Hopes Husband" Mr.. Hope was not con-
tent to be blanketed by his wife. 1t hurt
him to find himself ignored in society or
mentioned only as the husband of his wife.
She was a successful novelist and had
achieved her success through the training
of her husband. She enjoyed the flattery
of her admirers. As she charming
woman part Of their admiration was evoked
by her as woman and part as writer.
Her now interests seemed to wean her from
her home and her husband. Mr.. Hope set
about winning her back. He wrote her a
series of love letters under an assumed
name and continued his attentions in this
way for about a year. She welcomed the
letters and answered them. The writer of
them interested her and she finally fell in
love with him. Hope. however. was afraid
to reveal himself as the writer of the let
ters. The disclosure finally comes in a
dramatic manner and the story ends
pleasantly.
Mr. Burgess has created in Mrs. Hope a
most delightful character She is self
respecting lady, sincere and honest When
she is ready to meet her unknown corr
respondent, even If the meeting should
wreck her home, she tells her husband about
1t in an interview which reveals the purity
of her soul. The book is a most entertain
ing study in feminine psychology. 1t is
to be dramatzed and the play is likely
to have the same popularity that is bound
to come to the book

ARMY-NAVY GAME MAY
BESTAGED ATOLDPENN
University Has Standing Invita-

to Favor Contest

Hope that the Army and Navy football
game may be played in Philadelphia this
season was revived today by the announce
ment Of Secretary of the Navy Daniels that
he favors a clash on the gridiron between
the middies and cadets this fall. Secretary
Of War Baker had previously ruled against
the army competing in intercollegiate foot
ball on account of the war.
'"The teams have a standing invitation
by the Army and Navy Committee of the
University of Pennsylvania to use Frank-
lin Field" said George e. Nitzsche. recorder
Of the University today. Il see no reason
why the game should not be played this
season, and l sincerely hope that they will
select Franklin Field for the scrimmage.
The only reason the game has not been
played here for several years is lack of
room The teams said they required a field
sea ting capacity of Franklin Field is only
$4,000"
Major Maylin ]. Pickering, graduate
manager of University of Pennsylvania
athletics, said the University would be glad
to have the Army and Navy boys here as
its guests, and hoped that If the game is
played the teams would accept the standing
invitation and use Franklin Field.
1t was indicated in Army and Navy
circles today that a game might be played
for the benefit of the Red Cross or an
army relief fund and that West Point
would be permitted to engage in football

MOTHERHOOD A

Kathleen Norris might have written
very different book from "Martie, the Tn
conquered" noticed elsewhere on this page
If she had first read Mrs. Walter NJ. CALI
chan's discussion Of the place OF woman in
the social economy, published under the title
OF Motherhood"
Mrs. Gallchans book IN spite OF many
faults is valuable contribution 10 the dis
cussion Of the woman question for the rea-
son that she recognizes facts and attempts
TO adjust her theories TO them.
For example, she says that what is para
mount in woman Is secondary in man and
that by using her subordinate qualities, as
she must do in competition with man, "she
Is up against his dominant qualities and
viii be beaten by him" If. however. she
continues. woman develops her dominant
qualities she cannot fail to occupy position
or power. I'VE cannot escape from nature"
she says, "and no matter how seemingly
urgent 1t is for women to train themselves
to act like men on account Of prevailing
economic conditions. it is always wrong at
the bottom to yield to those conditions; the
results will not fail to bring evil in the
future.' She says further that If after the
coming or peace the women VINO nave Deen
doing mems work do not find it better to
return to their homes the individual home
may disappear and be replaced by some
| form of communal living. Such an outcome
| would be a step backward and sign of the
| failure of our civilization. There is moth
| ing more important for the good of society
at large than homogeneous marriage and
the preservation of the home whose primary
| value us to immerse the child in a pro-
tective environment of its own" The mo-
! tive of the book is found in one of the sem
| tences of dedication to her son. 1t reads:

