THE MARCEAU CASE. BY Harry

Dutton g. Co.
THIS book is announced as embody-
ing a new formula Of mystery
technique and the reader is advised
that a sealed page" at the back Of the
volume, to be opened only when the
story is finished, holds an important
announcement as to the potentialities
Of this new method. No one, surely,
is so hardened of heart that he will
regard the announcement Of publish
ers as to the superiorities Of their new
mystery tales with lackluster eye;
the reviewer, at least, considers it an

when Hugo Fassler, guest conductor

NOT TOO NARROW NOT TOO
DEEP. BY Richard Sale. New
York: Simon g. Shuster.
THIS book starts as If it were going
to be a story Of physical adven-
ture. Its scene of action is convict
island in the Caribbean, where 10
men are planning an escape. In its
early chapters, however. it turns into
an immature essay in mysticism.
This happens when the author intro
duces a mysterious character who
heals the bodily and unphysical ills
of the escapers and transforms the
boatload of desperate criminals into
a quiet, determined little group of
missionaries. This Is not exaggera-
ton. It is the authors own story,
stated briefly.
Mr.. Sale writes with a certain neat
ness. Inasmuch as books which deal
with the subject Of mental healing
have oftentimes been popular, it is
not unlikely that this work may win
q favorable reception.

be disproved and that an entirely diff
ferent settlement Of the same crime
can be reacaed-which settlement
will appear in a new book to be pub
lished June /, and called TX. Jones
of Scotland Yard" That. somehow,
seems like q good idea. Each book
will be an independent story, the page
continues, so that it will not be neces-
sary to read one to understand the
other.
As to the story itself, it is unusual
and absorbing. The footprints which
lead to the dead body. for example,
are the size of those of an infant.
And so on. One doubts very much
that many readers will guess it.
WHAT A WORD! BY A. p. Herbert.
Garden City: Doubleday, Doran
g. Co.
THIS Is highly amusing outcry
against current ill-usages of the
long-suffering mother tongue, and to
any one whose fate it is to read regu-
larly a great body of miscellaneous
writings, it must surely bring JOY. The
horrid jargon known as business Eng
lish," the elaborate follies Of govern
mental communications, certain con-
ventions Of newspaper writers-all
these sins against English and many
others are set forth In a vein Of sor-
rowful indignation. Mr.. Herbert IS
distinguished as a humorist of polish
and precision. His book ought to be
read seriously. none the less.

ouislds Chicago in Cook County appEOKimateiy so0OO0 urban voter1 are on the books. 1Gr. Roosevelt is believed by his supporters to Dc strongest in urban, industrial areas, fl SO, the increased registration would appear to favor his chances. The 10l counties outside Chicago and its smaller Cook County com munities might give Mfr. Landon a fet majority and stu fail to win for him.
 That Mir. Roosevelt will carry Cook County seems likely. Repub- licans have nothing in the county or city except membership on a few boards which require minority party representation.

assurance that T won't permit King George of England to stick his nose in here" It was irrelevant but effective.
 Warren Phinney, veteran Daily News political writer, and others told me Thompson was in the race to submarine the republican gub- ernatorial candidacy of 0. Wayland Brooks. So vote for Thompson probably will be a vote for Henry Horner, the democratic candidate for governor, because Thompson heretofore has been a republican and presumably will draw votes from members of that party. Father Coughlin is avoiding purely state contests in Illinois and has not en- dorsed Thompson. But the full force of Coughlinite opposition is playing against Mir. Roosevelt in Illinois. The priest spoke here recently and had crowd estimated at close to 5000 persons, a tremendous poli- tical turnout. I was told his follow ing, especially in Chicago, was drawn largely from persons who voted for MT. Roosevelt in 1892. His opposition will trouAle democrats on election day.
 Democrat Family Fight
 A family fight among democrats is another potential source of trotl- ble. Democratic boss Patrick A. Nash and Chicago's Mayor Edward J. Kelly decided this year to aban- don Governor Horner. Against him in the primary they put Dr. Her. man Niels Bundesden, president of the city's board of health. Horner had supported an honest election bill which party bosses feared might strip the gears of their machine. There were other differences. But the Chicago machine and Bundesen lost to Homer and he again is the democratic candidate for governor.
 Whether Nash and Kelly will cut Horner on election day, and if SO whether the general confusion of scratching ticket will reduce MT. Roosevelt'S vote are questions to be answered when the ballots are counted. Kelly is saying nothing and Nash sits at machine controls on the 16th floor of the Morrison hotel in a setting of guarded doors, lettering henchmen and secrecy which would suit the cinema as 8 picture of 8 typical party boss headquarters. Democrats believe Boss Nash is manipulating his machine so that MT. Roosevelt will carry Cook County (Chicago) by 300,000 to 100000 votes.
 Chicago's Big Vote
 Unpredictable is effect of tremen- dously increased registration under Illinois new permanent registration law. Chicago normally does not poll 8 majority of Illinois votes. It may do so this time. Registrations in the city now aggregate 1,750,000 com- pared with 1,498,000 a year ago.
