THE GIRLS AT HIS BILLET

By Berta Ruck (Mrs Oliver Onions).
 Illustrated by E. c. Caswell Dodd &
 Co.,, publishers, New York.
 s Berta Ruck (Mrs Oliver Onions) whose clever novels, His Officials Fiancee, !" Tn Another Girls Shoes" and other stories, has written in The Girls At His Billett."
 A clever, humorous, captivating love story-these words express inadequately this latest sparkling novel from the clever pen of Berta Ruck. Three really pretty sisters, blue-eyed and golden haired live healthy and rather sleepy life in one of the quietest and most remote villages in England, where they are far removed from young and attractive men. But the war changes things, and from dwelling in manless desert they find themselves ito carry out the simile--in an oasis that fairly teens with young masculinity when hundreds of troops are quartered in their neighbornood. One dapper young officer is even billeted in their own home There follows not only one love affair but three -deliciously mirth provoking, yet full of charm. And after surprise and counter surprise which leads one from page to page with ever growing interest, each of the three love affairs winds up in an unexpected but delightful way. Berta Buck is a genius at depicting young girls, as her novels have well proved: but in The Girls at His Billet she has out done herself.

"SrSAN I.ENnx.n 2

By David Graham Phillips. (Two
 volumes) Two Frontispiece Portraits.
 D. Appleton & Co.,, publishers, New
 York
 In one of the ablest reviews of David Graham Phillips posthumous novel, Susan Lenox," the following regarding posthumous works is recorded:
 When a posthumous book is published so long after it's authors death as is this novel it takes on a certain added impressiveness, as if the author were speaking from the grave final message to his readers. An added significance is given to this impression in the case of MT. Phillips novel by the fact that he had worked upon it for 10 years-but not, of course, all the time-and brought it only little before his untimely death into what presumably he felt was the best form he could give it. He had also, as was made known at the rime of his death, the ambition to make of some of his novels a many-sided representa- tion of American life, so that the series of books should be- in way, "Comedie Humaine' of this new, democratic civili- zation. Therefore, this novel, which un- doubtedly he intended should be a part of that series, must have been a we'll considered piece of work which he meant to be an accurate account and a true in- depreciation of much of American life"
 Susan Lenox" is an intensely interest," ing and vital sort of story; it has to do with the history of Susan Lenox from the time of her sixteenth year.
 We find at the start that she is what is known as a "love-chuld," who has grown up ignorant of the stain upon her birth; she lives with some respectable and well-to-do kin in southern Indiana;

u,itb inc noem .Snithy of God" his reputation was established beyond dls- cussion To those who are familiar with the poetry of the day he IS the origl- nator of the term polyrytnmic verse numerous examples of which are given in the book.
 The poems fall into three groups. The first entitled Glad of Earth" opens in A spring month followed by penetrating portraits of individuals and types. The second group, Comrades, contains love poems of great originality Of form and concept and the concluding group under the title New Roads, is passionate revolt against social conditions which trammel the individual.
 Mr Wood is graduate of Yale. For many years his home was in Birming- ham, Later, he went to New ork, where
 he has made a splendid reputation as a scholar and a writer
 It would be impossible to make a se- lection as to the best of the poems in Glad of Earth which are divided under three heads, but it is safe to say there is none more readable or more poetic than the first, under the third title:
 NEW ROADS
 Every road was a new road once,
 And before that footpath Won out of the wilderness.
 The roads that were glad and new in the past
 Once lived thru live meadows and up tantaliZing steeps; They were broad enough then. And now the meadows are trampled by the endless pat-pat of feet Into dead stubble and tear-soaked marsh And the climbed steeps show themselves covering foothills, And the tides of smoke shut out the vast CT steeps above And the sun and stars,
 And the roads are all too narrow shall not go down the old roads; will follow the beckoning footpaths of dead leaders, Making broad roads for them I shall make one footpath myself.

WATER SUPPLY FOR
MILLION PEOPLE
All Danger OF Famine Wiped

A dependable supply OF pure drink
ing water is one OF the municipal de-
veIopmcnts OF the past five years.
There is no likelihood of a water
famine. as happened in the summer
months several years ago. The con-
str-uction OF the new impounding
reservoir at Loeb Raven and the
filtration plant at Lake Montebello.
together with seven storage reser-
voirs besides. suffice 70 provide water
for all purposes for city of million
people.
Baltimore has $50. 900 600 invested in
it's water supply system. The new
works at Loeb Raven and Monticello
alone entailed an expenditure of
s.. 000 900. The reservoir has a ca
pacity of 1000. 600, 900 gallons. The
crest Of the dam has an elevation of
1872 feet above mean tide. When the
needs of the city shall eventually
warrant, the dam can be raised 45is
feet higher to increase the storage Of
water to 10000. 600, 900 gallons.
The filtration plant at Lake Monte
bello is. with but one exception, the
largest in the country. It consists of
80 units, each with a capacity OF 1000,
600 gallons a day.
The seven additional storage reser-
voirs have an aggregate capacity of
,4sS, S75, goo gallons. There are also two
standpipes, each with a capacity of
3J0. 900 gallons.
