local jails.

Death Records Probed.
The Governors conference was
called after investigators started a
check of death records at the prison to
determine whether the ''heat cure" in
stuf1y punishment cells has taken the
lives OF other convicts than the four
hunger strikers found roasted nine
days ago.

Meanwhile, staff physician at the
prison told investigators that he was
prevented from visiting the punish
ment cells several hours before the
four men were found dead.

physicians at the institution. said
under questioning by Coroner Charles
H. Hersch that he told a prison off,

the seeming deadlock between Ger

France Remains Calm.
Despite increased governmental
diplomatic and military activity, how
ever, France remained calm. The
army exercises, involving more than
10000 men, had been scheduled for
the area where the borders Of France
Germany and Switzerland meet long
before the current crisis developed.
The French general staff decided
however, to take the unusual step oil
replacing troops away on maneuvers
with reserves. The 14th Division
moved into the garrison at Valdhon
to replace the 18th, although the lat
ter was waging mimic warfare only
mile away.
One unconfirmed report said the
troops might be kept in the field as
long as Germany keeps her estimated
100000 men under arms.

BOOK SHELF
WINGS OF GREAT DESIRE
by James Gray
By Bernice Fi,1negGn

All her life Faith Winchester re-
fleets her fathers influence. His
passion for learning and for the ex-
cellent life motivate her throughout
a childhood married by her mothers
selfishness, and a youth when work
in the exciting world Of a news
paper office often takes as much
strength as she can summon. When
she falls in love with David Fraser,
managing editor of the Drummond
newspaper, Faith learns the de-
light of laughter and the joy Of be-
ing thought beautiful; but with
their marriage and life together
come disappointments, many of
which grow out of her own shining
zeal, her aspirations, always a little
too high for the commonplace
emergencies Of living. For David
is not perfect, nor is the world of
politics into which she urges him.
Not only does she demand too
much of David, she refuses to see
her children as children, and ex-
poets from them particularly her
son JoeD the excellent life for
which she has always longed.
In his portrait Of this woman,
rich in intellectual cur o ity,
earnest, strangely aloof in her at
titude toward her two daughters,
full of hope for her eldest son, Mr..
Gray has created a real person.
Faith makes mistakes and serious
ones; but she remains a fine per-
son, and her virtues count in her
children's lives.
Mr.. Gray writes warmly, with
unfailing insight into his varied
characters. He is equally at home

Of one life, II Is a true and effec-
tive picture Of an American era.
ALL THIS AND HEAVEN TOO
by Rachel Field
This story, based on truth that is
stranger than fiction, combines the
drama Of one Of the most notorious
murder cases in France with a per-
iod Of American history covering
the New England and New York
Of 1850 to 1875. The heroine, Henri
cite Deluzy-Depor;es, woman Of
rare gifts, fortitude and magnetism
lived as governess in the Inflated
household of the Due and Duchesse
de Praslin, and became unwittingly
the pivot about which that famous
crime revolved. In 1847 she faced
a hostile police pleading her own
case before the Chancellor of
France in the murder trial that was
the sensation Of two continents and
helped a French King from his
throne,
It is, in fact, the story of Rachel
Fields own great-aunt; for after
winning her freedom, Henriette
took refuge in America where she
married the youngest of four
famous brothers, Henry M. Field,
preacher, editor and writer.
The first part of the novel tells
of Henriette's years Of conflict and
suspense in the Praslin family cir
Gle, caught as she was in a web of
scandal that gradually closed in
about her; of her courageous handl-
ing of crisis after crisis; of her baf-
fling relationship to the Due; Of the
horror of that incredible murder,
and the months of nightmare that
followed. But the most charming
part of the book tells Of her life
in America, the way in which this
fascinating, unconventional women
adjusted herself to a new world
first in a New England village
where she caused endless commo-
ton, later in Gramercy Park where
she caused endless delight.
Through her eyes We see the
social and intellectual life Of that
time. We meet Rachel, the French
tragedienne, on her last theatrical
venture; we learn of the laying Of
the Atlantic cable by Cyrus w.
Field; Of Civil War years in the
North; of summers in the Berk-
shire Hills; of friendships with
William Cullen Bryant, Peter Coop
er, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Fanny
Kemble and other important fig
ures. We share the love story of
this exotic French-woman and her
New England husband who used
their different worlds and tempera-
ments as a background for their
successful marriage.
Miss Field tells the whole Of
Henriette's remarkable life-draw-
ing upon history, rumor, and her
own Imagination. The result is as
breath-taking a story as ever
reached the world Of fiction.
