MRS. RINEHART'S
new NOVEL GIVES
PLENTY OF THRILLS
MelOdrama Galore Found
In ''The Breaking
Point"
The Breaking Point" by Mary

The Breaking Point" by Mary
Roberts Rinehart CDoran).
Be careful not to open The
Breaking Point" before dinner. Far
the roast will cool. the gravy con-
geal. and the ice-cream will run
out of the icebox in pink rivulets
while the tyrant of the kitchen
threatens without avail at keeping
everything waiting.
Its a bang-up story. From the
opening chapter. the mystery is ex-
citing. The plot promptly begins
to thicken, or, according to airs.
Rinehart's prefence, the warp is
stretched and the weaving of the
complicated pattern promptly be-
gun.
All the elements in the classic
mellerdraymer are there: Beautiful
girl. handsome hero. SUSPECTED of
something dire and dark: lost iden-
tity the murder. the fortune. the
actress, the villain. the sleuth-re-
porter, and three grand chases
There is in addition a skillful COM
plication of ideas so that although
several good theories are never ad-
vanced at once. and although the
reader is never cheated out of the
circumstantisl evidence that the
hero is the criminal. he is never
for an instance permitted to lose
faith in the fundamental worth of
the hero.
Maybe the hero is just a little
too good. the heroine a little too
sweet and mild, and all the rest
OF the characters a little ton some
thing or other bIt they all have
a very human quality.
This control OF the humanness
OF her characters. even If they are
sometimes a little superlative, is
the element that raises this book
out of the usual run of mystery
stories. 1t lacks the whimsicality
that is wont to mark Mrs. Rine-
hart's most recent publications. but
it has real finish. and is a corking
good story from beginning to end.

HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, AUGUST es. 1922.


Kindly stars seem to rule today.
according to astrology. Venus. Ju-
piter and Mars are all in benefic
aspect.
1t is a sway that should encour-
age the most optimistic Views of
business and professional work of
every sort.
During this configuration there
should be a feeling of great conf
dence in the financial prospects for
the autumn, which should be. on
the whole quite favorable.
This is lucky day for all men
who use their brSins in vocations
requiring studious habits and keen
insight into human nature.
Judges and heads of universities
should be uespecially benefited at
this time.
Lovers should find all the vibra-
tions from the stars conducive to
lasting romance.
This is held to be fortunate
wedding day that promises har-
money and freedom from Quarreling
for the opening of new plays.
Actors and actresses are to find
conditions much better for their
profession next season.
Mars gives assurance that build
Ing operations will go on all
through the autumn and that rents
will fall appreciably.
while today's aspects seem to in
dlcate that more peaceful condi-
tions will come TO the world there
Is n sign read as presaging fame
for army officers who will win
honors from abroad as well as from
this country.
Hospitals and institutions for the
care of the sick will benefit by leg
acies through the next few months,
but there will be much illness.
Persons whose birthdate IL is
Is. will probably have much pleas
ure during the coming year. Many
new friends are indicated. An ac-
tive year with changes and finan-
cial gain is foreshadowed.
Children born on this day are
likely to be affectionate. clever and
artistic. Success is probable and
fame should come to these gifted
ones

Radio Fog-Signals
Sent Out to Ships
Lighthouse Service Gives
Schedule for Stations
Now Operating.

Stations for transmitting fog sig
nails now in commission are Am
brose Channel Light Vessel, Fire
Island Light Vessel. Sea Girt IN. J.)
Light Stations. and San Francisco
(Cal) Light Vessel. The three sta
tiohs first named were selected so
as to enable vessels approaching or
leaving New York to locate them
selves conveniently by cross bear
ings and to furnish convenient lead
ing marks to approach the harbor.
The stations are identified by the
characteristics of the signals. Thus,
Ambrose Channel sends one dash.
Fire Island group of two dashes.
Sea Girt a group Of three dashes and
San Francisco group OF two
dashes, with brief intervals between
the groups. The particular station
on which a radio bearing is being
taken in a fog is by this means
Just as definitely known as is the
light on which a sight bearing Is
taken by the navigator of ship
Identified by its color of flashes or
color.
The signals are operated contin-
uously during thick or foggy
weather, and also at the present
time they are sent each day from
9 to $50 a. m. and from 3 to $3.50
p. m, so as to permit any vessel
equipped with radio compass to try
out the method and apparatus in
clear weather. To avoid continuous
interference between the signals
themselves, they are sent on differ
ent time schedules. as follows: Am
brose sends for twenty seconds. ST.
lent twenty seconds: Fire Island
sends for twenty-five seconds, s!lens
twenty-five seconds; Sea Girt sends
for sixty seconds. silent six min
utes: and San Francisco sends for
thirty seconds, silent thirty seconds.
The signals are repeated rapidly.
Sea Girt, for example. sending over
forty groups of dashes a minute.
The transmitting apparatus now
in use Is a commercial panel type
transmitting set of simple and
rugged construction of about l-kll-
owatt power. In addition to this set
a special automatic motor-driyen
timing switch for producing the de-
sired signal at regular intervals Is
provided. The antennas of the
transmitting stations are the same
as used for ordinary communica-
tion. The wave length used at
present is 1000 meters. the present
international standard for such Sig
nails, and the range of usefulness
varies from thirty to 100 miles. de-
pending upon the sensitiveness of
the receiving apparatus.
A new light vessel soon to be
placed in commission on Diamond
Shoals will be provided with fog
signal apparatus, transmitting sig
nails of two dashes grouped. thirty
seconds on, thirty seconds silent.
The following-named stations are
expected to be placed in operation
about the first of next year: Nah
tucket (Mass.) Light Vessel, Bos-
ton (Mass.) Light Vessel. Cape
Charles (Va.) Light Vessel. Cape
Henry (Va.) Light Station at en-
trance of Chesapeake Bay. Swift

