A Book a Day
Penetrating Story of Pilgrim Women

It is amazing that out of the countless volumes portraying the Pilgrims story so little has been said about the women. This is due, no doubt, to the rigorous Pilgrim theology which placed the women subsorbinately. But actually the Pilgrim mothers played a vital. i heroic role.
 Margaret Bell tells the story of these pioneer women - from the woman's viewpoint-in rare sort of history, handled fictionally but none the less factual, Women of the Wilderness" Dutton: $350). To read it is to put new interpreta- ton on the early days of Massa- chusettS when hard winters and starvation and church intolerance made life staggering ordeal.
 And in all this the Pilgrim women bore a great part, teaching their children forbearance in the face of hunger; hope in, the face of hunger; hope in the fact of dis aster; faith against bigotry. They were, for the most part, simple, un- educated women, these first immi- grants, but they showed remark able courage and determination.
 The world will, perhaps, never know finer character than Anne Bradstreet, the first American poet; nor one mere brave than Mary Chil- ton, the first to step off the May flower. But even more so Anne Hutchinson lives on as the defender of tolerance and liberality against the unsparing rule of the Pilgrim Fathers. It may be said that she gained women's first rights in America. Margaret Bell recreates all these -vivifying Pilgrim history as has not been done in a long time. The result is book eminently readable, eminently valuable historically. - P. c. F.

In New York
By GEORGE ROSS

New York, June 3-Katharine Cornell apparently has decided to Tell All. The other day she made off for her beautiful home at Mar tha's Vineyard, accompanied by a biographer. And between now and September, she intends formally to recite her past for posterity's sake.
 On the broad veranda overlook ing the surf or from Martha's Vine yard beach, La Cornell will reveal to Ruth Woodbury Sedgewick those pertinent facts about her career which wil lbe compiled later into a book.
 This sudden autobiographical mood surprises many of us who thought that "Kit" Cornell pre- ferred an aura of seclusion and some air of mystery, in the eyes of her great public. Apparently not. The stages First Lady intends to start her story with the day she was ten years old, wore long black pig-tails and gave the first theat- rical performance of her life, re- citing Brownings "In Balcony" Nothing glamorous about that, but it is the spirit in which she wishes her biography to be written.

 Madame Stephonie St. Clair Madame Queen of Policy" she calls herself-is having the last laugh again these days as she reads of the sensational roundup of the $l00,- 100000 a year lottery racket com bination founded by the late and exceedingly unlamented oh Schultz.
 Of all the little fellows in the policy game squeezed out by the Schultz gunmen Madame Queen was the only one with the temerity to complain. She told the police about 1t, then bearded Schultz at his office and informed him that she had put an unding curse upon him.
 Then when the rackcteer was cancelled in Newark beer tavern and lay gasping his last few breaths. a messenger brought telegram that a nurse read to him. It said: "As ye SOW so shall ye reap"-and 1t was signed Madame Queen of Policy"

MATTHEWS MAKING ROUNDS

Eugene S. Matthews, able and
experienced member of the state
railroad commission, was visitor
in Ocala yesterday in the interest
of his campaign for reelection.
Mr.. Matthews is a former Ocalan
and has many friends here who
have consistently supported him
for reelection ever since his ,ap-
pointment to the commission,
fourteen years ago, by Governor
Cary Hardee.
There is a strong feeling here,
and throughout middle and south
west Florida, that Gene" Mat
thews should be continued on the
commission as long as he will con-
sent to serve because of his ex-
perience and the further fact that
he is the only member of the COM
mission from peninsular Florida,
where the great bulk of the ship
ping originates.
At the present time one member
of the commission is from Talla-
hassee and the third member from
Lake City. Mr.. Matthews has two
opponents, both from west Flor
ida, one residing in Tallahassee
and the other in Madison. The re-
election of the present Tallahassee
member and the election of either
of Matthews opponents would
place the entire membership of
the commission within a territory
only 100 miles in length in north
western Florida, clear away from
the heavy shipping section of the
state,
Gene Matthews has served for
fourteen years as a member of the
railroad commission, part of
which time he was chairman of
the board. He is experienced, de-
pendable and able. quiet, unas-
Stunning and stickler for duty.
He deserves denomination in the

Camel patrols maintain the two

AS early as 1860, camels were
