COWBOY SONGS AND OTHER
FRONTIER BALLADS. Collected
by John A. Lomax and Alan Lomax.
New York: The Macmillan Co.
r EVISED and enlarged, the Messrs.
Lomax's painstaking collection of
cowboy balladry now more closely ap-
proximates the point whereby it will
represent the standard Of its particu-
lar line. This is the first new edi-
tion since 1916.
1t goes virtually without saying that
the work Of these men, father and
son, is worthy Of great and lasting
praise. Equipped with field phono-
graph sometimes with pencil and top
OF a saloon table, these men have re-
corded first-hand the emotional pano-
rama Of the western cow-puncher's
vocal repertory The songs they sing
and have sung for generations-in
the "traditional' style, without major
alteration, form a part Of American
folk music perhaps more authentic
and indicative than that of the Indian
or Negro.
This music, essentially primitive in
it's expression of the cardinal emo
tions of humanity, speaks OF the
closeness to nature, and isolation un-
influenced by the artifices of civiliza-
ton. Being one of his few pastimes,
his songs have forever been vital
component of the cowboys life.
"Galloped and sang
The long days through,
Shortened the trail
BY the songs he knew"
There are raucous songs, ballads Of
longing for sweetheart or home left
behind, ardent longing for the prairie

Of the world by their men-folks. It
may be, of course, that all this arguing
comes from conviction on the part
of our authors that womans new
independence does constitute a Prob
lem, or mayhap an Issue. Or, again,
it may simply be that discussion OF
the sex question is so delightful in
itself that a new pretext is serving
for an old occupation. The reviewer
confesses that she rather believes
that the latter reason is the true one.
For there is a zest and vivacity in
these mutual recrirf1inations between
males and females which, somehow.
are lacking in works on economics.
Mrs. Atherton, never wielder Of
light pen. is noticeably filled with
the joy of battle in her present COL
lection Of essays on this Sex-merit
question. She devotes number
of pieces to the subject, treating of
woman's dishonesty, her hatred of other
females, her lack of ethics, her gold
digging propensities, and so on, and
the answer to all these time -honored
accusations may be summed in az
a vigorous denial Hooey, says Mrs.
Atherton. Women are just as good
as men, and are apt to be better before
long; indeed, revolution is taking
place at this very minute by which
the world may be transformed into
a matriarchy. For (says Mrs. Ather-
ton) women are on their way to
equality and thence will probably
go on to dominance, though she her
self would deplore such an eventuality.
But, anyhow, they are just as good
as men. So that is that, and the
question is obviously settled until next
week, when some other writer will
have his 60 at it from the opposite
direction. A book. reviewer suspects,

sojourn at the institution is fascinat-
ing. as any revelation of the mysteries
behind such portals naturally would
be. Bill Wheeler, first person character
OF the book, faces the rigorous, kindly
executed system of the place with the
despalrlng hope of his aff1iction. It
isn't long, though, before he finds
himself enjoying life for the first time
IN years as part of large and
motley mass. He falls easily into the
trivial camaraderie among schizo-
phrenics, paranoiacs and the others of
warped mentality; indulges in the
simple pleasantries and dislikes char
acteristic between the men and the
medical staff, in the pastimes and
occupations of the daily institutional
life.
Like a college, the hospital stimulates
and supplies occupational and recre-
ational interests in the man, awakens
him to sense of liability to society
and to himself, things that he eschewed
at the proper period of youth. The
institution fills the vital break in Bill
Wheeler's psychological chain; provides
pillar for him to lean against. Only
with difficulty does he manage to suDA
Stitute like pillar in his own char
acter. necessary substitution upon
being discharged into the world of
temptation and responsibility.
Conspicuous though it may be for
its absence of obvious moralizing, For
hidden Path" has an import above
theme attraction that Is sober and
meaningful. Those cleverly arranged
and effective interpositions recounting
Bill Wheeler's pampered childhood
and the resulting vanishment Of his
self-control and judgment, inject
serious infection that constantly re-
minds Of the tragedy behind his pres-
ent situation. J. s.
REBELLIOUS FRASER'S. BY Miriam
H. M. Thrall. New York: Colum-
bia University Press.
THIS is q critical study Of Fraser's
Magazine, that disconcerting
scoffer at all things pertaining TO the
then popular tradition. Predecessor to
the present Punch Magazine in line
of satire and ridicule, vehicle for some
Of the better poetry and essays still
potent today. q means Of changing
the old order, political and intellectual,
Fraser's rightly may be regarded as
the ne plus ultra of influence among
history's magazine publications.
Miss Thrall bases her book on these
premises, rejecting on those great
names who formed the staff of Fraser's
to cast major light on the magazine
itself. Billy Maginn, Thomas Carlyle,
Thackeray, Hook, Father Prout, thS
vital forces of the rebellious move
ment, receive enlightening and re-
sourceful treatment. The work Of
Maginn, editor, and Thackeray, prin-
cipal contributor, is especially con-
sidered; the book gives insight to the
personality and genius Of both. J. s.

BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW. BY
Charles G. Norris. New York:
Doubleday, Doran & Co.
OTIS of us feel thoroughly con-
fused these days and Charles G..
Norris seems to be in the same state.
Rear children so strictly that they
are a mass of inhibitions-some of
them turn out awful and some of them
get on nicely Rear children with
virtually complete freedom, as many
have been in the past decade or two
some of them turn out awful and some
OF them get on nicely And SO it
goes, Mr. Norris seems to say.
In this latest novel in which Mr.
Norris takes us through the world of
his own youth as well as the present,
he seems to shake his head in puzzle
ment, even as you and I.
This reviewer found his lack of con-
clusions attractive. 1t may not get any
one any place but it is refreshing, what
with 50 many self-styled authorities
telling US what to do about our Gov
ernment, Our love lives, succeeding pro-
fessionally and the tactics to use with
offspring.
The reader OF Bricks Without
Straw Is permitted to spread his
sympathy, however thinly, upon every
character that moves through its
pages, from Jerome Kennedy, banker,
hero, to his son George, born to wealth,
who prefers being laborer and a
member Of the Communist party.
There's no taking Of sides on the au-
thor's part.
The book opens with Jerome, from
a straight-laced environment, defying
his father by marrying Consuelo,
beautiful girl with opera ambitions
but quite without the 1900 sense Of
conventions. Although the story Of
their love affair has the air Of reality
which many Of the other passages in
the novel lack, the marriage turns out
badly. Consuelo deserts her husband
Through ignorance his lovely sister

Eventually she takes her own life.

nitted to express herself as she will
So she goes to Hollywood and returns
home bearing an illegitimate child.
Jerry's tolerance makes it possible for
her to re-establish herself with a mar
riage, but the reader never feels that
either father or daughter profited by
dispensing or accepting the wel-known
right" to live ones own life.
Just as Jerry had been harassed by
his parents lack of understanding, So
his children are baf1led by his failure
to understand the uses to which they

Of virtually legendary proportion, mo-
tivates this "flctionized biography"
Potentially a gripping. however brief,
bit Of history. the White baron here
suffers chronicling unshaped and gen.
eralized in substance.
This dissemblance OF fact can Of
course be blamed on the type of ca
reer the baron followed Most of his
activities took place in vast Mon
golia: most of the men who were in
position to recount his habits either
me. violent death or disappeared.
Irrefutable records of the man ap-
parently do not exist. What knowl-
edge Mr.. Pozner has collected on
Sternberg's campaigning in presenta-
ton. at least, appears in unbalanced
portions which give the course OF the
book an uncohesive quality.
According to Mr. Pozner, the Baron,
anti-Bolshevist along with a group of
other White generals. cut ties with the
latter after much disaccord and ven-
tufed into Mongolia. there to satisfy
yen for friendship with the living
Buddha and incidentally to restore to
him his traditional throne in Urga.
Sternberg's passion for Buddhism,
hence scorn for things material, Mr..
Pozner indicates, were the major fac
tors of his excessive cruelty and dis
regard for earthly premises. The au-
thor brings out that the baron even
fancied himself another Ghengis Khan,
with possessive designs on the whole
continent.
1t is difficult to ascertain whether
the emphasis is placed on the warrior
as Mongolian Napoleon. or modern
Torquemada, or on the White-Bol-
shevik struggle in general. The fact
is that lack Of emphasis on any OF
the three points detracts from the
dramatic possibilities of the subject.
Mr.. Pozner fails to make his material
arrive at any solid conclusion.
About the first one-third Of the
book Is related in an unusual fashion
