Dostoevsky Reveals His Unusual Mastery of
Abnormal Psychology in Two Stories

And he is buried with pomp and cir

with laudatory inscriptions.
Nyetochka Nyezvanov is double
tragedy, observed by a nervous, sensi-
tive and impressionable girl. First
there is the tragedy. of the girls father,
d volinist of genuine natural ability,
who ruins his career through dissipa-
ton. Plunged into the deepest poverty
and degradation, he nourishes himself
upon two illusions-that he is the
greatest musician in the world, denied
recognition through stupidity and NAL
ice, and that he is held back from
success by his wife, who acts as a
drag upon his genius. Both the ii,u-
sions are shattered in one night. He
hears a great artist, whose musical
ability overpowers him, and he comes
home to find his wife dead The two
false props of his own wretched life
are knocked down. He goes eff and
dies in delirium.
Nyetochka again comes in contact
with an atmosphere of brooding sad
ness in the family by whom she is
brought up. The wife is gentle and
humble; occasionally she gives way Il
fits of extreme melancholy. The hus-
band is morose and taciturn. Finally
Nyetochka discovers that the husband
knows of an intimate relation which
formerly existed between his wife and
another man; he constantly holds this
relation as sort Of spiritual club over

No Life Without Vitamines
And Milk Is the Ideal Food, Says DR.. Harrow
Containing Three Foodstuffs

NITAM1NES: Essential Food Factors
by Benjamin Harrow (E p. Dutton g.
Coz.
((TH1S BOOK" writes the
author, "is popular pre-
sentation of subject which
concerns every one Of US; for
vitamines are substances, as yet
ill-defined, whose presence in food is
essential to our wellbeing, their alb
sence makes life impossible. The en-
tire subject is not more than ten years
old-we ate vitamines before 1910, but
We were not aware Of it-yet the mass
Of work that has been done during
these few years has added enormously
to our knowledge of the science of
nutrition"
The subject Of vitamines represents
the latest, the most fascinating, and
IN some ways the most important
chapter In the study Of nutrition. The
story Of their discovery, of their uses,
and Of tho types of malnutrition and
diseases that develop in their absence,
is told SO simply and so graphically
in the book before us that there can
no longer be any excuse for ignorance
on the part Of the general public. The
author very wisely takes for granted
that the reader possesses no scientific
knowledge Whatsoever; so that start
ing with the A B c facts Of nutrition
the reader Is led, step by step, into
the land Of promise.
Three Types Of vitamines
Largely rs the result Of work by
American Investigators, among whom
Funk, Osborne. Mendel and McCollum
stand out prominently, we know to-day
that there are at least three types OF
vitamines. which for the sake of con-
venience are differentiated as A, B and
G. Tho A, or fat soluble vitamine.

preventing the development Of ricketts,,

times. And it is to be feared that Fate
was not so kindly to all of them as
she was to Andrew Lackaday.
Mr.. Locke imparts distinctly
french atmosphere to the novel. Near
ly all the scenes of circus life are laid
IN French towns. One of the most at
tractivc characters in the story is
Elodie, the Marseilles girl whom Lack
aday takes as partner and companion.
She has natural wit and vivacity and
genuine feeling. Her flashing retort to
a demi- ondaine who taunts her about
her questionable costume is one of
the most piquant episodes in the book
Lackaday himself, with his awkward
ness, his modesty, his taciturnity and
his high and delicate sense Of honor. is
quite the traditional English gentle
man. And the Lady Auriol, whom he
marrcs, is a splendid type of the active
british aristocratic woman, who
travels all over the world, explores all
sorts OF strange places and proved
nightly efficient as an organizer in
war TIME.
The story Is written in Mr.. Locke's
familiar smoothly flowing and easy
style. 1t is suffused with quality of
benevolent humanity that lends genu-
inc pathos to the sad end of Prepimpin,
the trained dog which is Lackaday's
most devoted follower. It's gentle humor,
its half whimsical and wholly enter
tanning plot and its persuasive human
touch entiile The Mountcbank to a high
place among the novels of the year.

