her great grandmother who was nL- teen years old ar the time of the Rev. olutiOn, she gained much information concerning Colonial times. Her great gTeat-grandfather on the maternal side was an officer in the English army serving in the French and Indian war with General Israel Putnam on Lake Champlain and in the Canadas. This -great-grandfather being cap tured by the Indians. was forced to run the gauntlet. and though terribly maimed was not killed. He was af- terwards awarded the gauntlet belt, which rendered the wearer immune from savage attacks. What wonder with such blood in her veins that Mrs. JOcelyn is able to write one of the most fascinating stories published since the days of J: Kenmore Cooper.

 Helen Leah Reed has written in Amy in Acadia" the first volume of a second series of the popular "Bren- da' books. Readers of the latter sto- ries will remember Amy as one of the minor characters surrounding Brenda. In the new book she is the chief per sonage, although almost as important are two younger girls, one from Chi cago, the other from Plymouth, who make the tour of Acadia with Amy and her mother. Acadia itself, the publishers, Littis, Brown and CoMpa- ny. say, ''is a fine background for a story. WitE it's beautiful scenery and historic associations in which French and English have almost equal parts; and Amy and her friends have some inter, sting experiences among the de- scendants of the eXiled Acadians in the romantic region of Clare" Miss Reed is q Canadian by birth, though she has lived most of her lifv in Boston. The scene of her new girls book is laid partly in Annapolis county, N. S.,
 where her grandfather held various governmental positions.

Professor Woodbewys new book, "The, Torch" recently brought out by McClure-Phillips, is full of ideas on lit erature and life that will prove origi- nal and perhaps startling to many readers. Those in particular who be- lieve that the preservation of the white race at all costs is absolutely es- sential to human progress will be struck by his contrary assertion that it is only by it's death and disappear ance that a well-developed race is able to fulfill it's mission of passing on the torch of culture and progress. But then this is, after all, the usual pro cess of nature, which levels whole for ests and enguIfs life in all it's count less forms to enrich the soil and bring forth more perfect species. According to Professor Woodberry, therefore, when we see a great race decay or dissolve like the Greeks or Romans, we see the rise of a new and wider spread of civilization throughout the world. Referring to the ever present race pro- bIem in America, he says: If the ar istocracy of the whole white race is so to melt in the, world of the colored races of the earth. l for one should only rejoice in such a divine triumph of the sacrificial idea in history, for it would mean the humaniZation of man. kind" In striking contrast to this is the position taken by Professor Smith in his recent book, "The Color Line" where he holds that one drop of Afri-
 can blood in the veins means ruin to the individual and miscegendation the i destruction of the race.

The Boston Advertiser we'll says of it: "How Mark Strong, stngle-handed, resisted fierce encroachments of the mine workers union, and how equally plucky in love, he wins his hard fight for woman's hand,-about these themes the author writes a sizzling story, brimful of action and indicating more than superficial knowledge of rio- tous features almost invariably at lending strikes in the mines. The cursing, the guzzling. the bursts of brutal rage, and the blind instinct to destroy life and property, are sketched in with a display of the course of events usually provoked when troops are called. The strike in the Two Brothers is a close study.
 Incidentally the author argues for the ''open shop" Strong, hero noth- ing daunts. is heartily in favor of or ganized labor, but he resists firmly the unions attempt to dictate whom he shall employ. The story's sentimental interest centres in Junoesque Julia, sought by Strong and another mine owner, @ roue; though subordinate, it lsmTill satisfy those who must have can- dy in every story

what do you think, that dead camel that
the Arabs made dad pay for was With

We saw him out OF the car window with
the hair wore on where dad kicked him
In the side. The tourists say the Arabs
have that camel trained TO die every day

make some tenderfoot pay for him at the
end OF each journey. Dad is going 10 try
