Here's an Account of . Lost
 Generation" Before the War
 BY BRUCE CATION
 We had a "lost generation" be- fore the war, and very self conscious and arty generation 1t was: rich young Americans who just couldn't endure their own country's raw, crude vitality. and who spent their substance in Q frantic, faintly ridiculous effort to get away from 1t all.
 You get an interesting and irri- tating picture of that generation In European Experiences" by Mabel Dodge Luhan.
 Mrs. Luhan was born to 6 we'll to-do family in Buffalo and grew LID around the turn of the century. She apparently was to. Buffalo, for time, what Alice Roosevelt once was to Washington; but after 6 time this palled on her. and after 8 spur-of- the-mofnent marriage was ended by death she went to Paris, where she speedily married Q foot loose young Bostonian.
 To Italy they went, to occupy a huge villa and entertain the wan dering and intellectual crowd of ex- patriates; and reading Mrs. Luhan'a account of the life they led, one gets the impression that their gen. eration was just as truly Host" ai the better publicized one which came after the war.
 They were lost because their own country was too much for them They ran away from 1t, they dab. bled desperately in art. in polite conversation and in civilized liv. ing"; and all of them posed. It is @ tribute to Mrs. Luhan'i skill as 6 writer that she can make all of these antics interesting. Hel book is eminently readable.
 Published by Harcourt, Brace and O., 1t sells for $3.76.

Good Will on the Road

There is no better time than dur
ing the holiday season to emphasize
the obligation of every motOrist. 1t
is of more than passive interest that
the Holiday season closes that quar-
ter of the year when automobile ac-
cidents. deaths and injuries are at an
annual peak, according to the Ma
tional Bureau of Casualty and Surety
Underwriters. How horrible is the
thought that as we approach TIE days
when the sentiment, Good Will to
ALL" is glorified throughout the land,
the carnage of wrecks and broken
bodies is strewn more than ever over
the face of our country.
Reams OF paper have been used and
columns and columns Of type have
been set in telling the public about
the necessity of courtesy OF driving
as an accident preventive measure.
Driving at speeds reasonable for con-
ditiOns, sharing the road, passing
properly, using correct hand signals,
avoiding all those actions which make
driving dangerous and uncomfortable
for the other fellow, are the dictates
Of courtesy and manners. So, too,
are they dictates of the principle of
the good neighbor. Good driving, with
real desire to safeguard the lives
of those e. posed to the consequences
of that driving, is practical chris
tianity. 1t is a kind of practical
christianity that follwers of all creeds
can subscribe to as they join in the
common rejoicing at this Christmas
season.
of America is the saving of souls.
BY entering with wholehearted activ-
ity into the automobile safety move
ment, they can extend their activity
to the saving of lives without vio-
lating their first purpose. The blot
upon soul as a result of killing or
manning another through careless
or needless action, is one not easily
erased The churches have TIE ad-
VANTAGE of being able to appeal to

country on occasions when they are

will as a driving maxim. TIE good
neighbor on TIE road could well serve
as theme for a sermon in every
church at this time of year.
So long as selfishness and stupid
recklessness, so long as death and de-
struction exist on our streets and
highways. the ideal of peace on earth,
good will toward men. will command
little more than lip service.
