Rabelais
Translation

Jacques LeClercq has finished
his translation of the works of
Rabelais, after three years Of labor
upon it. He was commissioned by
the Limited Editions Club to make
this translation, because Of the be-
lief of the directors of the club
that a new translation is needed.
These directors feel that the
Observation-Disclosures translation,
done in Elizabethan times, is gen.
orally considered to embody the
raciness which appeared in Rabe-
lais' Sixteenth century French; but
is also generally considered to be
nearly as obsolete in English as
Rabelais' language is in French.
So Prof. LeClercq was commits
stoned to make a new translation,
which would attempt to express a
similar raciness in the modern
idiom.
A new edition Of the five books
o Rabelais, containing the new
LeClercq translation, will be pub
lished in October by the Limited
Editions Club. This edition is de-
signed and decorated by the IA
nous -4merican book artist, W. A.
nwigginS, and will appear in five
volumes.

ThieVery and
Murder

There is one thing that Moons
In Gold" will do to you if nothing
else. 1t will forever break up your
faith in the legend that there is
honor among thieves"
The Moons In Gold" were a
famous collection of opals. Now a
daShing adventurer, Captain Val
entine, needed a stake for couple
of months or more so he decided to
become the owner Of these precious
jewels. He hadn't any way of
knowing when he got to the
Baron's house that one of the most
famous jewel thieves in the coun-
try had been there before him.
And, of course, he didn't know
that the man he found dead on
the floor of the Baron's study had
been hired by the Baron'S daugh-
ter to burgle the place.
In fact he had to travel to Shang.
hal to find the answer to the rid
die. In the meantime he traced
the opals. He traced the Baron's
daughter. He traced the Slickest
thief in the world. Result, he
found the Moons In Gold" He
found the Baron's daughter and
the police found the thief.
It took all three of those things
to make the captain honest-for
the moment.

Brenda

Brenda Coleman's vacation at
Sugar Loaf Butte, Col, is the
subject of Fjeril Hess latest for
young girls.
The book, designed to give an
insight as to what fun there is
for girls in a wild and woody
Western ranch, carries out a
serious theme with Brenda as the
heorine. While she was having
such a good time. Brenda was
also ironing out a family mis-
fortune for her uncle who owned
the ranch.
The adventures that befall
Brenda include learning how to
ride a horse, camping out over
night on the prairie, shooting
mountain lion and killing a rattle
snake. The less dangerous but
just as thrilling experiences were
riding in the rodeo and driving
a huge moving machine.
It is clearly written and in good
taste for children.

Hess, published by the Macmillan
Company

The historical background for
the novel stems that era of Euro
pean history when the Spanish
Armada was assuming great pro-
portions in the eyes of those who
watched the fight between Eng
land and Spain with interest
and alarm.
The story Mr.. Mason tells sur
rounds the life of Robin Aubrey,
who is serving in Queen Eliza
betl's intelligence service. He is
working in Spain where the In
QUESTION is on.
His life is constantly in danger.
He falls in love. His efforts to
serve his country and win the
woman he has set his heart upon
carry the thread of the story.
But around and about Robin
Aubrey and his love surges the
force that finally led England to
the supremacy of the seas. The
beacon fires were lighted one
night across England to an
nounce the coming of the Ar
mada. Robin Aubrey had his
hand in the business and before
Mr.. Mason lets you close the
pages of his novel you will be
well in key with the Omen of
Queen Elizabeth'S time.

Samuel Chamberlain

Samuel Chamberlain is a study
in contrast. He pits the towering
SkyscraperS of this country against
the Gothic cathedrals of France.
His etchings are examples of
careful, detailed etching. His
work is fine, every line is import
ant there is nothing slipshod
about Mr.. Chamberlain.
Principally, his interest lies in
the architecture of France, the
old cathedrals and the houses
along crooked old streets, old
chateaux, and contraSted with
that, the skyscrapers of Chicago
and New York.
Take his abandoned Chateau"
for instance, and put it alongside
his Soaring Steel" an etching of
a half-completed skyscraper, or
'DrizZly Morning in Chicago" a
very effective shimmering picture
of skyScrapers against a bleak sky.
Not only is Mr.. Chamberlain
an artist of note, but he has writ
ten several books on art and
architecture which have won con-
siderable recognition. He is the
author of "Vingts Autographs de
Vieux Paris" Sketches of North,
ern Spanish Architecture" do,
nestle Architecture in Rural
France" Tudor Homes in Eng
land" Through France With a
Sketch Book" and French Pro-

It's not a picture that many
and many a patriotic son of De
mocracy hasn't seen in a misty
distance but it's a new picture
because it shows an intelligent
American showing America just
what America is.
Mr.. Seldes, contrary to the be-
liefs of some Of the highbroWS,
sees something good in American
literature. He sees an American
culture. And, he sees them all not
in comparison with the age old
expressions Of Europe but in the
active vein of American feeling.
For the first time he presents
American production as well worth
while because it is good American
and not because it compares favor.
ably or unfavorably with the best
that has struggled through the
Old World.
Mr.. Seldes points out that Amer
leans have character, hope and
courage. He believes that Amer
leans Of the Middle West hold
the future of this country in the
palms Of their hands.
In other words Mr.. Seldes has
indited a thoroughly American
book. A tongue for many Amer
leans to speak with. It will be
gratifying reading for more than
you would imagine.

remarkable effects in several snow
scenes. Logging Camp, New
Hampshire" is perhaps the best of
these, with "Old Mill, New Eng
land" and February Morning,
New Hampshire, giving varied ex-
preston to his versatile brush.

skies, their changing color, and
the beauty of his sea colors.

Academy of Kansas City and in
the Paris schools. He has won the
