FUR TRADERS
Make Lively Yarn of Early Amer
lean Days.

"The Doom Trail" BY Arthur y. How
len Smith (Brentanos).
Here is a tale to keep the candle
burning until that witching hour
when Churchyards yawn and graves
give up their dead. 1t opens with
q bravo clash of arms in London
and closes with encircling lovers
arms in little old New York. And
every one of the three hundred odd
pages in between is packed with
thrills with romance, with dan
gers by land and sea, all against a
background of historical fact in
little known period of our nations
making.
The time is 1724-25. The place,
first England. then America. The
Hanoverian was on the throne in
London, but across the channel the
French court plotted with a Stuart
pretender as pawn in the game
for control of the new world. The
key to that control lay in the fur
trade, through which would be de-
termined whether French or Eng
lish would have the Indians as
their allies in the inevitable mill
tary conflict.
Harry Armerod, a disillusioned
Jacobite, with a price on his head
cuts his way to the very heart of
this conflict, through an accidental
bit of swOrdplay, and is sent to
America TO lead the fight there for
the English side.
THE Doom Trail is the wilder
ness road from the English settle
ments in New York to Canada, over
which treacherous but powerful in
terests are carrying on an Illicit
trade thai threatens the English
supremacy. Along this trail stalk
the Red Death and the Black Death
with the hideous tortures of the
False Faces for any who may be
captured there.
But here, too, by strange fate,
Is the Mistress Marjury. and so both
love and duty lead Harry Arme-
rods feet to seek this hidden and
deadly forest trail,
Who, with such material, could
not weave a tale of brave adven-
ture, of stirring conflict and high
romance? Such is 1.-THE Doom
Trail"-A book to satisfy in full the
lover of an adventurous story well
told. IN. P. D."

who's Who in America" (revsed
edition.. A. y. Marquis and Co. $3.50,
Perhaps the most Illuminating
book of the year is a little volume
called who's Who in America"
I believe that the authors inten-
tion was to go the author of "The
Mirrors of Washington several
points better; this, | am afraid, he
fails to do.
In the first place the gentleman
behind the Mirrors had an eye for
game; he picked only those who
would naturally be ripe for dis
cussion. The man who wrote
"Who's Who" on the other hand,
fills his collection of essays (most
of them are happily brieD with
discussions of all manner of dreary
bores. Ranging from nurserymen
and bishops to presidents and 9TH
er literary lights, he sketches their
histories in terse and unintelligi-
BILE English. Evidently he has lit
tie Imagination or originality. Not
one single line of personal matter
is to be found.
On page 3427, in discussing a
certain character, the author says
Reformed Oh. in America, 1890;
NJ. Bagdad, Arabia" This, 7 be-
lieve, is he most neatly written
passage in the whole book. On
pages PATS, 6S9 and AIT others oc-
cur, but really, 1 find no others
to compare with the sharp clever
ness of the quoted passage. Even
though such entertaining and
really revealing bits Of persiflage
are to be found occasionally
throughout the book, consider
the work as a whole is dull. uninter-
esting, and little worth the several
hours it takes to read it. Although
I staggered through to the end, |
was bored most Of the way.
Something about the manner OF
the book causes me to think that

ernment, Ford was a city plan en-
gineer in New York and was a con-
sultant on many of the new build
ing and zonng laws there and in
other cities. He was associated
with the commission on the city
plan Of New York. Besides aiding
in the rebuilding of Rheims he will
also direct work in Verdun, Lens.
Arras and other war-torn towns
and cities in France.
He said that recent surveys
showed that in fifty years Chicago
had wasted 500, 100000 on inn
provements that had to be remov-
ed or altered within a few years.
and that st, Louis and other grow
ing cities wasted much of their
Improvement money through lack
of intelligent city planning.
Some of the costly errors incl
dent to haphazard city growth, as
described by Ford, are railway sta
tions located in tumbledown neigh
borhoods, far from the center Of
the city; schools around which fac
tories have been allowed to en-
croach to such an extent that most
VI lilc ClllluleH traverse i've or SIX
blocks of streets congested with
heavy trucking, q constant menace
to their safety: parks which have
become similarly situated public
buildings separated from each
other by great distances, entailing
waste of time and inefficiency in
the transaction Of public business:
dwelling houses, comfort of which
has been lessened and value depre-
ciated by the erection of tall build
ings around them, and congested
traffic on one or two principal
streets, resulting in endless delays.
The ideal city. according to Ford,
will group its public buildings in
one spot. and this civic center will
be architectually planned so that
1t will be a thing Of pride to all it's
citizens, and an asset to the COM
munity; parks will be provided
within walking distance of all resi-
dental sections; the waterfronts
will be utilized as far as practic-
able for boulevards so that con-
gestion IS avoided; and the differ
ent types Of buildings, such as fac
tories. dwelling houses and apart
ments will be zoned so that the
rights Of all will be protected.

AUTO WRECKS AND THEIR CAUSE

No newspaper reader who follows the
shocking increase in automobile accidents
can escape the conviction that a very
large proportion is due to liquor in one
way or another. The liquor may be in the
driver or in the machine which is wreck
ed or the wrecked machine may be the
result of liquor in the car which did the
damage.
The accident may be a skid or a col
lision with post. 1t may be the result of
needless approach to a railroad or troll
ley crossing which ends in death or in
jury, but no matter what form the acci-
dent or casualty should take, the amaz-
ing thing is that liquor figures in such a
high proportion of cases.
Many times the newspapers at the mo-
ment fail to learn that booze has been
contributing factor in the smash-up, but
inquiry shows surprisingly large num-
Der of automobile misfortunes due to
drink.
To all motorists and to all pedestrians
who use the highways, this is a condition
that may well cause apprehension. In.
dustrial inefficiency, pauperism, crime,
are among the causes that prompted this
nation to establish prohibition. Reckless
autoists provide still another reason.

quantities OF IN
dividual success, but Intelligent
work" more aptly describes the
processes that bring upbuilding.
While it is ture that those who get
on best in the world are hard
workers, they do so because they
plan their work SO that every
moment will count for the most.
There are those who literally work
themselves to death, and yet ac-
complish but little in the way of
advancement.
Let us understand that it is
the part of thrift to do our work
intelligently. 1t is thrifty to study
each detail connected with our
daily duties and in this way find
out if we are wasting time and
energy.
No matter how menial our tasks,
we should not become mere
automatons. 1t should be our con-
slant endeavor to find means, if
possible, for doing our work more
efficiently. If it were not for the
fact that thoughtful men have
constantly sought to improve
methods of work we would not
have the marvellous gifts Of
science and invention that have
become necessities of our daily
lives.
Try to do your work better and
more efficiently. This is true
thrift. 1t will bring results in
your development and progress.
