NbOW EtG1NC WlLDEFNESSES,
Il by John Galsworthy, is a book
remarkable chiefly for its strange
atmosphere of unreality.
1t is unreal, probably, because it
givesA with painstaking minuteness,
a picture of society and a code
which have vanished.
1t deals with values which no
longer are current. It's people seem
as out Of place in the present age
as the conquistadors of old Mexico.
The novel concerns itself chiefly
with Dinny Charwell, daughter of
an incredibly aristocratic English
family.
Dinny falls in love with a man
who just has returned from ten
years in Arabia and it's environs, a
hectic young poet who, it develops,
has sinned against the code.
What the young man did, you
see, was this:
A fanatical Arab captured him
and vowed to kill him unless he
accepted Mohammedanism. Since
the lad long since had given up the
last vestiges of his faith in any re-
ligion, he quite sensibly complied
and saved his life.
But when news of it reached up
perclass London, there was a ter
rible fuss.
He had let England down.; he
had failed to be a "pukka sahib. "
Hi club forced him to resign. A
horse breeding country gentleman
tried to horsewhip him. Dinny'S
family almost died of shame.
And in the end he found that he
himself couldn't live it down; so
Dinny's romance went to pot, but
England's honor, or something, was
avenged.
Published by Scribner's, the book
is priced at $3.50.

This is what you must find out,

seriously. What happened be-
tween him and Cousin Amos when
he stopped on his way downstairs
last night?
why was he so standoffish at
the dance, even to you? Did he go
to bed as soon as he went to his
room this morning? How did he
happen to hear you fall and not
hear Cousin Amos and the ruction
before that?"
Tom looked at his watch.

WITH a quick pressure of his

Linda watched him cross the brief
stretch of lawn, heard his brisk step
on the stone flags and saw him
vanish through the easement win

She suddenly was glad that,
though she could not see him, he
would be there near the window and

 Cincinnati, O., July 14.-(UP) In Cincinnati, persons do not think of Libby Holman as the fas- cinating singer of Body and Soul" {" but as a schoolgirl wearing plaid skirt, woolen hose and flat-heeled shoes.
 That's the type of youngster she was before she left the apartment of her father. Alfred Holman, Cin- cinnati lawyer, in 1924. to carry her aspirations to New York.
 But her Jose friends felt certain of one thing-she would get what she wanted.
 In school, she took scholarships, awards for extra-curricular activi- ties, and just about her choice of admirers among boys os the Uni yersity of Cincinnati fraternities. Even to-day some of her former girl classmates express an anti pathy perhaps based on her suc- cesses.
 She was a personality girl" Even in earliest. appearances before Girl Scout groups and university shows, the rare talent of reaching the audience was manifested.
 There was natural color in her face, brilliance in her black ori- entel eyes. She laughed much. Her hair was wild, as it is now. But she was bundled in plaid skirt. woolen hose and flat-heeled shoes.
 She was born Elizabeth Lloyd Holzman. The "Z" was dropped from the last name during the war when Cincinnati was extremely

Tacahuano, Chile, July 14-- (UP)-Twenty-on one children among 800 attending benefit perform ance at the Esmeralda theater for poor families were strampied. to death late yesterday when the crowd was stampeded by g fire that would have harmed no one. Forty persons, most of them chil- dren between the ages of six and nine, were injured In the mad fight to reach the streets. Panic was the sole cause of death and injury, as the fire in the projection booth was extinguished easily.
 The fire started just as the hero- inc of a serial thrilled the chill dren by diving from the second floor of a house into a pool of water. The film fiickered suddenly. there was a spurt of flame from the concrete enclosed projection booth, then the cry of "Fuego!" (firei). Persons in the balcony nearest the projection booth, jumped to the main floor and iand- ed on helpless children too terri fled to move. Many victims were found crushed in their places.

OVER
 THERE ARE ANGRY

Washington. July 14-lU. F - The American embassies in both London and Paris reported to the state department to-day the text of the Anglo French accord as reveals ed by Sir Simon and Premier Her. riot, but made no comment.
 Officials professed to see in This joint statement nothing as yet tn- furious to the United States. They were more interested, however. in what had not been revealed than in the published text.
 M The tendency of the state depart- ment is to deprecate any tnterpre- tation of the accord. which would tend to show that France and Ens- land has assumed a united front against this country on the war debt issue. s
 One official interpretation was that it was an answer to Amerlca's plea that. Europe work out its iii- ternal political problems as U pre- liminary to both disarmament and financial readjustmeht.
 If, however, the accord would mean that Great Britain and France will insist on negotiating jointly on war debts, twill, in official 6pin-' ion cause no change in Americas determination that each country desiring temporary relief from war debt payments shall apply here sep- arately.
 These official reactions are pre- liminary. Actually the state depnrt- ment is still somewhat in doubt as to the nature and purpose of sign ed agreements reached at the Lau- same separations conference. It will follow eagerly all develop, ments throwing light on these un- derstandings.

Springfield, III, July 14-(UP1 Protesting Illinois coal ;, miners who would rather not work than work for s a day, returned to their homes to-day after two days of riotons protesting against offi- cials of their union who propose a reduction in the basic wage scale from $6.1O to $5 a day to allod closed mines to reopen.
 Even the return home was not devoid of difficulties. Christian county authorities. fearing disturb ances, at first refused to permit a band of 1,50O miners to pass through Taylorville. The caravan was stopped at the county line by sherdiff's deputation and a crowd of 4,O00 spectators. The miners threatened to show the officials where to get off," and after heat ed arguments, the caravan was permitted to pass through the through the town.
 The new scale, according to op- orators, will permit mines closed since March when the union con- tracts expired, to reopen. The disappearing miners were return ing home so as to defeat the agree ment when it is submitted for ball loting to the local unions.
