1.-THE BOARDWALK

1.-The Boardwalk" the latest book
by Margaret Widdemer, has just left
the press and a complimentary copy
from the publishers is upon our desk.
The book is a volume of short stor-
les connected by a similarity of setting
and theme, in which Miss Widdemer
shows unusual insight into character
and motive.
The scene is a resort town on the
Atlantic seacoast, and the story deals
mostly with those young people who
live there the year round. The under
current of community life and conven-
ton is part of the theme; the eager
and sometimes tragic search for hap
piness on the part of the young people
who see their park, their beach and
their homes periodically overwhelmed
by holiday makers is part of it. Amer
lean human nature under conditions
which sharpen reactions is the back
bone of the book. A story with a
heart interest throughout.

That United States Senator Walter
E. Edge intends to go the limit in
fighting for a place as n of the four
delegates-at-large to the Republican
National Convention at Chicago, was
made evident during the past week.
There is considerable opposition to the
selection of Mr.. Edge as oen of the So
called big four" This was apparent
at the meeting of the Republican State
Committee and the Republican County
Chairmen recently held in Trenton,
when Prosecutor Pierre P. Garven. of
Hudson County, an Edge a%ppointee
and follower, moved hat it be the
sense of the meeting that in the make
I'D of the delegation the two United
States Senators, Frelinghuysen and
Edge. be honored as de~legates-at-
large. The motion was not put to a.
vote, as it was pointed out that under
the law the delegates are selected at
the primaries and the State Committee
is prohibited from endorsing primary
candidates. However, it has always
been the custom in both parties to
send the Senators to the big conven-
ton as members of the "big four"
and there were many friends at the
meeting for continuing the custom.
Mr.. Edge recently refused to attend a
meeting in Washington of the Repub-
lican Congressional delegation from
New Jersey, the meeting being called
to determine whether the Republican
Congressional representation should
seek places as members of the States
delegation to Chicago.
