Mr.. Warburg's telling blows are

Personally. Mr.. Warburg thinks
Mr.. Roosevelt is sincere.
Politically, he thinks he Is
unfit to be President.
To back up his contention he

Rightfully enough a great deal
Of the book deals with the colored
residents of the region. Due to
the fact that the great majority
of the population is colored there
can be no fight with Mr.. Cohn's
emphasis on the vagaries of the
race. 1t is, however, in the man.
ner in which Mr.. Cohn treats the
race in relation to the Southern
civilization that the South is be-
ing aroused by their neighbor's
words.
This volume is not written by
someone on the outside looking
in but on the other hand follows
the antithesiS of someone on the
inside looking out. It's hardly a
pretty picture, the story of crime,
religion, drudgery and Subjuga-
ton; but for all of this it has
been received as more or less ac-
curate by it's critics in the land in
which it was born.
Following the footsteps Of so
many of the modern writer's of to-
day Mr.. Cohn lays severe emphasis
on the details of life in the Delta
thereby turning up quite a few re-
actions and undercover clodS that
have been recognized but not
talked about much for generations
past.
Mr.. Cohn's Photographic mem
ory has enabled him to put on
paper, picture after picture of the
life he has seen flouriShing around
him and although his Southern
readers are not expressly proud of
the panorama he portrays they
are admitting his honesty.
It is a volume that is causing
considerable comment and debate
below the Mason Dixon line and
proving quite a favorite in the
North.

1t Is one Of the more gripping
tales of this literary age. Its plot
structure is faultleSs. It's mate
rial, while perhaps of no great mo-
ment to an American public
stepped in its own World War fic-
tion-history, has a weird flavor
that will call it at once to the at
tention of adventure lovers.
It's translation from the Dutch,
accomplished by David C. DeJong
has been done in the true modern
style that so many American nov
els have taken in the past six
months.
The story concerns the secret
society Of farmers, and revolution
lists fighting for freedom from
their near Serfdom. The "Ex-
press" is but a symbol Of the fu-
tile fight.
Strange to say, this n o v
catches some of the historical ver-
ity of similar revolutions with its
changing background.
Throughout the gamut of Sc
cret meetings, assaSsinations, guer-
rilla warfare in the hills and un-
speakable atrocities committed by
both sides, the human envelope
remains the same. The man
changes his mental passports, but
never his patriotic makeup.
Built upon the life story Of a
hero called bandit" because his
goal was not reached in his life
time. it is a stirring and interest
ing tale.
Adventures in the East have al
ways held a tantalizing appeal to
this continent and though the civ
ilization has modernized the back

nets are commonly used in the
symphony orchestra, this instru-
ment is used in large numbers in
q concert band. In the band, the
clarinet replaces the large violin
sections Of the orchestra.
Clarinets are made of both
wood and metal. If properly pro-
portioned, the material of which it
is made, has nothing whatsoever
to do with the quality of tone.
AS many of the best symphony
orchestra clarinet players are now
using metal clarinets, there seems
to be little ground Tor argument
over the question.

Because the etchers have had
the right of way in Washington
for the past several weeks and
because the water colors Of Stan
ley woodward are so excellent, it
Is only fair to comment on the
paintings first.
Mr.. Woodward will certainly
appeal to the marine picture en-
thusiasts. of which this critic is
one.
OF % water colors on exhibition,
only two, both of them pictures
Of little red houses, prevent the
Arts Club from announcing a 100
per cent marine picture showing.
Mr.. Woodward has fondness
for turbulent waters breaking
over craggy rocks. He loves them,
and though there are so many
pictures with the same general
idea, there is absolutely no mo-
notony about the exhibition.
Themes Differ
He creates beautiful water ef-
fectS, with lovely, white spray.
His sun effects and his moonlight
on the sea are really lovely.
There is an entirely different
theme in each of the marine
water colors. Some of them are
tranquil and some Of them lean
toward heavy, angry seas. But in
each there is lovely color that
demonstrates his mastery in the
use of white-both for spray and
for clouds.
Mr.. Woodward's pictures Of the
sea are shown in the Boston
Museum Of Art, the Maiden Pub
lie Library. the Concord Art AS
Sociation, the Fort Worth Museum
Of Art and other wellknown gal
leries. He has also received the
Hallgarten Prize Of the National
Academy Of Design. the Hammond
Prize Of New York Water Color
Club and American Water Color
Society, Gold Medal Of the Ter
centenary Exhibition at Boston,
and others.

