By MEREDITH NICHOLSON.

LOW far will the warmth Of the home
L L fires carryf This is an interesting
subject for speculation as the summer
wanes and we think Of the vast army of
Americans who are enrolled to bat
tie for the ideals of their fathers.
From the hour we entered into this
stupendous struggle it has been
thought uppermost in the minds Of
all high minded, patriotic citizens that the
men we send to fight for us must have the
best care that can possibly be given them.
No nation ever went to war with loftier
aims, and it was incumbent upon US at
the very first call to arms to look to the
hearts and minds as well as the physical
well being of every soldier and sailor in
the national service.
Keep the home fires burning in the
heart of soldier and sailor and his strength
will be as the strength of ten. This is al
ready demonstrated in the splendid show
ing of the American soldiers and marines
in France; and we have had hourly proof
that the American sailor has been equal

monte with the crude strength of the man
Houston, and serve as foil to the timid-
ity of the girl whose marriage has been
little short Of abduction" The crisis
and the denouement are credible and ar
tistically satisfying. Altogether, Tho
She-Quitter is love story out of the
ordinary.
The Altar Of Fear, by Emmett F. Harte,
in Munscys, shows well the local color Of
mountain life and the atmospheric effects
of the fierce, secluded life there. The
descriptive passages are accurate and sug-
gestive, SO that one sees Hogback Mount
ain, the big sink hole and the midnight
tempest. The characters are human, the
dour mother under the tyranny of fear
for her boy, the son, in whom manhood
with difficulty awakens; and the young
girl, June.
The Marrying Time, by Hearty Earl
Brown, in the Atlantic Monthly, has slight
plot, but owes its value to its accuracy
and sympathy of character description.
The citizens of Green Valley seem
actual. One is thrilled over the sober prep
arations Of the spinsters to go to Europe,
and concerned about the outbreak of the
war which endangers these "girls" away
from home. Outwardly little happens,
and yet much takes place in the quiet
mind of Nathan. The story has clever
commingling of humor and pathos, the
pathos Of contrary souls that Illustrate
their own desires.
The Custody of the Dog, by Chart Pitt,
in the Black Cat, creates very real
character in the dog Wellington. This
collie, with his grief for his dead master,
and his resentment at being denied his
right to mourn beside the body, is ap-
pealing. The human beings are less con-
vincing, and the plot has obvious points
Of weakness, but the dog is distinctive.
The Hateful Person, by Holworthy
Hall, in McClure's, hasn't even dog that
is life-like. Holworthy Hall used to write
a good story occasionally, but he seems
to have broken himself of the habit. One
remembers with a pleasure a few Of his
narratives, like The Last Train Back and
Dormie One, which show what he could
do if he wished, but they are all too few.
Nowadays his is the easy patter by which
the lazy brain is stirred to no motion or
emotion, his the plaster figures elegantly
tailored, or gowned in the latest fashion,
but showing no semblanee of life, no
genuineness of feeling. 1t seems pity
that writer who is capable of doing good
work should be content with the insineers
stuff he turns out now.

CEVERAL of the worthwhile stories
~ of the month owe their effective
horror to suggestion Of the supernatural
used for the purpose Of developing sus-
pense and creating sense of mystery.
The ghostly is none the less impressive
because e1plainable on natural grounds.
The Eternal Balance, by Helen Ray
mOnd Abbott, in the Century, is an adj
mirable analysis of a sick mind, of con-
science that sees forever the vision of
dead mans dangling, hairy arm, and
senses the ghost as hospital odor. There
are not many cases on record Of ghostly
odors, though there are a few, as the
wrath in o. Henry's story The Furnished
Room, for instance, that comes as Whit
of mignonette. A ghost that came with
the smell Of paraldehyde would be OBJ
jectionable!
4 Taste Of the Old Boy, by Wilbur
Daniel Steele, in Golfers, constructs
mystery that gives the thrill of the super
natural for a while. The first part Of
the story is excellent, for one feels strong
ly the sense of the abnormal in the situa-
ton on ship board, and shares with
the crew the uncanny feeling against the
strange man, John Twenty. But the So
luton of the mystery fails to convince
ones intellect so that one feels the con-
clusion inadequate. The final incidents
are thrilling but not plausible.
The Substitute, by Harrison Rhodes, in
the Woman's Home Companion, gives an
impending sense of the unearthly in the
early part of the story, with realism Of
complication and solution that is eonvine-
ing. The story has real pathos. The
grief of the mother whose son has gone
down on the Tuscania and her alertneSs
of love that keeps her watching for some
manifestation of his return are genuinely
touching.
The River Road, by Mary Heaton
Worse, in Harper's, presents an interest
ing problem Of conscience. Lucia Croft
ton, tried perpetually at the tribunal of
her own soul, arouses our sympathy, even
before we know what it is of which she
accuses herself. The element of suspense
is handled well, and the events unfold
dramatically. The characters are real.
particularly the old negress, Bessarabia,
with her gnome-like face.
The She-Quitter, by Edwin c. Dicken-
son, in Scribner,s, has dramatic values Of
situation, as well as homely realism Of
character. The big effects Of nature har-

