BREATH OF LIFE BY Arthur Tuckerman.
e. p. Putnam's Sons
UNREST, a troubled uncertainty as to
what life is for, which is some
~ thing more than the normal dis
content of youth continues to find voice
in the more thoughtful and significant
fiction by young writers. This novel is
noteworthy example; good enough to be
ranked almost with the brilliant perform
ance of Stephen Vincent Benet and, in
some sense, a masculine counterpart TO
Dorothy Speare's Dancers in the Dark"
one could name a half dozen similarly in
spired books issued within the last year by
hitherto unknown youngsters. This one is
very good simply as a narrative, as it is
successful combination of the study of the
young men and women in ordinary society
with an interlude of high adventure which
wanders into the Caribbean and Latin
American revolution. And Mr.. Tucker
mans style is notably good.
The hero is a well-to-do young man,
entirely normal, intelligent and likable. But
he is unable to find himself in any OF
the ordinary jobs What you need" his
father tells him. rather grimly, ''is some
good hard work-li1e 1 had when / was
your age" to which Everett retorts: There
isn't any; at least not the kind I'm eligible
for The world doesn't even work like it
used to-" Later, talking 10 the girl he
makes summary worth quoting: We've
been brought up soaked in traditions and
conventions, and all of sudden We've dis
covered that we can discard them without
doing ourselves the least harm-and then
we're not happy till We have discarded
them" Naturally the book comes to no
very dogmatic conclusion, but one feels
that somehow these valiant young folks
will work out a sound solution for their

THE VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS. By
Richard Blaker. George H. Doran Com
pany.
HHARLES PETRIE, musical genius,
lives his own life apart from his un-
- congenial family and the surround
ings in which his failure as a musician
his aims and ideals in Cynthia, one of his
daughters, and frees her to some extent
from her environment. He is able to make
a career for himself, only to be frustrated
in his ambitions. Eventually Petrie tri-
umphs over the circumstances which have
contrived to thwart him.
Mr.. Bakers handling of this theme is
excellent. Charles Petries mental attitude
and the matters in which his temperament
can admit no compromise are shown
clearly. Over against Petrie stands his
wife weak domestic parasite in her hus-
bands eyes. AS Mrs. Petrie sees herself
she is a wife trying to do her duty toward
her husband and children. Conflict is in
evitable between two such persons. 1t cul-
inmates in brutal, well handled scene in
which Petrie wins his daughters freedom
to study music.
Mr.. Bakers minor characters stand out
clear from their background Definite per-
sonalities to the reader are Petrie's chill
dren-Sylvia, with her utterly bourgeois
personality and ambitions; Cynthia, whose
flair for music and freedom struggle con-
stantly against her conventional upbring-
ing; pert Freda and Conrad, with his at
tractive humor and mechanical turn of
mind. Clear cut above them all is Petrie
a distinctive, convincing study of genius.
Single minded ruthless at the demand of
his convictions. rather charming and whim-
sical at times, absorbed and faithful to his
belief in life's true values, Petrie is an in
teresting figure. In the pages of "The
Voice in the Wilderness" is shown the con.

TRILBY MAY CRASHES IN. By SeweIl

TRILBY MAY CRASHES IN BY Sewell
Ford. Harper x Brothers.
"RILBY MAY is the girl Mr. Sewell
Ford invented to follow, along with
Miss Inez Petersen, in the wake of
Shorty" McCabe. One book about the
pair has already appeared. "Trilby May
Crashes In." as its title subtly intimates,
is another. The action of the new book,
in so far as there is any action. hovers
around Greenwich Village and little thea
ters and stage doors. But no one should
jump to the conclusion, on this account,
that the action bears any relation to life
as it is in these environs. 1t does not
Mr.. Ford's manner is. as the prince so
celebratedly remarked of the back slap
per's. familiar. Long ago, when the use
of slang was in the first heyday of its
vogue, he adopted it. Many things have
happened since then and many changes
besides those in the length of skirts taken
place in the world but Mr.. Ford has not
changed with them. He has stuck to his
formula, and now, formulas sometimes
will. it is beginning to wear little thin.
In the present volume this scrawniness is
constantly apparent. 1t is not, this slang
that he uses, enlivened by any of the Gar
gantuan invention which frequently makes
the locutions of such writers as, say
Bugs" Baer. SO diverting, nor is it in
formed by any of the shrewd character
drawing and observation which Mr.. Ring
Lardner can impart to this medium. 1t IS
fiat, unimaginative, vulgar without being
funny. And since slang is primarily the
thing upon which the book depends for its
effect. this flaw comes perilously near to
being fatal
However, there are many people who
can still read Mr.. Ford with enjoyment
and there seems no reason why these
should not read "Trilby May Crashes In"
if they feel that way about it. They will
find just about everything they have found
heretofore in this writer's work-diluted
to be sure, but there none the less

