 The How and Why of Motoring" The editor of this unique feature is
 MT. E, Ralph Estep. an expert who has followed motoring for the past ten years and than whom no motor writer in America is better fitted to conduct such a department. Hereaf- ter every motorist will find something of special interest to him in The Red Book Magazine quite apart from the clever automobile stories that for Isome months past have been 8 feature Iof this admirable magazine of enter tainment. Such story Inez Haynes Gilmore contributes to the September issue in her vivacious chronicle Cupid
 Ex Machina." Many other excellent features appear in this issue.
 The lover of music will be glad to
 know that a new feature of The Cir cle is a page of original music by well known composers. "The Song of the
 Poacher," by Louis F. Gottschalk in Ithe September number, Is a fine, swinging song for bass or baritone voice. The departments are stronger each month, because the leading arti-
 cles are written by psople who are tauthorities in their special lines. As
 an example, the celebrated organist,
 MT. William c. Carl, has an article in 1 the Music Circle entitled, What a Successful Organist Should Know. |" And MT. Dan Beard, known every
 where as the boys best friend, has
 taken charge of a department especi- ally devoted to their interests. The
 ohter twenty three departments are equally strong and practical.

Of Justus Miles Forman, whose novel, The Stumbling Block" is re- viewed above this biographical sketch lis given:
 Justus Miles Forman, author of "A
 Stumbling Block" is still young, be- ing but litle more than thirty years l of age. He was born in the town of Le Roy, in Genesee county, N. Y. MT. Forman is graduate of Yale, and
 after leaving college decided to de-
 come painter, and with that career in view studied for time in Paris, in the Atelters Julien, under Bourgue- reau, Boshehet and others. Painting,
 however, did not long remain the ob- iject of his ambition He felt impeil- ed to write stories, and from the first he was successful in his new field. From being writer of short stories he naturally developed into writer
 of novels and produced a story of the
 eastern shore of the Adriatic. He realized, however, that his greatest
 efficiency lay in writing of the present
 day-in setting forth the romance and the story interest that lie all about us,
 here and in the 20th century.
