sional people. The weather. chill
dren received higher scores on the
Stanford-Binet scale, but their adj
vantage was smaller when measured
by the Merrill Palmer scale, in
which language is less important,
and the difference was smaller still
when the language tests were
omitted. The poorer children eX-
celled on some of the motor tests.
This finding justifies serious ques-
tioning of the accepted viewpoint
that the intelligence of children is
greater toward the upper end Of
the social-economic scale, DR.. Ka-
win concludes, although she warns
that the number of cases in her
study are too few to warrant any
definite conclusions.

A T a small cost, one may get
"a caught up on his reading of
worthwhile books on the World
war as the Modern Library has just
printed E. E. Cummings The
Enormous Room"
Mr. Cummings, in his new intro
duction to The Enormous Room, E"
says that his book actually uses
war to explore an inconceivable
vastness which is so unbelievably
far away that it appears miscro-
scopic."
It is seldom that an author can
capture the terrible horror and the
awful emptiness of war as Mr.. Cum
mings does in The Enormous
Room"
This book brings home to the
reader the most dreadful indictment
of war imaginable.

The tremendous achievement OF
Mr.. Cummings is that he shows
both the spiritual. mental and
psychological decay Of men as they
waxed into mental and physical
ghosts while being held unjustly
and illegally for nearly a year in
a concentration camp at La Ferte
Mace, France. in 1917.
Mr.. Cummings was an American
ambulance driver, and his only OF
Tense. according to the records
given in the book, was that he was
a friend of b" who wrote some
exotic but harmless letters while in
the ambulance service.
For that, these two men we're
arrested, subjected TO MANY in
dignities, dragged across France like
criminals, and closely confined IN
a concentration camp"
If hell ever existed on earth, 1t
exists in Mr. Cummings description
of the conditions in this camp.
Physical. mental and spiritual rot
that was the result Of the treat
ment accorded many fine men in
this hole of horrors, according to
the author.
Yet out of these unbelievable con-
di.ions. Mr.. Cummings and many
others managed in some strange way
70 make friendships of an everlast-
ing nature among the other poor
creatures in that camp.
They were able to permit their
imaginations to leave their sur
roundings, to paint great pictures,
to wrise marvellous and inspiring
music, and to create noble poems.
That is the victory over death
that these men accomplished while
in this camp.

$1,000 each. Neither of the
horses has to win the race to
collect this purse but whichever
horse comes in ahead of the
other two wins this bet. This

duced that crumpled piece Of paper
wherein was drawn the plan Of the
stables.
Nov, at the sight Of this paper,
Barrymsine fell back a step, his
pistol-hand wsvered. fell to his side,
and sinking into a chair, he seemed
70 shrink into himself as he stared
duly at a worn patch in the carpet.

Of this" said Barnabas.
"Well2" The word seemed wrung
from BarTymaine' quivering lips.
He lay back in the rickety chair, his
arms dangling. his chin upon his
breast, never lifting his haggard
eyes. and. almost as he spoke. the
pistol slipped from his lax fingers
and lay all unheeded.
Not another soul shall ever
know" said Barnabas earnestly,

TO free yourself from Chichester's

"And-if I-c-cant?"
Barnabas sighed, and folding up
the crumpled paper, thrust it back
into his pocket.
You shall have-a week to make
up your mind. You know my ad-
dress, I think-at least, Mr.. Smivvle
does"
So saying, Barnabas stepped to-
ward the door, but, seeing the look
on Barrymaine's face, he stopped
very suddenly. and picked up the
pistol. Then he unlocked the door
and went out, closing it behind
him.
Upon the dark stairs he encoun-
tered Mr.. Smivvle, who had been
sitting there making nervous havoc
Of his whiskers.
Cad, Beverley" he exclaimed,
Il ought not to have left you alone

your rent. don't worry about that
I'll send it round to you this eve
ming. Good-by."
So Barnabas went on down the
dark stairs. and being come to the
door with the faulty latch, let him
self out into the dingy street, and
thus came face to face with the man
in the fur cap.
