THE SUN SETS IN THE WEST. BY
Myron BRING. New York: Far
rar and Rinehart.
THIS book is proof once again of
the truth that is as old as the
novel-writing trade itself-that the
subject has nothing to do with the
finished works merit.
If one were to look farther afield
for evidence of this eternal verify one
could turn to that supremely great
book, Fathers and Children" Its
hero, one dimly remembers, was some
thing called a "nihiliSt." It greatly
agitated literary circles in Russia
more than half century ago. because
of its political implications. Who cares
about nihilism today? Who knows
what the word implied? And yet, the
book stands there, as alive and beau-
tiful as q field of growing plants.
Probably the hardy, virtuous proletar-
ians of the Soviets today despise the
novel that their grandfathers found
SO revolutionary" but for the world
that allows literature to be something
above propaganda Fathers and Chill
dren" is an enduring reminder Of the
capacity of human genius to create.
Its subject Is Of no Importance. Its
life and beauty are unfading.
This is not by any means a COM
pairing Of Mr.. Brings book with
Turgenev's. II 'The Sun Sets in the
West" should have more than q few
seasons success at least one reviewer
would be severely surprised. But it
does have quality. Beyond q doubt,
it belongs.
And its subject Is SO familiar that
one blushes to set 1t down. It Is the
old current literary rubber-stamp, the
struggle, in . little American town.
Of . few ideaNsts with their mean
hearted neighbocab and their defeat.

There is hardly q young writer, OF
an old one, who has not made at least
one pot-boiler out Of the fiotsam and
jetsam tossed up-how many years
ago-by the hurricane Of Main
Street." "Winesburg, Ohio" and COM

lists must rewrite successful books, one
could wish that the fashion might
change.
All the more tribute, however, Is
owing to Mr.. BRING that he has
been able to put new wine into the
sour old bottle. He has done 1t some
what by his writer's skill, but chiefly
by his capacity for conveying his
naive-and hence arresting-wrath-
fulness to his reader. One feels that
he has discovered all this nastiness
himself. One doubts that he has
bothered to read many Of his con-
temporaries at all. He descends on
his lothsome little Copper City some
what in the manner of q minor Mes
siah discovering the money changers
in the temple. He lashes them very
heartily. He lashes them with every
thing to hand-ridicule, scorn and
savage delineation. He does o very
thorough job Of it, too.
And even 50, one feels that he
wastes his talent somewhat. The
cleverest writer cannot make tea

than she Is and that Is not very funny.

he Is putting his reader In an odd
spot. For the idealist Is . weakling,

Passenger traffic on Pennsylvania
Airlines between Washington and De-
troit has reached an average of more
than 100 per day. During April a
total of 3,709 passengers new in the
planes of this line for a new all-time
monthly record. The new total was 405
per cent greater than for April, 1884.
During the first four months Of
this year ll,084 passengers have
flown on the Pennsylvania Airlines
ships. as against 3.25S for the same
period of last year, an increase of
240 per cent. The capacity of sched-

Despite the heavy setback suf-
fered by the domestic airlines Of the
United States in consequence Of the
cancellation of all airmail contracts
in February Of last year, civil air
planes in the United States carried
more passengers In 1884 than in 1888,
according to a survey made by the
Bureau of Air Commerce.
All airlines suffered heavy passen-
ger losses when the mail contracts
were cancelled, and operated at levels
far below normal for months after
ward. Despite these losses, however.
the gains for the latter half of the
year were so great as to bring the
total above normal.
The bureaus figures show that civil
airplanes carried 1,859,03l passengers
In 1884. as compared with 1.73e275
in the preceding year. The total in

for the schools have been extremely

most constantly. Milwaukee was one

Too much emphasis cannot be placed
on the Importance of the generous
support given by press and radio.
Similarly should be mentioned the
fine work at the safety division of
| the Milwaukee Chamber of Com
merce. which, while specializing in
industrial safety, in fire prevention,
first aid, etc, has helped much in
developing that essential community
safety sense which is SO apparent.
The 1885 Milwaukee Foreman Safety
School, for example, Is being at
tended by more than 1000 indus
trial employees. Think Of what an
influence that has in developing
safety consciousness, not only among
the men while at work, but also after
the whistle blows" when they drive
or walk.
And then there is the Safety Com
missions school for drivers, with a
1885 attendance of 3,400 and the
Motor Driver School for women, with
l 100 lad, drivers registered this year.
Probably 80 per cent of those attend
ing the mems school are commercial
operators. Then, too, the commits
sion reaches right into the Milwaukee
homes via the Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation, about ITO groups in all, with
monthly bulletins sent to members
Of the safety committees Of each
group.
AS the result of this continuous
effort, not only last year but for many
years the safety idea has permeated
the entire community. All branches
of the city government are sold on
the program; civic groups are
thoroughly sold on the idea and drivers
and pedestrians, too. In safety
mindedness' they are far out ahead Of
the populace Of the average city.
ANY community, regardless OF its
record during 1884, should find in
