Golf Ballads

LYRICS OF THE LINKS. Compiled by
Henry Litchfield West. Published by
the Macmillan Company. 81.
TsHE glories of the noble game o.
golf are here celebrated in verse
by John Kendrick Bangs, Ring Lard
ner, Clinton Scollard, Grantland Rice,
Tom Mason. Edgar Guest, Andre W
Lang and other bards of more or less
renown. The tired business man who
finds his recreation in golf will doubt
less sympathize with "The Golfers
Prayer" as voiced by Ring Lardner:
| do not ask for strength to drive
Three hundred yards and straight;
do not ask to make in FIVE
A hole that's bogey eight.
I do not want skill in play
Which others can't attain;
plead for but one Saturday
On which it doesn't rain.
The charm of the book is notably
enhanced by a number of clever and
humorous Illustrations by George NJ
Richards.

given in physical theory to the fact
that prominent psychologist had
adopted spiritistic theory of mag
netic induction"
Mr.. MacIver traces the course of
social evolution from the primitive life
of early communities to the complex
existence of the modern city. In an
alyzing the relation between society
and the individual he steers a middle
course between the Scylla of anarchy
and the Charybdis of state authcri-
tarianism. Like Kant, he feels that
the individual personality is the most
sacred thing in the world, but this per-
sonality is, of course, circumscrbed
by regard for the personalities of
others. The book ends with a strong
appeal to discard institutions which
are no longer able to fulfill the indis-
pensable requirement of service to the
race.
Mr. Joad gives as an excuse for writ
ing his book the desrability of putting
ethics into some kind of relation with
life. This has not been done by most
Of the philosophers of the past, whose
systems have had little appreciable
influence upon human conduct. The
author finds the dominating element
and purpose of existence in something
which he calls the Life Force-a con-
slant impulse toward progress in the
direction of freer and richer life.
So he rejects the nihilist pessimism of
Schopenhauer and the extreme mate
rialism professed by some modern
scientists, and feels that "it is the bust
ness of individuals to carry forward the
purposes of the Life Force" His thought
is obviously strongly influenced by the
Behaviorist theory and by the psyche
analytic psychology of Freud and Jung.

Science for Life
Applying knowledge to
Human Problems

THE CONTROL OF LIFE. BY J. Arthur
Thomson. Published by Henry Holt & Co.
HNHE historian of the future will per-
81 haps find the outstanding dis
tinctive feature of the last CEN
tury in the remarkably rapid advance
which took place in almost every
branch Of scientific knowledge. During
this period the results of scientific dis
covery dominated human life as never
before. The destinies of nations were
shaped by the railroad and the tele-
graph, by the new uses of steam and
electricity far more than by the victo-
ries of generals and the schemes Of
diplomats.
The central idea of Professor Thom-
sons book is that science can be made
to serve life still more effectively in
the future. He believes that the best
hope of human progress lies in the
progressive application Of trained in
telligence to problems which have
hitherto been neglected and left to
chance for their solutions.
There are very few departments Of
life that have not been touched by the
forward march of science. Our an
cestors looked upon famine and pssti-
lence as inevitable visitations of Provi-
dence. Present-day medical science
and the development Of modern means
of transportation have eliminated both
in advanced countries. Biology and
psychology have accomplished great
things in safeguarding the health and
the mentality of the race. If we can
not control the wilder phenomena of
nature, we can at least understand
them and do much to check their more
destructive manifestations.
Just because science has done so
much in the past the scientist Is conf
dent that it will do much more in the
future. Professor Thomson gives an
inspiring picture of new untapped
sources of energy which may be re-
leased by further progress in all the
branches of knowledge. Written in q
delightfully."- popular style, his book is
calculated to focus our attention upon
the bright future which Is in store for
mankind If goodwill can only keep
pace with the development of science
and intelligence.

