Separate articles on insurance which have been appearing in McClure's Mag azine have been collected by their au- thor, Burton J. Hendrick, and are now issued under the title "The Story of Life Insurance, by Messrs. Mcclure, Phillips & Go. MT. Hendrick has been writing special articles for a long time past on various topics of the day, and owing to many requests for the pre- sentation of his life insurance articles in book form, especially from life in- surance agents, he undertook the work. He has written an introduction for the book, setting forth the reasons that led him to write the articles, and has re- vised each of the latter. The book is strikingly interesting in its description of the causes that led to the insurance scandals of 1905-6. New Haven will take a special interest in MT. Hen drick's success, ably won, in the liter ary field, both in high-class newspaper work in New York and in his magazine and book work. MT, Hendrick, it will be well remembered, is Yale gradu- ate and former New Haven journal ist.

The old Greek Press of Chicago an- ncunces two novels. "Six Mad Men" by Rix Faber, and "The Lovers Club by Philetus Brown, but those are not the authors real names. Fifteen years ago in New York there was a group of ambitious young men calling them selves "The Creeks, of whom the late Richard Hovey, poet and dramatist
 rapidly achieved literary fame Among the number were "Rix Faber" and "Philetus Brown" whose masterpieces are now published by the manager of the Old Greek Press, who was himself one of "The Greeks" Rix Faber" is understood to be wealthy merchant and politician. "Philetus Brown" died in 1901 without having seen one of his numerous works in print. His "Lov- CTS Club" Is truly a strong, truthful intelligent, dramatic study of passion, for is not love a passion? The book is written in a whimsical sympathetic style, and there are many little tales within it's greenish-blue covers. The Old Greek Press of Chicago, New York and Boston, are the publishers.

Commercial Raw Materials, Their Origin, Preparation and Uses," by Charles R. Toothaker, curator of the Philadelphia museums; 1OS pages; list price $1.25; mailing price $1.S5
 This is a comprehensive and eonven- iently arranged handbook describing briefly the important materials which enter into the commerce of the world The substances are traced from their sources in the animal, vegetable or mineral kingdom, through the various processes of preparation to their final uses. The things which are of great est commercial importance are treated in greatest detail, such articles as cot ton, sugar, woods, rubber, silk, iron and coal being described at considera- ble length.
 The author has had unusual oppor- tunities to become familiar with com mercial materials at first hand, and the information embodies in this book has been largely gathered from recent data and observation. The descriptions are superior to most others published, in that when processes differ in various places the essential principles common to all are emphasized. The charts of geographic distribution show by depth of shading which regions are most im- portant, and will be found especially useful.
 The book is especially adapted to the use of students in the commercial de- partments of high schools and univer- sities, and will do much toward mak ing it possible to present such courses in the study of the materials of com merce as are prominent in the commer- cial schools of Europe, Teachers of geography in all grades, even in the lower schools, will find this book use- full since it gives them needed infor- nation on the products of the world.

CARTER CAR TO LEAVE

To those interested in the welfare Of

will be learned with genuine regret that

COACHING UNINTELLICENCE.

That there were only two finished
crews on the Hudson does not reflect
creditably upon the intelligence Of those

WHITE STEAMERS
GREAT SHOWING
Winning of Hover Trophy
Proved Its Real
Worth.

The winning of the Hover, trophy by
the White runabout was a f1tung climax
to the splendid work OF the Whites
throughout the Glidden tour, where this
make was the only one represented by
three or more cars which was not pen
allied.
In the contest for the Hover trophy
thirteen cars started from Cleveland on
the Glidden tour. and two of these, one
of which was the White runabout
driven by H. X. Sheridan. reached New
York with perfect scores. These two
cars were at once placed in the garage
pending a decision with reference TO
the manner Of deciding the tie Great
interest was aroused by the prospect Of
a contest between the steam car and
the gasoline car and considerable money
was wagered on Sheridan at odds of
80 to 30.
Difficult Schedule.
At a meeting between the two con-
testants and Mr.. Hover. 1t was agreed
20 start from New York, and 10 run
until one or the other Of the cars was
penalized. The rules governing the
Glidden tour were to apply to the sup
Elementary contest. with the important
additional requirement that an observer
be carried on each of the cars.
On the first day Of the contest, Mon
day, July %, the two cars ran TO Albany,
eight hours and thirty minutes being al
lowed for the 155-mile run. On the sec
Ond day they continued to Syracuse, 1872
miles. the schedule being seven hours
and forty-five minutes. The third day
run, from Syracuse TO Buffalo. l63 miles,
proved TO be the last, as the White
was the only car to arrive on schedule
time.
