Books and the Puritan
Old Records Prove Puritans Were Readers OF
Books

LITERARY CULTURE IN EARLY NEW
ENaLANp BY v1ra;tn TnH,nas rress aoasars N.S
Haven, Conn.
The rank and Ale Of histories and
essays on the Pilgrim and the Puritan
reveal them as men of no little culture,
without giving any definite statement
as to the extent Of their learning. 1t
has been said, in various forms, that a
mans mental caliber is discovered
through q glance over the shelves of
his library, particular attention being
given to such books as show the wear
Of loving handling. We didn't be-
lieve it possible to know just what vol
umes reposed on the book shelves Of
Plymouth and Boston in the first half
Of the seventeenth century until we
opened and read the late Thomas God
dard Wright's Literary Culture in
Early New England (Yale University
Press). This book, surprisingly thor
ough in its digging into old records,
can be taken as g final word on the
knowledge of books Of the men of early
Massachusetts.
We are told, at the outset, that the
soldier, Miles Standish, left about
fifty books and that William Brewster
was the owner Of nearly four hundred,
These figures are from the inventories
of estates flied among the wills in the
Plymouth Colony Records. But it was
not alone the leading men of the col
ony who had respectable libraries for
those days. Of over seventy inven-
tories examined in the first two vol
umes of the wills, only 8 dozen failed
to make spec4e mention of books. And

greater degree so OF Boston, for the
Puritans had among them many men
Of university training and others of
old reliable English stock. This ad-
mirable book settles the question Of
the love Of the first whites of Massa-
chusetts Bay for books and reading
without question.
What did they read? That's nat
ural question. In the first place, they
brought over from England many
books in Latin and some in Greek
John aHarvard's library, as revealed in
list Of selected titles, ran heavily to
Latin works, with q sprinkling of Ba-
cons Essays, Heylin's Geography, Ele-
giant Phrases and Withers (title not
giyen). When Samuel Eaton, in 1910,
gave TO New Haven his library of fully
one hundred titles the following were
on the list: Plutarch's Lives (at q
guess, North's translation), More's
Utopia, Raleigh's History of the World
and Heylin's Cosmography. Some of
us will say that such list gives
dreary reading. But such was not the
case three centuries ago. No more in
teresting study could be found for
the men who braved the Atlantic than
the geography and the natural history
Of this earth, both subjects then mat
ters of splendid and sometimes lurid
guessing, And so, Speed, Heylin, More
and Raleigh were as much sought for
as are the colorful narratives written
to-day by men who are still explorers
and diseoverers. We are proud to
know that the men who made America
in its early youth were thinkers as

A RTHUR GUY EMPEY'S first
- venture into the field of fiction
cannot be called conspicuous
success. His novel Is a weird mixture
of sensationalism and sentmentality.
Most Of the scenes are laid in the
New York underworld, and most of the
characters arc thieves, gamblers,
drunRards and drug addicts. In this
disreputable environment the heroine,
Mollie Eastman, treads the difficult
path of virtue with only single slip
until she finally becomes tired of New
York and its wickedness and fees to a
seat of rustic virtue called Eagle Nest.
Here she enjoys tranquility Of soul
and falls in love with the local minis
ter. The villain of the book, one Of
those mythical supercrooks who en-
gineer half dozen murders a year and
send people to Sing Sing at will, traces
Mollie to her retreat and tries to bully
her into returning to New York. For
tunately for the purposes of the story
a half-crazed dope fiend opportuneiy
appears on the scene and stabs the viii
lain to the heart. The literary quality
Of the novel is indicated by its con-
Guiding sentences. Mollie has just
learned that her tormentor has been
put out of the way.
"Her face lighted with holy radi-
ance as she looked to heaven. % God,
you did come through
"Two souls in heaven. smiled with
JOY. They had won.
Rushing to her trunk she unwrapped
her mothers photo, kissing it rever-

Avoided Transports

The reason for the failure to attack
our war vessels and transports Is Sim
pie. U-hoat captains were rewarded
and bemedaled on the basis of the
amount of tonnage they sent to the
bottom. Their one mission was to
starve England. It was important,
therefore, TO make every shot and every
torpedo count by attacking helpless
cargo vessels. To attack our fighting
ships would, therefore. have defeated
the one mission in which they were en-
gagged. Had it not been for this con-
centration upon the problem of starv-
ing England there can be no doubt
whatever that they could and would
have attacked our conveys with dead
illness that might have seriously jeopar-
dized the transport of our army and
seriously affected our participation in
land warfare in France. OF course the
Germans had no available air force to
attack as. This, too, must not be for
gotten
1t can be predicted that no large
army will ever again be sent overseas
in helpless transports against nation
that has efficient submarine and air
forces. 1t simply cannet ps done

HARDING URGES
ATTENDANCE At
TRAINING CAMPS
Young Men, BY Doing So.
Will Increase Their Worth
To the Nation, Says Pres
ident In Statement.

