The official test of the handsome
new quadruple Stutz engine which
arrived last Thursday, will begin at
II a. m. tomorrow and continue for
several hours. This will be conducted
by a representative of the Under

Grove, N. j., Baltimore and Havre de
Grace, Maryland, Wilmington and
Middletown, the fire companies of
which towns contemplate the pur-
chase of fire fighting apparatus. The
Good Will Co. of New Castle inspect
ed the engine on Sunday.
The engine was unloaded at the
B. & o. station on Friday and under
the direction of R. R. Martin, de-
livery engineer, was given, a pre-
liminary tryout for speed On Satur-
day. Later, Chief E. c. Wilson took
the wheel and with admiring fire
laddes clinging to every available
space on the handsome red wagon,
gave the townspeople, resident on the
principal streets of Newark, an op-
portunity to view the recent purchase.
Both fire engine and fire fighters
came in for a full share of admira-
ton and applause.
Should this engine prove satisfac-
tory in the official test and be accept
ed by the Aetna Company, plans will
probably be made Immediately for
proper housing ceremonies.
The manufacturers guarantee 75O
gallons a minute for this engine and
warm admirers claim that it can do
better than thousand.

Pioneer Days
Vivid Story of Western
Trappers

KINGS OF THE MISSOURI. BY Hugh
Pendexter. Published by the Bobhs-
Merrill Company. SITS.
TNHE opening up of the vast region
Il west of the Mississippi by daring
hunters and trappers furnishes a
superb background for this superb
story of adventure and excitement. A
man had to be expert in the use Of
fists, knife and rifle to stand much
chance Of survival in those days.
Ralph Lander, the hero of Kings Of
the Missouri, is in danger of his life
from the moment when he fights duel
with an employee of the powerful Amer
lean Fur Company and leaves his oppo-
nent for dead. He is compelled to fee
from St. Louis, joining party of fur
traders who are going into the little
explored country of the Upper Missouri
and the Rocky Mountains.
Lander has many hairbreadth escapes
from the attacks of hostile Indians and
treacherous white men, but he possess
ses a stanch ally in the shape of a
wonderful knife given him by Papa
Claire, an old Frenchman and recog-
nized master in the art of duelling with
knives. This knife is Lander's means
Of escape from many difficult situa-
tions.
The author reproduces the dialect of
the frontier hunters and trappers who
play leading parts in the story. In
Papa Claire he sketches figure of suf-
ficient individuality to stand beside
some of the famous characters in Coop
er's ever popular Misunderstanding
Tales. Kings Of the Missouri is an
epic Of pioneer days, thoroughly real
istic in atmosphere and crammed full
of thrilling incidents.

Psychic Tales
Strange Stories of Weird
Phenomena

SIGHT UNSEEN AND THE CONFESS
SION. BY Mary Roberts Rinehart Pub
lished by George H. Doran Company
-HAT Mary Roberts Rinehart can
spin story that one finds diff
II fcult to drop after once getting
into its current is readily acknowledged
by all who have read a number of her
books. There is a rapidity of plot de-
velopment and a series Of clearly
etched episodes in any book from her
study that defy the critic who may be
ready to accuse her of undue haste in
writing. With her it is the sinew of
the story first and the fat of padding
afterward,
In her Sight Unseen and The Con-
fession she gives us two separate tales
of the psychic order, each highly inter-
esting and provocative of thought along
channel new to the average reader
The first relates the events that cluster
around murder, and the second has
for it's core case of morbid self
hypnotism. One deals with remarkable
revelations given by a medium while
in trance, and the other develops the
curious self-unfolding of . an aged
woman in the thrall of terrible men,
ory. While not top-liners in their par
ticular field, these two short stories are
good enough to keep one going from
the start to the tape at the finish.

Eng1and's Future
Drastic Measures Urged to
Avert Ruin
ENGLAND AND THE NEW ERA BY
Brougham Villiers. Published by e. p
Dutton & Co. $5.

ENGLAND AND THE NEW ERA BY
Brougham Villiers. Published by f. F.
~ URVEYING England's future
through mental telescope, Mr.
Villiers sees very gloomy pros
pect unless some drastic operations
are performed upon the political and
economic anatomy of the British En-.
pire. He points out the appalling
burden of the war debt, amounting to
nearly eight billion pounds sterling,
which sits like an Old Man Of the Sea
on the back Of British commerce and
industry. Unless some means is found
of disposing of this debt, Mr.. Villiers
believes that Great Britain's economic
condition will go from bad to worse,
ending in bankruptcy and violent rev.
olution.
The author scouts the idea that the
debt can be settled by ordinary meth
DDS of taxation and finance. British
taxation already is exciting indignant
protests on account of it's. severity, yet
little or no progress has been made in
the direction of repaying the huge
national obligation incurred during
the war. Mr.. Villiers is very skeptical
about the possibility of recovering any
loans which have been made to the
European powers, or Of profiting by
the German indemnity. He is not in
favor of the outright reputation of
the debt, because such policy would
ruin England's credit abroad, and Eng
land, more than any other nation, is de-
pendent upon foreign credit for her
very existence.
Still, the debt constitutes an extraor-
dinary problem, which must be solved
by resorting to extraordinary expedi
ents. Some radical economists have
suggested graduated levy on capital
as means of extinguishing the obli-
cation. Mr.. Villiers has an alterna-
tive scheme. He proposes that "the
whole land of the country, with the
buildings, railways and plants upon it
as they were in 1914, shall be take
over by the nation" at pre-war values.
The increased money value which prop
erty of all kinds possesses at the pres
ent time would thus be acquired by
the state, and could be used for the
liquidation Of the debt.
The need for vital and farreaching
political changes also is forecast IN
Mr. Villiers's book. He believes that
the war sounded the death knell of
empires based upon force. Europe,
terribly weakened and shattered +
the war, can no longer sustain the bur-
den of ornaments or repress the aspi-
rations for independence which are
making themselves manifest among
the Asiatic peoples. He predicts that
England will soon be compelled to
withdraw from Egypt and India.
In the place of the old competitive
national states the author envisages
the rise Of a world community of CO.
operative commonwealth.

National Wealth
Resources of the u. S
Fully Described

AMERICAS POWER RESOURCES BY
Chester G. Gilbert and Joseph q. Pogue.
$3.50
TT is wellnigh alarming to learn,
from "America's Power Resources"
how our present methods of max
ing use of our three prime sources Of
power-coal, oil and water-are re-
ducing reservoirs and raising the cost
of living. The effort spent annually
in this country by machinery in mo-
tion, if effected through man-power,
would demand the toll of 5000, 1000, 900
hard-driven slaves, the equivalent of
thirty servants for each member Of
our population. No wonder that a
study Of the conservation of national
motive resources and resultant ener-
gies Is one that should deserve the
thoughtful attention Of every good citi-
zen.
This book is storehouse of facts as
to what we have in our great bins Of
productive power, and signpost
pointing to new yet possible ways Of
co0rdinating activities and conserving
much that is now going to waste. For
example, we are told that tripling of
fuel efficiency may be in sight if we
can contrive to recover the leading by
products in coal 1t may be that the
settlement of whole chain of per-
picking national problems, taxation,
labor questions and cost of living, is
derivable from the active application
of suggestions contained in this neces-
sary and timely book.
