Tales of the
Old West

Despite the fact that Americas
frontiers have vanished into con.
servation camps and the gun.
toting Western is a thing OF the
past there still remains a group
who weave tales Of the Old West.
Hell on the Pecos," a new
Goodwin Western, is filled with
enough gun fights, cattle rustlers
and fearless cowboys to satisfy
the most blood thirsty Of those
who take their adventure from
the printed page.
According to Ed Earl Repp, the
author, a strip of fertile land
along the Eastern base Of the Ell
Pasos is the haunt of gang Of
ruthless outlaws. The original
cattlemen had been forced from
their ranches by the ruStlers.
It had been thieves paradise
until Montana Larkin and Bull
Tate entered the valley to stake
claim. Their fight to hold onto
their legal rights is the basis for
the story and a tough battle it
was.

After that treaty of peace Of
Paris it was not long until hostili.

United States and England, the
war of 1912. which saw the Brit

the White House and Capitol.
Finally the Treaty Of Client
was signed, bringing that war to
an end-allthough, because OF the
difficulty Of transportation and
communication, the battle Of New
Orleans was fought after the
peace had been signed. That
treaty is another of the valued
historical documents in the Ar

the West

Katherine Rollins, author Of
Loves Tapestry" has placed the
locale of her new romance, Honey"
moon PATH" in the picturesque
setting Of the western hills.
Hugh had come West to reclaim
his grandfather's ranch. He was
disillusioned. Life seemed trivial
to him. With him he brought his
only friend Don.
Don's nerves had been shattered
by the war and but for the inter
vention Of romance the story
would have been a tale Of the
comeback of the two men as they
fought side by side to reeStablish
the old ranch.
But Pats plane ran out Of gas
and she landed on the isolated
homestead, Hugh and Don were
working on. From then on
romance takes full sway Of the
story and steadily builds the tale
to it's glarlorouS climax.

OF interest to scholars of

FOreslUOre War

In the vault reposes the Kellogg
BRAND pact, with the signatures
of the leading diplomats of the
world, Secretary Kellogg, Aristide
BRAND and others. And close by is
the ratification of Abyssinia,
written in a strange language
similar to that of primitive
times.
These two nations, now on the
verge of war, only a few years
ago foreswore war, as these two
documents give mute evidence,
another proof that what states
men and nations may say they
do not always mean.
If italy and AbySsinia do 90 to
war-and it seems inevitable
there is a question as to what
action Japan will play in that
war. The signature of Japan is
on that Kellogg-Briand pact. But
in the fireproof vaults where
these historic treaties and docu-
mentS are kept, is one that
shows how comparatively recent
it is that Japan has taken a
part in world affairs.
1t is only 81 years ago that a
squadron Of United States war
ships sailed into Yeddo Bay
under the leadership of Com.
mander Perry. Before that time
the Japanese had frowned on
foreign relations,
But Commodore Perry, sailor
and diplomat changed that. And
in that change. although he did
not know it. he upset the bal.
ance Of world power.
In faded writing, but with the
signature m. c. Perry" standing
out boldly, he drew UP a treaty
that opened Japan to the world.
The treaty ends:
Done at Kanagawa this
fnlrty.first day Of March in the
year Of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
One thousand eight hundred
and fifty.fOur and Of Kayei, the
Seventh year, third month and

And thus is launched the grad
uation edition of Nathalia Cranes
group of poems in the ninth print
ing. The first was given to the
public in May, 1924. Nathalia was
hardly more than 10 years old at
that time and the result was a
sensation.
Interest has never Jagged in
this girls directness and power
Even at this late date those who
have not had the opportunity to
read her musings are delighted
and, above all, amused.
The power Of her expression is
in the Tilt of her songs. The sub
jects are amazing and her mastery
of English is a delight to those
who seek for beauty with q tongue
in the cheek. Nathalia Crane will
be read and reread even if she
stops producing at this very mo-
ment.
However, those who have felt
the unrest in her straightforward
phrases are looking forward with
a strange eagerness to the publica'
ton of more mature efforts from
her pen.
