THE NEW BOOKS
''The Flaming Jewel"

The Flaming Jewel by Robert "
Chambers shows all the earmarks Of hav
ing been written for the movies" There
is no mistaking that it is thriller. How
could it be less with five murders in il
and the sixth man, the villain dies very
conveniently by the hand Of Fate.
Which reminds us that the three ladies
Tor gentlemen as the case may be) Fate
Chance and Destiny stalk all over the
pages several times.
This is story Of the Esthonian royal
jewels that come in sets: triplets as it
were, for two sets Of these Jewels are
paste. An international thief robs them.
an American thief robs them in turn and
then it is one round Of robberies after
another; sort Of button. button, who's S
got the button" game.
Then, to make it hard we have two sets
Of hero and heroine. One set is VEN
turesome millionaire and Countess, and
the other set is comprised of a state
trooper and the step daughter Of crook,
Rated according to twists. this is some
story for it is a twister. OF course we
know it will all come out well in the end.
yet for the credulous soul there are
enough tense moments and tableaus to
satisfy the most exacting taste.
Everybody loves strife in a good novel
but it is overriding the matter a little when
the hero kills one of the bad men just
so that another bad man might not have
the pleasure. We love the extraordinary
but it is going beyond the novel when a
butcher will dismember a man to get at
a jewel which has been shot into the body.
Frankly speaking. there is little doubt
that the author is either losing his skill or
that he is sacrificing good bits Of creative
work for quantity-and the movies. The
first few novels Of Robert W. Chambers
still stand by themselves.
Belly" and '.gufs" are probably le-
gitimate parts Of the human anatomy bur
their synonyms might be used to advan-
tage in this book.
II mechanical twists,racy episodes and
mans man" stuff with a Canadian
woods setting might have been in any
woods for that matieD comprises the nee
essary elements Of a novel-Robert W.
Chambers has written-another one.

tirely Of men who sit behind Aa.-topped
desks and direct the des,inies Of large
corporations. There are not enough
large corporations TO go around. But the
business executive Of this type has les
son for the average citizen. He seeming
ly has time for eyerything-io see peo-
pie with whom he has business Of any i'm
poriance at all, TO play golf, TO take long
vacations, and to do many things that his
buster fellow countrmen who accom-
r,ish much less haven't time for"
And his secret and his lesson is sys-
TEN. The successful executive delegates
authority and duties to his subordinates,
but yet retains a controlling hand; and
by refusing to permit trivial matters,
which should be quickly disposed Of or
turned over to a subordinate, to monopc-
lie his time, he has hours available for
recreation, pleasure, and other affairs
which the busy" man cannot even con-
slider.

The Cost of Fire.

From the Kansas City Journal.
What fire costs the people Of the
United States is shown in a statistical
statement recently compiled by W. E.
Mallalieu, president Of the National Fire
Protective association, which presents the
results Of his investigation in such an
impressive way that the average man or
woman can readily understand.
He finds that this country lost in 1920
and 1921 not less than one billion dol
lars worth Of property through fire, mstt
Of which could easily have been prevent.

That amount, Mr.. Mallalieu points out.
is equivalent to the earnings of 1000
men working 666, 1000 hours at sI.5O per
hour; or, put in a still more impressive
way. he shows that on the basis of an
ordinary working week of 48 hours. il
would take 1000 men no less than 2O7
years to earn as much as fire destroyed
in two years"
But deplorable as may be our ma.
tional property loss from fire, it is of
minor significance by comparison with
the human wastage we suffer from that
cause; for. as this authority shows. dur.

& A Child's Ills Fascinating.