Washington, June 10.--Presi-
dent Harding urges every young
man possible to attend one OF the
war departments citizens military
training camps this summer. In
statement today he expressed the
hope that arrangements would be
completed for giving military
training to at least 100000 young
men each year.
BY attending the camps young
man, the statement said, will in
crease his worth to the nation and
obtain individual benefits of price
less value to himself and to the
community"
Continuing, 1t said:
"Our present national defense
law established an economical and
democratic military policy consist
ent with our national traditions. 1t
provides for a small regular army
to be augmented by great citizen
forces in the event of emergency.
This is our traditional military
policy, But, whereas, in the past
these larger war forces have been
eXtemporized after tho occurrence
of an emergency, the new law
wisely provides the framework of
their organization shall be estab-
lished and developed in time of
peace, through tho voluntary serV-
ice of our patriotic young men.
The army, as defined by the new
law, comprises the regular army,
the national guard and the organ
lied reserves. Every patriotic citl-
zen should encourage the develop
ment of these forces, each within
its proper sphere"

There's no accounting for hui

on to tell of many instances. of

then sell it for what they could
get, of one old woman who de-
MED having a certain amount Of

sisted in her denial to the Army
man at Dallas, even though he had
been informed by Captain Shan
non.
He told of q man who had
been at a local hospital in the
charity ward for months with not
a thing wrong with him, feigning
illness, so that he wouldn't have
to get out. They got him out and
put him in 4 taxi with a ticket to
the place he came from. He
jumped out of the taxi with the
ticket, got away to Denver on
money of his own, where he tried
to get rebate on the charity
ticket. But they fooled him.
The sad, disconsolate down-and-
cutters who are saved from suicide
and despair and helped to become
good citizens by the Salvation
Army are never known of by the
community. But the Captain can
tell a dozen tales of just such
CASoS.

FIRE DAMAGES
FORWARD ENGINE
ROOM Of VESSEL
Steamer Buckeye State,
Which Was to Have
Sailed on Maiden Trip
Today, Must Be Repaired

Baltimore, Nd, June 12.-Crip-
pied by a fire caused by a flare
back in her forward engine room,
the new passenger steamship Buck
eye state, of the Matson Navigation
company, which sailed at dawn
today on her maiden trip to Cali
fornia, is lying four miles off An
napolis and will, officials said, re-
turn to Baltimore tomorrow for
repairs. There are 1876 passengers
aboard.
The engine room was flooded.
Naval academy fire tugs and a fire
boat gave assistance.
Officers of the ship deny rumors
that strikers were to blame for the
origin of the fire. They also de-
MED reports of second fire.
Extent of the damage will not be
known until tomorrow. The boat
was to have sailed May l, but had
been held up by the marine strike.
The fire came as the climax to
an exciting day in shipping cir
cles. Two big ocean steamers
the Buckeye State and the Western
Comet-were yesterday found 10
have been badly disabled, and the
damage was laid by shipping men
to strikers. The engine trouble on
Buckeye State prevented the steam
ship from sailing yesterday.

Vacation trips through the Sun
shine state, Seeing New Mexico
First" tours, using Albuquerque as
the starting point. are being per
sonally conducted by the newly
formed Hickey-Ferguson agency
There has long been need here
for such motor tours as this, and
it remained for two enterprising
women to go into the business
Albuquerque is the logical CEN
ter of many points of interest ana
these vacation tours have been
speedily planned with two ideas in
mind-to make it interesting and
worth while for tourists bound 70
and from California to stop off in
Albuquerque and see some Of the
many beautiful and interesting
sights New Mexico has to offer,
thus advertising the state as a va
cation place, and to give Alhuquer-
que people an opportunity to spend
their vacations pleasantly in their
own state instead of going away.
To Grand Canyon This Week.
For this week Grand Canyon
trip is planned. The party is to
start Wcdnoe'ay, will be gone
seven or c,~'t days, and will stop
at Acoma he Indian village built
,non - eek, will see the Enchant-
,aa, the Painted Desert, the
certified forest, and mile after
mile Of colorful and beautiful
scenery through the Zuni and
Navajo country. All Of which could
not be seen at all by the traveller
on the train. Two full days will
be spent on the Hopi reservation,
where the habits of an unusual
tribe may be observed.
Aside from this, frequent one
day trips are being arranged to
Laguna, Acoma, and the Enchant-
ed Mesa; weekend trips to the
Jemez and Ell Rito de Los Frijoles
I the home Of the ancient cliff dwell
ers; three day trips to Taos, to the
Mescalero reservation, little
known to Albuquerqueans); to
Cloudcroft, Zuni and the Navajo
country, and longer trips to Mesa

