EASI OF EDEN. BY lSa Glenn, authOr OF
Transport" etc, New York: Doubleday.
IT might equally as well have been north
! south or west of the garden. The point is
that this particular Eve missed her Eden en-
tirey. So did Adam.
In purpose and effect East of Eden" is
modern social drama set out in evidence that
genius and wedlock incompatible. To-
gether, genius is certain to defeat itself and
marriage Is as sure to miss the happiness for
which it is said to have been designed. The
great average and dull therefore, may marry
to their hearts content But to the gifted, this
social device is doom and evil destiny. Sketch
lily, this appears to be the thesis of the novel,
1t is developed by way of Nicholas Van
Suydam and Eva Litchfield. He an ambitious
young architect She, coming writer, or so
it looks. Married the girl, according to pro-
gram, has nothing to do to live up to the
family tradition laid down in Interchangeable
pattern, since the first tribe of old Manhattan
Van Suydams. Young Nick, being of the male
persuasion. could. of course, pursue his career.
Another element of danger is that this girl
is quite unbelievably beautiful An engross-
ing, an even consuming possession. that no
woman seems able to stand up under.
Here. in bulk, is the material out of which
Miss Glenn In waywise and workmanly fash
ion, selects and arranges and colorS the various
scenes that move forward like a trained COM
pany on the march. The background is literary
New York. The episodes to be real They
are certainly vivid and interesting. Each per-
sonality is of three dimensional effect. 1t walks
and talks and eats and sleeps. In the main,
these people attract attention and hold it by
some individuality of manner and thought. All
of them, consciously or not, are contributing to
the central theme that marriage is a failure
for this girl who sets her career" high above
the firing and distasteful demands of conjugal
partnership. Nothing fatally wrong about the
husband. But she has no use for husband.
He is in the way of work and has nothing to
offer even slightly compensatory for wasted
time. Innumerable scenes and episodes en-
phasize over and over again this central
thought, this motif of the novel itself. Too
long? The eager reader will say this. Will
say that too much time was lost before the
appearance of Eva Ltchfield. Indeed, he will
say that he began to despair of her coming
on at ALL Ard in other parts of the book long
detours, so to speak, do not repay in beauty or
other illumination for the delay.
A very important theme, however, that may
explain and excuse that which gives an i'm
preston of laboring the subject. There is very
little question that matrimony, along with
every other institution-social political, re-
ligious-is trial in truly revolutionary age.
And to this new outlook Miss eileen has by
way of East Of Eden" given a courageous and

A FIND, indeed, to comesupon budget of
Dickens letters. Sourced in a friendship
of 80 years. these letters are, besides, of free
dom and intimacy not to be found under other
conditions.
Baroness rdett-Coutts, like Dickens him
self, was vigorous in her protest against the in
difference of society toward its unfortunates-
those forgotten of heaven and earth; the old,
the sick, the destitute. rich woman, this lady
spent much of her time and resource upon the
slums of London Immediately engrossed in a
Rescue Home for Girls, but generally open to
every widespread form of want and helpless
ness
Partners, these two, in sense. OF single
mind in respect to practical philanthropy. the
baroness found Dickens of direct and compe-
tent assistance in following up the many ap-
peals for succor coming her way. To measure
these, to determine values, to make reports and
recommendations, for the rich woman to act
upon. And the two became warm friends. Al
most hundred years ago, that was. And here
is the sheaf of letters showing the depth and
intimacy of that friendship. Besides the ex-
change of thought on definite projects there is
deal of personal opinion, from Dickens at least,
concerning the futility of the clergy, the sins
Of the lawmakers the ignorance of the public
as a whole in respect to the dangers around it
through sickness, dirt crime through the whole
inimical power of poverty and destitution.
Sometimes Dickens talks little about himself.
About the agonies of creating live people for
book purposes, of preaching social sermons by
way of fun and laughter and tears all in sin
gle blend that at one moment sounds like clear
farce and the next moment is in reality p;tiful
tragedy.
We have already heard much Of the Amer
ican tour of Dickens. And still cherish some
pique over his frank opinions. One letter here
walls over the Hundreds of dinners he has to
eat, to his terror and dismay. That day after
tomorrow I am going to another one. 1000 miles
away, St. Louis" A jump indeed, for that ma
tive of the tight little isle" wider than
a mans palm by comparison. The book, as a
whole, is joy. 1t is more than that, for it is
in the nature of treasure as well.

