THE BOOK SHELF

tablished. 1.-THE Olive Field" con-
tinues the story of Spain through
the critical years of 1882 to the
temporary defeat Of the workers
cause in the October, 1884, strug-
gle. For the sequel to Bates mar
rative, read your papers today.
For weeks they have been full of
that most bitter of all conflicts,
war between brother and brother
of identical racial ties The work
ers, who finally captured govern
mental control, now are defending
their beliefs with their lives against
the Rightist and Fascist elements
who have leagued together against
a Socialist Spain.
A reference such as this to cur
rent events is essential in any re-
view of Bates book, for it itself is
as much a part of this moving
world as any present disturbance
on the surface of the globe we call
the earth. Bates, who knows Spain
inside out, who himself penetrated
and worked with the very revolu
tionary groups of which he writes,
has poured out a rich share from
his store Of understanding in 1.-THE
Olive Field" In it appears the
Spain of history and tradition, the
Spain of modern peasant and in
dustrial peonage, fiestas, religious
professions, hot blooded lovers,
proud hidalgos - color, warmth,
pulsating life. The book is incred-
IDLY prolix, the writing in some
passages purple" and melodra-
matte, but it is prolixity that
enchants and amazingly repro
duces the country that is Spain. 1t
is writing that is in key with the
spirit and tempo of Spanish blood.
In 1.-THE Olive Field appears the
love story of two anarchists, close
ly bound by friendship but es-
tranged by passion for the same
woman. This theme is given
prominent position but properly is
subdued and subordinated to the
great underlying class struggle Of
Spanish workers, landowners,
clergy and industrialists. 1t is
Bates emphasis on this struggle
in Spain, struggle taking place
with greater or less intensity in
every country today, that makes
1.-THE Olive Field" dominant
landmark in the 1886 literary land
scape.

FLYING SQUADS
TO CIRCUMVENT
SUICIDES URGED

OAKLAND, U.P) = A movement
to create a nationwide organiza-
ton for prevention of suicide has
been launched here by the Rev.
Robert Rehkugel, "a, retired Meth
odist minister.
When his plans are completed, he
hopes to see the entire nation COW
cred by flying squadrons" of
young people, even more numerous
than Boy Scout organizations,
whose duty it will be to watch cease
lessly for others who are in the
throes of mental depression that
might lead eventually to suicide.
But this is only one aspect of the
gigantic movement and organiza-
tion that he has set out to achieve.
The Rev. Rehkugel has made Off
cial reservations with state govern
ments for the name of his organ
ization, which will be as follows
I'm Cooperation with the
Churches, the Suicide Prevention
Society of America, Incorporated"
81 believe in foreign missions"
declares the Rev. Rehkugel, but
if the Africans or Indians, for
whom we save money, saw our sui
eide rate, they would tell our mis-
sionaries to go back home"
Among the objectives that the
minister expects to attain in the
accomplishment of his project are:
A nationwide publicity campaign,
carried on by the press, churches,
theater, radio and lecture plat
form.
Adoption of Suicide Prevention
Sunday" in every state.
Creation of a permanent nation
al government fund to be known as
THE Anti-Suicide Endowment Fund
of America"
Establishment of suicide preven-
ton institutes and of "anti-suicide
patrols-companies of young men
and women, specially trained, Or
ganized and pledged to save those
ready or tempted to perish by their
own hands, and restore them to
their families and homes.
Cooperation of the medical world
and the churches will also be
sought, says the Rev. Rehkugel.
AS the nucleus of his organiza-
ton he hopes to obtain not only the
cooperation but constant services
of at least 1000 clergymen, perman-
emily retired, or otherwise with
out pastorates, who can devote their
entire time either to speaking or
writing against suicide, in an ell
fort to convince potential self de
structorS that society really wants
and needs them.
For years 1 watched the suicide
rate" says the minister, land wish
ed something could be done about
it. Then two years ago, the sui
eide of a prominent young Califor-
MIA woman finally determined me"
The Rev. Rehkugel was born in
Germany. While still a youth he
ioined the Salvation Army at Stutt-
CART. A little later, because of his
knowledge of English, he was sent
to Berlin. There, while working
with the Salvation Army, he was
transferred to the United States and
began at once a course in theology.
He was ordained a minister in 1907.
His first pastorates were at Troy,
N. Y, and Baltimore, until he came
west where he served as pastor IN
st. Andrews and the German
Salem church here. He was retired
about two years ago.
The Rev. Rehkugel has collected
facts and statistics on suicides for
years and plans to use these as
scientific basis for laying out his
campaign for nationwide organ
ization and movement against self
destination

