tributed to the making of law-break-
ers. Mr.. Hoover, indeed, finds it i'm
possible to Be sentimental over any
aspect Of criminality. And If he does
not know. it Is dificult to imagine
who does.
The book Is q grim revelation Of
conditions which make our high crime
rate possible, and . heartening ac-
count Of the Federal machine which
exists to fight the evil. It contains,
too. a statement by an expert as to
what the average citizens duty Is in
the matter Of reducing crime. And
1t Is absolutely first-rate reading.
THIS PROUD HEART. by Pearl s.
Buck. New York: Reynal & Hitch
cock.
THIS novel would seem to be Mrs.
Bucks autobiography Of her spirit.
It Is the story Of . woman's fight to
"have everythink," to have the joys
Of love and motherhood and also
to express her genius as m artist. The
heroine, to be sure, Is not . writer;
she is . sculptress. But the impli-
cations are fairly obvious. Mrs. Buck
almost certainly is writing out Of her
own experience.
The story is that Of . tremendously
energetic young woman who marries
. quite ordinary young man, loves
him madly, bears two children and
loves them, too. but while doing all
this finds great Joy in modelling clay
Cupids, which she sells to her neigh
bors In order to earn extra money.
Arrives one day . great sculptor
from Paris. He sees her Cupid, cries
out to know who did it, meets the
young wife and mother and announces
to her that she Is one Of the great
geniusAs Of the generation-perhaps
Of al time. He demands that she
abandon her stupid domestcity and
come At once to P is to study. sh'

Battle left on Uruguay an indelible
imprint-a penchant for pioneering In
social progress which at one time
reached such . degree of refinement
that the chief merit bill could possess
was its novelty. its lack Of precedent
not only in Latin America but in the
world. Thus Uruguay has become q
laboratory where the practical in So
cial theory has been refined from q
maze Of idealistic proposals.
The book Is not without weaknesses.
notably in the abbreviated picture the
reader derives Of Battle himself. There
must have been something tremen-
dously forceful about this man who
could bring order out of chaos to one
segment of the Latin American world.
The book is burdened with statistical
detail which make it extremely difncult
for the layman but highly important
for the technician.
The development Of the public cor.
poration as the instrument for State
development of industry Is clearly set
forth, but for comparison of this parent

SYRACUSE, N. Y. Nov. 5.-The
jinx hung high for three bitter Pc
RODS in Archbold Stadium today.
Then Phil Allen, the minute man
who beat Cornell, swept wide around
Colgate's bewildered left end for the
touchdown that gave Syracuse TO
triumph, its first over the Maroon
since 1924.
The victory, accomplished on only
two first downs and a week after
Syracuse had been swept aside by
Penn State, 1876, ended the most
noted hoodoo in Eastern football.
Happy Season for Syracuse.
Not since 1884 had Syracuse
scored on Colgate. not since 1881 had
it been able to tally touchdown
on the Red Raiders. The last tie
was in 1927, the last victory over
the Maroon in 1924. For the first
time in its gridiron history, Syracuse
has beaten Cornell and Colgate in
a single season.
For the better part Of three periods
Colgate was the best team on the
field. So the $4,000 spectators, most
of them wildly partisan Syracuse
fans, drifted into mass hysteria
when Dick Bangor, Syracuse sopho-
more, caught a punt on his own 26
and, running with recklessness and
speed, dashed up the field Sc yards
to the Maroon IA.
Syracuse lined up and ran one
play that was stopped cold just as
the fourth period began. Again 1t
went into its single wing formation
strong to the left side. Allen wheeled
out of line as the ball went to
Hoffman. Hoffman handed it tt
Bangor as the play swept to the left
and Bangor in turn gave it to Allen
