progress under the fve-year plan. It
is a gratifying generalized impression
Of the temperaments and traits Of
these people, one detached Of political
import and obviously sincere in its
object to center on actuality.
Without that value, though, the book
could hardly awaken appreciation. It
may be that the translator is at fault;
anyway "Tonia" does not read huently,
but contains an excess of wilted ad-
verbal description and frequently un-
even sequence Of ideas. Perhaps the
latter is intended to be characteristic
of the people, who, may, of course, be
OF such a nature.
Then, Tonia herself makes an unin-
spring heroine suffering almost nam
by-pamby development up to the point
that her climactic triumph appears.

umes. One is Peace Tour" by Rolph

what happened to a group of young
men and women who set sail for
Japan one fine morning all full Of
plans for creating better understand
ing between the nations, or what have
you. They found presently that peace
touring was not as simple or as safe
as they had supposed and so gave it
up and set out to see the Orient as
ordinary folk. The story, incidentally,
is a true account.
The other travel book is guide to

A PRAYER FOR TOMORROW. j.
Hyatt Downing. New York: G. P.
Putnam's Sons.
HERE is q story Of the ruin of the
= South Dakota prairie written by
one who knows whereof he speaks.
It purports to be a story Of the youth
of one Lynn McVeigh, sensitive
youngster, who arrives In Rudge. s.
OAK, when that unprepossessing little
town is on the verge of boom coinci-
dent with the plowing Of the natural
grazing lands surrounding it. He
lives in Rudge through the boom. the
inflated prosperity attendant upon
one or two good farming years, and
the consequent collapse with the COM
ing Of the dry years.
Not only does "A Prayer for To-
morrow" portray Lynn in sympathetic,
live. glowing colors, but 1t makes the
whole countryside come alive. Not
only are all the characters In the book
real people, many of whom we know,
but the very land seems to have an
inner life which makes it a potent
force in the story and in the loves of
the people. Lee and Glen Hayward,
the storekeepers; Col. Winterslip, the
banker; Grandma Lunde and Grace
williams are what they are because
Of where they are. Those people who
came to Rudge from other places, al
though they may have more important
places in the unfolding Of the novel,
yet seem less well integrated as char
acters. These people are part Of what
ever happens. The others change
with the force of external circum-
stances. Jcien Mcveigh, Cynthia Carr.
Charle Thyme, all change in vital
particulars with their changing for
tunes, but those few who are identified
with the soil and the region are tri-
umphantly themselves throughout.

precisely at 2:30 o'clock they marched
out and down into the stadium itself.
Once having made their grand en-
try, the groups that went on first found
themselves lined up directly in front
of the platforms on which they per-
formed. Behind them were those for
the second number, and as the first
act ended the second moved into its
place.
Soon the show was over. The last
clown had drawn his laugh, the giraffe
had walked wobbling off the field, and
the last bottle of pop had gone where
all good pop should go.
But before all this could happen
there were days of work for Mr.. Snyder
and his crew of assistants. Five
trucks piled busily across town bring
ing equipment. Platforms were built,
stakes were driven, and thousands of
feet Of rope strung on them, white
washed lines were laid down, rings
and stages were marked, hundreds of
feet of bunting were strung up, and
dozens Of other details were looked
after.
MANY other organizations cooper
ated In the affair. The Navy
sent over 500 feet Of bunting, the c.
G. c. boys were detailed to help In the
construction and to carry flags, the
Boy Scouts acted as ushers, stables
lent ponies, bicycle shops loaned

skater Of Maryland offered to demon
strate his tricks, Frank Portillo, the
clown, came to entertain the children
in his own inimitable fashion-all
helped anyway they could.
This year even Walt Disney made q
special drawing to design the chariot
in which Snow White rode at the head
OF the parade. One Of the picture Or
ganizations lent the masks and cos
tunes Of the Seven Dwarfs to go with
her. In all it was one Of the most
unusual shows to be found anywhere,
and the District might well be proud Of
itself on this account.
Mr.. Snyder, like all circus men, had
dreams Of making it an even bigger
and better" show. More kids, more
animals, more clowns, more everything,
and his plans were realized this year.
When everything is cleaned up he will

MacManus' "The Rocky Road to

in the third person. It tells the story
of an Irish youth from the days of his
boyhood scrapes to the time when,
come to America. he gained recogni-
tion as an author. The part dealing
with life in the Irish countryside Is
colorful and entertaining.
The Soviets likewise, have a volume

entitled THE Larger View" 1t is q
very tractish sort of thing, immensely
long. but heading to nothing more
than the conclusion that 1t is better

unlikely that any one except a Com

there Is always some one
- behind the scenes of any
big event to make things run smooth
,ly. Our inquiring reporter has been
shopping again, and this time he has
discovered who made the wheels 60
round in the children's circus at the
Central Stadium yesterday.
AS with almost everything, 1t has
its origins back in the nearly for.
gotten past. Ever since the estab-
lishment of the Community Center
Department there has been a chill
dren's festival held every spring.
But in 1885 this festival had
grown to be too large for the biggest
stage in the city, and 50 Harold
Snyder, the stage manager for the
department., suggested to Mrs. Peoples
that 1t be held outdoors as a circus.
The idea was appealing, and bet
ter yet 1t solved the problem con-
fronting the department. How to
handle 1t raised another problem,
but somehow the trick was done,
and that year several thousand
youngsters had q grand time putting
on circus Of their own.
Like all good things, it has grown
and grown until this year over 1000
children dressed themselves up and
performed for the benefit of their
friends and themselves In a spec
tacle unlike anything else in the
District.
THE task Of organizing such an af-
fair is huge one indeed. Months
Of work see their realization in brief
two hours Of color, music, noise and
excitement. From the first fanfare
Of bugles. at 2:30 o'clock. which an
nounced the grand entry of the parade
until the last burst of the band music
at 4, the stadium was q seething
mass Of children in planned movement,
and 1t was all done without any pre-
vious rehearsal.

their individual acts in the separate
centers, but there Is no rehearsal Of