Wilhelm, 27-year-old Oregonian,
Imperial Valley press., 1936-08-30

whose first book, I'VE Too Are
Drifting" created some critical stir
for it's stylistic treatment OF a
homosexual theme, again conSld-
ers the problems and life OF a
woman in love. This time, in a
book entitled mo Letters for the
Dead" (Random House,, her sub
iect is Paula, who takes up prosti-
tuition as an economic necessity until
her man gets out of the prison to
which he has been sent for the
death of his wife.
Miss Wilhelm's consideration OF
Paula is entirely feminine and as
such is reminiscent of Virginia
Woolf's writings Her approach
varies between the first and third
person. with the emphasis on the
former and on the subjective
thought processes of her single
character-for Paula is the only
individual receiving attention suf-
ficient to establish her as a per-
sonality. Miss Wilhelm also makes
good use of the letter device-epis-
ties written to her Koni behind the
bars-to emphasize sharply the
mental gulf separating Paula's pro-
fession and Paula's love.
Perusal of this short novel re.
suits in complete conviction that
the author is skillful and accu-
rate interpreter Of feminine
psychology and moods Its very
brevity and paradoxical severe
intensity create an emotional i'm
pact that is genuine and moving
At the same time, however Miss
Wilhelm's careful and exclusive
selection of material and method
has led to semi-artificiality that
dull to considerable extent the
fine edge of her technique. Her
publishers indicate that she is
working on a noval of greater
length and scope" When it is pub
lished, critics and the general read
ing public should be able to judge
Miss Wilhelm's ability and rank
as creative artists more fairly
on conclusively.

Proper blowing and running rows

the terraces.
When plowing, divid: the space
between two terraces into three
lands or sections, said ~. \. Trl-

the idea seems to be quite preva-

find: most lice, to the casual obser-

glass;, due to the small size of the

ITO make my point clearer, let

that a louise, found bn a Red
Shouldered hawk, would not live
on the body of a Cooper's hawk,
although both hawks are closely
related. A louise fbund on an Eng
fish sparrow, would not get along

Ruby Throated Hummingbird has
a louise species az a resident, that
louise would not live on the body OF

most birds and animals do have

PESTS ON BIRDS DO
NOT AFFECT HUMANS

The idea that swallows, bats, fly
ing squirrels and other wild animals
and birds carry on their bodies such
pests as bed-bugs and lice of var
ious kinds and that these birds and
animals actually bring them into
human Initiation, to the detriment
of the human race, is nothing but
superstitution, according to George
B. Lay, Junior Biologist at State
College.
"Most of our native birds carry
at least one species of louise, some
times more than one; and often on-
species from each of the two Or
ders of chewing lice and sucking
lice. Usually, each species or group
of birds has a particular kind of
louise as a permanent resident or
occasional visitor; and such lice, it
they try to get along on a differ
ent species or group pf birds, find
the food not to their liking and

For this reason, man is not
troubled by the insect pests of wild
birds and animals. Bats do carry
such pests, in at least two orders bf

The second land should be start
ed 6 to II feet above the terrace
channel and furpows thrown uphill
away from the channel.
This leaves the dead furrow at
the terrace channel and keeps the
channel clear, said Tribou. The
starting point for the second land
can be varied a few feet each year
to avoid forming a ridge above the
channel.
To give the burrows the same
slope as the terraces, land ; is
plowed parallel TO the other two
lands.
Row crops following the same
direction as the burrows protect the
terraces against breaks.
Tribou suggests coating one row
along the top of the ridge leaving
the channel clear for the flow OF

Comp|ete Information Aids
In Testing Of Soils

When farmers send samples tc
the North Carolina Experiment
Station, it is necessary that COM
plete information be furnished SO
that a comprehensive analysis may
be made.
Letters accompanying the SAM
pies, says L. G. Willis, soil chemist
at the Station, usually give some
information as to the crops affect
ed and previous doll treatments but
other important details are often
lacking.
The soil chemist points out tina.
it is important to know whether the
trouble occurs all over a field or
only some parts of it. 1t rs usually
necessary to report the appearance
of the crops, whether corn has
striped leaves or the stalks break
over, whether the leaves of other
GRIPS burn around the edges or are
colored yellow or red or whether
the injury is found at the bottom
or the top of the plant.

of extra work will be needed to
keep birds in good condition thru
out the summer, and the owner will
be repaid many times over for hi

Cows Need vitamin A
To Maintain Their Health

Cows, like humans, need green
leaves in their ration to supply VI
tamin A and other essentials which
are necessary for good health, says
DR.. Frank Sherwood, animal nutrl-
ZIONIST at the North Carolina Ex-
pertinent Station.
Vitamin A can be supplied bes,
and most economicallyby a pastur.
or a good quality Of hay. Not a
bleached, pale-colored one contain
ing a lot of woody stems, says DR..
Sherwood, but a bright green leafy
hay.
Too often owners feed their COWS
almost nothing but cotton seed
meal and hulls during the fall and
winter months when there is little
or no green feed available. Cows
fed this almost exclusively often
contracts a condition which some
call "cottonseed meal poisoning
Dr.. Sherwood points out that
such a condition might occur to

ties found in this work is that OF
determining whether the crop fail
ure is caused by a soil condition or
a disease, Willis says. Sometimes
these are associated and sometimes
the disease is independent of any
known soil condition.
When the samples are sent in
during the summer, the farmer has
more information to supply the
Station than if he sent the sample
during the winter. In the summer
he can observe growing conditions
and report these accurately. In
the winter this is not possible, and
the farmer may forget the actual
growing conditions of the sum-
mer before.
The work of testing soil samples
cannot be carried on in a large way
at the Experiment Station because
of the limited funds for such pur-
pose, explains Willis. However,
those that do send samples can do
their part by giving complete in
formation.
