THE VEGETABLES
THAT BLOOM IN
THE SPRING
Miss Freeman's Book, "The
Home Vegetable Garden"
Tells How, When, and
Where to Plant Them.
THE HOME VEGETABLE GAR
DEN. BY Ella M. Freeman.
New York: The Macmillan Com
pany, $1.75.

A LONG this time of the year
~ an occasional wind brings
"A promise of spring. The
sky is blue Of an early morning
and the world seems different. It
is time to think and plan for the
garden.
About this time of the year the
man Of the house is apt to bring
home a pamphlet wrapped in the
evening newspaper, and seeing the
family all engrossed in their af-
fairs will carefully begin to turn
it's gayly colored pages. Someone
notices the proceedings and the
secret is out-father is reading a
seed catalogue. One of those
decorative booklets with tomatoes
in vermillion red on one cover, an
ear of golden bantam corn with
the true Midas touch on the re-
verse, and in the center several
illustrations Of "our new sweet
pea in all the butterfly colors," or
"marigolds that grew in grand
mothers garden"
1.-THE Home Vegetable Garden"
by Miss Freeman, fulfilIs the de-
sire to hasten spring by planning
our gardens. It is pleasant little
book, just the kind to read one
chapter and then make dream gar
dens in the smoke Of the blazing
logs on the winter hearth. Not
only is 1t pleasant with pictures Of
bumblebees balancing their clumsy
bodies in the heart of big squash
blossom; and old-time roses and
"pineys," but 1t is a useful and
carefully planned guide in the art
of gardening.
The subject is treated in a thor.
oughgoing manner, beginning with
the laying out Of the plot, the
tools and supplies, and warnings
against insects and diseases, and
working up to detailed accounts
of the planting and cultivating Of
twenty or more vegetables. You
will learn that the Old Homestead
, is the most popular green snap
bean, that cauliflower, being an
educated cabbage, needs extra at
tention, and to insure fine pota-
toes they must be sprayed with
paris green and bordeaux mixture.
The book is written from per-
sonal experience, from one who
speaks from experience, for she
has worked garden. A readable
treatise and one of appealing as
well as helpful interest. The COM
plete and systematic index is Of
added value.

MORE ROMANCE
THAN HISTORY
IN THIS
"The Neutral Ground" Deals
With American Events in
the Days of Mad Anthem,
Wayne.
THE NEUTRAL GROUND. BY
Belle Wiley Cue. Boston: The
Stratford Company, $1.76.
ROMANTIC novel dealin,;

A ROMANTIC novel dealins;
A with American history a
- the time of the Revolu
ton, dedicated to Gen. Anthony
Wayne, is the plan Of the author,
but as far as the book itself goes,
the romance exceeds the history,
and both are treated in an unin-
teresting and most verbose style.
Like all period novels, the first
chapter has the hero silhouetted
against the sunset sky and the
summer night was softly de-
scending upon the hills that rose
in solemn majesty at some little
distance back from the banks of
the Hudson river" The hero, on
horseback, of course, leaves the
hill behind and rides toward a
mansion, whose lighted windows
extend a gracious welcome to
rider and horse. Riding up the
drive, he discerns nearby on a
voluminously in white. The ro-
nance is thus settled simply.
But not so history. In lengthy
paragraphs it winds it's most un-
interesting way among some
thirty chapters and leaves the
reader at all times in doubt as to
many facts, and enlarges others
that are so evident that the an
moving, accompanying descrip-
tons have no cause for their
being
The introduction comments on
the pleasing features of wander
ing with our brave forefathers in
imagination through the wilder
ness, all very nice and patriotic
and highly Endorsed by every 100
per cent American, but it is q
different matter to be compelled
to wander through wildernesses
of five and six syllable words,
full Of sound, but signifying little.
One critic evades the task of
criticizing the book by congratu-
lating the publishers on the neat
and charming appearance of the
volume. The book is, indeed, at
tractive in appearance. The
print is large and easy to read.