With a Farmer for a Hero
Rugged Strength and Simplicity in Story of
Peasant Life by Nobel Prize Winner

GROWTH OF THE SOIL Ry Knut Ham
rWn' IN two volumes Translated by w.
Knopf
"HlS is q very great book. The
theme is simple to the point OF
austerity. A man goes into the
wilderness, builds a hut with
his own hands, breaks ground, marries
rears family. sows and plows and
works nightly until he is overtaken by
old age. And out of the material af-
iorded by the quiet, uneventful lives
~ the pioneer. 1sak, and his neighbors
knut Hamsun's genius creates monu
mental epic of mans eternal friendly
struggle with the soil which gives him
bread and clothing.
Most of the famous epcs in the
worlds literature have been built up
about the exploits OF legendary war
riors. But the farmer, the man with a
hoe and spade, Is an older and more un-
changing figure in human history than
the warrior. Ever since the dim begin
nings Of civilization men have some
how planted and harvested crops.
An Epic of the Soil
It has remained for Kuut Hamsun to
write the epic of the SOIL work that
possesses the timeless appeal of
Homer's Iliad and Millions Paradise
Lost. Growth Of the Soil is a great
hymn to the gods who preside over the
fruits Of the earth and their distribu-
tion. Its appeal Is not affected by any
local or transitory considerations. It
will be Just as significant five hundred
years from now as it is to-day.
Tho work is naturalistic and realistic
to the core. Hamsun doesn't give US
artificial shepherds and shepherdesses,
saluting each other with pretty
speeches. On the contrary, his char
acters act and talk exactly as Norwe-
Pian peasants might be expected to act
and talk. Their thoughts are slow and
their language is rough, but they are
almost all sound and healthy, constant
'ly invigorated by hard work and close
contact with the earth
The author Is detached and objective
and unsentimental. He never gives
the impression Of conscious striving
after idyllic effects. Yet passages of
rare descriptive beauty constantly crop

SOME ESSAYS ON COLE COURSE

I'm HIS preface H. S. Colt writes
that he thinks it unnecessary to
apologize for book on golf course
architecture. He feels that golf
ers throughout the world are taking
their game seriously enough to be will
ing to find out how the courses are
made-where and how the bunkers
should be placed, the reason behind
the undulations of the putting green,
ideals for locating the teeing area.
These are important subjects, not to
be slid over lightly with line or two
Of comment. In this book the au-
thors give due space and consideration
to their development, though in many
respects their judgment seems to be
tinged with certain conservatism.
For instance, in the chapter on the
placing Of bunkers they advise post
poning "the construction of some Of the
bunkers until the course is in playing
order" We should 60 further than
this. We should postpone the con-
struction of all the bunkers until the
course is ready for play and then 60
on postponing construction year after
year until the club members forget
there was such an invention as the
bunker.
Later the authors concede that ain

process of elimination. "If." writes
DR.. Harrow, in recording some re-
markable experiments with rats, "a diet
is adequate when butter fat is in
cluded and not adequate when butter
fat gives place to lard, we look to the
butter fat for tho missing factor If.
after having examined the butter our
chemistry still affords us no help in
isolating the effective substances; it.,
after having accounted for evcry known
constituent in butter fat, we are unable
to trace the effective substance to any
one of the constituents, then we are led
to the conclusion from our feeding
experiments that something is there
which chemical analysis has so far
failed to detect. We cannot see it.,
but Its effects are obvious. The effects
come within the range Of our senses
we cannot see micro organisms with
the naked eyes; we detect their pres
ence by the use of the microscopes We
cannot see atoms and the still smaller
elcctrons, yet science has found way
OF measuring them. And so we have
not so far been able to isolate
vitamine, We have not as yet been able
to look at one, but our science teaches
us how to know when it is present or

Fat soluble A is present in abun-

tain little. In a general way, the state
ment may be made that this vitamine is
present in green leaves and in the
embryos Of many seeds.
Water soluble B is more abundant
than either of the other two. In fact,
nearly all natural foods contain some
OF it. Yeast is particularly rich in this
vltamlne. SO arc milk and orange

Milk the Ideal Food
Milk is one of the few foods that
contain all three vitamines. "In plan

ought, wherever possible, to plan it
around milk as the nucleus. Milk con.
ta!ns the three classes Of foodstuffs=
tat, protein and carbohydrate-the min

sary 'amfno-acids' and all three vita

Of the hero of his new novel.
Andrew Lackaday is an accomplished
circus comedian and d distinguished
soldier who rose to the rank Of briga-
dicr general after enlsting as pri-
vate. Juggling and soldering are the
only two professions in which he is
expert.
So, when the war is over and an un-
sympathetic War Office offers him a
commission of much lower rank, he
quits the army and takes job with an
itinerant circus which plays in various
French towns. The tragedy of his stu
alton is enhanced by the fact that he
has fallen in love with an English lady
Of noble birth during the war. But
there is French girl who has been his
partner in former days and he feels in
honor bound not to desert her.
Mr.. Locke deftly cuts this, Gordlan
knot, and the readers inevitable SYM
pathy with Lackaday and his plight Is
gratified by an ending which is happy
for every one, even for the French girl
who apparently stood in the hero's way.
The problem indicated in the novel un-
questionably confronted many demobil-
lied officers, especially those who had
not been able to achieve conspicuous
success in civilian pursuits in pre-war
