Burdick Writes
On Constitution
THE Law OF THE AMERICAN

THE LAW OF THE AMERICAN
CONSTITUTION. ITS ORIGIN
X. Burdick. professor of law.
Cornell University. g. p. Putnam's
Sons.
AS an ideal textbook on con-
stitutional law and an inter.
esting. readable work on the Con-
stitution Of the United States, few
books in recent years have ex-
ceeded the work of Prof. Burdick,
of Cornell. Most books of this
class are apt to be too wordy and
the reading interrupted by cita-
tions to footnotes, whereupon the
reader is forced to look down the
page to get the full meaning Of
the author. Prof. Burdick has
spared the reader this inconven-
ience and has put in just enough
footnotes to give the authenticity
to the work that all writers Of law
books deem a necessity. The two
Introductory chapters are by the
authors father, the late Prof.
Francis NJ. Burdick, who was
DWIGHT professor of law in Co
lumbia University.

United States. in the home of his
English relative. when he acci-
dentally reads the newspaper &C.
count. "Old to Be Made Young

The thrilling adventures of the
old men in the gorilla hunt-the
comedy that results when there
are not enough glands to go

II believe in God and in Evo.
luton" by w. w. Keen, M. ID.
UippincotU.
The outstanding features of this
book are sanity and clearness.
The truths stated are self-evident
and of character which no
thinking person can ignore. From
any pen this work would be a mas
terful exposition Of the question
of evolution, but coming as it does
from a man of DIR. Keen's stand
ing, there is added a significance
which would otherwise be lacking.
Moreover. he has taken big
step toward the linking of science
and Scriptures. so long consid-
cred by some Christian people as
utterly incompatible.
Much of the spirit animating
him to this end is expressed in
the dedication: ITO all sincere
seekers after truth: who revere the
Bible as the word of God: who
revere nature as the work of God;
and who believe that rightly in
terpreted they must surely agree"
DIR. Keen is himself a sincere be-
lever in both the theory of evo-
luton and in the Scriptures. and
very long life devoted especially
to scientific teaching and writing
has only strengthened his belief
in both.
In his book. he makes clear by
successive steps how undeniable
is the truth of mans ascent from
the lower animals. yet In the end
shows how closely linked are the
tenets of Christianity with those
of Darwin.

IN THE House OF Delusion"
Holland sustains his reputa.
ton as a writer Of vivid, creepy
stories that border on the old
detective thrillers that once kept
US from doing our chores when
We were youngsters. Melchior
Pryde. the wealthy uncle, returns
from a long residence in Italy to
the family home in Philadelphia,
to spend his remaining years
where he first saw the light of
day, and finds an interesting
group Of nephews and nieces to
welcome him. He has been there
only a short time, however, when
one Of the nephews is found mys-
teriously murdered in the library
Of the old family home. A short
time later another nephew is
murdered under the same circum-
stances. The chain of mysterious
events leads to a climax both
thrilling and unexpected. OF
course. the usual love story runs
through the tragedy.
ways. Here and there are scenes
and passages that are really first
class. Unfortunately. there are
many that are second class.
There is plenty of adventure of a
healthful nature. And, of course,
there are love scenes.
The book is worth reading. But
