ALASKA NOTES

After a late Spring. dry spell
 of unusual length in the early sum- mer Nome is said to be experience ing the wettest kind of weather im-
 aginable. Nearly three weeks of nearly continuous rain at Nome has | flooded the surrounding country. In many instances the water attained heights never before known since the whites came into the district. A con. l siderable quantity of fuel oil was swept away on Osborne creek. Considerable anxiety was experienc ed in Fairbanks recently when d party of berry pickers composed Of women and children failed to return to their homes, at the end of the day in the nearby hills. Two search | ing parties went out before they were finally located on Steel creek | in an old cabin where they had taken
 refuge from a storm. A woodchopper
 in the vicinity had supplied them
 with fuel and food which kept them
 comfortable.

Flying for Rest

NJ. Luckiesch, director of a research
laboratory of the General Electric
Company and author of Artificial Light,
already published, and Lighting the
Home, soon to be issued by the Cen
tury Company, says that nothing else
is so refreshing a change from sedcn-
tary scientific work as flying. He has
spent more hours in the air than most
of the army aviators. To come from
his Office every day and go up to see
the sun set, he thinks that would pre-
pare hm for dinner and a good nights
rest, and he is trying to organize
sort Of combined aviation and country
club within easy distance of Cleveland,

she remarks, "but I see no call to be
indecent"
Her books are described as quite
unmarried by any spark Of cleverness,
flash Of wit or morbid taint Of philoso-
phy.' For the sake Of better demon
stration Of her abilities Miss Macaulay
permits Leila Yorke to take turn
at telling the story. 1t is her oppor-
tunity to write Of the murder of her
son-in-law. Her chapter on the
tragedy begins:
Love and truth are the only things
that count. I have often thought that
they are like two RATS on the stormy
sea OF life, which otherwise would
swamp and drown us struggling human
beings. If VIC follow these two stars
patiently they will guide US at last
into port"
There are already too many Leila
lorkes in the field. many 100 many.
And we are afraid this satire amusing
as 1t is, is phrased in too subtle terms
to discourage any of them. PERHAPS
they deserve a place, but we shall al
ways begrudge it to them. The views
OF Leila Yorke's own family make an
IN .eresting sketch, especially Clare's:
Glare had always been heu mothers
great standby in the matter Of litcra-
ture. She was also useful as a touch
stone, as a foolometcr, though her
mother did not call her that. If a book
went with Clare, it went With Leila
Yorke's public beyond. Mr.. Potter was
a less satisfactory reader; he regarded
his wife's books as good fer sale, and
his comments were: That should 60
all right. That's done it, which atti-
tude, though commercially hclpful, was
less satisfying to the creator than
Clare's uncritical absorption in the
characters and story. Clare was, in
fact, the public.

terial to pack her book with wit, clever
ness, piercing observations and gentle.
amusing satire
Not content with the day to-day do
ings of her young people, Miss Macaulay
lnterpolates murder mystery into her
story, which is not at all necessary for
sustaining an interest in her charac-
ters. The episode of the murder might
easily stand by itself 1t presents as
dramatic and mystifying qualities as
many murders which furnish the plot
for an entire piece. 1t has both surprise
and logic and a denouement not de-
lnyed long enough to become obvious.
Ar economical author would have saved
that murder for another novel.
But Miss Macaulay is generous
throughout. She never stints nor
spares. Whatever she has to give she
gives willingly and cheerfully. Her
characterizations come in swift tell
ing strokes, in thumbnail sketches
which often expand to full, finished
portraits. She plants a seed of humor
and lets it grow naturally without
forcing it. She writes with the con-
fidence of a veteran, though she has
not yet achieved full maturity Of style.
