"Baneful Jewels"
From the Chicago Post.

FTOm Ine chicago HOGt.
We arise to protest against the pres
ent oversupply OF magazine fiction
centerfng upon various East Indian
jewels OF baneful potency 1t seems as
IL the poor public cannot pick up a
magazine without having to hear the
tale Of the pearl. the diamond or the
ruby which means death to all who own
1t. The only variation seems to lie in
the mysterious plotting OF an oriental
secret society that wants to kill every
body. whether they have jewels or not.
Popular fiction goes in waves. Of
course. There was the Prisoner OF
Zenda" wave, which is still sending
little tricklets up the beach: there was
the young civil engineer wave; there
was the romance Of big business"
wave. All these have passed. Even the
adapted scientific discovery" wave:
shows signs of receding.
But the "baneful jewell is still with
us. It's mystery feature Conan Doyle
did better than any OF his successors in
The Speckled Band" because he did IT
with some skill in characterization. He
made Sherlock Holmes an interesting
person. And 1T is a sad fact that IL you
don't know the person who is being
"banefulized" you don't care very much
about any horrible thing that happens
to him.
We would dearly like to read q story
about a plain. ordinary jewel that
wasn't stolen from an eastern potentate
and had no desire at all to kill any HUI
man being.

no other Presidents wife ever did. With
Mrs. E. p. Bicknell chairman of the
woman's department OF the committee on
housing Of the National Civic Federation.
she went to inspect alley conditions in
Washington in general. and Goat alley in
particular-a name calculated to keep
ina ginative persons away from its en-
yirons.
She went through it's entire length, and
she was so impressed by the conditions
she found there that She accepted the
Office of honorary chairman of the ad-
visory board of the housing committee, in
order to help actively with the cleanup
work.
Mrs. Wilson does not intend to let the
title of honorary chairman be merely
nominal. 1t is asserted. She will not in
dorse any cause and confine her efforts in
its behalf to the prestige Of her name 1t
is true that she intends to assist in but
few charta BILE undertakings. but for those
In which she does interest herself she
plans to work as enerSetically as the most
obscure member OF the organization.
Those who went with Mrs. Wilson on
her inspection declare that her manner
carried no suggestion of aloofness in
stead. it was that of any other serious
minded woman who might want to i'm
prove the sanitary conditions OF an alley
neighborhood.
She was much concerned In all that was
told her. and listened eagerly when Mrs.
Bicknell and Mrs. Archibald Hopkins
gave the repelling details Of the ALLEY
problem" Mrs. Wilson expressed herself
as wanting her name to stand for every
thing possible in the work of the COM

German point of view, from the way In

THE SOCIAL CENTER. Edited <by Ed
ward J. Ward, director Playground
and Public Recreation Association
of America. New York: y. Apple
ton & Co.
Mr.. Wards very reasonable theory is
that the schoolhouse since it is commu-
nifty property, should be used for COM
munity purposes additional to those of
the schooling of children, thereby utliz@
ing enormous values otherwise permitted
to run to waste. Using the schoolhouse
as a social and civic center has. latterly.
been advocated in a vague and indeter-
inmate way which, in effect, amounts to
little mort than the admission that this
ought to be done. Mr.. Ward, on the con-
trary submits a we'll ordered and definite
plan for the use of these buildings as
school for adults. neighborhood center
where they may come together FOR con-
sideration of civic and political matters
in which they have a vital concern. He
would moreover when the times for
voting come around. use the schoolhouses
as polling places-a sensible and signifi-
cant plan. The authors experience in the
matter with which this book deals has
sifted out from it the pointless expert
ments and sentimental nonsense that too
often stamp what is known social sery
ice, leaving a practical. well tried. pro-
ductive program for the profitable use OF
school buildings as neighborhood centers
for every sort of important neighborhood
concern.

This Is an excitingly dramatic romance,
in which historical characters, places and
customs take on the glamour of fiction
Busy d'Amboise, the best sworisman of
the France Of Henry III. is the favorite
of the kings brother. the Duke of An
jou. He is known. by repute. as the
Dukes Rrawler. The author pictures him
as "a light-hearted gentleman, merry with
his jests that cut as the edge of his
good sword-a man who valued his life
lightly and whose adventures filed the
court with fear" A gay gallant and
as recklessly daring as any guardsman
that Dumas ever created, DAmboise is
moreover a tender-hearted gentleman-a
secret shared only by Barnabe his man.
With arrogant indifference to reputation,
D'Amboise makes no denial when held

twining Of Series of Essays Form
ing, as a Whole. nm Earnest Appeal
for Honest Manhood. How to Live
and Act ON Earth. BY John Phillips
Meakin. Washington: Published by
the author.
Mr.. Meakin's purpose in writing this
book is lofty. He wants to be of service
to humanity. to guide his fellow men
into paths of righteousness, to shed
cheerfulness about him and to make the
world better, if possible. by his own
optimism. He prefaces his work with a
beautiful dedication to his wife and pro-
ceeds frankly to declare that he owed
his purpose In preparing this volume
largely to the fact that during his own
boyhood he was as son of Mormon par
ents in England, subjected to rtdicule
and affront. Fortunately this bred in
him a kindly spirit, and he is now try
ing to inspire his readers with genuine
love of humanity. The book consists of
fragments In no wise related save in that
all the quotations and extracts. original
essays and aphorisms are strung upon
the cord Of humanity and Righteousness.
Mr. Meakin is well known In Washington.

Mars will also attract attention in the
southeast. During the month it will
move so rapidly across the constella-
ton Pisces that. although it rises at

At the latter date Mars will be but
little way below and to the right of the
planet Venus; the two objects will then
form an interesting figure In the morn
ing sky.
Throughout the month the planet ve-
nus will be seen running rapidly east
ward from the sun, becoming almost as
conspicuous in the morning sky as 1t has
been for SO many weeks in the evening.
It will attain it's greatest brilliance on
May 80. The observer who during April
watched its change Of phase as 1t d.

equally interesting and rapid increase,
the horns of the crescent now being
turned in an opposite direction from that
seen when Venus was an evening star.

miles second; two days later they are
SO displaced toward the red that we know
that the star is then receding from us
with the same velocity. After four days
from the first date we find the star ap-
preaching us again, and this alternate
approach and recession continues with
perfect regularity Indefinitely. 1t thus
becomes evident that this bright star is
revolving about the common center of
gravity of itself and a dark companion
with a speed of at least ffty-seven miles
second. the circuit of it's orbit being
accomplished in four days.
Our North Star is still more interest
ing example, for this has two dark COM
panions. the revolution about the nearer

Pan-Germanism is an inclusive scheme
whose object is the domination of the

many-a movement to escape the pressure
of France and Russia, both bent on her
destruction. 1t is, in the second place. an
offensive movement directed against Eng

outlet for her surplus population and
manufactures and to create an empire as
little vulnerable politically. economically
or strategically as any the world has yet

what the name Pan-Germanism connotes.
This study Ia, in substance. remarkable
analysis of International politics wherein
all the dominant forces are scrutnized
in their relations to one another. Among
these are the political complication i'm
