"GLAMOUR" REVEALS
AN UNUSUAL "VAMP''
". B. MaxiUeHs NeiUeSt Nouel
Tells Absorbing Story of
English Life

In W. 3. Maxwell's latest book there
is created a temptress of different
sort, woman who warns the heart
with admiration and who, in common
now with most temptresses, conveys q
sense of enchantment and fascination ;
casts a magic spell. 1t is for this rea =
son that Mr.. Maxwell calls his book
"Glamour."
Bryan Vaile was in love with the
temptress at the outset of his young
manhood, and she with him. But she
was an aristocrat, and he was not.
And she was poor, and so was he. So
she married for money" and Bryan.
some time later, married for love, "
or thought he did, and became a very
successful author, indeed.
1t was in his years of success that
the temptress returned to him, as the
Duchess of Middlesborough, and again
possessed herself of his affections,
though he fought gamely against the
glamour which surrounded her.
One has the impression at first that
this woman, who set about so calmly
to wreck home and destroy the hanpi-
ness to another woman, did so with a
light cruelty unrelieved by any back
ground of love, but it is the closing
chapters of this most absorbing book
which show the real woman in her and
portray her as temptress so unusual.

WHAT BIRDS THAT?
Frank Chapman Provides Au'
thoritatiue and Simple
Guide

Frank NJ. Chapman, one of the great
est living authorities on American
birds, has provided an ideal book for
the amateur in "What Bird is That"
1t is a new kind Of bird book" nov
ely planned. yet based on the prac-
ticality of the authors experience in
the American Museum of Natural
Science. New York, where he is curator
of ornithology. Any one who has
wanted to know the birds but needed,
for lack Of time or opportunity. some
short cut to knowledge of Identification
will find this small volume treasure.
1t is worked out on the simplest lines,
vet il is comprehensive. concise, un
derstandable and authoritative.
This handbook not only shows the
color and chief markings of each bird,
but also shows whether a bird is large
or small. Moreover. by means of group
pictures, il shows all the birds arranged
according to season. With these two
features TO aid, Identification of vari-
Gus birds is easy. even for the beginner.
Every land bird cast Of the Rocky
mountains 1901 species in all) is pic
tured. To accompany these pictures
Doctor Chapman has written text de-
scribing the Distinguishing marks. range.
nest, eggs and song of each bird and
the localities where and seasons when
it may be found.
Doctor Chapman is the author of
many elaborate treatses in his specially,
but none Of them will be as useful as
this uupretentious but highly valuable
little book, which is light enough and
thin enough to be carried afeld, yet big
enough to be packed with information,
pictorial and verbal. 1t is boiling
down of his other valuable handbooks,
such as Bird Life" Handbook Of the
Birds of Eastern North America" etc.
IL tells how to know the birds at u
glance, summer or winter. The plates,
by Edmund Sawyer, while very much
reduced in size, are well drawn and
colorcd.

IN CHARMING STORY
Patchioork" a Novel That Has
Hun,or and Pattos, Sense
and Sentiment

Patchwork" a story OF the plain
people, sets Anna Balmer MYERS ad :
venturing successfully in the field that
was originally explored for fictionsl pur
poses by Helen Reimensnyder Martin.
Inc author shows detailed and in
formed knowledge Of the life she describes
tneiocale of her story and the character :
,stics of the plain people" Of her title.
In addition she haS. a developed sense
or story construction, with n feeling for
climax and dramatic effect, though the
nature OF her plot precludes any special
STRIVING for suspense and surprise.
The form Of the story Is really the
narrative of the career of a central
character, Phoebe, from early child
hood to her marriage to the right sweet
heart: it runs along as consecutively
as life ITSELF. with something of life's
simplicity and spontaneity and with the
actual lack of the sensational aud melo-
dramatic which has habit of marking
the progress of the life of the generality
OF folk outside of novels. And this, too.
despite the fact that the latter part Of
the book runs along currently with the
war, Phoebe at home doing Red Cross
and other war work, and David playing
his part manfully, but without any
false heroics in embattled France.
David, with his drop Of Irish Mac
Knight to leaven his pre- revolutionary
Dutch" of the Palatinate ancestry, is
the right hero of romance and not
Phares, the serious preacher. who. how
ever, is manful, too, and likable, won as
he is from the CONSTRUCTED and narrow
impulses Of his constitutional and tradi.
tional being through the influence OF
the war.
The stage setting is Lancaster county
and the quaint customs and ways of
the locale are realistically and atmos:-
pherically reproduced, including. such
things as the Feast of Roses at Green
wald. The scene shifts while to
Philadelphia. where the art and music
life is sketched as part of Phoebe's
evolution toward herself.
The book is rich in honest sentiment.
bright humor, bits Of wistfulness and
pathos, occasional quaint charm of per-
sonal outlook and philosophical view
point and a shrewd, longheaded and
sometimes hardheaded insight into the
practical values Of things.

