NEW YORK. November 7.-De-
pressed economic conditions in the u
American republics are gradually be-
ing dissipated." Secretary Of State
Cordell Hull said today as he and
other delegates from the United States
boarded the s. s. American Legion

Peace Conference at Buenos Aires.
Secretary Hull issued the following
statement:
"Our delegation to the Inter- Amer
ican Peace Conference Is sailing today
with earnest hope for placing the rela-
tions of this hemisphere upon q firmer
basis Of mutual trust and cooperation
than ever before.
Ground for Confidence.
"There is good ground for this con-
fidence. A strong feeling of mutual
understanding prevails throughout the
hemisphere and there is a growing
realization by the peoples of the 81
American republics of their common
interests in the peaceful and orderly
progress Of civilization.
"The great republic of Argentina
has extended an invitation to the
other 20 American republics to meet
in Buenos Aires to consider, in accord
ance with the suggestions of President
Roosevelt, the means whereby peace
may best be safeguarded.
Although substantial progress has
already been made by the establish

Roads leading toward Madrid were
packed with legionaries and Moors
marching to the front.
As they marched forward, Socialist
artillerymen occasionally dropped
shells among them-but most of them
were duds.
The main attack centered around
the vast military camp in the Cara
banchel area. There the insurgents
claimed the capture of the Aviation
School Barracks. the military radio
station with its four lofty towers and
an infantry encampment.

Crime

Murder. A rather mystifying
one. BY the poison method.
That Is the prime requisite for
good mystery story. And 30,
K. 8. Cole has Q murder, by
poison, in I'm Afraid I'll Live"
But. as can well be imagined
from the title, there Is something
frivolous about the whole book
In order to make it seem
plausible, it happens In Paris.
Those Immediately concerned are
a group Of SophiSticateS. They
drink and they drink and they
eat only the higher things that
come from Kitchens. They are
always having parties. In fact,
the murder Is carried out at one
Of the widest Of the parties. And
everyone is so sophisticated that
it takes you q long time to make
up your mind that the murder
really was committed and that
you are the least interested.
At any rate 1t is something new
In mystery novels. It's bright and
keen and sometimes witty to the
extreme. Even II you don't care
about the murder you will want
to find out how anyone could
solve anything In q society 50
complicated as the one set forth
here.

'Whata Word
EntertainS

War has been declared.
The battle cry has been sounded.
Will you join?
II you have half Of the sense Of
humor that you think you have
you will really relish this call to
arms. It has been issued by none
other than A. p. Herbert, member
Of Parliament. He was elected by
the voters Of Oxford University.
Just before this event happened
he published his latest book,
What a Word" And the battle
he bawlS so Justify about is his pub
lie attack on the person or persons
who use the wrong word in the
wrong place. When author took
office he expressed himself in this
manner on education:
81 have recently published an
educational work against the
corruption Of the English lam
guage. From my place in the
house Of commons shall be able
to keep q close watch upon one
of the chief centcrs Of mischief"
And 50 to Mr.. Herbert's book.
Truly it is written in pedagogical
style. Containing short lectures,
numerous examples Of bad and
good English and then exercises.
The catch, however, is the fact
that it is written in such q sly
laughable manner that If it were
introduced into the public school
systems Of today, the pupils would
probably learn something about
our language in spite Of them
selves.
Mr.. Herbert says unequivocally
that politicians and journalists are
the worst offenders when it comes
to handling the language that no
one seems to know . great deal
about.
After having laughed almost
every current error to death, Mr..
Herbert proceeds at the end of
his volume to give entrance ex.
aminations for words, phrases, and
uSages seeking admission to the
English Language" in which he
shows you, very forcefully, how
to decide whether you should say
it or not. On the whole a de-
lightful contribution to the non
fiction field.

One Of the most interesting
groups Of paintings and prints is
the one portraying the battle be-
tween the Monitor and the Merri-
mac. Several other interesting
phases Of American naval history
are recorded in old paintings and
prints.
The President also has one Of
the largest collections Of Currier

interesting, perhaps, being q pic

the gun 'Peace-Maker' on board
the U. s. Steam Frigate Prince
ton, 1874, by which melancholy
accident" the then Secretary Of
State and Secretary Of Navy and
others were instantly killed and
many injured.
Many Of the prints in the col
lection were made In the very
early nineteenth century, while
some are Japanese prints and
other pictures are made on cloth
and q number Of similar novelties.
The ship models comprise one
Of the most interesting phases Of
the exhibition. Two Of the mod
els are more than q century old.
One, a model Of the bark Mary,
was built about 1927 by Capt.
Isaac Delano, Of Marion, Mass.
The other is q model Of the U. 8.
s. Constitution, made in the wash
ington Navy Yard shortly after
the War Of 1912.
Invited by the trustees Of the
gallery, the President lent his col
lection to the gallery for a month.
The exhibition will continue
through May 8.

on exhibition ct the Corcoran
Gallery Of Art.
The scene Of Miss. Riley's pretty
paintings are laid in Mexico, in
the almost tropical sunlight.
Miss Riley has caught the bril-
lance Of that sun, the blue skies
and the brilliant vegetation it
brings with it. She therefore uses
. brilliant green and Q brilliant
blue in all Of her water colorS,
which make them pleasing and
attractive.
The artist has been successful
In recreating the hillineSS Of the
Mexican streets, with their peril
ouSly perched houses.
Miss Riley's exhibition will con-
tinue through April 10.
A native Of Washington, she
studied oil painting under Birge
Harrison and Henry B. Smell, and

It ID no detraction from Mr..
Davis maSterful handling Of the
story to suggest that he chose for
his vehicle one Of the most thrill
ling pages from the saga Of our
nation.
Crammed into the short space
Of his volume are such shocking
accounts Of the masSacreS Of
Alamo and Goliad, the hegira Of
the non-combatant colonists, the
weary battle Sam Houston fought
against diStrust, diSobedience and
inaction and the glorious victory
ct San Jacinto.
Mr.. Davis tells two stories. He
tells Of the love and life Of Mark
Lyle, Q trusted lieutenant Of the
beloved general and he tells OF
the struggle Of Texas. Skillfu1ly
the author has intermingled the
threads of these two stories so
that they move back and forth like
the wool and welt Of . brightly
colored cloth.
