Although Friend has no title cat2-
logue. he has an index Of pictures
printed in National Geographic for
school children who are asked to make

can produce one in moment. -.
Sometimes hobby followers, such as
members Of ship model building clubs,
look through hundreds of old maga-
zines seeking such things as pictures
of a particular kind of vessel.
SECONDHAND magazine shops, IL
seems, are of use to many persons
other than those who merely want TO
keep their reading budget low. Authors
sometimes search for old issues con-
tanning articles or stories they have
published, Friend says, and an adyer-
tising man came in not long ago and
went through 6-foot stacks of period
icals until he found picture Of a man
sitting in a chair that was Just what
he wanted.
Friend gets his stocks from custom
ers. distributors and patrons Of his
magazine exchange, and all sorts OF
readers have him watching for copies
they need to complete sets, collectors
being more interested in preserving
Fortune, Esquire, the New Yorker,
Readers Digest and National Geo
graphic than other publications.

Of Readers Digest. He says he heard
Of some one paying $4,000 for the first

to keep everything. some Of the stuff
he handles might be valuable years
from now, he says, but as it is he sells
piles of discarded fiction to paper COM

A magazine exchange conducted by
the shop Is gaining in popularity, no
cash being involved. Bring in three
magazines and take one away, is the
system. Some magazines acceptable
for exchange must be dated within two
months, and news magazines such as
Time and weeklies like Saturday Eve

within four weeks Other types OF
magazines Of any date are good for ex-
change.

THREE Esquire magazines for a

Six Cosmopolitans for the

The Book Of the Republican Ma
tional Convention" which sold at
Cleveland for $3.50, for 10 cents
These are some OF the figures
quoted at Washington's second hand
magazine shops, where the man who
cannot afford the current price for
his printed escapes and dreams, the
collector looking for old issues of
periodicals and the technical or pro-
fessional student with limited budget
find publications after they are dated
on newsstands by later issues.
Occasionally magazines are on sale
secondhand while still current, ac-
cording to Jack Friend, who has sold
magazines and books in the Capital
ever since he was 10 years old. Some
times subscribers finish reading new
issues the day they are out, Friend
says, and rush them to his shop for
sale. But he never gets enough week
lies or monthlies to supply the demand
before the next issue is published.
Friend doesn't regard his shop as
competition to regular dealers. He
never advertises, he says, because per-

secondhand magazine shops anyway.
They wouldn't in any case be patron
izing stands where only current num-
bers are sold for specified prices, he
says, or expect to find back issues
there.
YOU'D be surprised the people who
come here" Friend said. when asked
about the patrons of his shop. "A
little boy used to drive up in To-
cylinder car with a chauffeur and buy
stacks of my penny dreadful maga-
zines. 1t seems his father Is Sen
ator or a Representative and likes
reading adventure stories while re-
laxing.
WHEN he ran across continued
w story he liked he'd send the
boy down to get the rest of the story.
People are always coming in to find
early installments Of continued flc-
tion that has taken their fancy"
Indeed, the second hand magazine
shop customers are various. A hat
less young woman enters with baby
in her arms and gives a quarter for
a half dozen movie publications. A
dignified, gray-haired woman-prob-
ably a school teacher-asks for back
numbers of Readers Digest. A man
looking for a 1896 World Almanac
compromises on a 1894 issue-90 per
cent the same in content, he is told
and pays a dime. A well-dressed eld-
erly gentleman seeks issues Of Hos
pital magazine, and q youth with q
travelling pack on his shoulders
searches among tall piles for publi-
cations of interest to stamp collectors.
Esquire leads all magazines selling
three for a quarter on the second
hand market, according to Friend.
They 60 like hot cakes" he says
Cosmopolitan and Good Housekeep-
| ing sell best in the six-for-a- quarter
class, but all the smooth paper
periodicals are outclassed by the
wood pulps" specializing on adven-
ture, mystery and love.
Fortune sells for Is cents, while
National Biographies are three for a
quarter.
Friend says the secondhand maya
zine business has been booming in
the last six or eight years. Before
then he kept few numbers in the
back of his book shop to accommo-
date old customers, but the demand
grew to such an extent that the
magazine trade is now more -four
ishing.

