HUNTING A SLOGAN.

There Is no more interesting liter ary game than that of hunting a slo- gan. Aside from the benefit derived from the intellectual gymnastics that enter into 1t, there is tremendous value in the impetus given to the in- terest in the cause for which the slo- gan is to become an epitome.
 This is one of the interesting incl dents in the campaign being conduct ed by the Forward Education Move ment in behalf of the public schools of Arkansas. The director of the movement. Major J. J. Harrison, is offering a prize of $l0 cash for the best slogan submitted and $l each for the next 25 selected by the judges These slogans must emphasize the need and the challenge of the edu- cational system of Arkansas. Liter ally thousands of suggestions are be- ing received and the judges will have a serious task before them in win moving from this immense number the few precious grains of wisdom that shall be an incentive to those who are devoting their time and tal- ent to raising the educational ideals of the state. It would not be prac- tical to quote even a small fraction of the suggested slogans. Sometimes it Is found that the slogan with the greatest pulling power comes spon- taneously, as did that suggested by a Newport banker, Let's Sweep Ar kansas Clean of Ignorance, From the great mass of suggestions, a dozen are taken at random:
 Education is the keenest weapon yielded against illiteracy.

New York Romance

THE BROWN MOTH. BY Oscar Graeve.
Published by Dodd. Mead & Co.
THE figure of Lola Kargo, an at
tractive, ambitious girl, dominates
this realistic story of modern New
York life. The author gives an elo-
quent picture Of the charms Of his
heroine:
"And yet there was something about
Lola that made her stand out from her
kind, something quick and determined
and capable, but also something warm
and soft and lovely-a brilliance in
her liquid gaze, flush upon her round
ed cheek, a sheen that glistened upon
her brown hair-that made men turn
and gaze after her as she passed them.''
Lola's faithful but shiftless and in
efficient lover, Dannie, is forced to flee
on account of a theft from his en-
ployers. She is sorely tempted by the
love of her employer, an aggressive mid
dle-aged business man, whose youth is

The Frozen North

THE ICE PILOT BY Henry Leverage.
Published by Doubleday Page &c Co.
MUCH OF the fierce, gripping fasci-
nation of Jack London's The Sea
Wolf is to be found in this stirring
tale Of the adventures Of rough, hardy
men in the frozen northern waters
The struggle between the United States
Fisheries Commissioners and the raid
ers who invade the seal rookeries fur
nishes many exciting episodes. Nature
is sometimes more malevolent than
man; and the hero finds himself
stranded on an icedoe with the woman
he loves, deserted by his crew. The
story of his perilous escape to the
friendly Greenland coast is an epic of
hardship and adventure. Mr.. Leverage
has himself led the wild seafaring life
which he describes, and his style is so
vivid and picturesque that his readers
can scarcely fail to experience the vi
carious thrill Of risking their lives
amid the icebergs Of the Arctic region.

PURITAN AND PAGAN. BY Elizabeth F.
Corbett. Published by Henry Holt
& Co.
TIME keynote of this somewhat
subtle and sophisticated novel is
to be found in it's sharp projec-
tion of the contrasted influences of
two women upon a struggling young
painter. Nancy Desmond, an artist,
whose life is dominated by the puri-
tanical conceptions Of duty, renuncia-
ton, self-restraint, is set off by Mary
Allen, beautiful actress, who believes
in enjoying life without much regard
for its conventionalities.
Between these two women stands
Roger Greene, whose excellent, consci-
cntious work fails to bring him sue
cess until he paints Mary Aliens por-
trait. Roger is good deal Of
Puritan himself. He was born in New
England. For time, however, he is
carried away by the actresses beauty
She accepts his love, but refuses his
offer of marriage And in the end
their affair breaks off and he returns
to Nancy for his true and lasting
romance. Nancy herself has passed
through severe strain. Out of low.
atty to a friend she has repressed an
undisciplined passion of her own.