Thirteen Short Stories of
High Grade

STORIES EDITORS BUY AND WHY
BY Jean Wick. Published by Small.
Maynard & Co 81
II TERE is a new idea. Jean Wick
has collected in one volume
thirteen short stories from the
pages of as many different magazines.
Each one of them is member of class
A in the ranks Of tales of its type and
to = marked degree represents the
form Of story best suited to the de-
n'ands of the magazine from which It
is taken. Marie Van Worst, Rupert
Hughes, Fannie Hurst and Edna Ferber
are among the dozen and one writers
who figure in the book, and the col
y lection as whole is significant argu-
ment for the short story as an inn
portant and to-be-developed vehicle for
the enshrining of q central idea in a
terse narrative.
The chief vslue Of "Stories Editors
Euy and Why" lies in its advice to
writer's who would try their hands on
the short story. The PREDATORY Note,
which contains shrewd suggestions, is
amplified by the group of letters at
TIE end Of the book, written by the
manuscript editors Of over forty lead
ing American magazines. These letters
alone are worth the price Of the book,
Tor they give what we have not seen
before in SO compressed space, the
inside opinions of editors as to certain
forms Of narrative and types Of stories
that best suit their individual fields Of
readers. A noval and decidedly useful
addition to the literature Of the short
story.

Optimistic Folks
Story of an American Fam
i1v Rich in Hur1or


TIE THANKFUL sP!CERs. BY Agnes
Mary Brownell. Published by Charles
Scrtbner's Sons $3.50.
Some one has said that there is a
land OF 4mor that skirts the country
of tears. Agnes Mary Brownell, in
The Thankful Spicers," a narrative of
American life in country town, sue
ceeds admirably in picturing people
whose lives reveal the elements of Joy
and trouble in series of episodes that
culminate happily. This ability to
merge successfully moments of sober
ness with those of jubilation is a
marked feature of the book, and in
itself is enough to make it a success.
The story deals mainly with che
doings of the spicer family, whose
simple lives furnish the background Of
tale full of quaint situations and hu-
morous chat. Mrs. Spicer, the always
thankful lady, is delightful character.
whose philosophy and kindness make
her the outstanding figure in the book.
Around her revolves the family-Mr.
Spicer, who is in the hauling profess
sion; Fanny, whose career as
stenographer is inspired by her fathers
purchase Of an ancient typewriter;
Jed, who works in a creamery, and
Evalina, the youngest, who has literary
ambitions. The taomely atmosphere of
the book is American in the truest
sense Of the word. 1t is good to be
able to lay hands on story that, with
out exaggeration or maudlin sentimen
gives faithful picture of the humor
and pathos peculiarly native to the av-
erage home Of the soil.

North, with It's far-off fastnesses of
ice and snow, it's vast deeps and wide
spaces, its possible perils, is assured
Of success. There is singular charm
about a cabin in frozen wilderne SIS
that one cannot resist. The pleasing
contrast Of its CONCEALED exterior. with
its interior warmth and coziness, is
seductive. Katharine Newlin Burt has
given US in Snow Blind" new stor5
of this fascinating cline that holds
the imagination as constantly as if
pictured on the screen before us. The
skill of the true storyteller is revealed
in the plot of this novel, the scenes
and events Of which. are conveyed in
vivid coloring and swift movement.
Ham Rutherford, under the alias of
Hugh Garth, hides himself from the
law in the icy hills of this northland,
having become a murderer through an
unreasonirg temper. His only COM
panions are younger brother, Pete,
and faithful cousin. Bella, who love

and contradictory nature, in which
harshness and hate fight against af-
fection and gehtleness Into the lives
OF this trio comes girl from the
world beyond the wilds, lovely crea-
ture, strayed from a stalled train and
lost in snowstorm. Hugh finds her
blinded by the snow and carries her
to his cabin in the mountains. His
tender care OF her, his beautiful voice
and his fancifui stories about himself
lead the blind girl to believe that she
loves him, until her sight is restored
and she sees his uncouth body and
nature and contrasts them with those
OF his loyal and lovable brother. The
book is full of vitality, without drag

stumlant for the most jaded fancy.

a garage artfully planted in the hottest
spot, where the tires of transconti-

adventures with Fords, Indians. tour

humorous. Also it is evident that they
are from the life. They constitute a
collection of frontier adventures re-

One should not miss these things in

biography. AS for the atmosphere, a
shrewder commingling Of the old and
new would be hard to find Casey be-
longs to the past, yet he fits into the
Ford-flled present, and one might al
most expect to find him acting as
chauffeur on a passenger airplane be-

prove that Western humor is not dead.