hours of recreation for books on the
Rameses dynasty or the Italian Rennis-
sance should have the first call. It's to be
remembered that the soldier or sailor
usually brings tired body 10 his reading
and it's not for us back home to bore him
with a dull book There's no literary
snObbishness about this books for soldiers
service-no attempt TO foist upon the
young hero a book that will weary him.
When I'm tired / don't crave the newest
work on psychology or dreary novels
about anemic people. i want something
that will lift laugh out of me or tale
with punch to it. The intelligent, SYM
pathetic interest of the experts who are
managing the war library service is a
guarantee that no gold bricks in book
covers are being worked off on our SOL
diers and sailors.
The dollars we give the associations war
service buy and distribute books of value
and interest in every department of liter
ature. The field librarians don't arrogate
to themselves the right of dictation; they
are trained in dealing with the needs of
human beings and don't pose as critics or
educators.
Every contributor to the war service
fund of the association is sending a little
bit Of home to some boy cover there" or out
there on the sea- The book shelf in the
corner of the sitting room at home is
planted within his reach.
The Hohenzollern thinks he is fighting
an American army and navy, but this is a
serious error; he's fighting the American
home spirit; which is invincible. 1t means
a morale that can't be shaken; and this is
why we are going to win the war. Books
for soldiers! Books to keep the minds Of
the boys clean and kindle their hearts
with the warmth of the home circle-a cir
Gle where father reads aloud while mother
and sister knit or do the mending and
prayer goes up for the boy over there
before the lights are out!
When the boys come marching home we
want to be able to look them in the face
conscious that we did all we could for
their welfare; and now is the time to con-
tribute to the book fund. This service is
encouraged and assisted by the American
Government. The American librarians have
a splendid organization for the perform
anee Of their work. Your dollar lands q
book in the hand Of boy you never saw
and helps him to sturdier courage. He
knows that whatever happens YOU didn't
forget him! No man in the American uni
form is beyond the reach Of this library
service. And there's something that stirs
the imagination in the thought that the
book you and I buy may be splashed with
the spray of midocean as some sailor
reads it or that it may culver in the SOL
diers hands as he ponders it under the
fire of hostile guns!

The Picture of Home.

There is inspiration in the knowledge
that the agencies at work for the protec-
ton, comfort and happiness Of our fight
ing men so instantly demonstrated their
competence for their several tasks-the
Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Knights
Of Columbus, the Salvation Army and
similar organizations at home. When the
average American boy thinks of home he
thinks of the folks and the evening lamp
and book or his favorite magazines. This
was true in earliest pioneer times. No
picture Of Lincoln is so ineffaceable as the
one so often drawn of him lying before
the fire of his fathers cabin in Spencer
county, Indiana, bordering his few books.
Once during the civil war he remarked to
Seward, in speaking of Weem's Life of
Washington, from which he had gathered
his knowledge of the Revolution: at
struck me that il must have been something
pretty fine those men we're fighting for"
We are fighting for the same thing, all
over again, in the hope not only of secur-
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-10-06

to the great demand made upon him on
the high seas. The very fact that the sea
lanes have been kept open for the passage
of transports has been continuing tri-
umph for America.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-10-06

