8 PER CENT OF ARMY FLYERS
KILLED EACH YEAR

Eight army aviators out of every
100 were killed outright and two in
capacitated from further duty each
year during the period of 1919 to 1922,
according to statistics made public at
Mitchell Field, Army Air Service Base.
Practicing of "stunts" for combat
and pursuit training and hazardous
experiments in formation flying by the
army airmen were responsible for
many of the casualties. Commercial
aeronautics where only straight flying
was done was less hazardous. One
firm operating 27 airplanes carried
more than 5000 passengers $4,000
miles through the air without single
casualty, it was reported.

He Brought Peace and
Prosperity to Mexico

PRESIDENT OBJ REG oN--A
WORLD REFORMER. BY DIR.
]. Dillon. Boston: Small,
Maynard & Co.
THE author knows his subject
and presents his arguments in
convincing manner. DIR. Dillon
has enjoyed a long an extensive
friendship with President Aware
Obregon, and this feeling OF
friendship pervades the latest eff
fort of DR.. Dillon to give the true
story OF Mexico.
AS the title implies the sub
ject is President Obregon and
his efforts to improve the con-
dition of the people Of his coun-
try. 1t deals also with the at
titude OF the United States and
England in withholding recogni-
ton from the man, who, after See
ing his unfortunate country war
ridden and revolutionary-torn for
twelve years, has brought not
only order out of chaos, but in a
fair degree prosperity.
President Obregon's life is
traced from his birth in the
State of Sonora, where early in
life he was left an orphan; his
struggles as a ranchman, later fit
ting him as the foremost military
leader of Mexico and finally as
President of Mexico.
DR.. Dillon has gone into a
wealth of detail to. present issues
which tend to prove his conten-
ton that Oregon Is one of the
foremost reformers of the day.
From the book one will CLEAN
that Obregon is a reformer in the
truest sense, not in the fanatical.
His efforts are not directed from
fanatical zeal, but from the stand
point always as to what is best
for his countrymen.
The struggle to place Mexico
into position of prosperity after
years of exhaustion are wildly
told. Many of the problems fac
ing Obregon read like fiction and
would be so in any place but
Mexico. In this respect it is all
too true. That Obregon has sue
ceeded in his work no one may
deny. AS time draws the proper
perspective Alvaro Obregon will
go down in history as the fore.

Dillon.

BELIEVE IN GOD AND IN
Keen, NJ. d. Emeritus Professor
or Surgery. Jefferson Medical
College. Philadelphia. Gippin-
cott).
THIS volume is an enlargement
OF an address by DR.. Keen
which was widely quoted by The
press. The popular comment on
1t was so great and the author
received so many urgent requests
to put it in permanent form.
that he elaborated on his theme
and this brilliant book is the re-
suit.
ITO me and to many another
believer In Evolution the Bible is
the Book of Books. 1t is a pre-
cious book of Religion, but not a
textbook of Science" This quo
tation from the authors preface
gives the keynote of the volume
DR.. Keen's surgical operations
and experiments have enabled him
to substantiate, almost incontro-
vertibly, the facts of evolution.
On the other hand, his personal
faith in God and the Bible has
remained steadfast and unaltered,
because he has seen clearly the
underlying harmony of science
and the scriptures. The proofs
which he sets forth so convinc-
ingly are so self-evident that no
right thinking person can ignore
them.
The successive steps in DR..
Keen's argument show how un-
deniable is the truth of mans
relationship with the lower ami
mails, yet in the end how closely
linked are the tenets of Chris
tianity with those of Evolution.
From another pen, this would
be a remarkable work on the
question of evolution. but COM
ing as it does from a man of DR..
keen's standing, there is an added
significance that would otherwise
be lacking. He shows clearly the
distinction between Darwinism
and Evolution, and that they are
wholly independent of each other.

their grandmothers grew, forget

The only wise course is to

the light Is bound to be meager,
plant what will grow in meager

ROMANCE
"The Coast of Eden" a Simple
Tale, With a World old Mo-

THE COAST OF EDEN. BY
Robert l.. Duffus. New York:
The Macmillan Company.

TT il an age-old problem which
confronts Kenneth Ba1lan-
tine, the hero OF 1.-THE Coast
of Eden"-the choice between
the rosy mists of young love and
the stony facts of the pursuit of
a career. But it is q problem
which grows more acute with the
growing complexities of modern
life. And in the present case 1t
is sharpened by the ambition OF
his mother, q dominating per-
sonality, frustrated in the case
of the father and now centered in
her son.
Despite the knowledge deep In
his heart that Jean DUNCAN Is the
one woman in the world for him,
and that without her life will be
incomplete, Kenneth Ballantine al
lows circumstances to separate
them and goes to New York to
seek his fortune in the office Of
an uncle. The rest of the story
deals with his search for happi-
ness and his continual frustra-
ton in spite Of material success.
It's simple tale. charmingly told,
lit by flashes Of humor and dignf-
fled by def character drawing.
The first part of the story, deal
ing with the boy and girl romance
OF Kenneth and Jean DUNCAN, has
an idyliic quality and the book
ends on a lyric note when the two
find each other after the lapse OF
years. There is more of realism
in the chapters devoted to Ken
neth's experiences in New York
and the establishment of his
marriage with Barbara Upton. But
the story deals with spiritual reac-
lions rather than with the physical
details upon which the so-calIed
realists love to dwell.
Although 1t is the central figure
OF the story which il drawn in
most careful detail. there Is per-
