named Keith AIorrell and how
they fell in love and what came
Of it.
Keith is first introduced as a
New York architect who returns to
his old home town to sell the an

young men, he stops at q base

In dull moment he spies q beau

on the game plays second fiddle.
That afternoon he decides not to
sell the home. There is q touch
Of mystery in this tale and Keith
is wounded when he returns to
the old house late one evening.
He is taken to the Dean home

Oddly enough the Soberer, more
brutal interludes stick longest in

like the best. we must admit that
Mr.. Finney has turned out a very

second offering from the pen Of
this new writer bearing the title

AS a basis for a plot upon which
to attach his highly SenSitized

Elizabeth was riding with her
family in the old car one sunny
afternoon when it upset. Her face
was horribly mutilated by the fly
ing glass from the windshield and
further damaged by the boiling
water from the radiator.
For years she was confined to
a life of seclusion, daring only to
step forth into the world at odd
moments when other people were
doing other things and then only
when wearing veil.

A laSt-minute deluge Of covers
arrived at The Washington Times

William H. Haycock, assistant

cancelled the covers.
Many arrived here yesterday,

cachet, but efforts are being made
to persuade the postmaster to
cancel these covers with July /
date. II the request is granted
the envelopes will be dispatched
today. Otherwise, they will be re.
turned to the owners under Sepa-
rate cover with q copy Of the prize

All Of that and a great deal
more is well said. Mr.. Finney
is not one to waste words. The
upshot to all this. however, is
that THE Unholy City" stands
very firmly upon its own founda-
tion There was really no need
for Mr.. Finney to rush out with
such a generous offer of props.
Those who like satire are pretty
apt to be able to understand it..
They do not need to know Just

body who gets hold Of the book,
minus the "key" on the cover, is
very apt to go right on reading

Some of it is brutal. All Of it

Appreciation
Of Music

Book Of the Symphony" Is de.
signed to help especially those
legion lovers Of music who may be
musically uneducated, yet wish to
learn with some degree Of under
standing to enjoy great symphonic
works without going through the
tedious task Of a thorough educa'
ton in music. If the reader is
not able to play the themes on
the piano or other instrument, he
may at least isolate the main
themes of the composition under
consideration by the use Of phono'
graph records.
Listing practically all available
records Of value, the author fur
nishes a rule which is placed over
the center pin Of the monograph
turn table, and the needle is
dropped in the groove near the
designated position according to
the scale on the rule and the di'
rections in the book. Thus one
may repeatedly locate and play
any theme until it is familiar and
become well acquainted with the
work.
This volume is devoted to the
great symphonies Of Haydn,
Mozart, Beethoven, S hu b e r t,
Brahms, TschaikowSky, and
Franck, with the inference that
others will be covered in a future
volume. BY giving the reader
some physical action along the
visual description and the actual
hearing Of the music, the volume
should accomplish more thor.
oughly the study of music appre-
citation than has been suggested
in any previous work of this
nature.

appears on the scene to make her
whole again. His work on her
face is little short Of a miracle
and a huge success.
Her gratitude finds expression
in her marriage with him. Her
sudden return to a world of people
finds disappointment in the fact
that he is much older than she.
The man she finally loves is
young.
It is then up to Mr.. Mosley to ex-
tricate the three from an almost
intolerable situation since Eliza
beth must still be treated every
six months by her doctor-husband
or her face will deteriorate.
Mr.. Mosley's solution is ade-
quate, but hardly convincing in
the light Of the acute manner in
which he draws the premise and
intervening sequences up to the
conclusion.
It is a book that should be read
for it's unique subject matter and
controversial theories.

Since the popular opinion about
a Prime Minister is that he is aus
tere and foreboding, spending all
his time fighting against plots to
weaken his government and filling
his mind with dry statistics on
tariff schedules and other affairs
Of state, intriguing" is perhaps
the right word.
So it is with Marriage" by
Leon Blum, who was the Prime
Minister of France when his book
was mentioned for publication in
the United States. The book, how
ever, was written by Monsieur
Blum when he was a young man
and a journalist.
It is an exceedingly frank" dis
cussion Of his theory that mar
riage is too sacred to be allowed
to rest on the laps Of the gods.
It is his impression that men
and women pass through an ad-
VenturouS period in their youth
when they are more given to po-
lygamy than monogamy and there
fore should have nothing to do
with marriage either because Of
love or convenience.
Carrying his theory on to its
conclusion he asserts that follow
ing this period of indecision most
men and women arrive at a time
when they want to settle down and
embrace monogamy. And, at that
time and that time alone they
should marry.
In order to make it perfectly
clear that he has studied his
theory from all angles he has
filled his volume with ito the
point" examples including at least
one personal anecdote.
To a purely Anglo1Saxon mind
his literary effort is a distinct
novelty with a touch reminiscent
Of college "bull" session. The ex-
plantations and pyramiding Of the
basic theory is glibly recounted
and freshly told, very freshly in
deed.

Boy Scouts
Express
Regret

Certainly we were disap-
pointed when we learned that
the Post Office Department was
not going to issue q Boy Scout
stamp"
This was the general opinion Of
the stamp-collecting troop Of Boy
Scouts who have converged upon
the Nations Capital for the Ma
tional Jamboree.
Several groups Of Boy Scouts
have visited The Washington
Times for discussions with Charles
A. Kenny, stamp editor. Many are
interested in the prize cachet
which The Times sponsored in
commemoration of the issuance Of
the first United States postage
stamps.
One Boy Scout said:
"Up to the last minute we
thought that President ROOse-
welt, who thinks we are q great
bunch and who Is also . stamp
collector, would pass the word
SAOAS sA@b - DOy OCVUb 8SAHlp
would be issued. Boy, the Post
Office would have had q selI-Out
Of these stamps, too, If they had
issued q stamp like this"
And another said:
while we were here, to have
. first day sale in Washington
on the opening day would have
been q wonderful thing. Oh
well We guess the Post Office
knows what it is doing"
The Scouts were informed that
organizations daily are requesting
special stamps Of the Post Office
and should the P. o. make an
exception to the Scouts, other
groups much smaller in number
would have made such an issu.
ance an embarl asSing one for Mr..
Farley and his aides.
"Well maybe you're right, but
just the same, here's hoping
that there is q Boy Scout stamp
issued by the Post Office De
partment in the near future. The
fellows will take the stamps by
storm just as they have Wash
ingtOn."

Three weeks ago the set OF
four "Coronations" OF Southern
Rhodesia was offered for sale by
washington stamp dealers at 80
cents a set. Last week, following
an announcement that the supply
had been exhausted and that no
additional stamps would be printed
because of the scrapping Of plates,
caused London dealers to raise the
price to Is shillings ($6.25). Wash
ington dealers, seeing that their
supply of these sets were limited TO
a minimum, raised the price to
So and $3.50 per set. .
Several dealers have since raised
the price of this four-stamp set to
$3.50, and from all indications it
appears to be going still higher.
The next Coronation stamps ex-
pected to take a quick rise are the
Coronation sets of Southwest
Africa and the Union of South
Africa. According to adviceS re-
ceived the Southwest Africa ad-
hesives have also been exhausted.
