THESE three new volumes in the
Appleton biography series adhere
to the high standard established by
previous volumes. The authors are
especially qualified to write on their
subjects, and write with popular style.
Douglas Woodruff. an oxford man,
formerly lecturer on history at Shelf
field University, treats Charlemagne
both as the romantic figure OF
medieval legend and the founder Of
the Holy Roman Empire Ralph
Bates. musician, traveller and novelist
sees Schubert as the musician who
was the greatest poet there ever was.
Edith Olivier, biographer and nov
elist, has necessarily had to introduce
much imagination into the biography
Of Mary Magdalen. According to her
story, Mary was heir to the castle
of Magdala and married the fisher
man John. When he left to follow
his Master she plunged into career
of vice. from which Jesus saved her
SO that she died saint.

. JAPAN. Constructive Proposals for
Removing the Menace of War. BY
Sidney L. Gulick. New York: The
Macmillan Co.
THE new situation, rather alarming,
- which arises as the Washington
treaty ends, is diagnosed by DR.. Gulick
with insight which is the result of
many years of residence in Japan,
during which he came to understand
japanese psychology, ambitions, Ian
guage, economic problems and political
complications. He was formerly secre-
tary of the Department of Interna-
tional Justice and Good Will of the
Federal Council Of Churches of Christ
in America. After discussing the
policies of the United States toward
Japan, the relation of Japan to in
ternational trade, Japan in Manchuria
and the prediction of war between
Japan and other nations. he offers
some suggestions which might insure
friendly relations and prevent war.
They include the promotion of trade
between the United States and Japan,
a redefinition of American naval
policy, with a revision of ratios; guar
antees of Philippine independence, re-
peal of our Asiatic exclusion law,
recognition of Manchoukuo, an Amer
ican-Japanese non-aggression pact
and q security pact for. the Pacific.

them was the towering Sky Ride.
The two great steel towers, chris

Thermit, a chemical which attains
a heat of 5000 degrees Fahrenheit in
30 seconds, was used to melt the steel
of Andy's legs on one side; then the
pressure of cables caused the metal
giant to fall earthward. Amos, the
other tower, had had his legs dyna-

fore. The operation that time was con-
Quoted at dawn in great secrecy SO
that no one would be hurt. When it
was found that the flying steel fell

engineers, grand-stand was built and

Bows and arrows are almost as

weapon, used as a method Of offense

now mainly used in the sport Of
archery. Only a few savage tribes

Throughout the ages the bow and

Your toaStmaster," said the genial

I've been called the father of night

not. I'm probably the best friend of

Maybe I am planning to save day

that further plans for night base ball

feated by the single vote Of any mem
Der. When the league decides to go
in for night base ball on a big scale,
it will have to unanimous. I hope It

fore Washington college fans
for the first time next season
as q result of the appointment of
william ]. Reinhart as head court
coach and assistant foot ball mentor
at George Washington University.
Although basket ball style is be-
coming more similar. there still is a
difference in the brand of play as
practiced in the East and West, par
ticularly on the Coast, and a contrast
may be noted when the 1886
Colonials take the floor next year.
The trend in the East has been the
professional style, best illustrated
here by Fred Mesmer's Georgetown
quints. The western style Of play
features faster breaking and not quite
as much individual effort.
Reinhart, native Of Cameron, Mo-,
and former player under Athletic
Director Jim Pixlee of George Wash

was varsity basket ball coach at the
University Of Oregon for II years
after starring in three sports, foot
