most of the $4,000 square feet of bill

Billboards have become a nuisance be-
cause we have not yet learned the mean
ing of good taste in street advertising,
according to DR.. ]. P Haney, director
Of art in the New York city high schools,
who addressed the Municipal Art Society
on Artistic Advertising in Europe" Our
lack of taste" said DR.. Haney. makes
itself evident in our willingness to sub
nit to abuses In advertising displays
which abroad are prohibited by stringent
law" Not only would regulation pro-
duce artistic results, but it could be made
a matter of profit as well. Berlin re-
ceives a revenue of s95.OOO from this
source every year. and Buenos Aires re-
ceives 100000 from street advertising

Vermont and Electrocution.
From the Boston Transcript.


Bosworth. the Vermont murderer, had
the melancholy distinction of being the
last person in that state to satisfy capi-
tai sentence by being hanged. Hereafter
Vermont will follow the lead of Massa-
chusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and
some other states and substitute electro
cution- Whether the superiority of the
latter method has been established is
probably a question still debatable- Those
who have been in position to give most
expert evidence are no longer qualified to
testify. Is the punishment more humane
and less lingering? Is it perhaps a step
toward the abolition Of capital punish-
ment? 1t Is not easy to see why it should
lead to that end. but when an institu-
ton that has been in service since the
days of Haman and. probably. much
longer. passes, it may presage all kinds
of change. Electricity Is one of the
forces of an advanced civilization and
in employing it for this gruesome task
we may feel that we are putting the
clumsy methods of the past still further
Into the shadow.

CURED. Stella's husband was shot dead
in camp. She was later accusedsof kill
ing him, and at the trial Thresk perJured
himself to testify in her behalf and she
was acquitted. The scene shifts to Eng
land. where Stella has come to live and
where she has found happiness In the
love Of a man who cares nothing for the
gossip that quickly surrounds her name.
The tale turns in the book. as it did in
the play. upon the endeavors of this
mans father to establish her In the good
esteem of the neighborhood. Mr.. Mason
has done remarkably well in handling
this situation without strain. 1t is no
light task to make a vivid novel out Of a
story that has already been fixed in the
rigid dramatic form.
THE AFTER HOUSE, A Story Of Love,
Mystery and n Private Yacht. By
Mary Roberts Rinehart. Illustra-
tions by May Wilson Preston. Bos-
ton: Houghton Miffiin Company.
Young DR.. Leslie went to sea In the
yacht" Of Millionaire Turner, partly
to regain strength after siege of ILL
ness in a hospital and partly to make
his living. He would never have step
ped aboard the Ella had he known
what was going to happen on that
cruise, had he foreseen the tragedies
to be enacted. the terror of a deathly
mystery, with suspicious centertng
around himself. Yet. If he had not
gone he would never have met "her."
Mrs. Rinehart manages to compact into
twenty-four chapters a tremendous
amount of excitement. suspense and
thrill. The twenty-fifth chapter Is just
the little romantic postscript that the
average reader expects after being told
a story in which a good looking man
and a good looking woman figure.

of the grimmest and most dramatic
writing of modern fiction. "The Es-
cape of Mr.. Trimm." which gives the
title to this collection of nine tales,
is an account of how a plutoorat caught
inescapably in the tolls of the law
manages to get free from his GUS

stances to create the impression that
he has himself been killed. However

ROADS FROM ROME. BY Anne C. f.
Allinson, author with Francis G
Allinson of Greek Lands ana Let
ters" New York: The Macmillan
Company.
A group of delightful stories-stories of
unique plan and most beautifully written,
wherein the author succeeds in giving
vivid reality to the conditions and certain
people of ancient Rome. By the simple
expedient of holding fast to human ma
ture. which appears to remain the same
yesterday, today and forever. and by lit
ting this into the circumstances OF old
Roman life, Mrs. Allinson has, to quite
astonishing degree. brought those remote
times and men into the readers imme-
diate touch. Three of these truly re-
markable sketches have to do with the
age OF AUGUSTUS, otie With tiie sedA .
facing directly on the death Of Julius
Caesar, and one with the time when
Hadrian was striving for the rebirth of
Greek art at Athens. This is work Of
high quality. fine and sincere. scholarly
and most dramatic.

story opens, Old Mole is setting out on
some circumspect holiday. Besides him.
self in the railway carriage Is only a
young female, who Is soon seen to be
surreptitiously weeping. Sympathetic
with the troubles Of the young by profess
sional habit. Old Mole, with something of
the pedagogue in his heart. little of the
parent and much of the pure protector.
seeks to assuage this unnistakable dis
tress. Misunderstood. repulsed. accused
openly and even shfiekingiy. by this COM
monplace sex-minded young person, re-
spectacle and kindly Old Mole finds him
self in the woefully disconcerting role OF
one of the tribe of Don Juan, the center.
likewise. of a group Of policemen On So
cial purity. sternly set, and OF larger
group of urchins who wag knowing heads
at this elderly reprobate. The preposter-
GUS matter is. of course. promptly cleared
up But Old Mole knows well that in the
rutted grooves of his particular calling
this accidental episode will forever loom
higher than a lifetime of service So,
without plan or forethought he goes
away. In an idle and uncharted wander
ing he falls in with a travelling theater
company of quite humble quality. And
here a fresh and delightful story sets in
as "the surprising adventures in Eng
land of Herbert Jocelyn Beenham. M. A..
sometime sixth-form master at Thrigsby
Grammar School In the county Of Ian
caster" We are deep in Mr.. Cannans s
debt for Herbert Jocelyn Beenham. NJ A.
alias Old Mole-a simple, chivalrous. low
able man. moving in SO lifeltkely and Sc
rene a fashion through the tangled web
of daily comedy and tragedy. We are In
debt, too for the delightful Vagabondia
that serves as background for Old
Mole and releases the best Of him. The
story as a whole is one of fine substance
and great charm.