DAY,

MOST of the scientific outline"
wi books are pretty dismal af-
fairs. Either they leave the abb
truse propositions which they set
out TO explain about as dark as they
found them. or they over-simplify
them and fill the trusting reader
with a lot Of information that isn't
true.
It's refreshing, therefore, to come
across a book which does the job
as neatly as it is done in Ram
bling Through Science" by A. l..
De Leeuw.
This book, which summarizes and
explains the accomplishments and
the theories of modern science, is
just about as good a book Of its
kind as 1 have seen.
De Leeuw possesses the rare merit
Of being able to simplify a highly
complicated subject without sacri-
f1cing any Of the essentials.
Using homely illustrations that
the lay reader is sure to be familiar
with, he discusses such things as
relatively, the measurement of the
speed of light, the makeup of
atoms, the way radium behaves, the
theory Of the ether, and so on, and
makes those things about as clear
as they can ever to be benighted
souls who lack thorough scientific
education.
All in all. Rambling Through
Science" provides you with singu-
larly pleasant way of brushing up
your knowledge of science.
The book is published by Whit
lesey House, and sells for $3.50.

they were being paid, and this, they
tell me, does not include fighting
factional battles.
And one Of the real generals
should have been William ONeill
securities commissioner. For this
willy and suave individual knows
more about the great old game Of
politics than all leaders in the anti
Peters group Jumped together. But
Billy was too smart and so he wasn't
caught out on the end Of the Oft
mentioned limb.
The anti-Peters group did not
have a candidate for the chairman
ship around whom it could rally.
True, names were mentioned, but
they were of men who could not
catch the imagination of party
workers.
just before the reorganization
meeting Saturday morning, the OPP
position caucused and decided to
support Ed Elsner Of Seymour. who
had been out OF state affairs so long
that he was almost an unknown
figure.
There were plenty of men from
whom to select-but the anti-Peters
group didn't know how. For in
stance. Jap Jones suggested Will
liam Mooney of indianapolis. new
Twelfth district chairman. Mooney
could have obtained more votes than
did Elsner, but the so-called lead
ers didn't think they could handle
him.
And to cap the climax the type Of
fight made upon Peters was not that
which could win support. Various
accusations we're flung and no evil
dence brought forth to subStantiate
them. and after while every one
got tired OF hearing the hot air.
SO Peters was reelected, not be-
cause the party leaders loved him
more-but because they loved the
opposition less.

ID EARL PETERS could have
IN been defeated for reelection
as Democratic state chairman Sat-
urday-and il wouldn't have been
such a hard job 10 put over new
man.
But the right kind of generalship
never was displayed during the two
years of campaigning to get Pc
ters. and the right type Of leaders
weren't directing the fight.
It's an easy thing to sit back after
It's all over and say Il told you So"
but Just for the fun Of it. and with
out malice or unkind criticism let's
examine the strategy Of the cam
paign.
The first error was made at the
beginning of the custer movement
two years ago, when Chester Mont
Comery and Rudy Alderman Of
South Bend stepped out as the lead
,ers. For years there has been a gen.
eral distrust Of the South Bend type
OF politics among party workers over
the state.
Both Montgomery and Alderman
we're comparatively unknown to the
central and southern democracy I'M
Ill Frank Mayr Jr. was elected sec
rotary Of state. and so they carried
little weight in the political picture
outside OF their own bailiwick.
The second error was to advance
May immediately for the Governor
nomination. This put the nourish-
ers CT similar ambitions on the
side-lines and left the anti-Peters
group without trained and adept
leadership.
Error number three was in per-
hitting the chief OF the state po-
lice, Grover Carrot. and the head
