ESSAYS ON BOOKS. BY william Lyon
Phelps. Phi. D., Lampson professor
of English literature at Yale, author
of Essays on Modern Novelists,''
etc. New York: The Macmillan
Company.
To very notable degree is William
Lyon Phelps ripe in literary intimacies,
seasoned in literary facts and values.
More. too. than any other American
critic does he enter into the creative
processes of writer's. interpreting their
works from this standpoint rather than
from the cold externals of certain rules
and dogmas of criticism. He is a re-
freshingly spontaneous writer, vigor-
GUS, witty, companionable. Altogether
a writer of power and inspiration. The
essays of this volume emphasized again
the rarely helpful and enjoyable quail
ties of Mr.. Phelps studies in literature.
And yet, the reader of this book, de-
lighted as he must be with the indi-
vidual essays that go to it's making,
has quarrel with the book as whole.
1t lacks the sustaining power of focus,
coherency. 1t keeps the readers mind
busy with readjustments where it
should move consistently with develop
ments. In it citations from three CEN
turtles are forced into close nefghbor-
hood without the MENUS OF comparative
consideration to reconcile them. From
Richardson to Mark Twain, from Jane
Austen to Whittier. calls for an aero
batic reading gift to span the chasms,
to make connections. The title de-
clares these essays to be about books,
but they are hardly SO much about
books as about the writer's of these.

that the book leaves with one Is that
it's author is absolutely convinced OF

intellectually and morally honest. She
is least of all self-seeking. She Is pos

the means that have been employed.
One may condemn active militancy.

the doctrine of eeIal suffrage. Many
reader of this book must catch point

preconceptions and prejudices on the

FITZ STILL THINKS HE CAN FIGHT

New York, Feb 6.-FIt looks to me as if we need white hope to settle all this argu- ment about heavyweight champions For several years we have been living in the hope of finding one, but we are just as far away from 1t now as ever. I have forty years more to live before I begin to wabble, and really believe 1 am as good as any one of the heavy men 1 have seen. I am willing to try once more for the honor and I will post check (here he Haunted a certified check in the ar) to guarantee my appear ance, in frst-class condition, to meet any one of the heavyweights. If I cant win, then l have my son, Bob Jr, my own flesh and blood, whom I will match against any man in the world"

HEAD OF MOTOR COMPANY
 AND REAL PROFET-SHARENG

New York, Feb 9-President Ford of the Ford Motor Company of Detroit was a guest of the Hotel Belmont here recently He was besieged by scores of jobless men who asked to be given work in his factory Many business men and manufacturers consulted Ford concerning his company's profit sharing plan, by which its employees receive a minimum wage of s5 a day
 Our theory IS that man who sweeps the floor is worth S5 for eight hours work, said Ford. It costs just as much for floor sweeper to feed his babies as it does for motor construction engineer The dis tributon of the S10,000,0O0 IS not char itable scheme, It is simply good logic and common sense to pay your men a living wage.
 There are no ifs attached to our profit sharing plan. The workmen will ge their share every two weeks"
 Interviewed by a representative of the Associated Press Ford said:

TOO MANY JUNGLE SANS"

An amusing incident occurred in connec- tlon with the masquerade ball given at Flat city recently which resulted in some care fully prepared costumes being thrown in the discard at the last minute, and caused nasty scramble to prepare new ones. A cer- tain popular young lady of the city, who IS looked upon as an authority in such matters, was consulted by her many admir- CTS as to what kind of costume to dress in for the masquerade. Seeing an opportunity for little innocent mischief the young lady advised each one, unknown to the oth- CTS, to go in the guise of Uncle Sam" As the advice was imparted with all the appear ance of great solictude that the young men should make flashing appearance, the ad- vice was eagerly grabbed by each of the beaux Materials for Uncle Sam" costumes were in such demand around town few days prior to the dance that suspicion was aroused, and inquiry brought out the fact that half the young gallants of the city were preparing to represent the attenuated individual who is supposed to be symbolic of American government The result was a mad scramble for new costumes and, 1t is said, a slight coolness toward the viva cious young lady on the part of some of the swains

CONDUCTS FARM AT CIRCLE CITY

The Fairbanks News-M Miner is authority for the statement that Angus Mcbride, clerk of the court for the Fourth division, has received letter from C. R. Rieger, farmer of Circle, in which he tells of his ranch and all that pertains to it, as well as of his agricultural experiments Among other things he states that he has large drove of hogs at his ranch and about 40 head of cattle
 The letter was called for on account of the fact that Rieger was thought to be one of the license delinquents who are now being looked up by the marshal It was thought that he was conducting a roadhouse and that he should be made to pay license for the same, but he explains in his letter all about his ranch, stating that it is not To- cated on a government trail and that he is not doing a roadhouse business.
