YANKEE HELLO

CORPS OF Is

BY EDWARD NJ. THIERRY.
N. E. A. STAFF Correspondent.


PARIS, Feb. 25.-The most loved girls
in Paris are twenty-five American girls.
They're loved by thousands OF Amer
lean men in Paris. And the strange
thing about = is that the men have
never seen them.
They hear their voices. Exactly !
They're telephone girls.
You'd love an American telephone
girl, too, II you'd spent months wrest-
ling with the stupendOusly inefficient
French telephone system.
The army signal corps has had its
own telephone system connecting army
and navy departments all over France.
But civilian use Of IL only became gen.
eral In January when the service was
greatly extended TO handle business Of
the American Peace Mission.
Upwards Of 800 phones were Installed
IN the Hotel Crillon and the adjoining
building at No. ) Place de la Concorde
This separate exchange Is for the mis-
sion personnel, while another modern
American exchange was established in
the Paris White House.
These exchanges are handled by
twenty-five American phone girls, spe-
cially imported. They speak French,
too. The system connects with the
French lines and the girls obligingly
get the French number for you.
The two new exchanges also con-
meet with four other exchanges. oper-
ated by Signal Corps men. It is pos
sible to phone via American lines from
London in the north TO Marseillss in
the south and from Brest and Bordeaux
in the west. 70 the Rhine in The east.

The Best Cough Syrup
Is Homemade
Here's an easy way 20 save -, and
yet have the best cough remedy
you ever tried.


You've probably heard Of this we'll
known plan Of making cough syrup at
home. But have you ever used itf When
you do, you will understand why thou
sands Of families, the world over, feel
that they could hardly keep house with
out il. It's simple and cheap, but the
way it takes hold of a cough will quickly
earn it permanent place in your home.
Into pint bottle, pour 2 y ounces Of
Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup TO I'll up the pint. Or, il
desired, use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead Of sugar syrup.
Either way, it tastes good, never
spells, and gives you a full pint Of
better cough remedy than you could buy
ready-made for three times its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly this
homemade remedy conquers a cough
usually in % hours or less. It seems TO
penetrate through every air passage,
loosens a dry, hoarse or tight cough,
lifts the phlegm, heals the membranes,
and gives almost Immediate relief. Splen-
did for throat tickle, hoarseness, Group,
bronchitis and bronchial asthma.
Pinex fs-a highly concentrated COM
pound Of genuine Norway pine extract,
and has been used for generations for
throat and chest ailments.
Avoid disappointment by asking your
druggist for "2iA ounces OF Pinex" with
full directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give absolute
satisfaction or money promptly refunded.

..The Avenue''
Book About Our Most Famous
Thoroughfare

FIFTH AVENUE Ry Arthur Bartlett Maurice
Illustrated by Allan c. Cram. syo pp Z. 93l
Dodd Mead & Co.
Probably no other street in the
world is to great city quite what
Fifth Avenue has been and measurably
still is to New York. Above even Broad
way it is our most characteristic
thoroughfaro. and in an exceptional
degree its history is the history of New
York of the nineteenth century. 1t is
we'll therefore to record its annals, as
MIR. Maurice has endeavored to do, even
to the minutest details. And Mr..
Maurice has done his work with a
large measure of success. His dill
gence has been almost boundless, so
that the number of interesting facts
which he has collected about the ave-
nue. is really bewildering.
For the greater part his statements
are accurate, but now and then there
is an inadvertent slip. Thus he refers
to the old New York University build
ing and neighboring structures on
Washington Square as though they
were still in existence, which of course
he did not mean to do. Worse still is
the supposed conversation with zone
OF the old Fifth Avenues buses that
used to run from Washington Square
up to Fifty ninth Street" He speaks
of the buses leaving their starting

4 Fantastic Reforrner

THE AMATEUR MAN. BY W. r. Gaut. l9mo
PIP. 4Sl. Duhield & Co.
This might be described in brief as
romance Of service. 1t tells the story
of young man of New York City, of
wealth, social standing and professional
ability, who, when conflict seems
to be impending between the aristo-
cratic caste to which he belongs and
the common people renounces and
forsakes the former and devotes him
doing he eXiles himself from New
York and goes to a fantastic city of
the Middle West where the most fan
tastic fads are in vogue. and devotes
himself in fantastic fashion to the
prosecution of social and political re-
forms. At the same time he of course
becomes involved in sentimental ro-
nance.
The scheme of the story is decidedly
interesting, and indeed the story is in
terestingly told. 1t is, however, some
what marred by eXtravagances and
eXaggerations. 1t is possible that there
are such communities as Sax, Ohio,
though we should have been inclined
to look for them rather in Kansas in
the days when William Allen White was
with that commonwealth. But cer-
tainly the place and the crazy doings
of its people cannot be considered
typical of any considerable class Of
American communities. Perhaps, how
ever, the picture which the author
draws of it viii serve a useful pur-
pose as horrible example Of what q
place may become through indulgence
in political and social fads.
New-York tribune., 1919-02-15

