With q deft, nghtnlngllKe move
ment, the finger sweeps across the
page, communicating the thought OF
the writer instantly to the brain OF
the reader.
To see q skilled reader Of Braille in
action that is so truly astonishing
in the light Of the known cost and
difficulty of producing books for him
is to wonder that there could be
hope of keeping the library adequate
" stocked. There is such q hope
always in the hearts Of those sponsor
ing the work. An inspiration like
that of those they serve always lights
their path.
Libraries for the blind must be pub
lie. When one copy Of novel. sucn
as Sinclair Lewis Main Street" costs
500, transcribed into Braille, 1t Is
obvious that private library Is an
impossibility. One copy so expensive
necessarily must belong to all the
blind. Or, to use a more convinc-
ing illustration, the single copy OF
Anthony Adverse" Is fabulously be-
yond the possibility of ownership by
e99 out of 1000 victims Of blindness.
It's production in Braille cost the L.
brary here $375.
why should Braille books be SO ex-
pensive? Certainly it is not because
the item Of labor cost is large. Blind
workers in the National Library work.

where, receive but 6 cents a page for
transcription Of the works which are
slowly read to them as they sit at their
work benches. 1t is slow work, part Of
its slowness dictated by the extreme
care which must be used, for typo
graphical errors are to be avoided In
such books. The more skilled Of the
blind transcribers can make as much
as $1.50 day, the average about
$l.20. There are, moreover. q host OF

and the McLintys are the characters.
The time is the period during which
some old houses on the block are be-
ing raZed. The action is bit OF
everybody's life, coming to an unroari-
GUS finale when Tony Minoni saves
his fellow -workmen's lives in the East
River Tunnel and becomes a hero
"just like Columbus" whereat, with
the participation of the local Tam
many organization, the population
throws marvellous block party.
A better piece Of description than
Mr.. Dratler's account of that party
need not be sought. For a like appre-
citation of the particular brand of abb
surdity which is New York's, you will
have to go back to your o. Henry. And
that would seem about to cover the
case. For true realism that still con-
centrates on other aspects of poverty
than the sordid. this book can be
heartily recommended.
THE LOST GENERATION. BY Max
inc Davis. New York: The Mac
milan Co.
TN this book we have the account
of one more journalist who, in a
Cheap secondhand car" travelled
many miles across our districted land,
seeking out what might be wrong with
us. This book. however, has a distinct
individuality in that its author, as
may be judged from her title, has been
chiefly interested in the young people
of our time, those young people who
have grown up in day when employ
ment opportunities are rare and family
funds for education have often been
curtailed.
What are they doing? she asks.
And in pursuit of her answer she
visited many such places as were in
vestigated by her predecessors at this
kind of writing-schools, juvenile
courts and public and private agencies.
She describes her findiugs in such
terms as must be believed-the young
people are faithless, leaderless and
growing toward intellectual atrophy
through prolonged inactivity.
So far so good. The knowledge Is
no discovery, but it is valuable here
in being set down with clarity and
compactness.
What then? Miss Davis frankly
does not know. She says that she
does not concede that there are no
more frontiers" But beyond saying

product. For that very reason. its
sociological significance is so sorrow
fully impressive.
It Is fine book and one which
ought to do much toward adding to
our understanding Of our nearest
Oriental neighbor.
IN FAR JAPAN. BY Frank H Hedges.
Toxic: The Hokuseido Press.
THIS book IS in marked contrast to
the one reviewed above. or any
Of those mentioned in that review. 1t
does not treat Of modern Japan, but
deals instead. in vein Of poetic nos
talgia. with the Japan which has. with
in recent decades. almost wholly van
ished, and which. the author feels, will
soon be gone completely. That is the
Japan of the plum and cherry blossom
festivals, the rickshaw, the wayside
shrine and the kimono-the romantic
Japan, in other words, the Japan of
Madame Butterfly" The essays are
tenderly done. and it is plain that Mr..
Hedges regrets the passing of culture
that made so profoundly fetch Of
beauty.
OF modern Japan he says only a
little. Young Japan" he remarks,
''is in rebellion.
THE standard that has been raised
is Liberalism. But the design
and the pattern of the standard are
not clear cut. Liberalism is a
very vague idea to most of Young
Japan, which is striking out blindly at
what seems substance but may prove
only form"
Beyond these apprehensive observa-
tions he deals little with the present.
But to those who have known the
island in its other days his book ought
to hold a store of highly agreeable
memories.

