A Woman in Industry

The phase woman in industry" is
tolerably familiar now in heavy socio-
logical papers and has even got into
political terminology as the name of q
bureau in the Department of the Inte-
rior. George Weston, always a delight
full romancer. has brought it into fiction
in his new novel, MARY Minds Her
Business
Mary Spencer falls heiress to a large
manufacturing business in New Eng
land town. For many generations her
family had successfully conducted the
business, but of late it had been at
tackled somewhat by the dry fbt of old
fashioned methods. At the beginning
of the story her uncle. shrewd but
unscrupulous man, and his dissolute son
managed the works. but later Mary
made herself president and introduced
woman labor and many humanitarian
innovations, thereby furnishing the
background of a fascinating story of
modern industry, in which her fore.
sight and vision lead to success
for herself and prosperity for her com
munity.
Mary's own career. through childhood.
girlhood and womanhood is charmingly
described by Mr.. Weston. whose clever .
ness includes much both of wit and
wisdom. And he can handle a love.
story sensibly and sensitively without
sentimentalizing. Mary's love story is
as interesting and as successful as her
business enterprise.

NEW BOOKS OF PERMANENT VALUE
OF ROOSEVELT
IL Is Completed by the Publ
cation Of His Selected
Letters

Joseph Bucklin Bishop has produced
two volumes which may be regarded as
completing the autobiography of Theo-
dore Roosevelt begun by Roosevelt him
sell in volume he published some years
before his death
Mr.. Bishops book. prepared st the
request and under the direction of Mr..
Roosevelt, is made up chiefly of letters
to and from the Colonel. Mr.. Bishop
has written connecting narrative.
and he has introduced the book with q
brief summary of the early life of his
subject. The result Is a reasonably
complete record, so complete that il will
serve as a biography for those who do
not wish to know more. But when
combined with the volume of autobiog-
raphy bearing the Colonel's name on the
title page. It gives to the reader the
story of the life Of one of the most
remarkable men America hns produced

The books will not displace the ad.

ographers from trying their hand at in.
depreciation. The final judgment on
the man will not be reached for many
years.
Mr.. Bishop has done his work with
skill and discretion. He had an enor-
nous amount of material from which
to select. He says that Roosevelt
wrote at least $50 900 letters during
his life and that copies Of most Of them
were preserved. The Colonel received a
large number of letters from men and
women of all sorts. from the king Of
England to the humblest workers. Most
of these were also preserved. Out Of
this mass Mr.. Bishop has selected such
as throw light on the many sided ac-
tivities of the Colonel.
The most distinct impression left,
after reading the book consecutively,
is that the Roosevelt who entered the
New York Legislature soon after grad
uating from Harvard University was
the Roosevelt who was fighting the
dilatoriness of Wilson in the early days
of the war. The earliest letters breathe
the same spirit that inspires the latest

political and social purposes. There is

contemporaries were interested on which

THE JOURNAL OF A
SYMPATHETIC HEART
A Remarkable Book Written
by a Lonely Little Girl in
a Lumber Camp

One of the most pathetic books ever
produced in America Is the diary Of
a little girl. written in her sixth and
seventh years. She is known as Opal
Whiteiey, but that is not her name.
She does not know her real name. nor
who her father and mother were. They
died when she was about FIVE years
old. They left with her two little
books in which they had written down
the things they wished her to learn,
Those books disappeared after a time
and Opal does not know where they
are, but she thinks they are still in
existence. She was adopted by the wife
of an Oregon lumberman and named
after child that had died. She lived
with the lumberman's family and helped
with the work. But she felt herself
an alien and sought comfort in her
loneliness by making friends with all
living things. She wrote her diary on
scraps of paper, sometimes when she
was hiding under the bed. and some
times when she was alone. Its sym
pathy with all kinds Of animals and
plants and its poetic appreciation Of
them would do credit to any writer
about nature. And her pathetic loneli-
ness and her joy in talking with her
few friends who had ian understand
ing heart will move every one with
any human sympathy. The quality Of
the book is best shown by a quotation
from it. She is writing of working in
the potato field, picking up the potatoes
which others dug. She says, in con-
clusiUn:
have thinks these potatoes grow
ing here did have knowings of star
songs. / have kept watch in the
field at night and ! have seen the
stars look in kindness down upon
them. And l have walked between
the rows of potatoes, and / have
watched the star CLEANS on their
leaves. And ] have heard the wind
ask of them the star songs and the
star CLEANS did tell in the shadows
on their leaves. And as the wind

the earth voices there, did follow

And Brave Horatius "a shepherd dog)

She gives names to all her pets. A
mother pig is Aphrodite, a neighbor' s
pig is Cassiope, little chicken is called
Cardinal Richelicu, and Michael Angelo
Sanzio Raphael is the name given to
"a grand fir tree with an understanding
soul" and so on. No one interested
in delicate sentiment and child imagin-
ings can afford to neglect this book.

CERTAINLY, TO BE SURE

No farmer wishes to decrease the
production of crops; but will he be
able to do what he should do if help
is not obtainable? The Southern
Agriculturist says exactly the right
thing in very few words in the
following editorial:
Reduced food production threat
ened," says recent circular of the
u. S. Department of Agriculture,
High wages in other industries take
many people from the farm"
Certainly. The clamor about the
high prices of farm products goes
ceaselessly on, but farm products
are the cheapest things TO be bought
today. The proof of this is right at
hand in the fact that the farmer can
not compete in the labor market with
other industries, and that the drift
of population from country TO town
goes steadily along.
