Mr.. Central Still
Wins Acquittal
OF Liquor Charge

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
DANvTILE, Va, November 15.-
Central Still was tried in the Cor
poration Court yesterday on charge
of violating the prohibition law, but
after the evidence was heard he was
acquitted. The curious coincidence
of the name and the nature of the
charge is paralleled by his telephone
difficulties. When his telephone
rings he says, This is Central"
But I don't want central" most
of the callers say, and often it re-
quires some time for Still to con-
vince the caller that he Is Central
and not central.

BY EDNA LEVEY

Without doubt, the most remark
able feature of the year in the
literary world has been the amazing
preponderance of good war books,
and the avidity with which the pub
lie has received them. 1t seems
that only now. sixteen years after
the general upheaval, are we ready
to look Squarely at the high-preSsure
psychology of men at war.
The best German point OF view
is exemplif1ed by Remarque's "All
Quiet on the Western Front" the
best English war book is Blunden's
"UndertoneS of War" and the best
book anywhere is Hemingway'S "a
Farewell to Arms"
There has been an ever-increasing
interest in simply written scientific
books like Sir James Jeans 1.-THE
Universe About U.s." and A. S. Ed
dington's 1.-The Nature Of the Ply
steal World" with its amazing last
chapter on Science and Mysticism, +"
in which the question is considered
as to who is nearer reality, the
physicist or the poet?
What books will continue their
triumphal march into 1890? Which
ones will continue to be the vortex
of provocative discussion? I will

TRUCKMAN FINDS COUGH
Relief ON CAR RIDE


Mr.. Louis F. Braun of 70 E. Nc
Micken Ave-, Cincinnati, spends
most of his time on q truck-and
he doesn't find it all easy riding.
There are lots of hours and days
he must spend in the cold and wet.
One day he had a very bad cough
when he happened to ride on a
street car. There he saw a REM
card, and decided to give it a
chance to prove its worth. Mr..
Braun found that ''REM was just
what it claimed to be, for it re-
ieved my cough very quickly"
Mr.. Braun's bottle is only one of
the 10 million bottles of REM
that have been sold under an abso-
lutte ''money-back" guarantee. Yet
not one customer in a thou
sand ever wanted it backl There's

In the World of Books

( change four-Lippmann's "a pref
ace to Morals" Dakin's life of
Mrs. Eddy" Hemingway's "a Fare
we'll to Arms and Richard Hughes
1.-THE Innocent Voyage"
1t is a thrilling time for readers
the world over. Books are as i'm
portant today as diets, divorces, or
Dadaists. But not quite so impor-
tant as football That contingency
would approach the millennium.
Is there, perhaps, a glorious time
coming when a man will buy book
as casually as a cigarette? When a
publisher could advertise BE non
chalant Buy Dorothy Parker
Enough Rope" Or Walk a Mile
for "A Preface to Morals It Salts
fies."
Let me consider Phyllis Bottome's
new novel, "Windlestraws," an Eng
lish story of the hard-nving, hard
riding, hard-bolled horsey set. 1t
has come over -olared by the blur
ber'S trumpet. Though one knows
of old the eminently satisfying skill
of the author in handling her ma
terial, yet this story of a hard and
lovely peeress pulling the strings
that jerk her husband, her lover and
the other woman, strikes one as a
fiat, stale, and improbable note.
Will publishers blurbs ever really
mean anything?
Ernest Dimnet, author of 1.-THE
Art of Thinking" now in its
umpty- umph thousands, rebukes
gently but firmly the levity of both
John Cowper Powys and Bertrand
Russell in their recent debate in
New York City on the subject,
Modern Marriage"
Able Dinnet, it seems, went for
quiet little evening of serious
thinking and was rebuffed by a
light and happy banter"
In the interests of American cul-
ture," grieves Able Dimnet, such a
way of approaching a great moral
question should be discouraged"
Thank heaven, say we, that some
body can take modern marriage as
a jest. We are bored to extinction
with the way practically everybody
in the world is ponderously weigh
ing the question. A little humor in
jected into the situation might save
the day. More power, Powys and
Russell!
We have found the prize quota
ton for a library, suggested by no
less a person than the late prime
minister Of England. Stanley Bald
win. He says that the best inscrip-
ton for library wall is that chosen
by an eager young warrior for his
destroyer, ''UtSsveniant omnes," or
in English, Bring EN- on!"
