. In Hendersonve there are places of worship for

many churches of various denominations. Some OF
these attract large tourist congregations, and special
summer programs are rendered for their worship
Some of these churches, especially in the rural dis
trcts were established more than 100 years ago,
one being established mainly through the desire OF
tourists for place to worship and another by resi-
dent settlers who brought strong religious convic-
tons with them.
In addition to the local churches and religious
assembly grounds there are summer conference
quarters of the Methodsts, Presbyterians, Baptlss
Reformed Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Lutherans'

a NNAPOLIS, once the Bath OF
America. has become Synonymous
with the United States Naval Academy
TO the rest of the country. To re-
capture for the ignorant something of
the Importance and charm of the old
city on the Severn, Mr.. Stevens has
written and drawn this book, which
is a combina ton history and guide.
HIS artists eye was captured by what
he calls the most beautiful eighteenth
century houses in America. He has
sketched them and has given enough
OF their history to intrigue the most
modern-minded
The book is apportioned almost
equally between the old city's archi-
tectural glories and the Naval Acad-
emy. 1t is perhaps inevitable that
the part of the city outside the
Academy should be more interesting.
and Mr.. Stevens makes it so. He is
factual and informative, but writes
with color and zest, shying at the
sentlmentality which often mars writ
ing of this nature
1t Is fortunate that this book ap-
pears when the Company for the Re-
storatlon OF Colonial Annapolis is
trying to restore and preserve the
city's most beautiful buildings. It is
the strongest possible argument for
the society's work. But this is. after

also the preservation, of big business

with some criticism; also espouses

to New Deal policies.
These specific views, however. are
not the reviewers reason for holding
that this is a significant book. On
the contrary. exactly opposite views
expressed in the same manner would
be equally significant. The important

JUAN IN CHINA. BY Eric Iinklater
New York: Farrar & Rinehart.
THIS book, like China Hand" re-
viewed elsewhere on this page, is
one which has gone neglected for some
months. But while it is not new in
point OF time, it is possessed of a
sparkle which seems likely to outlast
mere seasonal appeal, rs it is called,
whatever it may be. It Is an ex-
travaganza in Mr.. Linklater's familiar
Vein-witty, inaouciant and mock
serious. 1t begins in \ California
nudist camp, but promptly moves to
China. The reason for the change of
scene is that Juan, the hero, wins
the affections Of q charming young
Chinese revolutionary and for her
sake undertakes to liberate her country
from its representations he u
not very clear in his mind as to who
they may be and has no idea of how
or where they may be found.

again, If Mr.. Sinclair Lewis had at
tempted to delineate the soul of the
American Congressman, it is un-
thinkable that he. or anybody else for
that matter, could have done better
than has the American Congressman
himself. In no other counry in the
world could such a book be written
by a member Of the Government. It
Is impossible even to imagine it,
1t makes brisk, CHEEKY reading: 1t
gets around over the pertinent sec
tions Of the political map, it mentions
mOdestly the long-established position
Of the Maverick family in America,
and the authors war record; it has,
in fact, never dull moment. It is
not one bit like the Congressional
Record. 1t is, instead, like a book
length campaign speech made to
good-natured constituency which re-
Quires rather to be entertained than
persuaded. It is full of good stories,
or, anyway, 1t is full of stories, and
some of them are good. It engages
in some fun-poking at the New Deal
without disloyalty to the Congress
mans party. It Is brashly honest,
brashly homely and brashly sympa-
thetic toward the needs Of that for
gotten man who used to be known
as the "peepul." (Styles change, but
forgotten men still can vote) And
it is An incomparably vivid demon
stration Of how Americans have
trained their representatives in gov
eminent to make profundities out Of
the obvious and to bring forth the
platitude with all the triumph COM
monty appertaining to the epigram.
There can be no question in the
readers mind, as he goes through
this book, as to who is master-the
politician or the voter. 1t is the
former who sings for his supper and
his concern is to give = good show
Mr.. Maverick succeeds in his endeavor
very well. Perhaps he even succeeds
. little better than he calculated.
That is the essence Of the book.

TOLD WITH A DRUM. BY Edward
Harris Heth. Boston: Houghton
Miff1in Co.
THIS Is a sad little novel about the
sufferings endured by German
Americans during the World War. 1t
centers about the prosperous Mayor Of
a lake city in which a great part of the
population is German. The old Mayor
is representative Of the virtues custom
arily associated with the pre-war
Germany-thrift, generosity, friendli-
ness, love OF progress and appreciation
Of music. When war breaks out he is
defeated by an American" candidate:
he sees his illusions OF friendship and
establishment in the new country de-
stroyed; hysteria directs the pulling
down Of the statue Of Goethe and
Schiller and similar measures, and
the old mans heart is broken. The
book is quiet and actually no more
than long story. Its value would
seem to lie In its truthful portrayal of
an aspect Of war spirit which has not
received much attention from writer's
50 far.