ELKS RIDE FROM
PHILADELPHIA TO
COAST IN TRUCK

From Philadelphia to Los An
geles in a Ford truck is the Jour-
ney which a trio of Philadelphia
Elks are making.
DIR. Reverend Thomas W. "a

arrived in Albuquerque on their
queer overland journey yesterday
afternoon. They are the advance
guard of Philadelphia Lodge
Number 2 of the B. p. O. ElkS.

in the antlered herd who Will fol-
low in a few weeks, also mead
in south" for the national con-
vention of the order.
Philadelphia, let it be under
stood, is going to make some
noise in the annual convention
In all, 5O7 people from the qua
ker city will be on hand to see
that things start humming and
stay at a proper speed. They WI!
travel through Albuquerque in
three special trains with two
bands.
Flks will cost a COol quarter OF
a million dollars. OF that sum,
the lodge will pay about $4,000.
This amount represents the cost
of sending the drill corps and
special features, also the trim
mings on the trip.
For instance, every special
from PHI alpha will carry a
movie-danp car, When dusk
sets in, tn Aovies will be start
ed, once he movie show is fin
ished, dancing will begin. Think
of doing he toddle on a west
bound limited with a jazz band
furnishing music, Philadelphia
Elks travel in style!
The sleeping cars will consist
of state rooms only. In addition
to the forty cars of state rooms
there will be twenty extra cars
to carry baggage and permit
amusement.
The band members total 10
There are 104 in the drill corps
so in the mounted squad and p
in the auto squad. Last year AZ
Chicago, Philadelphia carried OH
all honors and is going to make
a serious effort to repeat.
DIR. Davis and his party left
Philadelphia the seventh of May
They were in La Junta Friday
night week ago, just before the
flood hit. Fortunately they left
that evening.
Enroute, they deliver mess
ages of introduction to state and
city officials and to lodge rulers
They met Walter NJ. Connell

TEMPTED TO TARRY IN
ALBUQUERQUE AND TAKE TRIPS;
SEE NEW MEXICO TOURS PLANNED

said Miss Ferguson, "is the system
bv which we save the travel all
responsibility. We charge o flat
rate for the trip and take care of
all expenses-hotel, meals, camp
ing accommodation as well as
transportation. We do not use
trains, SO we see all the interest
ing and picturesque places en-
route"
Because of this the trips promise
to be vastly popular. There will
be short trips to the pueblos Of
Isleta, San Felipe, Santo Domingo,
mountain places, and to the Won
derful New Mexican petrified forest
near Cerrillos, where there are also
extremely interesting Indian ruins,
but which are as yet practically
unknown.
Later in the season Miss Hickey
and Miss Ferguson plan trip to
the Chaco canyon, whose interest
ing ruins and recent excavations
have attracted the attention Of the
entire scientific world.
A Wonder Trip.
It Is planned to take in all the
Indian dances. Perhaps the most
wonderful Of these still eXtant is
the snake dance of the Hopi In
dams in Arizona, which will soon
probably be only a matter Of his
tory. The dance takes place about
August 20 and this year will be on
Walpi, the most beautiful Of the
three mesas occupied by the Hopi
Indians.
An eight-day trip through prac-
tically all shaded country, the Flute
dance, the antelope dance, the
snake dance and the sunrise race
make n trip the interest Of which Is
probably not surpassed in the whole
world Ten people have already
applied for this trip, and as the
number who can be taken on thr
tour is limited 1t would be well for
those who wish to go to make ap'
plication soon.
While these trips are planned
definitely and are to be taken wher
the Indian dances may be seen
Especial parties to any place within
the state can be planned at any
thine.