ing it forever to ourselves, but of making
many millions in all lands understand the
nature and the power of that something
pretty fine" We can't do better thing
for the American soldier and sailor than
to multiply in camps, trenches, hospitals
and on shpboard the meagre library that
inspired Abraham Lincoln. Weary,
wounded or homesick book or fayorite
periodical thrust into the hand of the
sailor or soldier Is home touch; it's just
what his mother or his sister would do for
him.
Give Them What They Want!
/ am not only heartily in sympathy with
the call Of the American Library Associa-
ton for books for soldiers, but l welcome
this chance to commend the spirit in which
this important work is being carried on.
1t is the aim and the practice to provide
the men in the national service with the
thing they want to read, not to force upon
them some dull, unwelcome book they do
not want and are to be pardoned for not
wanting. Thousands Of young, ambitious
men are jealous in perfecting themselves
in the scientific branches of warfare. This
is to their credit and the library service
meets their needs.
One hears with establishment of the
great demand for technical books that willy
aid the borrower to higher efficiency and
open the way to promotion. On the other
hand, the boy who wants "just a story" is
manifesting a need that is as old as the
human race, and it should be satisfied.
Poetry, history, biography, essays are well
enough, but stories should be provided in
abundance. 1t is perfectly natural that
young man who is engaged in the greatest
adventure the world has known, who is
striking down kingdoms and remaking
maps that have stood for centuries, should
crave books that have the tingle Of red
blood.
Not Culture, but Cheer.
Just what book would you rather be
marooned with Non a lonesome islandf
This is an old problem Of the debating
societies. The lords Of the pale high brow
usually lie as to their own preferences in
sueh a case. My own answer would be
that l should refuse to be shipwrecked
with fewer than three books, and these
would be the Bible, Don Qairote and Quill
,ler-Coueh's English anthology. But there
is no reason whatever why any American
soldier or sailor should be restricted in any
such fashion. 1t takes all kinds Of men
to make an army and there must be hun
dreds of fine literary scholars now in
Uncle Sans uniform-I know dozens of
them.
The American Library Association will
do the best it can TO satisfy their longings;
but the boy who doesn't hunger u his

MILK SITUATION
CAUSE OF DEATHS

The high price and tubercular con-
dition of some milk sold in Washing.
ton is causing scores and even hun
dreds OF deaths in the District year.
". according to Emile Berliner, presi-
dent OF the Association for the Pre-
vention OF Tuberculosis.
Responsibility for the existing con
dItions is placed by Mr.. Berliner on
the District food administration, the
District OF Columbia Committee Of
Congress. the milk producers and the
milk distributors.
Most OF the deaths from malnutri
ton. which reached a total of ninety
three among Washington children ir
the last year, are ascribed by Mr.. Der
liner to the prevailing price OF milk
which runs as high as 20 cents a quart
in the District.
Deaths from tuberculosis. which
totaled 81 in 1917 and will reach
even a higher total this year, are

milk which swarms with tubercu-
lar germs is being given to Washing
ton children right now" said Mr.. Ber-
liner. This state of affairs is nor
only permitted, but encouraged BY
the present health laws governing
the District According to the health
regulations the dairy herds supplying
Washington with milk must be ex-
amined for, tuberculosis once a year;
but cows can and do contract tuber-
culosis between the periods OF ex.
aminations. and that is the reason
why Washington babies are being
given tubercular milk"

WAR EXHIBITS PLANNED.
Connecticut State Council OF Defense
TO Show What Has Been Done.

Connecticut's contribution to Ameri-
cas- war efficiency and power will be
graphically shown at fairs in the state
this fall in an exhibit which is being
prepared by the Connecticut State
Council of Defense The main ex-
hibit, it is now planned, will be shown
at Charter Oak Park, Hartford, and at
the Danbury Fair During the winter
It will be shown in cities throughout
the state. Smaller exhibits, adapted
particularly to rural districts, will be
shown at two routes of smaller agri-
cultural fairs throughout the state.
Preparations for the exhibit are now
going forward rapidly under the di-
rection of the special committee of the
defense council. The official federal
government war exhibit has been Sc
cured for the State Fair at Berlin.
