1.-THE Understanding Heart" Peter
B. Kyne's new novel, sweeping
drama of the Great California for

This man. Peter B. kyne is one OF
the few authors who succeed in In
creasing your sense of their down
right humsnness with every novel
they write In this respect his re-
markable new book, The Under
standing Heart" sweeps ahead of the
stories that have already made him
famous, and attains a new peak in his
career.
Kyne. has long been known as
genius at weaving refreshing tales
around happenings and characters
that run true to life. He is able to
mix business and litigation with his
romance as they are mixed in reality.
And now in THE Understanding
Heart" he has done it again. Only
more so.
It's a story of the glorious Cali

driven to the big trees to protect his
health. and of the amazing but al

which bring him in contact with a
dozen new lives and destinies.

NEEDED-A CHANCE TO WORK

A correspondent of the New York
World insists that "a very sig

wave, or criminal tendencies of GER
tain young men, lies in the attempt
Of unions toward the admission Of
apprentices. He writes that he re-
Gently found 1t impossible to get an
1s.year old youth admitted as an ap-
prentice to any Of the building
trades. Not only was the number
Of admissions limited but they were
limited to sons Of members.
It Is not difficult to understand
how such restrictions came about,
but that does not relieve the situa-
ton. The Government would have
a child labor law-so- called-re-
stricting the work Of any up to the
age Of eighteen and the unions
would limit the opportunities for the
youth to work after attaining that
age. All this in face of the ex-

as a poet who said: Get leave to

get at all"

KosciuszkO's Life
MemOrized by Poland

CracoW, Poldnd, Aug. 2I-F)-
Cracow is to the memory Of Tadeusz
Kosciuszko what Mount Vernon is to
the memory of George Washington.
One cannot walk far in this old city
of the Polish kings without coming
upon some reminder of the great
national hero whose name kindles
more enthusiasm both in America
and in Poland than that of any other
Pole.
Also Served America
Whether as colonel OF the artillery
and personal adjutant to George
Washington in the American War Of
Independence. or whether as leader
of the Polish instruction of 1894
against Russian oppression, he was
one of the most picturesque figures
of his time. Partisans Of Marshall
Pilsudslli today refer to the virtual
dictator of Poland as the second
kosciuszko," and the imagination Of
Polish school children is fired by
copius references in the textbooks
to the exploits Of Tadeusz Kos
ciuszko.
The mecca for the visitor to Cra-
COW is the Wawel. a rocky hill on
the left bank of the Vistula. 1t was
the fortified seat of the Polish dukes
and kings from the very dawn of
the nations history. 1t is thus, as
it were, the emblem Of the Polish
nation.
Buried With Kings
One of the proudest structures on
the Wawel is the cathedral In its
spacious Underground corridors there
is the Crypt &C st. Leonard, reserved
e Al i-l, u nc
and their families. The only non
royal national hero to be honored by
a burial place alongside of the kings
is kosciuszllo.
Every visitor to the cathedral in
spects the Treasury in the vestry.
AS the priest in charge exhibits and
explains the priceless bejewelled
chalices. royal crowns, chasubles, and
reliquaries, he pauses to point rever-
emily to an old ragged. weather.
beaten, faded, bullet-riddled flag and
says impressively:
This is the flag that Kosciuszko
carried during the American Revolu-
tionary War. America not only hon
ored our revered national hero dur
ing his lifetime by extending to him
the privilege of American citizen
ship, by settling a considerable an
nuaI pension with landed estates and
comforting the rank of Brigadier gen.
