 Her words have almost rasied an in terna1 war among women. Newspa- pers have been bombarded with in dfgnant protests and threats that Lady Ba1four must eat her words or be forever discredited among women.
 And, according to patent agents here, she is talking nonsense. George Rayner, famous London patent ex- pert. points out that Madame Curie discovered radium. An American woman first thought of the paper bag as long ago as 1871. A woman in vented the hump in the hairpin, which prevents it from falling out easily. A Miss Halle invented pa ppier-mache splints and other surgical appliances. A woman thought of the feeding bottle with thermometer inside it. Mrs. Wood, patentee of "Woodite," the preparation that pre- vented incrustation of sides and bot toms of ships, made a fortune out of it.

books in recent years have ex-
ceeded the work of Prof. Burdick,
of Cornell. Most books of this

the reading interrupted by cita.

reader Is forced to look down the
page to get the full meaning Of
the author. Prof. Burdick has
spared the reader this inconven.

footnotes to give the authenticity

IL believe in God and in Evo.
luton" by w. w. Keen, M. d.
Uippincotp,
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 a 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"
DR.. Keen is himself a sincere be-
lever in both the theory of evo-
luton and in the Scriptures, and a
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.

''Red Lock" Seems
Shallow Story

THE RED LOCK. BY David

IN writing this book it seems
to me the only object the
writer had in mind was to cover
paper.
The average reader will readily
perceive this. So ] predict 1t will
not become a best seller"
1t is a hollow piece of fiction.
And one reflects with regret that
the English language was en-
ployed to produce such nonsense.
The story concerns Indiana and
its primitive people. In brief, 1t
is a Hoosier tale, punctuated with
innumerable apostrophes to aid
tiresome dialect.

An anecdote Of Lillian Nordica's
debut at Brescia, a little town on
the route from Milan to Verona.
will suffice to give the reader of
this review a glimpse Of this de-
lightful book. We quote:
Her debut was made at
Brescia. There, a few nights
later, she sang Alice in Roberto
II Diavolo'. That performance
marked the first appearance Of a
little solo dancer in the elaborate
ballet. AS a wicked nun she had
to rise on a trap from her grave
at midnight and dance in the moon
lit graveyard. Greatly excited at
the thought Of ascending on the
trap, the little dancer stood shiver-
ing beneath the stage.
Beside her was her mother, a
weazened Italian, the inevitable
black shawl over her head. Under
one arm rested a long loaf of
bread. under the other a gorgan-
zola cheese.
Seeing her daughters fright she
jumped on the trap, exclaiming
Who's afraid In that instant
the trap shot upward and with it
the old woman, bread. cheese and
all. Her unexpected advent caused
the audience to gasp. then roar
with laughter. Even when, at last,
things were quieted. If someone
Uttered at the recollection. hilarity
burst forth again"

tary deportation of thousands will
prove costly to America; not mere.
ly from the selfish standpoint of

standpoint Of international peace
and mutual understanding.
For two and one-half years Mr..
Davis was in intimate contact with
soldiers and peasants in many
parts of Russia; and he found II
difficult to find peasant or soldier
who had been In America and was
still friendly to us. Instead, they
cursed us as nation of money.
getters and selfish capitalists. The
thousands Of disappointed and en-
Uttered Russians who have already
left our shores are doubtless now
acting in many cases as agents of
hatred, as they so through city,
town and village; they serve to
spread the gospel of enmity toward
America, and prejudice large num-
bers Of the people against our
nation.
The splendid work done by the
American Relief Administration is
helping to counteract this vicious
=. propaganda.
Doctor Davis certainly has made
an exhaustive study Of the Rus.
sian and Russian Slav. And the
vast number OF footnotes and ref
erences should be Of incalculable
value to the student OF sociology.
The facts are presented in an i'm
partial manner. But the authors
suggestions. based on a lifetime
study, will prove beneficial to those
interested In aiding immigrants.
The chapter on Labor Unions is
a really fine bit of writing. II
seems to me that corporations EN-.
ploying Russians in any great
number should study this section
earnestly. The statements are set
forth in a fair. logical way.
IL Is a matter Of regret that lin
tied space will not permit of re.

work here, and ! am sure the book
will be widely read.
