"Colonel Todhunter OF Missouri"


BY Ripley D. Saunders The Bobbs-

The appeal OF Colonel Todhunter OF
Missouri lies in its delightful charac-
ter drawing. particularly that of the
colonel; in It's picturesque local color,
which has also the charm of novelty
sind5 Missouri Is less exploited in fic.
ton. perhaps. than any Of the other
southern States. in it's good dialogue
Its pervasive humor, and, above all. in
It's humanness. The colonels Wit NH :
!osophy and shrewdness are always ad-
equate, and his whole hearted affection,
his couragc, his loyalty. his genuine
ness arc irresistible.
The vernacuiar, atmosphere, types
and politics of the book show that the
author has studied or absorbed the
environment. the conditions. the peo-
pie and their daily talk to the best pos
siblc purpose, and the book possesses
a humor and freshness that thorough
~ recommend it.

No Future Plans.

DR.. Henry van Dyke. who has re-
Gently severed his connection with
Princeton University, declares that he
has formed no plans for the future
except to go on writing and preach
ing. Dr.. van Dykes unusual gifts
quality him TO do both. His mission
seems to be to draw closer the con-
nect'on between letters, religion and
every day life. So, perhaps, his resig-
nation from Princeton may prove,
after all, one of the fortunate acci-
dents OF literature.

"Whcn God Laughs

"whcn God Laushsr
BY Jack London. The Macmillan
Company, of New York. $3.50
Jack London Is known throughout the
literary world for his strong individ-
uaiity. that imparts to whatever no
writes a freshness and virility which
Immediately attracts attention, wheth-
er the reader Endorses the authors
views Or not.
His new book is volume OF short
stories. the initial story furnishing a
title that is part OF Jack Iondon's
uniqueness, and is born Of his idea
that God laughs 10 scorn the puny
efforts of humanity to set aside laws
which arc made to be kept, and not to
be broken.
The stories in the book cover a wide
range, but they are all Interesting
Many of them are love stories depart
Ing from the serious purpose that often
runs through Jack London's writing,
TO take UP the more personal and ro-
mantle phase OF life. One of the most
delightful of these is called "a Wicked
woman; one OF the most pitiful ip
called The Apostate."
Each has & merit of its own, and
the book sustains admirably Jack Lon
don's claim to mastery In the art Of
short story writing.
