 No official call for the strike has yet been issued but one is in preparatlno. @ r
 The United Press was informed that the call would name persons alleged to be laying the ground work for a future war involving the United States.
 A strike leader made it clear that the walkouts would not be di- rected against college administra- tions except where these are sus- pected of Fascist or Militaristic tendencies. He listed as colleges where the strike is expected to be strongest C. c. N. Y., N. Y. U., Columbia, Vassar, Yale, Harvard, University of Missouri, Johns Hop kins, University of California, Uni versity of Chicago, University of Michigan.
 No high schools were involved in the strike last year but it was said that numerous requests had been received from secondary schools asking their inclusion in the demonstration. An open letter will be sent to boards of educa- tion asking permission for the walkout. tt.tt
 It was said similar strikes are planned in Canada, Cuba, Argent ina, Chile and other nations of the western hemisphere under the en- dorsement of the student congress against war, which met in Belgium, Christmas week.

= ten but because, unlike Union
Square," 1t dealt with social un-
rest in small towns among descen'
dants of a sturdy pioneer stock.
Today we have a sequel, "a
Stone Came Rolling" written with
the same disturbing zeal. The pity
is that the unprejudiced reader
who turns to fiction for entertain.
ment will find it so futile.
1t holds few surprises for peo.
pie already familiar with the trag-
edy Of the underpaid millworker,
and by the same token, it holds
few triumphS for the reader who
demands some share of happiness
for the characters involved.
: Ishma, a heroic, mountain-bred
woman whose heart bleedS for all
the world, is, in truth, a perSuas-
i've figure. She moves and acts
and lives with amazing vitality.
And yet, the one word best describ-
ing IShma is waste. A word well
chosen you discover when on page
381, the author comes forth with
the translation Of her name. IShma
means waste.
And Ishma will not have it so.
That she only cripples herself in
feverish warfare seems beside the
point. She disregardS setbacks and
is grateful for breath enough to
go on with her battle.
It's too bad, therefore, that she
should be indirectly responsible
for her husbands slaughter by
mob violence; that love for her
should lead another fine man to
suicide: that the cause she cham
pions should demand so much and
yield so little.
Some readers who like the ILL.,
fated Britt hunger for a great
unity. preachers with crowds at
their heels, telling people how to
win their earth without losing
their heaven. who like "strike
songs mixed up with sacred ones"
may be enthusiastic about "A
Stone Came Rolling"
The rest will not only be sad
dened by the situation pictured
therein, but will be further de-
pressed by the struggle that brings
no solution.

Mystery and
Blood

There is more blood on the
pages of "The Hex Murder" than
you would expect from one
woman.
1t spreads from the first chap
ter where she is found with her
throat cut in a weltering trail
right up to the unexpected and
startling last sentence.
Forester Hazard has chosen
the recent hex murders in Penn
sylvania as a basis for this mys-
terry. But he goes a little bit
further and lays most Of his
scenes in New York. Central
Park, the tenements and Green.
wich Village are used to advan-
tage.
He sticks close to the reporter
detective school of thought and
keeps away from solving his
riddle by the expert nonchalance
of any fourth demenSioned
minded super sleuth.
The tale Is intriguing and will
give you something to think
about the next time you read Of
another murder in the news
papers.

head of the instrument which
allows the D string to be lowered
by half steps to c.
This device is shown in the
illustration above. The D string
is usually kept tuned to the key
of D, but when occasion demands,
q lever is depressed which releases
the D stop. Then the player may
press any Of the other keys to OBJ
tain tones as low as C. This more
compact and workable extension
does away with the need of a fifth
string in C.
Solo Passages
AS the rate Of change of vibra-
ticn on the strings of the string
bass is slower than even the violon-
cello, fast passages are not so ef-
fective. However, there have been
virtuoso soloistS on this large in
Strument.
The most notable soloist of all
time is Serge Koussevitsky, at pres
ent director of the Boston Sym
phony Orchestra. He has pre-
served for poserity his art by
means of a number of phonograph
recordings.
Occasionally the string-baSSes
are given prominent solo passages,
but it is more than likely to Gre
ate some weird or comic effect.
The famous utterance of the
basseS in the Scherzo of Bee
thoven'S Fifth Symphony Sug-
gested to Hector Berlioz the
gambolingS of elephants.
AS to the name, the instrument
is known by a number of different
names. any one of which may be
correct; double bass, contrabass,
string bass or bass viol. Most of
the violin effects may be per-
formed on this Gargantuan violin,
but with much slower technique.

is a story Of character versus en-

it pretty grim. The idea Subjec.

Patrick is always more Sinned
against than SHINING.
Murder and adultery are his
cardinal crimes, but his father,
whom he killed, was a drunken
brute and women, blondes in par.

In the end he finds redemption
for his crimes by assuming the
burden Of aiding another soul
whose life is almost as barren of
happiness as his own.
