NEW YORK, June 17.-New
Workers are constant readers.
Always in their travels about
town they carry newspapers, maya
zines and books. occupying every
available moment.
The first thing in the morning, as
one rides downtown on the subway,
you see nearly every one with Il
newspaper. In the evening on the
return trip home, it is the same.
Those who have no paper read over
the shoulders of those who have.
During the hours of the day when
traffic is light, women and Girls
going on shopping tours read their
books as they ride.
Commuters, who often spend from
two to four hours each day on trains.
travelling to and from their homes
and offices, use the trains as a IL
brary.
Authors are peculiar persons.
Thoses used to the ways of New
York go to the country to do their
best work. Writers from "out there"
come to New York to write.
Peter 3. Kyne works most any
place, he tells me. I know that he
did a very famous short story in less
than day in a midtown apart
ment.
But when he writes his longer
stories he usually seeks the solace
of the country.

churning of the Ohio River in his ma

be a happy one.
But the State says there cannot
be a happy ending, and is going
ahead with plans to try the couple
in August.
However, on the chance that an
orphan asylum attendant twenty
years ago carelessly substituted one
baby for another, the couple hope
to prove that they are not brother
and sister
Their story, as unfolded in the
preliminary hearing in their case,
starts when Mrs. Miranda Hasc0m
Rollins, said to be their mother,
placed her two babies in the orphan
asylum at Franklin.
1t was not long before a baby
girl was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Dart of Newton. Soon after
that Charles Langley of Canada
adopted a baby boy. The State says
the two babies were the Rollins
children. The asylum records con
firm that.
But Louis and Elizabeth promise
that they can prove there was a
mistake made, that the little Rollins
girl and Althea Hazel Frawley, an
other orphan wait, were mixed up
in their cribs.

A passing motorist picked up a
farmer who had never before seen
an automobile. The farmer was
duly delighted. To impress him still
more, the motorist put his foot on
the aCCelerator and for six or seven
miles they tore along like the wind.
Then something went wrong with
the steering gear and they ran into
a tree. The farmer and motorist
alighted unhurt on a bank of moss.
The car was not damaged.

Points Way Out

The book is great in its illumina-
ton of the dark problem of agricul-
ture in the United States and it
points a way out, through practical
governmental methods. It proves
that closer settlements of farmers on
farms graded in size according TO
the fertility Of the soil and the avail
able markets under governmental
guidance and control as TO titles. or
ganization. credit and methods, Civ
ing a rich community life, offer the
only promising avenue of solving
the farming problem.

Australian governments in their
work. He put in effect the expert

colonies at Durham, Cal He knows
what will work and what will not.
He believes that such colonies under
