 JUNGLE PORTRAITS BY DELLA J. AKELEY. We learn much of the primitive peoples through books and even through our moving pictures. Those of you who have seen "Af- rica Speaks will find familiar ma terial in this book especially in the chapter on the pygmies. In these hectic days of industrialism it is a good thing to read of such far away scenes and peoples for it gives us a more balanced sense of world con ditions as a whole and acquaints us with many who live without any of the modern conveniences which we in the United States consider abso- lutely essential to our every day life. I was so interested in this book that I read it straight through at one sitting and I think many of you will do the same. It is fascin- ating to leave civilization behind and wander through these jungles, although perhaps like me you will prefer to take the experience through the reading of the book rathen than through an actual journey which the author, Mrs. Della J. Akeley, admits made her at times feel timid and alone.

Post cards cannot be used to col lect overdue accounts? Price lists with hand-written changes of in- dividual items must go first-class mail? Envelopes, cards, or folders less than PA inches by 4 inches are highly objectionable to the postal authorities? The sender's return addness should be placed on the upper left hand corner Of the envelope and not on the re- verse side? Not less than 8 h in ches clear space should be left for the address at the right side of the envelopes, folders and cards?

A thiru lot of books of the Inter- national Mind Alcove, given the WrangeIl Public Library by the Carnegie Endowment for Interna- tional Peace, was received this week. The books are being cared for at the Wrangell Steam Laundry until room can be made for them at the library and may be borrowed there. A re- view by Miss Amy Heminway, Di- vision Assistant, of three of the books received in the last shipment follows:
 THE GENIUS OF MEXICO; LEG TURES DELIVERED BEFORE THE FIFTH SEMINAR IN MEXICO, 1880 BY COMMITTEE ON CULTURAL RE- LATIONS WITH LATIN AMERICA. Many of you are familiar, through every day contact, with the Mexican as he is in your town. When I was speaking to audiences through the West this fall, it was not unusual for me to hear someone say, Don't speak on Mexico, We know all about the Mexicans from experience, we want to hear something new" But no one can ever know "all about" any one country or any one people and least of all is this possible through contact with foreigners in our own country. An excellent ap- proach to real knowledge of the Mexicans may be made through familiarity with this book. If you will read first of all the last few pages from 327 onward, you will surely turn back to the beginning and read the whole book through. I, myself, had the unusual opportun- ity of hearing these lectures as they were delivered in Mexico. Next best to hearing them is to read them as they are reproduced in this unique and attractive publication. There was a very limited edition and we were most fortunate to be able to secure sufficient copies to include one in each of the Interna- tional Mind Alcoves.
 HUMANITY UPRoOTED BY MAURICE HINDUS. This book has been declared by many reviewers the best one which has yet appeared on Russia. It is no longer impos- sible to ignore this vast country which is now called to oun atten- tion in the newspapers every day, and new information is being sought by a steadily increasing reading public. Almost all books dealing with the subject have been strongly prejudiced either for or against communistic developments present ing only one side of the picture. This book is an honest endeavor to show both sides. As Dr. Dewey says in his introduction, "To read these pages with sympathy is to
