literary editor OF the Boston Herald,
closed his series Of three lectures on
recent publications. Mr.. Minot's
theme on this occasion was, Recent
Important Books in the Field of Nom
Fiction. That we cannot get away
from the modern tendencies while
discussing non-fiction was a. point
made in beginning by the lecturer,
who said that the first Of these
modern tendencies was the new
biography" Citing H. Gamaliel
Bradford's Darwin as an example of
this new biography at its best, Mr..
Minot based his contention on the
claim that the work seeks 60 make
Darwin a human being rather than
a monstrosity. Recent biographies of
Washington brought out by Rupert
Hughes and w. E. Wooiman were
given as types of new biography at
its worst. Horace fGreeley by Don
c. Seitzsas spectacular portrait Of
the famous journalist, was mentioned
as a contribute ranking midway
between the two extremes and con-
tanning much that Is praiseworthy.
The speaker also commented upon
The Stor- Of Philosophy. by Will
Durant and Bruce Barton's two
books, The Man Nobody Knows and
The Book Nobody Knows, philosoph-
ical works. His mention of verse
included Amy Lowelrs East Wind,
a posthumous work, and Rachel
Lindsay's latest collection, together
with Sara Teasdaie's recent poems.

May Need Special
Plane For Tropics

Copenhagen, Dec. 4-fP)-A spe-
cial flying machine will have to be
devised for exploring wild tropical
countries, said Hans H. Hoyte, pilot
of Prof. Mathew Strings New
Guinea expedition, in an interview
published in the Java Bode of Ba-
tavia, on the eve of his sailing for
Europe.
Hoyte, Dane by birth, was on his
way to his family home at Lundby,
Denmark, but was stricken with ty-
phoid fever en- route and died at
Alexandria, Egypt. He had been em-
ployed for number of years with
the Jackey Aircraft Co. of Chicago.
Violent changes in climatic condi-
tons such as experienced in New
Guinea, Hoyte said, were fatal to any
ordinary plane, although his ma
chine had done great service on
thirty flights transporting men and
materials in sometimes very trying
circumstances. Finally, he had to
leave it behind at one of the bases,
with it's floats smashed.

THE RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH

However much we disagree with
another we should be like the French
sage, who would defend with his life
the right of his opponent to free
speech. That right was dearly
bought It should be cherished as q
priceless possession. We syppathize
heartily with impotence over parlor
bolshevism and slushy pacifism. We
think 1t easy to understand the Inn
pulse which prompts advice for ex-
ponents to go back and sit down. We
should regard as entirely excusable
getting up and leaving the audience
addressed by them. But would it not
be very short-sighted to try to stop
them? Experience shows that such a
course Is tndefensible in time of
peace.
We are reminded Of this by the
report Of an effort to bar Lucia Ames
Mead from addressing a southern
college. In this effort it appears an
| American Legion post was impli-
Gated. We wonder whether America
would have seemed as dear to the
boys over seas had they thought Of
it as country where ln peace times
free speech Is denied to American
citizens.
When this country had entered
upon war 1t was within its right to
shut off the flow of propaganda de-
signed to aid the enemy. Now that
we are at peace the only safe and
sane way is to keep the safety valves
well-oiled and let 'em blow. II so
the truth comes out. 1t Is proper to
permit 1t to be spoken in time Of
peace; If 1t isn't true 1t imposes an
obligation ON the opponents to state
their case. OF course it is annoying
to have to do this frequently be-
cause there are certain people getting
a living by going about spouting this
or that, which we may regard as
worse than nonsense If not positively
mischievous, but we should defend
their right to do so.
| We do not know what Mrs. Mead
would have said at that southern
college, but surely 1t could not be as
bad as to have the students Of that
institution conclude that any organ
ization or combination Of organiza-
lions may be permitted to determine
for them what they may and what
they may not hear, II 1t be spoken
in language within the requirements
Of decency.

It is a shame some on should spoil
The handiWork of honest toll.
For weeks and weeks the beaver clan
Had toiled the little brook to span.
With sticks and logs, and mud and
They'd stemmed the little rivers rush
To make a pond both broad and deep
deep
In which with safety they could keep.
Yes, indeed. Busy Beaver and his
family had spent many a long day
the swamp to the other they had
stretched line of logs and brush,
with stones to weight them down and
clods of earth to seal up the crevices.
Now. with the cold weather here and
the probability Of a freeze any mo-
ment, to have some enemy break a
great hole in the dam, was indeed dis
couraging. Not only discouraging, but
extremely dangerous. Deep water Is
absolutely necessary in order that the
ice may not form about the entrance
to their cabins. The little rabbit knew
this, for Busy Beaver had explained
many things to him, and so, as the
bunny boy hoped along, he kept
turning over in his mind why such an
accident should have happened. Dear
me. / wish / could find out who did
this wicked deed" he thought when,
all of sudden, Professor Jim Crow,
whom we left in the last story on his
way home to leave his Wisdom Book,
caught up with our little rabbit.
my goodness, you didn't slow up a
bit to let me catch up with you,

II knew you would soon catch me-"
laughed the little bunny. wings make

That's not hard to answer" cawed
the old crow. Most likely Mrs. Wild
cat. She is very fond Of Beaver meat.
Just like her to tear a hole In the
dam and then wait around for a
chance to snatch up a beaver"
Dear, DEAR" shivered the little
bunny, looking here and peering there,
with creepy little scare, Il hope Mrs.
Wildcat els not about. Mother warned
me to be careful"
"Snin the wind" advised the old
crow.
"Oh. I have" answered the little
rabbit. and again he twinkled his
pretty pink nose to catch the smell of
the wildcats fur overcoat. But. no,

himself how things were turning out.
OF course the first person he saw was
the bunny boy.
"I've had some job" said Busy
Beaver. Lucky for me the weather
has not been cold enough to freeze
whatever water was left in the pond.
But who damaged my dam is the
question. I'd like to find out. Now that
everything is ship-shape, 1 hope 1t
freezes tonight. That meddlesome
person might make another call, but
if the ice once forms good and thick,
l shant worry"
Look QUIT" the next minute shouted
Professor Jim Crow from a nearby
treetop. Into the water dived Busy
Beaver, striking 1t with his tail to
warn his family. before he disappeared
beneath the surface. The natural ref
uge for Busy Beaver was the pond. Be-
low the surface he was safe indeed
But, Oh dear me. The little rabbit was
not so quick. In fact, he didn't know
which way to jump. And in the next

after that.
