His book makes clear an appalling de-
light in foulness, as well as o mass
Sadism that Is unbelievable-save that
it is vouched for by honorable men and
women. In summing up the springs
from which, in his opinion, this cor
ruption rises he Is dispassionately
plain.
1t should be said that the author
is not a Jew, nor Of Jewish descent.
Political hatreds would seem to be as
much the motivating force bahind the
atrocities Of the concentration camps
and prisons as racial antipathy. for,
while Herr Langhof himself escaped
special brutality Che was beaten in
sensible and had most Of his teeth
knocked out, but this, he says, was not
speciaD, other non-Jewish prisoners
were singled out for prosecutions above
the ordinary level The account Of the
treatment of the son Of former Presi-
dent Ebert makes this clear. The
Jews, indeed, may have Jared better
in the long run, for, such was the
treatment they received, they died or
went mad fairly soon. Either even-
tuality would be welcomed, If this book
is to be credited at all.
1t Is a curious thing to write a

rather enhances the greatness Of his
achievements; for the marvel OF the
human mind is that it does strive
toward truth in spite Of its imperfec-
ton. Newton went of the rails
even more conspicuously on another
occasion; he wasted a lot Of time
figuring ''the Number of the Beast"
from the Apocalypse; which should be
a permanent object lesson of what
happens when a scientific thinker
quits his own speciality. There are
hundreds of alleged thinkers now,
with no original achievements to their
credit, who misapply technique to
every subject under the sun and fondly
offer their conclusions as science.
MR.. REEDER should also be inter-
ested in the works of Professor
H. s. Jennings, author of THE Bio
logical Basis of Human Nature" and
"Genetics," which set forth lucidly
the theory Of genes and its expert
mental basis. Incidentally, Pro-
fessor Jennings quietly punctures
many Of the large claims made by
sociologists with smattering of ge-
netic information. So far as our
own meager qualifications permit us
to follow him, he seems to talk sense.

BLACK TENTS OF ARABIA BY Carl

TO THE austerely beautiful body OF
English letters which has been de-
voted to Arabia there comes. in this
book, a romantic addition It is the
story of riding, day by day, with one
of the great Bedouin tribes by Eu-
ropean who had been accepted by the
chief as a blood brother.

suits are assured. He tells us in de-
tail about some of the tests.
One cannot but ask oneself, reading
this thesis, What about overproduc-
ton? Has 1t not been blamed for all
our troubles, or most of them? Shall
we then start applying new science
which will multiply production far
above anything that has been ac-
complished in the past?"
Mr.. Wilcox refutes this objection
with the statement that 1t is not
overproduction that has caused our
economic grief, but faulty and un-
planned distribution. If enough were
produced, he says, and that sufficiency
properly distributed. no one would go
hungry. And. in the light Of agro-
biology, he asseverates, enough can
be produced. The matter of distribu-
ton is not his affair.
1t sounds irrefutable. II enough
really were produced. and everyone
got his share, certainly no one would
be hungry. But, somehow. 1t seems
q little easy. The scientist may grasp
1t instantly, but 1t leaves the lay
reader looking for the catch.

