THE WORLD OF WoNDERFUL RE

ALITY. BY E. Temple Thurston,
author of The City of Beautiful
Nonsense" etc. New York: d. APP
pleton & Co.
A novelist that has any regard at
all for things as they are must do,
finally, just what Mr.. Thurston has
done here in regard to John Grey and
Jill Dealtry. You recall that these
two like lovers the world over, had
some time back taken refuge in the
"city of beautiful nonsense "A
call this delectable land. To get them
out of this enchanted spot and to set
their feet upon the highway of life
as il is is the business of the au-
thor in THIS new book of John and
Jill. And lying in wait for them
at the border line are, first of all,
parents-parents who have complete
~ forgotten their own short So
journ in the dreamland of young love.
Substantial marriages for beautiful
daughters appear to be the absorbing
propose ssion of these parents. Young
poets equipped for modern life with
nothing more convincing than ideals
and songs are beyond-hopelessly be-
yond-the horizon of their parental
intentions. Such is the situation. such
the atmosphere in which Mr.. Thurs
ton places this fiedgling pair-so
amateurishly unprofessional in their
vague gestures toward real life. II
proves to be a fine struggle-though
a losing one-of dreams against real
tiles. Of ideals against plain facts.
The same elusive charm that made the
earlier book so thorough pleasure.
the same finely perceptive tender
ness toward the visions of youth that
marked theIformer story of John and
Jill. find place here in spite of the
sharp edges and rough corners that
tend to mar these beautiful notions
of an impossibly beautiful world.

cars and nearly everyone knows it.
At first, before they had seen it outperform most
every car they merely regarded it fine unusual
" well-built and finished light weight automobile.
They appreciated its quality construction.
They conceded it better built car. STILL because
it has many details in common with other similar

In January Essex production was 30 day 1t now
approximate 125 a day
So great is the demand everywhere that as many
as 100 cars have been driven away from the factory
in one day by buyers impatient at freight delays.
It indicates Essex position No light car equals its
performance as is known in every locality NO hight
car assumes equal qualities in construction detail
And no larger car offers the advantages of conven-

You will place large car price on the Essex If
you Judge it by performance and durability
That is why everyone is so enthusiastic for it.

Washington-The record 81. 900 600

into the past Monday when Secretary
Glass, presenting the annual estimates
proposed appropriations of practically
five billion dollars for conducting the
peace time activities of the govern
ment during the fiscal year, 1921.
According to these figures, it will
cost more than five times as much to
conduct the peace time affairs of the
government as it did in the year i'm
mediately preceding the world war.
The greatest individual estimates
for expenditures, of course, 60 to the
army and navy. The yearly interest
on the war debt, however, is S1,O17,-
100000 which sum alone is greater
than all the appropriations for all pur-
poses whatsoever of any peacetime
congress.
All in all, the estimates justify the
prediction made on the floor of con-
gress during consideration of the war
tax bills that the present generation
would not see the government conduct
ed at an expense of less than four bill
lions year.
The estimates appropriations for the
principal government departments will
be presented as follows: Legislative

laneous, 1888, III, 637.96; foreign inter-
course, $11,243, 25O.91.

some comparatively minor items not