Absorbing Story of Their
Strange Disappearance

TIE GREAT PEARL SECRET. BY c. n.
and A.. N. Williamson. Published by
Doubleday, Page & Co.
THOSE we'll known collaborators
the Williamsons, have spun an
other fascinating tale out of
threads Of intrigue and adventure
Juliet Phayre, an American heiress,
marries Lord Claremanagh, an Irish
peer, whose only valuable possessions
are his title and rope of mangifcent
pearls which originally belonged to o
Russian Czarina.
Shortly after the marriage false
pearls are mysteriously substituted for
the genuine heirloom. A sharp quar-
rel between husband and wife follows,
for Juliet suspects LYDIA Pavowa, a
Polish dancer, of winning away both
the pearls and the dukes affection
Then the duke himself vanishes and
remains hidden despite the strenuous
efforts of Juliet, assisted by her cousin,
Jack Manners, and private detective,
to find him.
Many intricate factors enter into the
final solution of the mystery, which
is reserved for the last chapter. The
true story Of the pearls and their dis
appearance is long and complicated,
but in the end both the duke and the
Polish dancer are quite cleared of
blame and the real criminals are
brought to justice. The authors talent
for creating tales Of mystery and ad-
venture is again impressively vindi--
Gated.

After the outbreak Of the World War

Haggard contrives to get Quatcrmain

of Ayesha, into a dream state that
gives them glimpses of the world o.:

dueed at this point in the story that
we believe We detect the authors quite
reasonable doubt as to the attitude Of

swing in the fine account of the des-
rerate battle at dawn between the fol-
lowers of Ayesha, led by Quatermain

savage cannibals led by the giant Rezu
The combat between the Zulu ak
swinger and the giant is a thriller,
with all the sweep and smash of a
Homeric duel or a Morse hand-to-hand
fight. Haggard is wholly himself when
he gets into the strategy and the actual
rush of an African battle.

THE NEXT CORNER. BY Kate Jordan.
published by Little Brown & Co.
ME fascination of Kate Jordan's
earlier novel, Against the Winds.
is recalled by The Next Corner.
There is the same strength of emotional
appeal, the same vivid characterization.
the same variety of intensely dramatic
situations. The author tells her story
IN glowing, animated, graphic style.
Elsie Maury deserts her husband,
prosaic American mining engineer, for
the meretricious charms Of a Spanish
nobleman of ancient lineage and loose
morals. Her forbidden romance ends
almost as soon as it begins, for the
Spaniard is shot by an enemy. But she
has already written to her husband, in
forming him Of her desertion. Return
ing to America, she is amazed to find
that her husband has never received the
letter.
The mystery Of its non-delivery is not
explained until the very end Of the book.
But Elsie lives through tortures of sus-
pense and fear, anticipating each day
that the fatal message may arrive. The
suspense of the situation is admirably
depicted. After long period of agon-
lied waiting Elsie finds her dread re-
moved, and the happy ending compen-
safes for the essential tragedy of the
story.
1t is a strong story, with variety of
dramatic situations, handled with skill
and sympathy. Its realism is lghtened
with an abundance of sentiment. 1t
stands out as a successful novel on ac-
count of the ecstatic sweep of it's style,
its warm, vital figures and its cleverly
conceived plot.

Sins of Style
President Wilson's Adiec-
tives Condemned

rs sysrd sT3Rh Haze Hs rSblshed sfhs BY BY T;% b "
Hucbsch.
w 4 msrly one me, or Of Mr.. r.Nvr' Wilson'S an'
warmest admirers, subjects the
Presidents writings and uttcrnnces to
merciless, laborious and mordant an
alysis in this work, which is described
as psychoanalytic studH Of Woodrow
Wilson. Mr.. Hale IS convinced that
Mr.. Wilson has always used far too
many adjectves, and has used them
chiefly for the purpose of Disgusting
his Deficiencies Of thought.
The author institutes statistical
comparison of the number of verbs and
adjectives used by Wilson and by vari-
Gus other writers. Using the first one
hundred and eight words on Page 1T
OF each volume as his standard of
measurement, he finds that Wilson
employs one verb and thirty adjectives,
as against Thomas Hardy's fourteen
verbs and one adjective, Carlyie's
twelve verbs and four adjectives,
Macaulay's eleven words and two ad-
jectives. etc.
The President, in Mr. Hale's opinion,
possesses positive genius for super
fluous characterization. Discussing Mr.
Wilson's George Washington, he says:
at is ditficult--he himself would say,
most difficult-for Mr.. Wilson to state
anything without intcnsification. If
the object which swims under his ken
is not as it is likely to be, absolutely
it is tolerably certain to be most or
very something or other. On single
page GC6), for instance, we get 'in-
satiable RELISH 'unstinted work. 'un-
tagging discipline and 'tireless ride
On another page (o1s) we read of the
supreme and final test and Of perfect
praise crowned with full mcaning."
Mr.. Hale further accuses Mr.. Wilson
Of indulging in aristocratic afrecta-
tions, of employing cheap and meaning
less symbolism and of constantly
fleeing from fact amid clouds of rhet-
orical fancy.