THE STUFFED MEN. BY Anthony
Rud. New York: The Macaulay
Co.
THIS is a mystery based on the de-
vious dark behavior of a group
of Chinese criminals. Unlike other
groups of Chinese criminals, they
have an object in their crime a .trif1e
more explicit than the destruction of
Occidental civilization. They want to
monopolize the manufacture of spu-
rious Ming pottery and white rivals
are giving them competition. But
they are just as devious and dark as
those of their countrymen who, in the
pages Of our best sellers, patriotically
brew dreadful poisons and breed hor-
rid insects to the end that the white
man shall perish. They operate on
Long Island.
As mysteries 60, this is not bad
one. A new use is made of radio
and the hero has a narrow squeak
escaping the Death Of the Heated
Rat, though, to our grief, the Death
of the Thousand Slices Is never ex-
planned. Intuition is called into play
but once. That is in solving the
crime. We can recommend 1t.
NATIONS CAN LIVE AT HOME.
BY o. w. Wilcox. New York: w.
w. Norton & Co.
THE author of this book is an agro-
= biologist. He is not an agricul-
turalist nor an agronomist nor a BIZ
ologist. He Is an agrobiologist. And
speaking for his fraternity, he ad-
vances a fine new plan for saving
civilization.
The psychologists have it, he tells
us. They know the way. If we fol-
low their teaching, we may avoid
foolish wars. panics and famines; we
may live well and securely. If we do
not-well then, we will continue pre-
sumably in the way we are headed
and, If woe betide US, it is not be-
cause the psychologists did not tell
us better.
It is an engaging idea, anyway.
Says Mr.. Wilcox, the cause of wars
is pressure Of populations on the soil.
And pressure of population on the
soil means that the soil is not pro-
ducing all that the population needs
to live by. If, therefore, every nation
would produce its own necessities in
abundance, there would be far fewer
armed conflicts. Struggles for markets
would be reduced, need for new terri
tories would be cut down. competition
would be less likely to become destruc-
tive and In general better conditions
would exist everywhere.
But can the nations, from their
own soil, produce as much as they
require? Mr.. Wilcox states, and
brings forward impressive tables and
equations to prove it, that they can.
Agrobiology has made it possible.
Agrobiology has made of agriculture
an exact ecjence, reducing chance to
a comfortable minimum. If one
thinks of recent wholesale crop fail
ures as Somewhat disproving this. Mr..
Wilcox tells us that, as yet, the dis
coveries of the agros have not gone
far beyond their laboratories. The
exact science has not been applied.
But It has been tested until its re-

Of the strange code Of hospitality
which rules there, of marriage ano
death, of hunting and falconry, o1
raids and code Of honesty no less
foreign to the occidental concept thar
is the Arab concept of a guest. His
book has the feeling Of genuineness ir
its essence, although one wonders al
times if the actual episodes have not
been romanticized a trif1e for the SAKE
of Immediately improving the story.
The great interest of the work is ir
the chapters which describe the mi
grafton of the Ruala tribe-300,00C
camels-beyond its own boundaries in
search of pastures after a disastrous
drought. The author was one of the
group which was sent to beg the chief
of the neighboring tribe for the use
of his land: he was, in fact, the only
European who witnessed the negotia-
tons. The permission was granted
after long talk, and the ambassadors
lay down to sleep.
In the morning, when they woke
they were alone on the desert. The
neighboring tribe had kept its pledge
1t had already moved in order to
allow the Ruala to occupy its pas
lures.
The beauty of this gesture i'm
presses the reader deeply. 1t is hard
therefore, to have to relate that on
the return trip, the ambassadors were
ambushed and several of their num-
Der murdered. This. did not mean
that the permission was withdrawn
1t was merely by way of a minority
report from disapproving tribesman
Apparently, it was taken in perfectly
good party by the Ruala, as protest
within the mans right. They moved
into the new pasture, but seemed te
make no effort at reprisals.

Arabs, and writes as one who knows

REPAIR WORK

Deteriorated Metal Parts
Cause Damage to
Structures.

Homer Selch, manager of the
company bearing his name at 844
Virignia-av, stated today:
'Leaky, corroded, loosened fash
ings, cutters and downspouts cause
serious building damage. Ruined
walls and ceilings, as well as un-
slightly stains result from the neg
lect of these parts Of the house.
Many building owners are max
ing repairs of this kind, following
the suggestions Of representatives OF
this company. Experienced work
men can easily repair or install
Hastings over window or door open
ings, around chimneyS, roof inter-
sections, pipe vents and other pro-
jectionS or openings.
At the same time workmen may
clean cutters and downspouts Of
litter and dirt, repairing them or
placing new ones where necessary.
One of the most annoying features
Of building under trees is that fall
ing leaves must be cleaned out of
all cutters as they will soon rot and
thoroughly clog the downspouts.
Deterioration of metals which
are subject to corrosion may be re-
tarded by the use of suitable paint
or paint materials.

only lightly stained finishes. These
not only reveal the real beauty OF

also permit the natural aging OF the

is finished with lacquer, a finish
that will stand much abuse.