write of the extent to which the be-

HAIL, CAESARl By Fletcher Pratt.
New York: Harrison Smith and
Robert Haas.
THIS fine biography of Julius Caesar
ought to move readers of stone to
enthusiasm. To 60 through it is to
have Rome made more real to you
than your own government ordinarily
is. 1t makes splendid-gorgeous-
reading.
1t takes in the whole gallery of men
and women whose lives impinged on
that OF Caesar-Cicero, Cataline,
Vercingetorix, Cleopatra, Brutus, Cas-
sius-all Of them. But they are not
done in the familiar fiat. They are
rounded, vivid and humorous. In
fact, to use quaint critical clinche,
they are alive.
After that, one can only repeat that
1t is biography of Julius Caesar. You
remember him. He was the man who,
when he fell, brought down the Roman
republic with him. An enlightened
fellow he was, but too popular. Mr..
Pratt says that he began life as
radical. When, however, he could not
get cooperation" he took things into
his own hands. This is not the only
evidence in the present work that he
possessed a sense of humor.
VINCENT VAN GOGH. BY Walter

and 6 plates in full color. New

THIS small book contains brief
= biography of the famous painter
It's author has frequently lectured on
Van Gogh at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. and, more important, was really
the first man to write or lecture on
Van Gogh in America. His essay here
is not too technical piece Of criticism
for the average reader, and. in view OF
the current awareness of Van Gogh's
work, his book would seem likely to
be arresting to good public. Author
itative and understanding, it would be
worth having at any time.
FEAR IS THE THORN. BY Rachel
Field. New York: The Macmil-

THIS small volume Of verse is OF a

full, polished variety, built around
whimsical and fragile thoughts. Some
times, one feels a Millay influence In
her verse, sometimes she comes nearer
to Dickinson. However, she Is neither
of these by a long measure, but Is
still a very pleasant poet. Her pres
ent volume has such amicable quail
ties that one feels that it might be-
come a popular seller" That per-
haps describes it better than any other
phrasing.
THE RED HOUSE MYSTERY. BY
A. A. Milne. New York: Z. P.
Dutton g. Co.
THE engaging creator of winnie

his first attempt at writing OF the
esoteric practices involved in crime
detection. He has turned out a nice,
neat little tale, but diSappointingly
without thrills. Moreover, his bright
young man, Antony Gillingham. who
solves the not so dreadful mystery. Is
a trifie too gay, too cheerio and too
ready to mock at the good gray mas
ter of Baker street. Outraged senti-
ment protests when he and his friend.
Bill, finally take to calling each other
Sherlock and Watson-outraged sem
timent and perhaps also the feeling
that an author really ought to write
his own book. However, as one has

enjoyment.

IOH believes.
Behind Horizons belief is the
history of the oldest drugstore
in the county, the Valley Drug
company at the corner of Main
and Fifth streets, Ell Centro. 1t
was the first drugstore established
in Ell Centro. For 80 years it has
been on the same corner. 1t has
been owned for the last seven
years by Horton, who, however,
was connected with the store much
earlier.
Latest practical demonstration of
Horizons belief in progress is the
air cooling system installed in
the store, obtaining for it the dis
tinction of being the first COM
pletely air colled drugstore in the
valley. Other marks of progress
scattered through the history of
Horizons ownership are enlarged
capacity. modern display cases,
new chrome upholstered chairs
with matching tables, and greater
fountain capacity.

All this has been necessary, Hor-
ton explained, to provide for the
comfort and service of approXim-
ately 1900 persons day who shop
in the drugstore. Twelve full
time employees are on hand to care
for the customers.

established in 1906 in temporary
quarters on Broadway, and moved
