The CURRENT MAGAZINES.

Mr.. Walter Camp, whose article on
College Football in the November Gen.
fury is the first OF series by Mr..
Camp on amateur athletics in America
places much emphasis on personal
character and high standards of sports
manship, and considers the actual WIN
ming of victories a second considera-
ton. 1t is believed that the articles
which The Century is to print will
give the public clear idea of college
sports as they are conducted today,
and will cause the father to find in
renewal of his youth a new note OF
sympathy and closer fellowship with
his son and his sons interests.
DR.. Woods Hutchinson's article,
Bringing the Outdoors Indoors is
the leading feature of popular inter-
est in the Outing Magazine for Novem-
Der. In this Dr. Hutchinson has some
trenchant things to say regarding the
right and the wrong ways employed
by people to get good air into their
houses. His suggestions are of con-
siderable practical value.
Other features of importance are:

try by Rail- by Edward Hungerford;

Appropriately enough, both love and
politics figure in the plot of Mary I'M
lay Taylor's new novel, 1.-The Mag
nate of Paradise politics being ap.
propriate to the season, and love to
all seasons. The story is published
complete in the November Lippin-
colts, which. by the way is an extra
ordinarily fire number. The scenes
of THE Magnate" are laid in the ma
tons capitol and in a live town in
Missouri While the name given to
the latter is fictitious, the place is
quite likely to be recognized by those
who live or have lived there. Like
other municipalities not confined to
Missouri, the town is ruled by polit-
ical gang They are opposed by a
young lawyer, who as district attor-
ney, undertakes to cleanse the towns
Augean stables and replace the rule
of might by the rule of right. Unfor.
tunately, Holland-the district attor-
ney-is in love with the ward of the
Magnate of Paradise, who is the head
and moving spirit of the machine.
All sorts of underaand schemes arc
resorted to in order to down the re
former, and things look dubious fol-
a while. Eventually, however, the
citizens awaken to the fact that Hol
land is fighting their battles for them
and give him enthusiastic, if tardy
support TIE Magnate and his bench
men are overthrown, and the very
likable hero wins the very lovable
heroine. There are some intensel.
dramatic scenes, and t1e interest i.
not permitted to lag for a moment
There are some remarkable shor
stories in this issue. One of them i.

ion Hill, author of THE Pettisor

and subtle humor, with a dash o
pathos by way of seasoning. Low,

Maury Coombs, is a striking tale 0