International Law
BY WashimgtOnian

DEMOCRACY'S INTE RNA-
TIONAL LAW. BY Jackson III.
Ralston. Washington: John
Byrne & Co. $3.50
THE main thesis of this book is
that international laws. par
ticularly so-called laws of war,
are not laws according to any
defensible definition. Yet there
is such a thing as true interna-
tional law, "the noblest branch
of legal science" Every man is
affected by this true international
law. In the first chapter the
author points out that this true
international law can be discov-
cred only as we recall the nature
of law, it's adjective and substan-
tive aspects, and square our con-
cepts accordingly.
AS applied to international law,
our international conduct is con-
trolled for the most part not by
real laws, but by mere rules
Of convenience, adjective laws.
There can be no real substantive
international laws except as they
command what is right and pro-
hibit what is wrong. There are
chapters dealing with interna-
tional sovereignty, "the meaning
of national interests" the limita-
tons of international courts, and
the principle of arbitration.
One chapter Is entitled Some
Supposed Just Causes of War"
another, Essentials Of Peace and
War"

HISTORY OF AMERICAN RED

ent, Elizabeth g. Fox Anna r.
Van Meter. New York: Mac
milan.
MORE than half Of this thick
volume is given over to the
account Of American Red CroAs
experiences in the world war.
This is an intensely interesting
story, and the Red Cross edi-
torial committee has included
within the scope of the work
the beginnings and early
growth of the organization in
this country, and has devoted
several chapters to Red Cross
work since the war-international
nursing education, public health
nursing, class instruction for
women and the dietitian service.
This is by far the. most compre-
hensive work in it's field, and is
the only official history.

Forsaking the Butterflies,

Richard lie Caffeine AS
sails the RedoubtabIe Theo-
dore's 'Book About Myself"
By AMES KENDRICK.

IVY e have no quarrel with
" the irritable race Of
w poets. Without poets
there would. of course, be
fewer poems, and the latter
have their uses. The monthly
magazines would, we think, find
1t inconvenient to space out their
pages without those neat little
stanzas which look so nice as tail
pieces, but which few read and
fewer understand. A book of
poetry-thank God, usually thin
volume-makes valuable justtfier
to a shelf Of regular books. 1t
can be used under the leg Of a
table to bring it to level, and
IL handy to replace a broken
window pane. The poetic form,
from most modern specimens,
seems to lend itself as a means
OF expression to those who can
not make themselves ineligible
TN prose.
But the lanbasters Of the Tyre,
the filters of the lyric. the hapless
wretches who affront us with the
new art verse, should confine them
selves to stringing their amber
beads Of poesy. So long as they
are content with butterflies, green
fields with daisies pied, fairies and
such flapdoodle, we feel they are
entitled to the protection OF the
Constitution, the tariff, and the
Mann act.
We have, in the days Of our In
nocence, written poetry. We have
probably read more OF 1t than is
the lot Of few who are as yet I'M
caressed by the strait-jacket Of the
asylum keeper. But the next time
we find on our desk volume dedi-

Is going to meet terrible fate,
and all because. Of the attack Of
Richard LIE Gallienne upon Theo-
dore Dresser, in the February
International Book Review.
This book Of Dreiser's, "a Book
About Myself" is one which we
took great pleasure in reading.
We have long worshiped at the
shrine of this nan Dresser. We
would rather have written Jennie
Gerhardt" than to have been the
author of a mile and a half Of the
smoothest rhymes that ever flow
ed from the pen of poet this side
Of Swinburne. There are other folk
we know who prefer 1.-THE Titan"
or "The Genius" and some people
Of good taste have spoken well Of
"Sister Carrie" But so far, no one
has ever fixed us with his glance
while he assailed our shell-like
ear with praise of the poetry Of
lie Gallienne. Such, alas, is the
perversity of human nature.

clusively concerned with Dreiser's

err. No mention els made Of his
novels. But to one familiar with
his books, it is easy to perceive
that his youthful adventures as
police reporter in Chicago, Pitts
burgh and st. Louis furnished him
with the material for the powerful
novels Of his later years.
OF course, conditions in the
newspaper world have changed
for the better since Dresser broke
in on a struggling daily in Chicago.
City editors are a bit more human
now, and the pay is better. But
reporters, and especially police re-
porters, are still apt to be cyni-
cal and disillusioned lot. Should they
write their experiences accurate
ly and honestly it is safe bet the
drab and sordid would predominant.
Only poets find the rose ever
blooming on the ash heap; none
save Pollyannas find good in ev-
erything; and the uplifters and
right thinkers who MARBLE of the
virtues Of poverty still believe in
Santa Claus and prohibition.
