coincidence, Lat it does not look
exactly like 1t.
The novel deals with the sharp prac-
tice of small city business man whose
ambition to be wealthy is stronger than
his moral sense. At least, that seems
to be the subject This ambitious gen.
tleman aimed at high finance, con-
nived to get along with shady deals for
a while by the aid of his son and a
friendly State treasurer, then was
caught. sentenced with his son to the
penitentiary and blew out his brains.
That is the essential action. The story,
however, Is cluttered. up with charac-
ters who have little or nothing to do
with this action, and yet whose lives
are recorded in full, so that one can
not be sure just what the main
theme is.
The book Is written in a gossipy,
colloquial way, which may be forceful
prose meter, or again may be a way
Of avoiding the labor of producing a
less sloppy English. 1t is too long and
very slow Of movement The merit
which 1t has lies in its Photographic
picture Of upper class small-town citi-
zens, in their muddle of idealism and
worldly ambition. But this, it seems to

One of the most comprehensive
works on American folk music is j. A.
and Alan Lomax's American Ballads
and Folk Songs" Most frequently
attention is called to our Southern

in the development of American folk
song. This tendency is supported by
such works as Songs Sung in the
Southern Appalachians, many of them
illustrating ballads in the making" ="
compiled by M. E. Henry; White
Spirituals in the Southern Uplands,
the story of the fasola folk, their
songs, singing and 'buckwheat notes, "

can folk songs of British ancestry

Each State has its lore and its
songs; not all have found Interpreters,
but among the fortunte ones are those

Carl GARNER; Songs and Ballads of
the Maine Lumberjacks, with other

Obviously. he did not decide to do
story in this or that vein, or to do

and it Is doubtless safe to say 1t is the
fastest-growing cathedral in the world
thanks to Bishop Manning's zeal.
Slight in stature, ascetic and
etherealized in countenance, he has
been a clerical Napoleon in subduing
sebellion, through restless. challenging
years, putting down bishop-baiters,
suppressing heresy. ruling as perhaps
the most august church dignitary in
America-doing all things "decently
and in order" as ST. Paul commanded.
A native Of Northampton, England,
he came to this country when he was
16, attended the University Of the
South and Nashville University. and
was ordained in Redlands, Calf, in
1891. He came to New York in 1908,
as vicar of st. Agnes Chapel, and
was rector of Trinity Parish from
1908 until 1921, when he became a
bishop.
This writer remembers a tale Of his
youth about resourceful cleric who
finished his church under even greater
difflculties-a story possibly Of doubt

men met, greatly discouraged to make
decision as to whether they should
try to build. They had only $4,000,
smaller than even mustard seed of
faith in the Leadville Of those days.
There was long and desultory discus

So high batting average-nothing
less than 1000-was scored by the
National Labor Relations Board dur
ing the late term of the Supreme
Court (seven cases all decided in the
boards favor) that little attention
was bestowed upon a first-class
spanking which it received last month
in the sixth (Ohio) United States
Circuit Court of Appeals The cpl
sode was noteworthy, because a petit
ton for enforcement of a board or
der was dismissed, and the order
set aside, by an opinion rendered by
a supposedly ardent New Deal jurist
and liberal, Judge Florence Allen.
The case. in which the Sands Manu-
featuring Co., makers of heaters,
valves and parts, was the respondent,
arose out Of q labor board decree
ordering the reinstatement, after a
strike, Of workers belonging to the
trade union known as the Mechanics
Educational Society of America.
Judge Allen pointed out that "the
boards conclusions were contradicted
by and at variance with so many of
its evidential findings that the court
deems it necessary to re-emphasize
the obligation which rests upon the
board as a quasi-judicial tribunal.

Among phenomena Of the New Deal
era Is the fact that labor affairs, as
far as Uncle Sam Is concerned, are
dominated by women-by Miss
Frances Perkins as Secretary Of La
Dor and by Representative Mary T.
Norton as chairman Of the House
Committee on Labor. Perhaps less
phenomenal Is the revelation, &C.
cording to a tale now kicking around
Capitol Hill, that relations between
the two eminent ladies Of labor have
reached the hair-pulling stage. As
the story goes, Mrs. Norton thinks
Miss Perkins should have taken along
the able gentlewoman from Boss
Hague's bailiwick as the Secretary
of Labor's official aide at the Inter-
national Labor Conference, which
Miss Perkins Is now attending at
Geneva. Representative Norton is
quoted as referring to the United

Speaking OF bobbed-haired Federal
officers, some diverting comment on
those who Join the foreign service
comes from Ruth B. Shipley, chief of
the Passport Division at the State
Department. Recalling that many
women who entered the diplomatic
and consular branch, after passing
difficult examinations and serving at
one or two posts, then determined to
resign either for marriage or for an
other type of career, Mrs. Shipley sug-
gests that until her sex takes the
foreign service seriously as career,
women will not make any outstanding
contribution to it; on the contrary,
she thinks, 1t gives decidedly HARM
full impression when more than so
per cent Of the sisters who enter the
service and receive invaluable training
resign because they've exercised a
woman's prerogatiye and changed their
minds. The passport chief believes
that any girl who wishes a foreign

ambitious foreign service officer within
the scope of her power" and concen-
trate on being "a successful foreign
service wife"
Schools and colleges are coming
more and more to have literally
proprietary interest in the District OF

Henry L. Stimson had decided to give
