THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The wise booklover comes In time to
refrain from pressing O book upon q
friend.
is to permit him to find it for himself.
But how many friends of books never
learn this lesson?
Reading something new, and liking 1t
immensely, nothing will do them but
to foist if off upon their acquaintances.
"Foist" means to introduce surrepti-
| tiouSly or unWarrantably.
1t is the latter meaning which applies,
because the thing is unwarranted in
every way.
Suppose you do think your friend will
enjoy it?
He will like it all the better for find
ing it himself.
The great haste of so many to force
book upon another is rather a refiec-
ton upon his aWareness of their time
than anything else.
1t presuppoSeS that the fellow is not
as we'll read as ones precious self, and
that If he is not told about this fine
book the chances are very large that he
will miss it altogether.
X
The chances are that he will do moth
ing of the kind.
He will come around to it., In all good
time, and enjoy it all the more because
1t was his own discovery.
The joy Of finding ones own books
for ones self-where will a certain
type Of mind find greater delight?
This is a discovery of more than gold.
This IS the real treasure at the end Of
the reading rainbow.
No one would say word against the
free communion of thought among those
who love 20 read.
Surely there should be much talk
about 1t and about" and normally
there IS, when two or more Of the friends
OF books get together.
Booklovers may not send in much
fan mail" but they do love their books.
Reading never pals upon them. There
may be q slight let-doWn. from time to
time. but in the main once a booklover,
always a boOlIlOyer.
Such persons are never happier than
when talking books The theme, of
course. is ineXhaustible. Not only are
there the books of all the ages. but there
Is the constant stream from the presses.
One may be as ole or as strictly
modern as one desires, when talking
about books.
Not talk, therefore. is frowned upon,
but the actual forcing OF the physical
book itself upon another.
This should be undertaken with q
prayer. but normally no thought Is given
the matter at ALL
Il just read a great book" he bubbles.
Wouldn't you like to read it? Here it
is"
And he thrusts the prize volume
bodily into reluctant hands
He does not see the lack Of enthu-
siasm in the eyes looking into his.
He does not feel the hesitating grip
taken upon the wonderful book.
He is so filled with enthusiasm HIM

his ardOr is the result Of reading and
that the other has not read

he would reply instantly, and with some
warmth, that that was exactly what he
was aiming at to put the other up to

The Lynching Crime in 1888.

The dying year, 1888, leaves a record
bearing one ugly stain. In this year
there were twenty-eight lynchings. as
against eight in 1882. Half of those
lynched were taken from the agents of
the law, and half were hunted down
and killed before officers Of the law
had arrested them or the laws processes
Of trial and punishment began. In the
case Of three of those lynched. accord
ing to statistics announced by Tlskegee
Institute, no offenses were known to
have been committed. Other offenses
charged ranged from slapping a boy
and stealing liquor to murder. There
we're eight cases in which murder was
charged.

LONDON. Nov. 2O.-Japan, i'll
naval limitation negotiations here,
/ has conceded the right of Great Bri-
tain to a larger navy than hers, but
has insisted on absolute equality
with the United States, it was re-
ported authoritatively today.
The japanese, it was revealed,
had in effect conceded Great Bri-
tain's right" to the largest navy
afloat, because of the size of its
empire-scattered and comprising
one-four of the land surface.
They insisted. it was said, that
Japan's navy must be the same size
as that of the United States.
Great Britain seemed placed in
difficult situation, because since 1922
it has recognized the principle Of
British-American equality as estab-
| liShed
The position of the American
delegation, however, seemed more
difficult. The British could not be
expected to be annoyed by sugges-
tons that they should have the
greatest navy. The British and
Japanese would like to see the size
of battleships, cruisers and big guns
decreased. The United States must
have big battleships, big cruisers
and big guns because it lacks naval
bases and its ships must cruise
| great distances without reproviSion-
ing.
TSuneo Matsudaira, japanese am
bassador, visited Sir John Simon
last night to inform him formally
that the British compromise pro-
posal, involving roughly a five-flve-
four ratio with Japan at the small
end. was unsatisfactory. Sir John
is to report to the cabinet, prob
