n,HE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION
OF THE UNITED STATES OF

AMERICA. BY John A. Fairlie, PhD,
assistant professor of administrative
law University of Michigan New
York: The Macmillan Company.
Washington: Brentanos.
With all the exhaustive books on eae
processes of the American government there
has not until now been produced work
dealing exclusively and Complementary
with the federal administration as d-s-
tinct institution The government as
whole the Constitution, the judiciary. the
legislature. political machinery and state
f,oyernmsnts have all been specially treat
I'd, but it has remained for DIR. Fairlie to
undertake an exhaustive description of the
real executive function OF the government.
His performance of this task is completed
at a fortunate time, for 1t may be doubted
If there was ever keener public interest
IN the inner workings of the national adj
Ininistration than at present. Whetlttr 1t
he that the personality of the President
hes aroused popular attention or not. the
fact remains that there is now being

tations and It's powers, and the part played
by the Congress in the purely administra.
tive functions of the government. Each
executive department is examined in detail
and the circumstances which gave rise to
the organization and the development OF
these subordinate executive branches are
stated clearly and consecutively. Citations
of leading decisions and historical refer
ences suggest to the student the means OF
more exhaustive research and add greatly
to the practical value of the work as a
guide to a full understanding Of the fed

THE POCKET BOOKs-THE MOTOR
MANIACS. BY Lloyd Osbourne. au-
thor of "The Ebb Tide" &c. indiana
apolis: The Bobbs-Merrin Company.
Three of these stories of motoring fairly
vibrate with the throb of the engines and
are redolent of the odor of gasoline. They
are true to the least pulsation Of the mo-
tormaniac's heart In sympathy with the
revolutions of his machine. They involve
romantic elements. The little god with
the bow and arrows guides the steering Of
the cars into the paths where true love
will have fair chance to run smooth, at
least until the machine kinks. Mr.. Os-
bourne has assembled the elements OF the
new vocabulary of motoring and cleveriy
injected them into his stories, so that the
devotees of the sport will understand the
slightest twist and turn of meaning and
alluslon. while the novice, even the motor

Sons. Washington: Woodward &

Sir Leslie Stephen passed through a conn
pletc but not extraordinary change OF phfl-
osophical View after his graduation from
Cambridge and during his work as clerical
fellow at that institution, and he turned
from the religious field into journalism in
consequence of his new convictions In the
new fieid he achieved distinction as writer
and thinker and as an essayist he has been
acclaimed SIS one of England's foremost
producers. In this volume are reprinted
certain Of his earlier essays originally pub
lished in England and the United States In
1873, but for a number of years cut of print
It is believed that they contain the germs
of some of the thoughts which he later de-
veloped and which are now identified with
his name in the philosophical world The
biographical sketches by James Bryce and
Herbert Paul afford differing but not con-
ficting views of Stephens character and
add a new value to q collection that was
Of itself well worth Eeprinting.

tanos.
No man of genius has occasfoned more
in teresting discussion than Whistler. He
has that peculiar personal force which
arouses the partisan in every man, and
does away with neutral judgment. He has
been the object Of tempestuous criticism
and impassioned admiration. The extrava-
gance of the public reached Its height at
the time of Ruskin's violent attack ard
Whistler's suit for libel No case on record
could have been more whimsical but the
eccentricity which Whistler displayed on
that occasion was shot with genius. Some
years later he recorded his various con-
troversfes under the following title: THE
Gentle Art of Making Enemies" as pleas
ingly exemplified in many instances, where
in the serious ones of this earth, carefully
exasperated, have been prettily spurred on
to unseemliness and indIscretion. while
overcome by an undue sense of right" The
present writers have wisely guarded them
selves against the danger of interesting the
reader in Whistlers eccentricity at the ex-
pense of his real greatness, and they have
avoided. as far as possible any discussion

fMrs. G. r. Alden), author of Mara"

Pansy's earlier writings, numbering more
than 100 books, were for younger children.
Her recent writings, however, have been
for youth and adults and have shown
steady growth in strength and general in
terest. In David Ransom" she has ere
ated a noble and unselfish character, such
as are still found in the world in spite OF
so many worse people. 1t Is a story of
love and purity, where the better affections
are set toward the richer things of life.
David's steadfast consideration for others
reaps a deserved reward, and 1t is good to
read of him.
HOW TO KNOW OF THE WILD
FRUITS; a Guide to Plants when not

Leaf. By Maude Gridley Peterson.
Illustrated by Mary Elisabeth Her
bert. New York. The Macmillan
Company. Washington: Brentano's.
If all country-goers would read the at
tractive books that are laid before them by
botanists and publishers there would be
greater happiness in the world. for there
would be a wider acquaintance with all the
forms of existence. Here is book that
fills a gap heretofore left open in the list
of nature publications. The wild fruits are
among the commonest growths; in the fields
and woods A few of them are familiar,
but many are strange to the average per-
son who strays beyond the city limits.
Some OF the preceding books have included
the fruit plants with others relating TO the
wild flowers, but this classification is faulty
in that 1t leaves no place for the guidance
of the country-goer after the plants nave
ceased to flower. The book is conscien-
tiously prepared with full-detailed text and
many illustrations.