! While defending homogeneous marriage,

My Country

1t is not impossible that such a situation
as that which George Rothwell Browne
in his STORY of today" cleverly depicts may
have it's counterpart in actual life before
the war that has involved America shall
have progressed to the point which finds
our new national army and sea fighters
doing their bit in making the world safe
for democracy. Here is a novel, described
by it's publishers as the first to come out
of our conflict with German autocracy, that
breathes patriotism from the opening chap
ter until tho curtain falls on the triumph
of American chivalry over Teutonic intrigue
and treacherous duplicity. MY County" is
the significant title of Mr.. Brownies ratting
yarn. In engaging fashion he presents the
picture of a German widower arriving in
this country some twenty-odd years ago,
accompanied by his twin boys, Wilhelm and
Karl, and mbued with all the lovable quail
ties of his race when the natural instinct
Is not obliterated by the brutalizing in
fuence that brought about the present world
cataclysm. The old German, as countless
thousands of his fellow countrymen have
done in the last century, enters into the
spirit of his new home. becomes a loyal
citizen of the United States and on his
deathbed leaves to his sons his naturaliZa-
ton papers, with the admonition that they
regard the document as their most cherished
heritage. One of the boys enthusiastically
follows tho parental injunction, but his twin
brother remains German in thought and
deed. We see one of the youths enter the
academy at Annapolis and work his way
upward until he becomes naval strategist
of international celebrity; the other goes
back to Germany after his fathers death
and becomes equally distinguished in the
Kaiser's navy. Then comes the trump of
war, and the brothers are engaged on op-
posite sides. There is n "girl in the case"
of course, and she has gone back TO the
Fatherland with Karl, for family reasons.

Heart of the Balkan Mystery

Demetra Vaka Greek woman trans
planted to America, brings not only first
hand historical and social knowledge to her
consideration of the influence and status OF
the Balkans in the present world war, but
also the experiences and reactions of COM
prehensive tour through and intensive study
of the cockpit of Europe. This trip was
taken through Albania. Montenegro, Serbia,
Rumania and Bulgaria with her brother,
delegated on an official mission from Con-
stantinople.
Her chief interest was with the Balkan
women, but she made shrewd observations
of the politics of the chronological potpourri
at one of its seething periods.
This is more than travel boolS-it is a
keeny observed and carefully presented
analysis of the moods, temperaments and
customs of heterogeneous peoples. The pic
turesque in scenery and the unusual in GUS
toms are simply background for matter of
more substance. The book throws consider
able light on the underlying currents which
have met In opposition and turned all the
world into martial maelstrom.

Definite and immediate steps to conserve
the sugar supply In Philadelphia were taken
today when all of the big reineries and
houses dealing in sugar here received a
letter from George NJ. Rolph, Herbert
Toover's assistant in the food admlnistra-
tiou. in charge Of the sugar situation.
Under normal conditions the expectation
Of sugar from this port is enormous. Mr..
Rolph requests all dealers patriotlcally to
refrain from letting any sugar set out of
this country until the big sugar crop ar
Y1ves from Cuba. This Is due sometime in
october. 1t Is believed the export trade
will not be resuned until December.
The letter reads.
You will ohlige the Food Administra-
ton IL you will decline to accept any
more orders for export sugar until after
the new Cuban crop heRins to arrive.
Our reason for making this request is
that all the sugar now held ny you and
that obtainable from Cuba would hardly
be sufficient to see this country through
until the new big crop begins to arrive
on the market about the middle Of Octo-
ber.
Your compliance with this request will
be much appreciated
The refiners will comply with the request
Mr.. Hoover has been accused of par
tiality toward cur allies" one sugar man
said in commenting on the request. 1T has
been said that his idea is that we in the
United States should get along with what
is left after the Allies have been provided
for This letter shows how wrong that
accusation is. 1t shows definitely that the
interest Of the United States Is his first
consideration. l feel certain that the
majority of sugar dealers will look upon
the request as a command
