hooks OF ALL SORTS FOR WINTER READING
BOYS and Inventors

Francis Rolt- Wheeler has written the
twelfth volume Of his instructive and
entertaining ~. 8. Service Series In
THE Boy with the U. s. Inventors"
DR.. Rolt- Wheeler's interesting text is
illustrated from photographs lent to the
author by the United States Govern
ment.d
The United States Patent Office Is
the avenue through which world-trans-
forming inventions pass. Through the
Patent Office, ideas which at one period
of the worlds history would have caused
the inventor to be burned as sorcerer
now enable him to be recognized as a
benefactor. Some of the most extra
ordinary benefits which the modern
world enjoys came from small patents
and humble beginnings. DR.. Rolt.
Wheeler has seized upon this phase OF
the work Of the government in THE
Boy with the u. 8. Inventors.
He shows how, through inventions,
this country has blossomed into great
ness. Intricate and complicated mcchan-
isms are described simply so that the
reader can follow every process.

that he has made profound investiga-

sub;ect As commerce as described in the

4 NEW ZANE GREY"
"The Mysterious Rider" Is an
Honestly Thrilling Story
Of the Plains

"The Mysterious Rider" is a red
blooded book, but It is clean blood. 1t
Is book of thrills--but they are hon
est thrills. No reader need feel
ashamed Of having them. The red blood
is in the veins Of the story and not in
the face of the reader.
This is about as good novel as Zane
Gray, expert at fiction of the plains,
has given his public for some time. He
knows his locale and his people. No
matter how hazardous their adventures
may be in the posture Of the plot, the
characters seem believable. And the
incidents have good semblance of
|plausibility, even though one knows one
Is reading n romance. There are little
identifying and humanizing touches
about Grey's folk, men and women.
which make them likable and memoir
able, even after the book has been read
through.
And he does know how to construct
plot. His stories are well wrought
with legitimate dependence on suspense
and surprise. There is working up
to climaxes which set the pulse to beat
ing faster. There is often, as in this
volume. mystery which grips and holds
interest.
The plot of '"The Mysterious Rider"
centers about q stranger who came un-
expectedly to Bellounds Ranch. He
was not young and he was not aggres-
sive. But he was such gun fighter
when aroused that he became known
by the epithet of Hell Bent" Wade.
1t takes long story Of his experiences
in dealing with cattle rustlers and other
bad men to clear up the mystery-the
ltragedy-in the life of this gentle but
decisive personality. But the end is
worth waiting form view of the hap
piness of the wild flower girl Columbine
really his daughter--and her realized
romance with his friend and young

Tone poem. Don Juan" ..........,.s Strauss
Ossip Gabrilowitsch, conductor Of the
Detroit Orchestra was the guest con-
ductor Of our own organization Mt yes
terday afternoons concert. Mr.. Cab
rilowitsch will also conduct this eve
ming and will lead the orchestra during
its tour Of the coming week.
The program selected by the visiting
conductof was highly diversified one
and one we'll calculated to test the
abilities. technical and inSrpretative OF
any conductor, leading his own orch
estra, let alone leader to whose style
Of conducting the organization was com.
at the outset that Mr.. Gabrilowitsch,
in this intensely difficult program, made
far more profound impression than he
did in the relatively simple program
which he led last season on which mp
peared the Beethoven first symphony
and the Freischutz overture.
The chief difference was that yestcr-
day he avoided any labored attempt at
unusual orchestral effects and origin
ality, with the result that his readings
we're much more characteristic and in
dividual than those last season. His
inte probation of the program was rad
ically different in many respects from
that Of Mr.. Stokowski, who has re-
pcatedly given all the works which ap-
pcared on it and his manner of the gem
eral treatment of the orchestra Is also
highly different, but it cannot be justly
said that it was any the less effective.
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch, as is 10 be eS-
pectcd in great solo performer, gives
considerable more latitude to the solo
voices of the orchestra, especially in
purely melodic passages and pays rather
loss attention to masSCd tOnal effects
Mt both ends Of the dynamic register,
something in which Mr.. Stokowski
specializeS.
The concert was thoroughly enjoy
able. both in the excellence of the per-
formancc and in the new reading of
familiar works by the visiting conductor:
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch' Interpretation OF
the symphony was most interesting and
convincing. although there might DC
some question as to the rapldity OF the
tempo at the very beginning where the
sinister effect Of the reiterated beat or
the tympani was lost. giving rather the
effect OF march tempo. The slow
movement was superb and showed
most extraordinary bit of oboe playing
by that splendid artist, Marcel Tabu-
teau.
The allcgros of the Mendelssohn
overture was taken at very rapid
speed, which, if it lent brilliancy to the
general effect, surely did not add to the
Clarity of the very difficult string
passages. But Mr.. Gabrilowitsca
reached his highest point in the Don
Juan" tone poem Of St'auss. which he
made exceedingly interesting, and
showed great detail in the complicated
working out Of the various motifs as
we'll as a greater feeling for tonal son
ority than in the previous numbers.
The orchestra revealed itself as most
flexible instrument and played under
Mr.. Gabrilowitsch' baton as though
accustomed to him for long time.

N-~~--S
I'VE HAVE yet to learn with any
w degree of conviction that beauty Is
not art unless that beauty be signifi.
cant; that mere significance is not art
unless that significance be raised by a
recognition Of its inherent beauty and
harmony into the region of art A null
tipication table Is significant, very sig.
nificant; and so, alas Is an account
book. Now, Mr.. Masefeld Is one of
those rare poets who establishes in the
best of his work an equilibrium, SO to
speak, between the significance OF
reality and that ideality which Is the
essence of beauty. There are passages
in .'Dauber," for example, the
wretched anemic lad before the mast,
ennmored of color, in the supreme mo-
ment, a hero-there are passages as
imaginative as "The Lay Of the Ancient
Mariner" and as realistic as Jack Lon.
don; and the impression is that OF
poetry, not because, as in the former,
we trespass into the supernatural. but
because Of realization of the realities in
terms of the beautiful.

the effect, with all its detail Of the small

save by the. lifting power of poetry. I
cannot think Of it in free verse, for ex-
ample. For where would be the rhythm
that beats with the clatter of hoofs In
which, be 1t remarked, there is GER

won? The picture of the concourse and

the costermongers, the "bookies,' even
the Negro minstrels and sellers OF
oranges, Is vividly successful and darr-
