"Radetzky March, by Joseph

finally killed in the war.
Thomas Mann, Germany's great

poignant because of his struggles

That interest in books is not con-
fined to those written by English

bv the following questions asked at
the Central Library, Eighth and K
streets NV:
What is Victor Hugo's status as
a poet? .
Have you something that will
compare the Sid of Corneille with
the original Spanish poem?
Have you a Hungarian grammar?
What do you have on Hebrew
philosophy?
What are the titles of books Of
science in Swedish?
Have you any easy plays in Latin?
What do European novellsts think
of our times?
European fiction since the war
seems to reflect the unrest, the loss
of spiritual moorings and at times
the despair of the world today. Yet
there shines through it also, like an
unuuenchable flame, belief in the
dignity of man, freedom of thought
and the humane tradition. Some
of the most interesting novels of
the past 10 years to come from the
continent are available in English
at the Public Library and the
branches.

New Designs for Old Mexico

By Henry Albert Phll1pS. NeD
York: Robert M. Mcbride & co.
Mr.. Phillips isn't the first writer
to bubble ecstatically over the allure
of Mexico, but he is one of few to
venture an appraisal of the coun-
try's business and political aspect in
the same breath with the usual
tourist bread and honey of sights"
and bygone history. In fact, from
the tourist angle the book offers a
wide and select choice of visual
possibilities.
The title voices the general pur-
port of New Designs for Old Mex
ico." Mr.. Phillips sees Mexico that
has been a constantly shifting kalei-
doscope from its earliest traceable
beginning-changing Indian domi-
nation of its civilization before the
conquest; the injection of old Spain
into the scheme of things which. ac-
cording to the author, remains a
prevalent force in the restless Mexi-
can mind Of today, and the rise and
decline of the church. He finds the
people of Mexico at least anticipat-
ing, If not virtually desirous. of this
alteration Of design which has been
. part Of environment since the
Aztecs. ]. 8

Murder to Hounds
By Edudrd AcheSon, Ne1D York:
Hdrcourt, Brace e. Co.

Harcourt, Brace e. Co.
Having staged murders in kennels,
airplanes, trains, buses, coaches, rail-
way stations and every other con-
ceivable and inconceivable place,
there is nothing surprising about
having a murder or two staged in
the Virginia hunt country. And
what would the hunt country be
without a pack of foxhounds? OF
course the same effect could easily
be attained in half a hundred other
ways without inconveniencing the
poor, dumb bruteS. But after all.
one must have atmosphere, even in
a detective story.
The rest of the tale is practically
purely routine, including the Eng
lish sleuth, the newspaper reporter,
the beauteous maiden, the impecu-
nious nephew and the murdered
millionaire. Perhaps, though, it is
slightly different to have the sleuth
marry the maiden. Come to think of
it, maybe there is another wiggle
or two in the book not entirely or
thodox to this type of literature. Not
being confirmed reader of this sort
of book, we can't be sure. r. r. T.

and Hegel, Spencer and James.
His thinking, expressed in long
list of publications which form very
difficult reading for the layman, pro-
foundly and practically have inf1u-
enced the life of his times. The
progressive education movement, for
good or evil, is largely his brain
child. He has passed philosophy
through the crucible of modern
America. His work is one of the out
standing intellectual achievements
of America.
This book consists essentially in
collections from Deweys published
works which express most simply
and clearly the ma jor features of his
philosophical system. With these
selections alone would have come a
work worthy to stand among the
other Modern Library Giants. But
in addition the philosophers own
words are amplified and expounded
in a 2O0-page introduction by Mr..
DeWeys associate at Columbia,
Joseph Rather.
John Dewey, as have all philoso-
pliers, has sought the meaning be-
meath the shadow of things, the calm
eternal beneath. the turmoil of his
times. He has tried to avoid, how
ever. the pitfall of philosophy, be-
coming lost in abstract forms with
out any guiding strings back to SEN

where the schoolmen went astray.

The annals of sea history are
crowded with stories of drama, ad-
venture, courage The dozen mar
ratives that Hanson Baldwin selected
to go into his rather breath taking
series are eminently capital choices
concerning jointly the quality to
thrill and the variety of period,
place and circumstance embraced
by the accounts.
There is no dallying with fact
in Mr.. Hansons chronicles of the
sea. Each has the good grace of
being firmly supported by the writ
ten or spoken record. And each, in
cidentally. is delivered with writ
ten punch that drives every detail
and climax to its fullest dramatic
effect.
Some of the stories are we'll

Titanic and the Lusitania receive a
just share of attention, but in the

6U FTGuG| u LOOHtto, AVA - W
York. Alfred A. Knopf
This is one more physicians auto
biography, given an original twist
from the fact that its author is
eynecologist and obstetriclan. IL
follows a line in general OF milo
hunor and is toned throughout to
a SLIGHTLY sentimental melloWness.
Not that it does not make good read
ing. It is much less narrowing than
those books of it's kind which have
recounted the careers of specialists
in mortal diseases, baby being not
q disease but highly healthy fact
of nature, and, though the doctor S
humor is, as said, bit on the sweet
side, it is still often really funny.
He writes mainly in an episode
manner, treating different aspects OF
his professional life in different
chapters, rather than tracing his
career from start to finish. These
aspects are, in part. the plight OF
the unmarried mother, the problem
of dealing with superstitions, the
ethical question involved in saving
the life of a hopeleSSly delecllVe
child, the need for physician to be
q repository of life and death secrets
and so on In each case he Illus
trates his point with stories out OF
his experience. One reads on and on.
He is persuasive sort of writer.
Quite apart from its Individual
merits, however, the book is prob
ably bound for success. Nothing has
a more spontaneous appeal to the
public than book about operations
and symptoms There has been a
stream of physicians autoblogra-
phies in recent years second only to
the stream of foreign correspondents
memoirs, and, as far as the re-
viewer knows. there have been no
failures. So DR.. Loomis will prob
ably find receptive public He de-
serves it quite as well as any OF
his predecessors.
