| Brothers, publishers, New York
| Motor Boating for Boys" by Charles
! g. Davis is a simple practical handbook
of motor boating which has been prepared
as the result of large, practical experi-
ence. 1t Is an introduction in the sense
nat 1t begins at the beginning, and 1t is
so guide and companion. because 1t
It only explains the details of the mech
1ism, installation and operation of mo-
ors, tanks, carbureters, etc, but also>sets
erth the various chances for trouble, and
the difficulties which may be encountered
and shows how they are to be avoided
or overcome. While this book is intended
to be so clear and simple that any boy can
use it without difficulty, yet 1t will be
found of immediate value to motor boat
owners OF mature years. The apprecia-
tion shown when Harpers successful
Boating Book for Boys" was published
has led to the individual presentation of
this friendly and helpful explanation of
motor boating prepared by an expert
whose words are absolutely authoritative.

Humanity is the whole core of the work

No theme could be more redolent OF
, beauty, no song more sweet in the sing
ing than just "The Romance of Pocahon-

Odell has rendered most delightful ver-
sion In poem under this title.
The Story is excellently told, and graphic
in description, and there is not dull
line in the hundred pages.
The poem is introduced by the following
PROLOGUE"
Sin the blest of happy Southlands,
Formed by God for His dear children,
Where the laurel blooms so sweetly.
And the mocking bird sings blithely;
Where the winters are as spnngtpne,
And the skies are blue as azure,
Where the fish swarm in the waters,
And the oysters strew the rivers,
All serenely dwelt the nations,
And the Princess Pocahontas.'
