Winesburg, Ohio

derson Published by b. ". Hue Hueb.ch. AS.

''If you are to become a writer" saws
Kate Swift in Sherwood Andersons
book, you'll have to stop fooling with
words"
Some of Anderson's sketches of small
town life in Ohio are excellent, but
again we find him disregarcing Kate
Swift's advice.
Wash Williams, the telegraph op-
orator Of Winesburg, was the lgliest
thing in town. His girth was immense,
his neck thin, his legs feeble He was
dirty. Everything about him was un-
clean. Even the whites Of his eyes
looked soiled"
We think that the final sentence of
that description is added, rot 20 make
us see Wash Williams, but to make US
see the literary facility of Sherwood
Anderson. 1t is much too glib for our
taste. In school or college we had an
English instructor whose favorite
model of vivid description was that bit
in David Copperfield" which rounds
up with the statement that Uriah Heep
we don't favor such models any more
These seem to US pert touches which
come between a writer and a CHAR
acter.
1t is easier to point out faults in
Anderson's book than virtues, although
the latter are rather more numerous
and substantial. Lett be said, then,
Immediately that Anderson IS a keen
observer with clear insight into char
acter We are disposed to add that
sometimes he sees more than there is
to see. We can't believe that even a
small town could produce such large
percentage of neurotics as Anderson
unearths. We are also inclined TO
think that the young women If this
town were more seduced than usual.
Oftentimes we are not with Ander-
son. His Introductory chapter, "The
Book Of the Grotesque," meant nothing
to US. Later we were puzzled by
passage in the sketch called Mother"
1t described various encounters be-
tween a baker and a cat and continued:
"In the alley the grey cat crouched
behind barrels filled with torn paper
and broken bottles, above which few
q black swarm Of flies. Once when she
was alone, and after watching a pro-
longed and Intellectual outburst on the
part of the baker, Elizabeth Willard
put her head down on her long white
hands and wept. After that she did
not look along the alley-way any more,
but tried to forget the contest be-
tween the bearded man and the cat
1t seemed like a rehearsal of her own
life, terrible in its vividness.'
We never knew quite why.
The sketch about Louise Bentley,
called Surrender" we found an ex-
ceptionally fine piece of work and also
the sketch about Kate Swift. called
The Teacher" Anderson has found a
great many subjects in his small Ohio
town, but he never seems to find any
comic ones. The book becomes, there
fore. bit monotonous. 1t probably
owes its existence to Spoon River
Anthology" and is quite in that mood;
but these prose tales lack something
of the simplicity and directness Of
Masters. H. B.

less and orphaned Jewish children in
the war devastated zones Of Poland
and Rumania, made by Felix H. War
burg, of New York, at the annual con-
vention of the organization here to-
day, resulted in the enrolment Of
scores Of members to go abroad.
The recruits will work under the
direction of Dr.. Boris Began, executive
secretary Of the organization, now in
Poland. Mr.. Warburg described the
horrors as beyond being told to the
convention. 1t was necessary not only
to provide new homes, reclaim de-
stroyed farms and communications,
together with implements and stock,
but to fight typhus, which had become a
terror and was exacting dreadful tolls
because of lack of food and medical
service, he said.
Last year the national organization
raised $10,0OOOO0 for this service and
this year it is intended to double the
sum.

'Daredevil' Max Schreyer
Dies in Fordham Hospital
at Van CortIandt Park
in Salvation Army Spec
facle Proves Fatal

"Daredevil" Max Schreyer. bicycle
high diver, died at 8 o'clock last night
at Fordham Hospital from injuries suf-
fered last Sunday while giving an ex-
hibition in Van Cortlandt Park in aid
of the Salvation Army's home servica
fund campaign.
twenty-five thousand persons saw
the fall which resulted in his death.
1t was his 2,020th ride and dive
from a 140 foot tower to a tank
seven feet square, in which the
water was four feet deep. Two thou
sand and nineteen times Schreyer had
ridden his bicycle down the inclined
pathway, lcaped from the bicycle after
it left the end of the track, eighty feet
in air, and plunged accurately into the
centre of the tank, while his wheel
was caught in a net.
Sunday he mscalculated Only the
tips of his fingers reached the water
in the tank. His body struck its rim.
Scarcely person among the thousands
watching believed he had escaped in
stant death. Physicians who gave him
first aid treatment doubted whether
life would remain in his body until
the ambulance got him to the hospital.
The last rites Of the church were ad-
ministered by priest among the spec
tators.
On Monday, however, the report
from the hospital was that Schreyer
probably would recover His wife and
child were at the hospital almost con-
startly. They live on North Palisade
Avenue, Hoboken.
The feat which Schreyer performed
for the Salvation Army was his gift
to its campaign. He refused to take
money for it, and paid all the ex-
penses himself. According to one re-
port he had intended that it should
be his last appearance.
Members of the Bronx committee
which arranged the entertainment for
the Salationv Army at Van Cortlandt
Park were considering last night a
suggestion that any surplus over the
borough's quota in the campaign be
turned over to Mrs. Schreyer. Her
husbands efforts in behalf of the
Salvation Army were impelled in part,
by gratitude for services which the
organization rendered his brother,
member Of the expeditionary forces
