SOME OF THE NEW
NOVELS OF SPRING
Smken Treasure, the Sea, Pa
rdnoia and Domestic Psy-
chology the Themes

The average person first heard Of
paranoia at the time of the Thnw
cause celebre' and the term is now
pretty widely distributed in the public
consciousness. DIR. George Lincoln
Walton. we'll known for his books on
alienism and neurasthenia, such as
why Worry" and Those Nerves"
has departed from the field of the popu-
larized medical treatise in Oscar Mon
tague, Paranoiac," which Is piece
of interesting fiction. "A paranoiac is
n person who is out of joint with, his
surroundings according to the def
milton. This maladjustment is explic.
able in the case of the most brilliant
I'Of the Montagues, the hero of this tale.
His family and his environment are
shrewdly skctched by Doctor Walton.
The book is dramatic and wittily writ
ten. 1t shows that many of us are in
more or less limited sense the sub
jccts of paranoia.
Another story of family development
through hcredity and environment is
'"The Marbcck Inn," by Harold Brig
house Mainly it centers about the
hero, the son Of an English working
family. who strides upward and ahead.
His business career. which is success
full. is told in relation to his marriage,
which Is not successful. Then comes
his real romance. The record is almost
like the chronicles of one of our Amer
lean self made men who become mag
mates. The development of the tale Is
| logical and the characters are convinc-
ing. There is a decided comedy sense
to tighten the more serious matters Of
psychology.
"All the Brothers We're Valiant" is
somewhat epical yarn of the sea
but with its lyrical tunes, too. 1t has
more of the Quality-the red blooded-
ness-of Jack Lopdon's fiCtional sea
scapes than the atmospheric marine
painting of Joseph Conrad, though Mr..
Williams is not at all initiative and
he writes very Colorful descriptions. The
pagan of family is found on an island
where he is pirate and pearl hunter.
/ His brothers quest far TO find him and
when they discover him It Is only 10
/ enter upOn n most thrilling and absorb
! ing story of hidden treasure, mutinies
! and tropic love.
( Sunken treasure trove also is the ma =
terial about which Roy Norton builds
, his exciting novel. Drowned Gold. "
! The hero is young American shipmas-
ter who searches for the treasure of n
ship sunk in the great war. OF course,
there is romance in it, too. The style
/ is far above that of the average adven-
ture tale.