passions of war, of love, of selfshness,
of generosity, Of fanaticism. The
narrative reminds us Of the plot of
some old Greek tragedy, winding its
way to ultimate despair through scenes
Of foreboding mystery and gathering
gloom.
But it is a singularly powerful tale,
imbued with the atmosphere of the
wilderness, and causing US to feel the
wickcdness of the Hun, the primitive
savagery of the natives, the power of
true love, and the triumph Of simple
loyalty and faith. The four characters
stand out with startling distinctness
against the dark background, and are
as logical in every act as they are
vivid in every aspect. 1t is no blithe
and merry tale. To some it may seem
depressing. But no reader can escape
the sense of its power or the convic-
ton of its truth. while those who
know by personal experience the
strange land of which it tells will
testify that it is, indeed, living reve-
lation of Africa itself.

The Ivory Skull
Grim Token of the Tragedy at
Number Seventeen

NUMBER SEVENTEEN. By Louis Tracy. l2mo
pp 5S2. Edward j. Clode.
There are those who in writing a de-
tective story or a mystery story say
fatuously to themselves: "The plots
the thing! The writing may go hang!' ,
And so they give us, perhaps, good
plots, but language that is neither the
Kings English nor the Presidents
American nor any tongue but jargon
mixed with Jabberwocky. One thing
among several-that we like about Mr..
Tracy, then, is that he writes as care
July as he plots. His words are we'll
chosen, his sentences we'll framed. In
brief, his most mysterious tales are
iiterature, as scrupulously penned as
though their success had to depend
upon the quality of their style and not
upon the piquing fascination of their
plots.
In no work of his does this fine quail
ity display itself more triumphantly
than in the present. At the same time
we doubt if he has ever contrived
shrewder plot or involved it in more
battling mystery. 1t has to do with
murder in London, with two character
istic agents from Scotland Yard at
work to detect the murderer, but there
comes dominantly into it, as subtly and
as penetratingly as the reek of the
JOSS stick, the weird Vaccinations of
the Orient II avoids the impossible
and the fantastic, and invests the en-
tirely plausible with all the mystery
that the most weird imagination could
devise. It must have high rank in cur
rent mystery fiction.
New-York tribune., 1919-02-15

point under the elevated road on South
Fifth Avenue. Can it be possible that
any of the old time buses ever ran on
such route? The present writer was
very familiar with them, and never
knew of their doing so. Certainly they
did not do so in their palmy days.
Their starting point was at Fulton
Ferry; they did not go near Washing
ton Square, and they did not run above
Forty third Street
There are also some defects of oms-
sion. 1t would have been interesting,
and should have been considered essen
tial, to have fuller account of the
origin of Fifth Avenue as Fashionable
street in its famous rivalry with Sec
ond Avenue. Yet the name of Lenox
is scarcely to be found, and there is
nothing about the causes and circum-
stances of its famous bearers settle
ment on Fifth Avenue. Nevertheless,
it is most interesting and informing
volume. which VIII teach the average
New Yorker a multitude Of things of
which without it he might never dream.

Three on an Island

DAVID AND JONATHAN By L. Temple Thur
son l2no % FL c. p Pu,nams sosls.
The reader Of this entertaining tale
naturally supposes at the outset, and
indeed most OF the way through the
book, that it is a story of adventure
on desert island, one of the in
Vulnerable multitude of such works
which have engaged the ingenuity Il
writers and the interest of readers
since the days of Defoe. The bulk Of
Inc volume is indeed taken up with the
relation of adventures and achieve
msnts. strenuous or humorous. which
vie with those Of "Robinson Crusoe"
and The Swiss Family Robinson" AS
such narrative it is abundantly worth
reading.
The real purpose Of the book ap-
pears, however, in the closing chap
'ers There it is seen to be another
sex problem novel, and even a work Of
propaganda. The dramatis persona Of