Paul Pilgrim, manager of ath- letics at the New York Athletic Club, was not at all Surpri e d when Bill Bonthron appeared at the Winged Foot club and resum- ed working out on the track, de- spite the former Princeton miler's announcement that he would re- tire from foot-racing when his college days were over.
 Pilgrim, great middle distance runner in his day and winner of the 440 and 880 in. the 1906 Olym-t pics, knew better than to take the retirement talk too seriously and fully expected Bonthron to run again after a little rest
 T know how he felt after that long, hard, running campaign" commented Pilgrim. You get so tired of the training grind you never want to see spiked shoe again, but after long rest you are keen to get going again
 Bonthron was tired of running and well he might have been. In the final month of his campaign he won the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. 800 and 1900 meters, the Ma tional Collegiate mile and the Ma tional A. A. U. 1900 meter cham pionship in schedule which car ried him to the West Coast and back again..
 Dceant Like .a Kun
 All through his varsity career, Bonthron insisted that he never really liked to run and did so only because some sort of athletic ac- tivity was expected of him.
 He claims his feeling toward foot-racing is still unchanged, that he is resuming his training only because he deems it unwise to drop all athletic activity suddenly after years of high school, prep school and college racing. His plan is to taper off gradually over period Of three years until he can safely hang up his spiked shoes.
 Bonthron's method of training for foot-racing may be considered unorthodox, yet it is perfectly suit ed to his needs, judged in the light of his accomplishments. He spends at least as much time at the weight pulling machines in the gymnasium as he does on the run ming track.

BAER ANXIOUS TO GIVE FANS
 KAYO THRILLS
On m pi Would Meet Seven Contenders Tn
 Ten-round Bouts

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Now strides forth Max Baer, the champion of all the heavyweights, with the most astounding proposal yet made by any of the worlds title holders, since heavyweights wore long wool ems and fought on the sod.
 Max, after due deliberation with lis manager of record, Ancil Hoff- man, has decided that the fight game needs stirring up The best stirring up process is the knock cut. and after looking the situation ever, Max allows that the person best qualified to support knock outs is none other than Max Baer, &s evidenced a short while ago when the erstWhile un-knocked-out King Levinsky was pounded into 'nothin' but a nothin'" in less than two rounds.
 Heres what Baer proposes, con- fident in his own powers to stop any of the so-called heavyweight oontenders.
 Lists Seven Prospects
 Through Hoffman, he lists seven prospective opponents, and with out regard for their rating, they are Steve Hamas and Art Lasky of America, Max Schmeling of Ger many, Primo Camera of Italy, Jack Doyle of Ireland, Peterson of Eng land and Charles of France.
 Baer says:
 Tn the past, it has been the custom to arrive at the logical championship contender by elim- ination contests. That's the bunk. The way to find out who's entitled to fight me for my title over the fifteen-round route, is to have 'em all meet me, in ten-round bouts.
 If any one of the mob is able to last ten rounds, no one will question his right to fight me over the fifteen-round route. As it is now, none of those mugs have any license to be clamoring for a  championship bout They haven't beaten anybody, and they sell dom knock anybody out. Knock outs are what the fight game needs"
 Baer added that he and Hoff- man, having made this proposal, will await bids for the ten-round ''tryout" bouts from around the country.
 Three for Chicago
 At least three of the matches, Baer and Hoffman anticipate, will be held in Chicago, where Jim Mullen and Nate Lewis have suc- ceeded in restoring some life to

FIGURES PROVE
 JUNEAU REALLY
 DID WIN MEET

Additional facts and figures OH total team scores and individual tallies gave added proof today to the announcement that Juneau Elks had won the 1885 inter-city bowling contest with Anchorage and Ketchikan Elk teams.
 A totaling of the scores made by the teams during the ten-day 30-game tourney gave the follow ling comparison: Jun au, 26,869 points; Anchorage, 25,921; and Ket- chikan,N ,733. As announced yes terday at the conclusion :. of the meet, Juneau led Anchorage by 948 pins, Ketchikan by 1,136. An chorage led Ketchikan by 1888. Without any doubt, Juneau car claim the two best bowlers in the tournament. The question is, who is the better? Ed Radde, bowling in all ten matches, clicked a 5,445 total to lead all scorers. Metcalf who did not bowl Thursday, Janu- ary 10, had the third best total score of the meet, with a 5,001 count for nine matches. lulIsn Ketchikan, had 5,321 in ten match es for second place.
 But if Radde takes the best total score, Metcalf steps right in with the best and second-best one day totals. The Juneau bowler hit 606 pins one day, only to follow this score with GOT later. All oi which indicates, that, if Metcalf had bowled on January 10, he might have led the tourney in total score as well.
 < The third best individual one day score was chaiked up by Eur ich of Ketchikan with 599 effort The three highest one-day team EscoTes also went to Juneau wher that team turned in scores Of 2,875 2,768 and 2,766. Anchorage had the fourth best one-day count 2,764 while Ketchikan was fifth with g performance of 2,751.
 Here are the eleven highes individual scorers in the tourna- ment:

stride it is natural that he should need unusual strength to carry ,him along at a record-breaking clip. Hence his rigid program of body building.
 ] Lacking form in his running depending almost entirely on a finishing kick to bring him home in front, Bonthron has substituted unusual strength and power All attempts to alter his running style were fruitless and he had to re- turn to his natural method.
 Back For Olympics He plans to begin his indoor campaign by running distance rac- es and training down to the short CT and faster races as the season wears on.
