PIRATES, MORALS,
IN Two new BOOKS
Macauley Company Publish
Widely Different Books

"Why We Misbehave." by Samuel
D. Schmalhauseh. published by the
Macauley company of New York
city, is a startling and instructive
addition to the comparatively few
treatises upon the sexual revolution
that is taking place in our world to-
day, one that is we'll worth reading
for those interested in humanity. its
faults and its virtues.
Samuel Schmalhausen, NJ. A.,
Phd, has had a brilliant career as
| a teacher, lecturer, author and
editor. He is now specializing in
psychological analysis and re-educa-
ton. being psychological constant
in the Mental Hygiene Clinic of the
| Workers Colony of New York and
special lecturer on psychology and
psychoanalysis at the Labor Temple
| Educational Center. New York City
| In his book he has made Use Of vast
| experience and tells his story inter-
| estngly.
DR.. Schmalhausen goes thoroughly
into the reasons for our changing
/ morals and new sex ethics, leading
up to an important query: Are we
developing an immoral younger
generation. His findings in sew
eral fields, the result OF his indi-
vdual research as a practising
psychoanalist. throw a light on the
psyche neuratic situation in our
colleges and offer actual information
10 parents and educators alike upon
this new question.
Why we misbehave is a book fol-
every thinking man and woman. a
powerful analysis that open minded
ly dissects our transformed atti-
tudes toward love. marriage and

time With so much machinery in
the business ii is amazing how
quickly the work is done. 1t is mass
production par excellence.
With all this machinery and speed
one would think prices would have
dropped compared with the old
methods OF course. we've never
heard of prices being reduced any
where else in spite of the use of
modern machinery. and neither has
the shoe man. Despite the fact that
it is possible to resole and reheel six
pairs Of shoes during the same time
the old cobhlers completed one pair,
the price of the job is much higher.
That's modern, too-modern econo-
mics.
The explanation. OF course, lies in
the increased price of everything
entering into the job. While ma
chinery has decreased the price OF
the work necessary, the price OF do
ing business, including labor and
supplies, have vastly increased. In
addition. everybody wea S rubber
heels nowadays, and these alone add
+ to the cost.
Thus we are confronted with the
modern phenomenon OF Increased
machinery and increased costs not
due to the machinery, but due to
other factors. One wonders WI
would have happened TO the snoe
repair industry had the machinery
not been invented. The costs would
have been even greater; perhaps so
/ high that it would be cheaper 10
! buy new shoes. This in return would
have resulted in a waste of leather
! of which there already is a scarcity
according to the leather dealers.
Thus the machinery has been q
force for conservation as well as
holding down costs. In addition
there is the vast business of manu-
featuring machinery, not to over
! look the industry OF making the
machinery that makes the shoe ma
chinery. All to make 1t easier TO re-
pair shoes. Guess We'll take more
! hikes for a change, or dance little
more. in order to help out the ma
chinery business.

UNCLE TOMS CABIN

The South, it is clear. does not in
tend to nut much stock in Uncle
Toms Cabin. even at this late day.
That wouldn't make an atom of diff
ference to anybody anywhere else.

the old Civil War story and play has
been screened. The moving picture
sachems see no necessity of avoiding
the South with the film. and that's
how the trouble starts.
People way Down South" as
elsewhere. don't care to believe what
they don't like to believe. Seriously
as Harriet Bccchcr Stoves classic
4 has been taken in the North. it never
was considered more important than
mere propa ganda in the South. The
hospitable southerners have been
telling the world that there were few
+ ill-treated Uncle Toms in the South
Why get excited over a myth they
have asked.
And they never have. The story
of slavery and the Civil War. as it
: is discussed in the South. differs in
some important respects from the
stories told in the North. But that
makes no particular difference In
our time. We can afford to weigh all
views and smile if necessary.
The filming of Uncle Toms
! Cabin and its threatened showing in
the South revives some of the old
talk Whereabouts about the truth
fu]noes of the entire story. The film
was booked for a showing at At
lanta and Immediately aroused such
furore that the mayor had to call
in the controversial leaders and ar
range a compromise showing OF the
film in the interest of law and order.
The theater management agreed TO
eliminate all objectionable
features and now everybody is salts

Is SALT YAND THRILLING
Pirates Old and New, by Joseph
Gollomb. also published by the
Macauley Co. yields wealth of
thrills for lovers of literature deal
ing with the sea and the buccaneers
which followed it from the time of
julius Caesar up to modern days.
Most OF us want treasure, pieces of

many OF us might undertake to get
them by such methods as the pirates
did if we dared. all of us like to
read OF the footing OF the treasures
and the men who stole them.
Joseph Gollomb has kept the ro-
nance of the colorful blackguards
who followed piracy at the same
time painting them. where they de-
served it, as the rascals they were.

1t is quite often the case that a

Girls and boys who work for

problems. Sometimes parents can

When they really need your ad.

known.
1t is very distressing to be set
aside by your children; but thrust