a LITTLE MORE by W. B. Max
well. CDodd. Mead q Coz \


Mr.. Maxwell has here devoted
himself 10 exhibiting the dangers
OF riches. The welbys are a COL
tented. middle-class English fam
lily who just manage to scrape
along. They have a rich old uncle
who comes TO live with them in his
last Illness and promises 90 leave
them his fortune. Instantly their
content is affected by the prospect
OF riches and they grow more and
more unhappy. When the money
finally comes to them. they prompt
ly begin to spend IL as becomes
the newly rich. and drop all their
old friends in the pursuit OF more
aristocratic and wealthy ones. But
the war suddenly puts a stop to
their mad scramble for pleasure.
and the rest OF the picture IS OF
their downfall. Mr. welby loses
everything. His son goes to war.
His daughters are forced into all
sorts OF methods OF earning a liv-
ing. Welby and his wife even fall 60
low as a poorhouse. But eventually
their children and their old servant,
Sarah. pull them out. and we leave
them. back IN their old home, and
gain contented. presumably wiser
for their experience. The story is
well told. full of detail and with
many Sghly human touches Aki
yet II is not strong for the simpse
reason that its moral is all too
plain. We do not mean that IL is
not real-for after all human be-
ings do behave much as the welbyf
did. But Mr.. Maxwell has been
shade too insistent upon his poin'.
thereby giving the tale the erec;
OF being made up for purposes %

"CROME YELLOW by Aldous
Huxley. George H. Doran
Company

Huxley. George H. Doran
Company
Aldous Huxley has been both con-
graduated and reviled for being a
representative OF British youth
Those who revile him say that he
is OVERRIDING the matter and that he
writes as If nothing but youth and
youths point of view existed. But
as for US, we join the congratu-
lators. For certainly he is doing
the only thing he can-writing Of
what he knows and what is in his
mipd-and the main point for con-
gratulation is that he does il so
well. far better than most of
the crowned champions of youth.
'Crome Yellow" is the story OF
very shy. eager young man at one
OF those remarkable house parties
that could take place nowhere eN-
cept in England. Mr.. Huxley sees
the affair from far enough in the
distance to project his characters
truly and in the light OF a pleasant
humor. and yet is near enough TO
them to see clearly into their minds,
and especially in the case OF Denis,
the youth. to deal with them inti-
mately. Denis Is one OF the best
examples Of a serious. self-conscious
young person that we have met in
a long time. He is a near relative,
apparently, Of Floyd Delrs Moon
Calf, and yet he is far more human
than the Moon Calf. simply because
he is less romantic. AS for the rest
Of the house party. they are all de-
licious. Mr.. Scogan is a frightful
bore and yet an amusing bore oe
cause Mr. Huxley knows how fun
nv he is. Mary. the young lady who
is determined to get married. should
amuse even young ladies in the
same state Of mind. And as for
Henry wImbush. who enjoys moth
ing but the past. the chapters ne
reads from his history Of his an
cestors will remain with us iong
time. But the hest thing about
Aldous Huxley is that he writes so
easily and so beautifully. He seems
to have accumulated more humor
than he had in Limbo" and "Leda.
and we suspect that this IL sign
that he is growing. At any rate
"Cronne Yellow" is a novel that
should be read. And in passing let
us remark that in tagging Mr.. Hux-
lev as young and modern we DO not
mean that he is obsessed with flap-
ners or with postwar psychology.
He IS FAR ahead Of that: he is OBJ
sessed- simply with life. which is a
sufficiently large obsession to keep
him occupied for some time.