posed him. Capital opposed him. The
resent work is substantially an ac-
count of the Vaccinations OF these
enemies.
To be sure. there are summings up
from time to time Of the benefits
which Jefferson's administration
brought to the people. He reduced
taxes. He increased the Treasury sur
plus. He cut down the national debt.
He planned vast system of internal
Improvements which were to be self
liquidating and for the public bene-
fit. He encouraged small manufactur-
ers and small business men. The
country enjoyed an unprecedented
prosperity under him. He opposed
great armaments and undertook to
substitute trade restrictions for war.
In all of these, in the youth Of our
country, he was innovator.
Mr.. Bowers work, however, merely
mentions such points as established
facts. 1t offers little analysis of JET
ferson's underlying philosophy of gov
ernment 1t offers little in interpreta-
ton of the Presidents acts. It merely
mentions them, and plunges at once
into the manner of their reception by
his enemies. With these enemies tax
ing so prominent a place in the work
one may perhaps reiterate the sugges-
ton that they deserve mention in
the title. Although they take their
color wholly from their attitude to-
ward the great Democrat, they are
made to rank in the book much more
bulkily than he.
LOST MORNING. BY Du Bose Hey
ward. New York: Farrar & Rine-
hart.
THE author of 'Porgy" writes here
a literate but unremarkable novel
about an artist and his struggle with

his secretary. 1t could have been
| conceived by any earnest sophomore
and executed by any intelligent senior
But Mr.. Hayward seems to take it all
very seriously.
MOUNTAIN CATTLE. BY Mary
Kidder Rak. Boston: Houghton
Mifflin Co.
THE author of "A Cowman's Wife"
continues here her lively account
of life in Western cattle camp. Her
adventures are racy and her manner
of recounting them is in kind. She
writes of being snowbound, of hunting
pasture, of such technicalities as
"juicin' the COW. She writes of
wolf tracks and what they mean in
a cattleman's life. She writes of the
characters of the cattle camp. And
she writes of the cattle Her book is
not exactly drawing room drama, but
the reviewer enjoyed it.
SAM BASS. By Wayne Gard. Bos-
ton: Houghton Mifflin Co.
THIS is the life of Sam Bass, the
outlaw of ballad fame, who robbed
the Union Pacific and bafled the
Texas Rangers for longer time than
they care to tell. 1t is told with con-
siderable detail, and brings into its
adventurous pages more desperadoes
than the hero. 1t is the story of one
who was, perhaps, typical bad
man"-a robber who still had a code
of his own, who defied capture until
he was betrayed, who refused to name

This has been no easy thing to do in
world in which men have made the
rules that governed the love game.
and decreed that for a woman to pop
the question is just simply one of the
things that isn't done. Like trumping
your partners ace.
STRANGELY enough, although
- women have fought for all their
rights until they got them, they have
never succeeded In getting this taboo
about picking out their mates lifted.
So they still have to trust largely to
luck that somehow they will be able
to put the come hither" spell on the
men they desire and upon whom they
have set their affections. How to DO
this Is still a crossword puzzle that
every woman has always had to work
out for herself. but 1t wasn't so diff
cult in the past as it is in the present.
For in the good old days men were
more matrimonially minded than they
are now. Bachelor apartments and
valet service had not been invented
and men were virtually forced into
aatrimony to get home comforts and
keep buttons on their shirts. And old
bachelors were looked on askance
instead Of being regarded as now as
almost superhuman examples OF clever
ness in having evaded the snares
that were set for their feet.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPRoWLS.
Grouches.

NOW and then you run across a
person who always has q hard
time getting along with other persons.
He has no real friends. No matter
how many times society has promoted
him, then denoted him, and pro-
NOTED him again, he is always on the
verge of another demotion.
After a while such persons become
turned against every one. They ascribe
their continual unhappy situation to
an accidental combination of factors,
against which they claim they put up
a valiant fight.
You may say that accidental situa-
tions do work to ones disadvantage.
But accidents don't happen time after
time. Look deep into the mind of the
crouch. You will find a permanent
combination of misguided notions. The
crouch, for one thing, is always talk
ing in the first person. Somehow the
average person doesn't like to hear
the word "I." It is a word we may
all use. It's too frequent use by the
person, who, after all, has not &C
complished anything, sort of belittles
all the other "I's" in the world. Peo-
pie who overuse the personal pro-
nouns simply have personality
deficit somewhere. Perhaps they got
it in their early childhood. And per-
haps a string of self-generated dis
asters kept adding to that deficit to
the point where the big Il" turned
out to be a crouch.