THE RETURN OF BLUE PETE. BY Luke
Allan. George H. Doran compan~.
IF book has a glazed jacket whereon
stealthy looking person with knife
at his belt and stiff-necked pony
behind him peers round a clump of trees
at the far off, silhouetted figure of a
Northwestern Mounted Policeman, and if
above that appears the title, The Return
of Blue Pete" in neat hand lettering-well,
yau have fairly reliable gage as to what
to expect.
In this volume you get it-approximate-
ly. The quieter chapters are the ones in
which gun play is temporarily discarded
for the more intimate contact of knives.
The bohunks are responsible for the in
PRODUCTION Of the latter weapons. This is
one way in which you can tell the bad
characters from the good. A bad man
stabs, but good, kind hearted and upright
man always shoots. Usually he shoots on
sight, whether he knows the person aimed
at or not
The thing round which all the shooting
revolves is a trestle. Big Jim Terrence is
trying to build it, All the bohunks who
are working for him are members of the
I. w. w, and they really don't want to
have the trestle built at ALL This results
in complications. mostly at night. But
luckily Blue Pete returns. The thing that
he returns for is a little flyer in horse
stealing. OF course what he really wants
to do is restore the horses to their right
full owners; but good many shots have
to be fired before this becomes clearly
understood by all concerned. 1t finally is
understood. though, and the bohunks are
routed, and that trestle gets built despite
everything. The moral appears to be That
all things come to him who shoots first.

SEES GOOD YEAR
FOR j. s. FARMERS
Wallace Says 1922 Win Reward
TiIIers of Soil.
SHORT CROPS; HIGH PRICES
Credit Conditions Are Better, interest
Rates Are Softenine and Cost of
Production Less, Declares the
Secretary of Agriculture.

Washington, Jan. 3.-SherteY crops
and higher prices are among the signs
cited by Secretary of Agriculture Wal
Lace as indicating that the coming
year should be better one for the
farmer and for those who deal with
him than was 1921.
Credit conditions" the secretary
said, 'are better both through regular
channels and through the special
agencies created to meet the farmers
needs. Interest rates also are soften.
ing.
reductions already made in freight
rates on farm products tighten by that
much the transportation burden which
the farmer has been carrying.
Cost of Producing Less.
"Cost of producing farm crops will
be lower relatively in 1922 than in
1921. Very likely there will be re-
ducfion in the acreage of some of the
grains of which we now have such
large surplus, and this should tend
toward better prices.
'"The paralyzing effect of the sud
den drop in prices last year is wearing
off and farmers will enter the new
year more hopefully, believing that
the worst is over.
Congress has Indicated a willing
ness to enact such legislation as prom
Uses to be helpful
Department Will Help.
Farmers are coming to see more
clearly that the task of putting farm
ing on sound business basis is really
up to them and that through organ
ization they can reduce marketing
costs. In this they will have increas
ing help from the department of agri-
culture and the various state agricul-
tural colleges which now understand
they must give the farmers the same
sort of help in marketing that they
have given him In production.
Everything considered, therefore,
we can enter the new year in spirit
of hopefulness and good cheer. | see
nothing which indicates boom times
for the farmer in the near future, but
there does seem to be promise of bet
ter times both for the farmer and
those whose business is largely de
pendent upon him."
