AN OLDER MAN COMPLETES WITH LAD
 FOR A GIRLS FAVOR


 My Dear Miss Lfbbey:- am a young girl with quite a, few fine boy friends. Sofnehow have never been very much bothered about the boys. But lately. I met a man about ten or twelve years my senior. He fascin- ated me almost las soon as saw him. He has showed signs of liking me. T care more for hi1n than for all my young boy friends. am one of those people who, when they like ony one. like them with all their heart and soul. think about him continually. I think that he has an idea that think him too old for me, that care for my younger friends much better. Is there any thing that you can advise me to do in such a case as I don't expect to see him veryA often and T should like to gain his affecti ons. seE--------
 By all that I can read in your let ter, am of the opinion that you are sensible in Knowing the man you like, and one best suited to you Boy friends are all right in their places but many girls prefer the compan- ipns11ip of a settled, older sutton. who understands being agreeable and con genial. Meeting such a one, if both are suited. may in future gain affec- Htion.

workers in a great city-chicago in this
specific case Interesting and lifelike
people who simply and naturally go
about their business or their pleasure,
create and sustain these situations,
pressing them forward to the point
where the old rule Of individual selfish
ness in business makes way for the new
order of genuine community OF inter-
est between employer and employed.
The story grows out of the case of Har-
Ian Chandos Called home from Paris by
the death of his father. he found himself
without money where he had supposed
himself to be possessed OF great wealth.
In the business Of earning his living, he
acquires the viewpoint of the laborer.
and constitutes himself an efficient
means of opening the crusade against
the old order. One Of the best features
of this all-around good story is its free
dom from the exaggerat1on that IS likely
to stamp the novel of propaganda.

unofficial reports Of unparalleled and de-
pendable sort are impressed as evidence

it is. besides, an examination of the
racial problem that exists between the
west and the east.
Florin. the japanese town of California,
serves here as the center from which the
Japanese interests and activities of the
state are considered and to which these
are brought for the purpose of summing
the situation from the points of view of
both Californian and Japanese Here
the history of the matter is gathered up

of immigration. its rush to high tide. the
growing concern Of the people of the
state, their resentment and the final pop

THE AMERICAN DOCTRINE OF judi
CIAL SUPREMACY. By Charles
Grove Haines. Phi. D.. professor Of
political science in Whitman Col
iege New York: The Macmillan
Company.
Judicial control of legislation in the
United States is at present one OF the
uppermost topics Of agitation and discus
sion. In view of the prominence Of this
matter. and of the fundamental character
of such legislative practice on the part
of the courts, there is demand for an
available and authoritative study of this
subject The general reader and student
need to know, in broadly intelligent
way, what this judicial supremacy is,
how 1t came into being. and need to know
the influences that have nourished it to
the full stature Of a national doctrine.
Mr. Haines gives Just such points of in
formation in this volume. He traces the
development of this practice from its
source in ancient and medieval law up to
its present legislative force IN the United
States, gathering along the way the null
titude Of precedents that have served
through our various periods Of national
history to sustain and expand the prac-
tice. The study gives at some length the
earlier opposition that sprang up against
this law-making function of the courts
through the process of invalidating legis-
lative acts by review and interpretation
It gives the arguments against such an
assumption of power and reviews the
soothing and persuasive answers to such
arguments. The study closes with a sum-
mary of the organized movements that
are on foot against the exercise of legis-
lative power by the judiciary. Here Ia
Dor leader, socialist and progressive voice
their special grievances and set out their
special reforms. The study does not take
Sides 1t gives facts in a succinct and
straightforward way. leaving the student
to choose or make his own argument.
This is one Of the good features of a
very authoritative and useful discussion.

half-truths and whole falsehoods that
wait upon ill-feeling and agitation, this
writer discusses the full meaning and
implication of the Industrial and social
occupation of parts of California by the
immigrant from Japan. In this finely dis
passionate and rational consideration Mr..
Gulick takes the attitude that much Of
the hostility which exists springs from
the tangle Of misunderstanding lying IN
between the two races. His aim is 10
clear away this misunderstanding by a
study of the racial characteristics of the
Japanese, by an Interpretation of the
Japanese to the American. Having lived
in Japan for many years, this writer Is
qualified for the task. And this study
may be counted as one of the consid-
cradle contributions toward pacific 1ad-
tustment of the disturbed conditions in
the United States over the subject of
Japanese industrial invasion of the Pa
cific coast.
THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION: It's
Effect Upon the Home. the School.
the Wage Garner and the Employer.
BY Frank Tracy Carlton, Phi. D.,
author of Education and Industrial
Evolution" etc. New York: F1em-
ing H. Revell Company.
This orderly and comprehensive review
OF the industrial situation in the United
States is issued under the auspices of
Federal Council OF Churches in Amer
lea It's purpose is to provide a text
book for the churches in order that these
may cooperate in the fullest measure Of
efficiency with the general public on mat
tiers growing out of present economic and
Industrial conditions. The superiority OF
this study as textbook insures for 1t a
wider field than the one for which it was
specifically designed Made up wholly
of the essentials of the subject set out In
their proper relations to one another. the
book is a clear and time-saving treat
ment of the industrial situation. A
sketch of history shows the evolution of
modern industry. Upon this the author
traces the outlines of the economic and
industrial field and summarizes the con-
structive forces already at work in this
field. Among the largest of the topics
discussed here are the effect of industrial
evolution upon the home, its relation to
the school system, its bearing upon the
life of women and children. Wages and
hours, the employer and the employed.
