hammering, painting and saving at
its work in as lively and spirited a
fashion as are any of the other Fed
eral projects. Preparation for the
Washington marionette festival is the
force behind this burst of speed and
enthusiasm in the puppeteers.
The festival, which is to take place

Evening star., 1936-03-28

It is a long book, longer than Is
needful for the purposes of any story
which it contains, if considered purely
as story. However. Miss Holtby evi-
IDENTIFY wished her real plot to be the
movement of progress in rural Eng
lish community rather than the move
ment of life in any particular char
acter She has drawn her characters
clearly, but she shows them to us as
carried forward on the stream of their
community's advance and their in
tereSt Is Centered in the particular
manner in which that advance affected
them. She has not cared to present
them as Independent men and women.
That has not been part of the purpose
Of her book.
Her community is South Riding, and
South Riding, she says. has the ele-
mentS that are typical Of rural Eng
land today. It has its reactionary
feudal farmer, whose people have lived
on the same acres for 500 years 1t
has its modern capitalist. 1t has its
Socialist. 1t has its tradesmen, its de-
preston victims. 1t has its grand old
lady. The streams of their lives
mingle in the County Council and the
novel is worked out through the de-
liberations of that body.
1t sounds typical but, curiously, it is
not. 1t escapes that through the OBJ
vious passionate attachment which the
author has for the people whom she
is portraying. While she brings her
community at last to hopeful future,
and while she has endowed her story
with passing humor in plenty, she has
still embued it with deep sadness.
She has mourned over her land, as If
she loved it so that the death of the
past that is needful If progress is to
take place had hurt her, even as she
Evening star., 1936-03-28

herself speaks for progress. This
makes passionate writing, and her
book has that incompatible quality.
South Riding is a serious" novel,
but it is more than that It is book
with poetic feeling in its concept and
execution. 1t has more life than any
of its characters. Indeed, they live
through it; it endows them with its
own richness. One does not care for
any of them particularly. as one reads,
but for the book one will feel, neces-
sarily, both respect and affection.
AMERICA GOES TO PRESS. BY
Laurence Greene. Indianapolis:
Bobbs-Merrill Co.
THIS book is as interesting a piece
of non-fiction as has come to hand
in a long time. It is q collection of
newspaper accounts of important
events in American history. The first
one reads as follows:
ION Monday last, at IL o'clock, the
Declaration of Independence was pro-
claimed at the State House In this
city, in the presence Of many thou
sand spectators, who testified their ap-
probation by repeated acclamations.-
Pennsylvania Gazette
From that point on we proceed to
accounts Of the battle of Yorktown,
the burning of the Capitol in 1912,
the Alamo, the discovery Of gold, the
Custer slaughter, the Johnstown flood,
the murder of Stanford White and
the Titanic disaster and many others.
With each story here republished the
author has also given an account of
the conditions Of news gathering In
that time. About the reporting Job
in Colonial times he remarks:
"@ II dust can feel. the editors
Of the Revolutionary press should
lie quietly-almost smugy-in their
graves. Printing upon presses which
q modern letter duplicator would put
to shame, telling their stories In awk-
ward and unincisive types, hampered
by the primitive communications that
brought them domestic news weeks
late and foreign news months after It
happened, they recorded with clear
prophecy the significance. and the
drama Of their times. . When
history was in the making they recog-
ni1ed and identified It,"
And there is truly . surprising, an
almost unaccountahle freshness In
these contemporary accounts Of Paul
Revere's ride, for example, and the Bos-
ton tea party and the battles Of Lex
inzton and Concord. They are

their untailing instinct for the human

many aspects of Indian life, portray
ing, as they do, scenes from the cities,
palaces of princes, native marriages
and funeral rites, political dennonstra-
tions and riots, worship in temples,
examples of various castles, famous
ruins and so on. On the whole it Is
a combining of the gruesome and the
lovely, such as most of us like to find
in books about strange lands. Despite
its pictorial character, however, and
the simplicity of its text. one would
not recommend THE Face of Mother
India" as book to be shown to chill
dren.

strong. New York: Harper &

THIS is the biography of Gen. Leo
Keresselidze, one of the patriots
in modern times of the tiny country,
Georgia, in its struggle against absorp-
ton by Russia. It is written roman
tically and in unqualifiedly hero
worshiping style. but it still Is an ex-
citing story. Gen. Keresseldze's life
has been one of "uner ding battle"
quite literally-a life Of fighting in the
open and plotting behind closed doors,
a life Of the narrowest Ct escapes and
frequent violence, life Of the kind
which captures the imagination and
about which romantic legends in
evitably grow up, the life of bandit
chief. The author. who has been his
friend. sets the story down much as

The Board feels that all depositors will

conditions permit the Board will be glad to
authorize such higher interest rate as may

board today. Under the proposed
school budget, cost of operation