4 - n SHilu HIS ESTIMATING.
BY Doctor in the London Mail.
To the lover Of children, their manage
ment during sickness is full Of fsscina
tion, not the least element in which j.
the infinite variety and puzzling natur,
Of many Of their complaints.
A large proportion Of a family doctor
time is occupied with Juvenile patients
and many a riddle must he find an an
swer to in his daily work.
The recuperative power of the sick
child is wonderful. and the treatment in
most cases is simple enough, for Nature,
with little human assistance can, in
deed work miracles.
The chief difficulty lies in diagnosis
and the interpreting Of symptoms. A
symptom-convulsions, for example
which in an adult might well indicate a
mortal disease, means, as likely as not,
in a baby merely that the diet requires
some modification.
Rashes, again, furnish many trap for
the unwary, for any trifling disturbance
in child may give rise to a rash, closely
mimicking anything from smallpox to
spotted fever.
Here is a case in point. A small boy
was suddenly taken i'll with scarlet fe-
yer with typical rash. By next morning.
under simple treatment, all signs had
disappeared, and judicious inquiry elicit
ed that the patient, while playing in
the garden, had sought to assuage the
pangs Of hunger with what he took to be
an onion, but it was, in fact, a hyacinth
bulb!
The mother Of a family wisely relies
for guidance on the clinical thermometer,
but its readings are liable to be mislead-
ing.
An attack Of temper may result in a
degree Of fever which, in an adult, might
give cause for alarm.
II is not only medical cases that call
for vigilance, although naturally they are
in the majority. Appendicitis in a child
of five or six has terrible possibilities,
and operation within a few hours is the
only safe treatment. ~
Yet appendicitis, in its most charac-
teristic form, can be very closely initiated
by a slight congestion of the right lung.
the result of a chill.
In one case, immediate operation is
urgently required; in the other, operation
will not only be unnecessary and useless,
but also the anaesthetic will surely make
the lung condition worse.
Such problems face the family doctor
every day. and upon his sasacity may
hang the whole future happiness of the
family.
Do not wonder if his hair is grey. for
this is the kind of thing which makes il
50. He is only human, and many an un.
suspected worry comes his way.

Suing of Unions Not New.

From The Nations Business.
Stability Of unions, as pronounced by
the Supreme Court recently, continues to
be a seven-day wonder in the eyes OF
some people. A little thumbing Of the
leaves Of the publications OF the Depart
ment Of Labor might assist such persons
to. reduce the extent Of their wonder.
There they will find record Of New
York case. not yet year old, in which
employees went into the courts and got
an injunction against the association Of
their employers. They will also observe
the recent case in Illinois which was sig
nificantly entitled Carpenters Union v.
Citizens Committee to Enforce the Lam
dis Award'-and il seems that in the
case nobody suggested that neither side
was "suable.
Anyone really searching for cases in
which labor unions have sued, or been
sued, will not have far to look, and will
find many titles Of cases possessed Of
significance. For example, there are
Nederlandsch Maatschappij v. Stevedores
and Longshoremen's Benevolent Society
ct al. lin which steamship company
was awarded damages and costs against
unions which had failed to meet the OBJ
legations they had assumed, and Powers
v. Journeymen Bricklayers Tin which a
union that had local monopoly Of work.
men was held liable for the difference
in wages between the rate the complain
ing employer had to pay and the rate
granted by the union TO another employ
er)
As long ago as 1907 the American Fed
rration of Labor, describing itself as
voluntary association. asked that it be
recognized. by the Supreme Court Of the
United States as having the qualities
which give standing in courts. The Fed
ration then received from the Supreme
Court the recognition it asked.

An Effective Method.

From the Phlddeiphic Public Ledger.
The running Of automobiles at the
speed Of railway train continues, not
withstanding the laws, and will continue
TO run as long as motors are made that
will speed as fast as an express train.
The railway train runs on private right
Of way, while any one can get license
to run a car that will travel faster than
a train on public thoroughfares, and in
many cases the operator is obscssed with
the speed mania.
My thought is that some Legislation
should be enacied whereby no motor car
can be made or sold that will run faster
than twenty miles an hour; and no one
shall be licensed to run a car without
the qualifications Of a standard that will
insure safety. This law not TO apply in
the case Of fire, police or hospital ap-
paratus. This, TO my mind, will reduce
accidents and give the police big ad-
vantage in chasing bandits. Any one Of
sane mind using a car for pleasure or
business need not, nor will they want to
travel faster than twenty miles an hour.
