers lost his father's corpse, of his own fight with the British in Mecklenburg county, of his love for co*ck fighting and horses, is a vivid and interesting bit of biography. Native Mecklenburgers should be particularly interested in the reference to old Mecklenburg and its hearty drinking parsons. After the death of his mother and brother in the Revolutionary War, young Andrew wandered on to Salisbury, where he made a name for himself in cack-fighting and legal circles and where he helped to manage the famous Christmas ball by inviting two of the town's notorious women attend. On into the wilds of Tennessee, to his meeting and love affair with Rachel Robards, to legislature, to war and finally to glory and fame at New Orleans runs the account of the author as he traces the development of Andrew Jackson.
Again and again are his dominant traits brought out--courage, fiery temper, unflinching self-interest, and the eternal desire for power. The Hermitage After his questionable adventures in Florida, which were censured by the United States legislature, Andrew Jackson retired to his home at the Hermitage, expecting to enJoy a few quiet years with his beloved Rachel. When discussed for the presidency of the United States, he said: "Do they think I am such a damned fool? No, sir, I know what I am fit for. I can command a body of men in a rough way, but I am not ft to be President." So ends the first volume, but Mr. James has given assurance that he is at work on another volume, which will no doubt see Jackson safely into the presidential chair, where he will demonstrate his ability to command the entire nation "in a rough way." Since the author has succeeded in introducing his hero so skillfully as the border captain," we are eager to continue his blography and complete the story of this President who carved out his own future as ruthlessly and as forcefully as he carved out the frontiers of a nation.

247 pp. New York: Harper and Brothers. $2.00. Revlewed by Robert Worth Clarence Budington Kelland's "Claude" is king of the Croonersand what does it matter that he owes his kingdom to a queer slip of the knife in a throat operation which resulted in putting tremors into the singing of "love" and "above" and "peace" that never were written by the composer? Claude was discovered at a small town strawberry festival, brought to metropolis to croon over the radio, soon became the GreatGod-Crooner's gift to neurotic women and the nation's horde of SOciety debs and shop girls. Claude was a simple soul liked to putter about in his radio shop, but he soon a learned that "the great crooner" get his own way by going temperamental and saying "Preposterous!" to things he disliked doing.
Smooth railing was his until his unfortunate naivete got him engaged to three women at the same timeand until a bad cold made another operation necessary, an operation which cured the previous "slip" of the doctor's knife, brought back his natural voice and ended the career of a crooner. This 1s an entertaining tale as are most of Mr. Kelland's literary caricatures, from the puerile Mark Tidd to the omniscient Scattergood Baines. It moves rapidly along in the approved Saturday Evening Post style and will no doubt bring enjoyment and a pleasant evening's reading to both the fair ladies who whisper sugared words back into the radio for their sweet crooners and to their irritated spouses who would like to throw a brick at the slippery- voiced idol who can break happy home without even appearing on the scene.

In the countryside sketches one sees portrayed with infinite beauty the economy, the impartiality, the drama and the fueds of nature. There is the stream winding its leisurely way; the star-flights of swifts; the hills at dusk, their beauty enhanced by the last rays of the setting sun; the contest between a falcon and a raven with a dead jackdaw as prize; a summer afternoon by the sea where the is seen the "game called by some the Harmony of fly caught by a wasp and the wasp, in turn, seized by an aerymouse.

Life Stories Of Many Men Told In Book "Friends Of Men" Includes Biographies Of Leaders Written In Style Of Chats. FRIENDS OF MEN. By Charles Franklin Thwing, 479 Pages. Macmillan Company.
$3. Reviewed by Edward Keys. Charles Thwing's latest blography is 8 second series of his book, "Guides, Philosophers and and like his first volume portrays in brief sketches the characters of great men such as Woodrow Wilson. Phillips Brooks. William Howard Taft.
David Starr Jordan, Arthur James Balfour, Walter Hines Page. Barrett Wendell and many others of equal repute. The author writes of these benevolent men with an inItimacy that comes from personal relationship and makes the note of personality constant and interpretative in each biographical sketch. Thwing's method of treating his material 1S unusual and instead of the customary dryness found in this field of writing. the author and reader seem to carry on a friendly chat, analyzing a weakness found in one of the characters, pointing to some formative incident in childhood responsible for this weakness an instructional discussion on the reason for success failure of some ambition.
The author quickly gains interest and admiration of the reader by his tactful, timely use of humor and those who love a well plotted, beautifully written chapter will find continued source of pleasure in the deftness with which he swiftly concludes a sketch. The following example of this cleverness, combination of pathos and wit, the was concluding phrase of 011e of the biographical chapters: 'Both smile and a tear for Willam Everett." Most biographers in their. portrayal of the life of Woodrow Wilwrite with greater emphasis on his terms as President of the United States, since this period the most important of his career. Realizing this, Thwing has written only of Wilson's life through days President of Princeton consequently has presented more completely facts of Wilson's early life that have only been vaguely mentioned in other biographies. When the last page has been carefully read and the reader, with 8 sigh of satisfaction, leans back in his chair thoughtfully considering the merit of book and author.
a half-formed, almost sub-conscious impression that the author could included a sketch of his life the biography and still have remained within the boundaries of modesty, will persistently wedge its way into his reflections. I Wanted -Automotive 17 CASH PAID FOR USED CARS. H. A. McGinn.
