search the sea for fish, the Spaniard

small box of prose. One reads The
Mayfower with two chambers of the
mind draining the pages for his store
house of memory, one apartment re-
ceiving the wealth of lavish pictorial
effects strewn all through the book and
the other accepting gratefully Ibanez's
strangely direct and effective analyses
of his crude and tremendously human
people.
The novel-its plot is concerned with
four persons, two brothers and their
wives, for all the other characters are
but accessories of background-is a
rechanting of the eternal song of love,

against wife, The Mayfower, the boat
built and owned by the elder brother,
gives the book its title, but, like the
Argo of Jason, it is only boat, a
thing made by hand to figure in the
theme of the book. The realities of the
text are of the mind, and they are
fashioned into pulsing matters of mood
and action by creator who can paint
with a brush that splashes glowing
daubs of appropriate color or limns
delicate shadows of intimate revela-
ton. A great novel.
A picture from The Mayfower:
Along the green horizon line some
pointed sails dotted the sky like wings
of doves that might have been drink
ing off there. The shore at this point
receded, forming blight in the land
with masses of green and clusters of
white cottages alternating along the
coast. Here were the hills of the Puig,
big swellings in the low-lying strand,
which the sea sometimes swept over
in its angry moods. And there was the
castle of Sagunto, its wavy ramparts
curling up and down along the summit
of the ridge of caramel brown. Be.
yond that, and closing the horizon
shoreward, was the saw-toothed Cor
dillera, with ripples of red granite, its
unmoving crests reaching up to lap
the sky-like tongues" S. A.

Hearing Today.

Results of the hearing on the
street railway merger bill are ex-
pected to be reported to the Senate

In spite of opposition to the
France measure. which authorizes
the Washington Railway and Eiec-
trio Company to absorb the Poto-
mac Electric Power Company,
which was voiced at the subcom-
mittee hearing by the Public Util-
tiles Commission, the report is ex-
pected to favor the bill, with a pro-
vision that the merged companies
consolidate with the Capital Trac-
tion Company, thus uniting the
street car companies of the city in
the interest OF better service and
possible reduction OF rates. ON

and Electric Company and the Po-
