The sensational Nashville scandal continues to hold front place in the Tennessee dailies.

State Pension Board
 Meets Next Monday

Little Rock. July 27.-The State Pension Board will meet next Monday to begin it's annual examination for pensions. Up to the present time only 32 county boards have made their re- ports. The number of applications is twice as large as it was last year, and there are about twice as many applications as there deaths reported. Notwithstanding the increased tax levy for pensions. it is probable the pro rata paid on claims allowed will be smaller than last year.

The Christmas gift" book is pass
ing, the book specially, and often
artistically, made for the mere pur-
pose of being given away, looked at
and admired but not read, and then
placed on the shelf to lumber the
room OF its betters. Handsome
books we still have for the holiday
season. but almost invariably now
il is their contents that count; splen-
dor of binding and illustration, OF
type and paper, are no longer wasted
upon trash. Who measures his
gifts by their cost can still be ac-
commodated in our bookstores; only,
nolens rolenS, he must buy better
books. and can get more Of them
for the allotted sum. He may be
stranger in a bookstore during all
the other weeks of the year, names
and titles may mean nothing to him
he needs must buy better books.

will only ask his advice and follow 1t.

come gift to the booklover than
folio edition of one OF our great
poets, who needs not the embellish-
ment of colored illustrations, moroC-
&C binding, red rubrics and a desert
of margin to disproportionately
slender type-page. There are really
beautiful, dignihed specimens OF the
printers art to be had from the
Merrymount Press and the River
side Press, worthy settings OF
worthy books. There are, if one be
inclined to plunge, publications that
are necessaries OF life to many whose
purse is slender-the Encyclopedia
Britannica" for instance, which is
now issued in two editions OF vastly
varying prices, the only difference
between them being that OF size OF
rage and type. There is the new
edition OF the New international
Encyclopaedia" sixteen OF whose
twenty-four volumes have already
been issued. In his book on Amer
lea H. G. Wells observed that
dictionary of the English language
is with us a household article, and
not, as in Europe, luxury rarely
found in private houses. And here
is another hint for the Christmas
shopper in a bookstore-the Gen.
fury, the Standard in many editions,
from the unabridged downward, in
all sizes and prices for all kinds OF
purposes. Christmas is, above all,
the season in which to get away
from "the latest" unless il is worthy.

poets-even vers librists may profit
by them-for budding dramatists,
for picture play writer's. And there
is the whole field OF literature from
"The Canterbury Tales" to the
Spoon River Anthology" and
North OF Boston," from Defoe and
Fielding to Mrs. Gathers "The Song

the best American novel Of a year

CT Europe's capitals is an entertain
ing volume, comprehensively timely,
but most delightful in its sketches
Of the simple democracy of the
Scandinavian courts. With this may
lie named Princess Radziwill's The
Royal Marriage Market OF Europe,
a book OF romances and tragedies,
in which figure all the reigning tami-
lies-Hapsburgs and Hohenzollerns,
Ilanoverians and Romanoys, the
Bourbons OF Spain, the house OF
Savoy, the Coburgs of Belgium and
Bulgaria and, until recently, OF Port
ugal, the Hohenzollerns OF Rumania
and many others. The Serbian Prin-
cess Lazarovitch, an American by
birth. tells OF her life in London,
where she made her debut as an
actress, and of the interesting per-
sonages of the late Victorian era
whom she met there-Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, Lady Jeune, the
Souls" and many others. And those
adventurously inclined may turn to
such earlier books of the year as
Anne Topham's Memories Of the
Kaiser's Court" The many revela-
tons of English governesses in Ger
man princely houses and the like
may be read for amusement If not
Tor their authenticity. They con-
tain. at least. much of the current
gossip of European capitals.
The record would not be complete
without mention of some books on
the war by American women. First
among them, a book of infinite
charm, a romance of the tragedy,
we have Mildred Aldrich's "A Hill
top on the Marne"; Edith Wharton's
Fighting France" is notable for its
artistry, if also for its unrestrained
bitterness toward the invaders. Three
American delegates to the recent in
ternational women's peace congress
A. The Hague-Jane Adams, Emily
G. Balch and Alice Hamilton-have
ohronicled their impressions and the
results Of their work in Women at
The Hague; Mabel T. Boardman,
the chairman of the National Relief
Fund OF the American Red Cross,
has written a complete account OF
the history, organization, present ac-
tivities, needs, hopes and possibilities
of the international societies Under
the Red Cross Flag" And, last but
net least, there is Lillian d. Wald's
own story OF her increasing social
service. The House on Henry
