It was in the homes and among the
families that Miss Stark grounded her
faith in her ability to discover the
Arabia which few travellers know how
to find. Mysterious Arabia, hidden with

scrapers; traditional Arabia, stepped in
legends older than history; modern
Arabia, aloof and yet part of the reel
ing civilization which knows no boun-
diaries in its ceaseless quest for COM
merce and trade-all were found by Miss
Stark and are here brought together
in modern classic of travel and ad-
venture. 1t is scholarly work, poetic
In its descriptions, written by o woman
whose wisdom, humor and capacity for
good fellowship served as key to the
treasures of hidden Arabia.
The book is profusely illustrated with
photographs and is attractively bound in
blue with gold lettering and decoration.
The photographs contain a genuine sur
prise for many prideful Americans who
have always believed that the skyscraper
was the brain child of a modern genius.
Those in Arabia are centuries old. and
many of them offer the suggestion that
even the most modernistic architectural
monstrosities of this country are not
original.

include also the Black Grant from the.
Royal Geographical Society and the

MORE SCANDINAVIAN
BOOKS FOR STATE
UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

Returning from a trip to Europe
spent mainly in the four Scandinav-
ian countries of Sweden, Norway, Den
mark and Finland, Frank X. Walter.
University of Minnesota librarian, re-
ported far greater knowledge of the
University of Minnesota and interest
in it than he had observed on earlier
journeys to Europe.
At each of the big Scandinavian
universities where he stopped, he en-
countered people who had studied at
Minnesota or faculty members who
had been here on visits or as special
teachers.
Mr.. Walter expressed himself as
very much impressed by the appar
ent prosperity and we'll being" of the
Scandinavian lands. He found Fin
land making progress that had been
impossible prior to it's independence,
and he confirmed the idea, suggested
by their payments to the United
States, that the Films are determined
to get out of debt.
Exchange relations under which
University of Minnesota publica-
tions will go to Scandinavian gov
eminent and university libraries,
which in turn will send a consider
able number of their publications to
the university library, were made by
by Mr.. Walter. Among the institu-
tions which made such agreements
were the universities of Upsala, Hell
singfors, Oslo and Copenhagen.
Scandinavian officials all go on
vacation in July, and by the time
was able to visit the University of
Lund its librarian had left, so l missed
that One,'' he said.
Travelling in England following his
Scandinavian visit, Mr.. Walter found
an appearance of rather swiftly re-
turning prosperity. He came away
with the opinion that if peace is MAIN
tanned Great Britain will continue to
better it's condition as the world eco
nomic cycle swings upward.

1T will be remembered that the
passage of the mortgage moratorium
law was preceded by an executive or
der issued by Governor Olson which
had the effect of hating foreclosures
on homes and farms. This was con-
sistent with Floyd Olson's philosophy
that human rights take precedence
over property rights. The U. S. Su-
preme Court upheld him, making this
philosophy the law of the land.
Another tremendously significant
contribution Governor Olson gave to
the cause of progress was, when defy
ing the most powerful moneyed in
terests of our state, he called out the
troops to protect the rights of workers
on strike-men trying to better their
the necessities and comforts of life to
their families and themselves.

why did you not tell the citizens in
Minnesota that all appropriations for
state purposes are made by the state
legislature, and that a Republican,
controlled legislature voted every

bonded Indebtedness? Was this lack
of knowledge on your part, or just a
political trick?"

Aroused Russia

1t was Napoleon who first aroused
the national spirit Of Russia, as he
aroused nationalism wherever he went.
The Russian armies which followed
on his heels into Europe came back
with new sense of dignity-more,
having come into touch with the lib
eral ideas Of the French revolution,
they returned imbued with liberal
ideas, and it is not surprising that Rus

A Family Affair

Marriage, in Japan, is more than our
contract between the two parties who
are to live together. In Japan, the
marriage vow has to do with the an
cestOrs and the bride marries the
whole family, and must learn to please
them all. Japanese novels start where
ours leave off, at the altar, and JAP
anese novels end with every member
of the family understanding every
other member and each attending to
his own business.
