rible punishment that is inflicted on
a President. He is constantly re-
minded of it wherever he goes"
Lawrence writes.
League Appeal
Lawrence gives the reader a close
up of some of the problems and con-
ditions which confronted President
Wilson when he went to Europe. 1t
is impossible to go into detail con-
cernIng this part of the book, but l
am sure that Lawrence has wisely
used the facts in presenting this
much discussed episode of the life of
Woodrow Wilson.
Lawrence handles President Will
sons appeal to the Nation for the
League of Nations as one who rode
on the train with the President. This
trip resulted in the physical collapse
of the President. Lawrence also gets
close to the mystery" at the White
House during the Presidents illness.
He also shows the political downfall
of Woodrow Wilson in its true light.
No writer has to praise Woodrow
Wilson. The value of books on his
life will be determined by how close
and observing the writer was during
the life OF President Wilson.
Here are a few opinions of Law
renee relative to President Wilson
which will live in my memory:
He president Wilson, sought no
aggrandized fame as he lived or he
would have compromised for imme'
diate advantage. He yearned only
for the patient, disinterested, impair
tial verdict of posterity.
Mistakes he made, the correction
of which might have lifted him to
a higher plane in the esteem Of the
men OF his times. But, at best, he
was human. He was weighed down
by problems whose right So
luton almost required superhuman
strength and judgment.
George Washington founded the
American republic; Abraham Lincoln
preserved the union and nodded the
several States into single
sovereignty. but Woodrow Wilson
contributed at the opportune
moment a leadership in war that
saved the whole world from military
autocracy and contributed. there
after, a code Of morality which some
day may save Christian civilization
from economic serfdom and the
savagery of organized murder"
Lawrence gives his readers the
tools by which Woodrow Wilson
may be justly weighed and ap-
preciated.

OF all the aerial artists with the
Ringing Brothers and Barnum &
Bailey circus of 1924 none perform
more hazardous feats than Lily
Leitzel.
Tiny of figure, with golden hair.
and dressed in the fluffiest of cos
tunes, she daily ascends to the
dome of the worlds biggest big
top" there to execute the most
intricate of gyrauons, including a
giant half flange."
This means that she literally
tosses her body over her own
shoulder often as many as 100
times while suspended in mid-air
The most dangerous part of Miss
LeitZeps act is accomplished when
there is no net beneath to break a
possible fall.
Those who have seen this re-
markable girl doubtless conclude
that she knows no fear. Yet she
never ascends to her lofty place
without a shudder. The reasons
for her discontinue are of two
kinds-spiders and grasshoppers.
Laugh If you WILL" says Miss
Leitzel, "but I must confess to an
absolute horror of the little beasts.
You see spiders and grasshoppers
are frequently carried skyward
when the tents are raised from the
ground, and just know that some
day one of the horrid things will
take a notion to light upon me
while am doing my act. And If
, 1t does, know I'll just die Of
fright

TILE Of 1.-The True Story of
II woodrow wilson is COM
manding enough to warrant
investigation.
Since the death of Woodrow Will
son there have been numerous at
tempts to explain" and to analyze
him.
To get at the inside of the interest
ing and dramatic life Of Woodrow
Wilson, one, 1 believe, must have
covered him from the position Of a
newspaperman.
That is exactly what David Law
renee did and so he feels perfectly
safe in writing THE True Story of
woodrow Wilson" I wrote to the
George H Doran Company, New
York asking them for a copy of the
Lawrence book. I felt at that time
Lawrence probably had written the
real account of Woodrow Wilson,
without emotional trimmings and
with knowledge of inside events.
Since reading The True Story of
Woodrow Wilson" I am more con-
NAACC0 lAAcil Law NAANS A-eA7 49,
true story of this man.
Up to the reading of this book 1
have been unable to answer the
ofte-repeated question, Where may
I get a look which tells of the real
Woodrow Wilson," Now, I can an
swer it-David Lawrence is the au-
thor.
Lawrence gives you the back
ground Of the events in the life Of
Wilson from the time Lawrence
knew him as a professor at Prince
ton. through the presidency Of that
/ university, then TO the Governors
s chair of the State of New Jersey
and then to the White House and
the trips to Europe at the close Of
the war.
The author is equipped by his own
experience and advantages of being
a newspaper man to know events
and their effects upon Woodrow
Wilson.
The book does not seek to make
a god out Of this man. The author
gives, 7 believe, the real inside story
and survey of the life Of the late
President. It is convincing and
gives one full understanding OF TIE
problems which Wilson faced as a
President and as a party leader.
Easily the best Of all books I have
read on Woodrow Wilson.
Still Unexplained
Woodrow Wilson died as he lived
unexplained and Inrevealed, q"
Lawrence writes at the beginning Of
his first chapter. ''None-not even
his intImates-ever knew the mental
process which crystallized his de-
cisions on policy or flung friends OF
a lifetime into the coldness of utter
detachment. Those who held office
under him lived in fear Of his dis
favor-they repressed their critic
isms. Those with whom he broke
were involuntarily prejudiced against
him-they were tempted to ex-
aggerate his defects and minimize
his virtues"
But Lawrence comes nearer giving
an explanation for Woodrow Wilson
as he functioned as president of this
country than any other writer. He
considers his subject as a man. He
has had avenues for observation
