In this little pocket-sized volume
the publisher has brought together
eleven short stories written by Bal
FAC about a hundred years ago AS
the reader knows, Balzac wrote most
ly of French life, or the lives of
those who happened to be in France,
and as observed. discussed and mag
ined by Balzac, depicting nature in
the raw and clearly exposing human
desires, emotions and passions.
For this compilation the publisher
includes the following stories:
The Kings sweetheart
The Maid of Thilouse
The Brother-in-Arms
The Vicar of Azay-Le-Rideau
The Reproach
The Confluence Of King Francis,
the First
The Danger of Being Too limo
cent
Despair in Love,
How the Pretty Maid of Portillon
Convinced Her Judge Concern
ing a Poor Man who was called
LeVieux Par-Chemins,
and Odd sayings Of Three Pilgrims.
In a letter from D. H. Smith, the
publisher, he acknowledges the fact
that widespread publicity is not es-
sential to popularize Balzac stories
but he does claim that his method Of
publishing and distributing is unique
inasmuch as he is able to dispose Of
an otherwise high-class and costly
publication for the low sum of only
thirty cents a volume and on this
basis he desires his efforts to be
made known among Negro readers
and invites the cooperation Of c
book distributors.

passed, 209 to 176. the amended Pat

900 bond issue to pay in full csm-
pensation certificates Of World war
veterans.
Fifty four republicans, 154 dem

for the bill, and 128 republicans and
48 democrats against it.
The measure now goes to the SEN
ate where, ON a vote probably late
thus week, it Is expected to be de

President Hoover is certain to veto
it. The vote in the house today in
dieated the measure could not be
passed there over the veto with the
required three-fourths majority.
