and it proceeds until, with the aid of a
detective, the puzzle is solved. Concern
ing the solution we may say that it Is in
no way far fetched, is decidedly dramatic
without being at all melodranatic or i'm
probable, and is not in the least likely to
be guessed in advance by the reader. And
what more, it may be asked, could be said

This tale is so much better than the
ordinary detective story or mystery story,
even the good" one, that it ought spe-

writes about Mrs. Anterior from any
standpoint Of serious consideration. 1t il
equally certain that the story, with its
frank mention of some phases of San
Francisco life and its easy references to
the macquereau, will intensely seandalize
q number of readers.
The point is that this, like the authors
Mrs. Balfame, is a mystery story Of great
adroitness and sustained interest. In con-
struction we do not think it could be bet
ter In execution-meaning the way it Is
told-it is far above the usual mystery
tale. Mrs. Atherton has gift for ineisive
and epigrammatical phrasing and char
acterization. 1t is not absent.
Of the tale itself not much, necessarily,
may be outlined The setting is San
Francisco in 1910 or thereabout The
principal figures are Price Ruyler, of an
old New England family, and his wife,
the daughter of middle class French
woman from Rouen. The action begins

"The Naval Reserve"

N the literature Of the war too little
L attention has been paid to one de-
partment of this country's service, the
Naval Reserve, which, like the British
fleet has been SILENTLY carrying on"
Hence new book, The Naval Reserve, by
Frank Hunter Potter, providing valuable
information on the subject The intro
duction gives facts that most of US are ig-
norant of:
in 1916 body known as the Naval
Training Association was organized by
certain far sighted naval militiamen, re-
tired naval officers and others, to supple
ment the work of the naval militia and
to provide men more or less trained for
the use Of the navy when this country
should get into the war, which was then
seen to be probable. This organization
was taken over by the Government in the
winter of 1916-17 and renamed the Naval
Reserve 1t comprises four classes, the
first of which contains former officers and
men Of the navy who enlist to serve with
the fleet and Is called the Fleet Naval Re-
serve. In the second the men enlist to
serve in any capacity on naval vessels
which are not of the fleet, and it consists
of the former naval militia and certain
other categories. The third class is called
the Naval Auxiliary Reserve and serves
on transports, supply ships, Golfers, cargo
ships, &c. The fourth class formerly con-
sisted Of coast patrol, the men of which
were to serve on submarine chasers, scout
patrol boats and the like This
class has now been done away with, the
men enlisting for general service or going
into some other branch, such as aviation
or the marines, large liberty Of choice be-
ing given in this respect"
The men who entered the navy at the
beginning of the war were Of very high
type, as Mr.. Potter shows, college gradu-
ates entering as cooks, stokers, or to do
any work needed, fearful lest physical de-
fects might debar them from regular ser
vice. The life of the "gob" is described
in a straightforward, entertaining style,
which permits the reader to see the naval
recruit at his study, lis work, his drill,
his play. A good deal of technical infor-
nation which is of special interest only to
the initiate is given, but in the main the
book is pleasantly readable.

HOME STORE SERVICE

Do you know what the stores OF
Denison do for you? Do you fully real
lie their faithful. loyal, painstaking
service, rendered day after day and
year after year? Do you understand
how much hard work, study, brains
and intelligence are devoted to this
form of public service?
The Review, feeling that the mer-
chants Of our community and their
helpers perform function the value
|of which we may not. fully compre-
bend, is to print series Of brief little
editorials on the above subject, begin
ming about January 18th. 1t will en-
|deavor to show what our business
center means to us, and what tri-
umph of civilization and efficiency it Is
when the products of the entire world
are laid at our feet, accessible on a
moments notice. 4
The story of these stores is a rec
ord of human energy and enterprise.
We should be proud of what they have
done to bring comfort, enjoyment, IA
cilities Of modern living, and culture
to our community. This little series
of editorials will suggest some reasons
why.

There will be pleasing information
in the announcement that large en-
.ployers of labor are planning to take
back all their former employees who
left their positions in order to go into
the army. 1t is. also gratifying 70
learn that they expect to offer posi-
tions to men not formerly in their en-
ploy who have seen service during
the war. This attitude will go far; to-
ward solving the problem OF what to
do with the soldiers when they re-
turn. There is also something omln-
Gus in the intimation shat if employ
ers find themselves with more help
than they need, they will give the jobs
to returned soldiers rather than to
men who lodged military service. The
Stacker has some embarrassing days
ahead of him. X
