the goods go across the waters. In
England. where the bulk of the ship
ments from the United States have
been going, there is a growing de-
mand for the things necessary in the
maintaining OF life at home and the
destruction OF life upon the contin-
ent. America has been trying to meet
that demand. and the wants Of the
people at home have been left half
satisfied. Much is heard OF the won
derful prosperity. but 1t is prosper
ity that is measured largely by the
growth OF the bank account Of the
manufacturer. 1t has not reached out
very largely among the people who
would welcome a slice OF that pros
perity, and when a normal demand
appears abroad again, as will come
after the close Of the war, the so
called prosperity will collapse like
punctured balloon.
The prosperity that will have

A MANS REACH"
BY A NEW
AUTHOR
Sally Nelson Robins Enters the
Literary Hall of Fame
with a Rush.

A new author has come out of
Virginia, and with her story that
is quick with the spirit of life of
the Old Dominion, beautiful girls,
blooded thoroughbreds and men with
"a devil-may-care attitude. 1t is a
temperance story without trace of
sentimentalism, love story that
rings true on the human heart;
story of outdoor life, work, play,
youth and age, modern in charac-
terzation and plot, ancient in an
eternal heart appeal. Randolph Tur-
berville, Junior, whom we love and
with whom we sympathize, from the
first page to the last, is a scion OF an
artistocratic Virginia house; as a
boy he Is a glory 10 look upon, up
right. wholesome and with every ear
mark that he will follow in the foot
steps OF his many ancestors who had
won high place in the affairs of the
state.
On coming to manhood, according
to tradition. he goes to the Univer-
sity of Virginia in pursuit Of law; he
is brilliant in both studies and ath-
letics, but between his football and
his work, a weakness that has slow
ly undermined his father, attacks
him. With a joyous abandon of
youth, needless and happy -go-lucky,
he drinks and he drinks hard. He
was the only joy of his mothers
heart, heart well-nigh broken by
the terrific distintegration of her
interesting but weak husband, Ran
dolpn, Sr.
: In his last year at college, Ran
dolph falls in love- The gist Of the
story lies in the combat between the
forces of good and evil. Upon the
one side his love Of Lettuce Corbin,
OF Laneville, and his ambition to be-
come a great lawyer. upon the other
his craving for whiskey and his love
of hearty good fellowship and jolli-
ty.
He is not long out of the UNIVERSE
ty when his father fills a drunkard's
grave; he himself, is sodden and
well-nigh a physical and mental
wreck. Lettice determines to save
him; she invites him to Laneville.
Through period OF three weeks they
ride and walk together. Lettice all
the while fighting to obtain control
Of his tottering will. In her battle
We have a splendid account of what
may be accomplished by self-con-
scious, determined phychic powers.
She sends him back to Richmond
with at least determination to make
good. The struggle within is terrific.
The law cases come his way and
work seems to be his salvation, as it
Is that of most men. Finally his
cousin, "Bill-Bob" Catlett, ga young
and enthusiastic Episcopalian clcr-
gyman, who has cast wonderful ray
of light throughout the story is ac-
cused Of having shot to death an
other cousin, Kitty Nestles. moral
decadent. We cannot tell the pros
pective reader any more Of the story
Suffice it to say that in giving the
bare outline OF the plot we have
painted the novel In far too sombre
coors-there is brightness, laughter
sunshine and all the attributes OF a
happy story on almost every page.
Its main intent is great with purpose
and the book is uplifting to a higher,
worthier life.