HoovER's PHILOSOPHY.

Herbert Hoover does not believe
there is much profteering in bread. He
estimates that the farmer gets about
three cents for the wheat that goes
into -four to make a loaf of bread and
places the cost of that -four to the
baker at As cents and says the aver
age profit of the baker on a loaf is
about sixty-two one hundredths of a
cent. If he is correct there can be lit
tie profteering anywhere along the
line as 13 cents for grinding the wheat
and distributing the flour is a reason
able cost. There is, however, a con-
siderable gap between the 4.3 cents
paid for flour and the Is to IS cents
charged the consumer for a loaf of
bread that the people may suspect saw
ors of profteering.
But it is Mr.. Hoover's advice to the
members of the American Association
of Baking industries on cheapening pro-
duction costs that his philosophy is
revealed. He told them that the price
of bread should not be reduced by re-
ducing wages or cutting the proceeds
of the farmer.
"The whole development of Ameri-
can life,'' said Mr.. Hooker, "must de-
pend upon an increasing standard of
living, and the primary duty of or
ganized society is to enlarge the lives
and increase the standard of all the
people, not of any one class. Any
plan to that end which fails to pre-
serve the leaven of individual initia-
tive, the motive power of all human
progress, is vitality wrong, and the in
itiative that the baking industries
have taken as a trade for the improve
ment of technical processes and for
labor saving devices to produce more
and better bread at less cost may be
people. F"
That is sound philosophy that may
safely be applied to all industry if
labor will respond with increased pro-
duction for increased wages. But
Franklin K. Lane, who has completed
a survey of industrial conditions in
the country, says: Although labor is
costing still more than it did last year,
it apparently is producing no more.
Wages have advanced from 10 to so
per cent in the last twelve months, and
nowhere is there reported increase in
productivity per man. These facts
collected by Mr. Lane tend to discredit
Mr.. Hoover's philosophy.

In the Days News.

Rev James L. Barton, who cele-
brates his Goth birthday anniversary
today, has served for many years as
secretary of the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions. He
is Vermonter, was educated at Mid
dlebury college and at Hartford Theo-
logical seminary, and went to Turkey
in 1885 as a missionary stationed at
Harpoot. In the course of time he be-
came professor in the missionary col
iege, and later its president. In 1894,
because of his proved administrative
ability and his general knowledge of
social and political conditions in the
Near East, he was summoned home to
join the secretarial staff of the Ameri-
can board. In his position he has come
to have much influence with the
churches, with educators throughout
America, and with Washington officials
charged with care of American inter.
ests in Turkey

CHANGE IN SENTIMENT.

The state Republican convention of
Massachusetts enthusiastically adopted
the following resolutions:
We congratulate the Republicans of
Massachusetts on the record which has
been made in Washington during the
last two years by their senior senator,
Henry Cabot Lodge. To him more than
to any other man in the United States
we owe the preservation of our gov
eminent from entanglements in the af-
fairs of Europe, against which Wash
ington warned his countrymen. To him
we owe our independence in the deter
mination of our own foreign and do
nestle policy. We hail him as a
worthy successor of the great Ameri-
cans who founded this country, framed
its constitution, and laid the founda-
ton of the republic which now lights
the way to the peace and advancement
of the world.
