AROK
a DAY
By BRUCE CATION

TINE never-ending conflict be-
i tween poor white trash" and
Negroes in the isolated backwoods
land of an American state pro-
vides the theme of Amber Satyr, .
by Roy Flanagan.
The central figure of this novel
is a Negro mana tawny giant OF
a man, who lives on the fringes of a
lonely swamp and works as farm
hand for a down-at- the heels white
man.
This employer is chronic invalid
and a chronic failure. inferior TO
the black man in every way but
the color of his skin. And his wife,
restless and highly-strung, finds her
husband a weakling, poor stick
of a man who hardly deserves COM
parison with his African servant.
So she becomes enamored of the
black man.
Discovering her attitude, the
frightened Negro runs away and
becomes a laborer in the state
capital; and while he is there he
joins with other swamp Negroes in
a queer racial equality fight--an
effort TO get the legislature to
recognize the swamp Negroes as In
dians instead of Negroes, so that
they will not need to observe Jim
Crow laws.
This effort fails. naturally
enough; and the luckless Negro is
decoyed back to his home by the
white woman's male relatives, who
have found out how she feels about
things, and is quietly killed.
All of this makes a story of I'M
relieved tragedy; but Mr.. Flanna-
gan has handled things competent
ly. and he keeps your attention to
the end. You'll find Amber
Satyr" interesting-and instructive.

Gray of New Haven, Conn, in a review
Of architectural and building progress
in New England during 1882.
Shortage Exists Now.
Were it not for the doubling up of
many families into one household, there
would be a marked shortage, but the
actual shortage will not appear as long
as the present financial strhgency lasts.
Again, when we consider the illegal
