casual historical piece, however,
gathers significance in the light of
present events when one reads in it
that Prinzip's act was the result
of Stifled nationalistic feeling on the
part of Serbs, Horvaths, Czechs,
Slovaks. Ukrainians Poles in other
words. of the peoples whose nation

This significance deepens when one
goes on TO an editorial in the July
Current History which reveals that
refugees from the territory that was
Czecho-Slovakia throughout the
month raced by thousands across
the Polish frontier e. Their inten-
ton was a repetition of their hair

disciplined and fatalistic foreign le-

formed in France, says the piece,
while in the Nazi protectorate sab
otage was almost openly practiced
both by Czech industrial workers
:. and by Czech farmers who be-
gan to secrete their summer crops"
Nazi measures to quell this rebellion
were, of course. of characteristic
brutality There. you see. is the old

says Mr.. Hutton. He then forecasts
the manner in which the powers will
probably line up for the conflict,
making the point that in 1899. as in
1914, Italy will be likely to play false
to her Central European allies and
side again with the democracies. AS
he sees it, the Duce will have more
to fear from France and England
than to gain from Hitler, to whom
he plays the role Of distinctly lesser
partner.
A similar view Of the axis rela-
tionship is taken by Herbert l..
Matthews, New York Times reporter,
in an article called FRANCES Prob

eign Affairs. Mr. Matthews sees
Germany as reaping the first fruits
of Frances victory, despite the fact
that during the war one heard much
more about Italy's participation.

its neutrality would benefit the axis

Comdr. Russell Grenfell, also writing
in Foreign Affairs. He feels that

The story of Jewish refugees of
the 18th century. Seeking haven
on the coast of Africa they are visit

are kidnapped. The story tells the
adventures of these children on the

The Rompoging Frontier
By Tom D. Clark. Indidnap
L

By Tom D. Clark. Indidnap-
oils. The Bobbs Merrill Co.
The American pioneer has been
a very much imposed upon indi-
vidual. Tradition has raised him
to a pedestal of greatness and en-
dowed him with all the virtues
bravery, perseverance, honesty.
These he had, true enough. But it
is overlooked at times that he was
human, too Sometimes he was a
rascal.
Prof. Clark, in his history of
| humor and manners of the South
and Middle West. restores the from
| tiersman of these sections to his
proper place. He shows him as
plain, rugged individual, who could
play as we'll as work, joke as we'll
as fight. Sometimes raucous per-
son, he was given to all the vices
as we'll as all the virtues of HUI
manness.
Mr.. Clark's book, it should be said
is not the debunking type. The
author obviously enjoys a vicarious
companionship with the frontiers
man, savors of his crudities and has
succeeded to remarkable degree in
capturing his racy, colorful humor.
His story Is human. It is ''buckskin, :"
as he says, and there will be none
to deny the authors claim that
nothing more buckskin than the
frontier has yet reared its head in
America.
There was free off -handedness
about the backwoodsmen who moved
across the frontier from the Ale
ghenies to Arkansas that made them
likable individuals" Mr.. Clark writes.
They were fearless, ardent, self
possessed" They were braggarts
too, such as the man who boosted:
Mister, I can whip my weight in
Wlldcats-my name is Nimrod Wild
flre-half horse, half alligator, and
touch of earthquake; that's got
the prettiest sister, fastest horse and
ugllest dog in the district, and can
out run, out jump, throw, drag out
and whip any man in Kaintuck."
They were an inquisitive lot. Cut
off from the outside world and
hungry for news, they piled travel
ers with all sorts of questions, even
of personal kind, as: Where did
you come from? Where are you
going? Are you married? What
have you got in those boxes? Are
you merchant? 1 guess you are a
mechanic?"
Mr.. Clark's book abounds in anec-
dotes. But to give the impression
it is merely a collection of humorous
matters is to do an injustice to the
author. A professor of history in
the University of Kentucky, Mr..
Clark has written a well-documented
study of the social customs of a
period, and his book fills a gap in
the needed history of our frontier
life. More than that. He has
written a very readable book. It
should delight the casual reader as
well as the student Of history.

The Brondons
By Angela ThirkeU. Ne1D York:
Alfred A. Knopt.
When one has read more than
a couple of Mrs. Thirkells novels,
one gets irresistibly the impression
that, If her comic lady characters
themselves set to literary compost
ton, they would write very much
such books as does their creator.
For Mrs. Thirkell is funny in two
ways. She is funny meaning to
be funny-that is to say, she is
genuinely humorous. And then she
is funny without in the least mean
ing it. She is funny trying to be
superior to her own dumb lovely
heroines. 1t would seem that she
is able to rise only short distance
above these charming ladies with
any success. When she attempts
to soar higher she gives evidence
very soon of being in unfamiliar
air and quickly starts beating her
wings in distress. But she is clever,
and does not attempt to remain
aloft for any but the very briefest
flights.
She writes, as you must know
yourselves, novels about nice placid
English people living in nice placid
English homes and getting married
in the last chapter. She is unique
in that she does see that such nice
placid people can be quite ridiculous.
But she is also sentimental at times,
and coy and guilty of striving for
effect. Her present work has the
honor of being chosen as Book of
the Month for July. Yet it is one
of her worst offenders in the fore
going respects.
1t concerns the Brandon family
and their great aunt, who dies and
leaves a mysterious will. There is
vicar who is always in to tea,
there are a couple of young men
in love with the charming widow
Mrs. Brandon, there is church fair,
ruddy squire, lady's companion,
and that is about all of it. You
can read it. It's even q cut better
than simply harmless.

Increasing the supply
Give the petroleum refiner due
credit for prolonging and expand
ing Americas oil reserves. While
the biologists and the producers
are finding and producing more
and more crude underground, the
refiner gradually is improving re-
filming processes to the extent that
less and less crude is being needed
to meet the growing demand for
refined products.
Within comparatively few
years. for instance, the refiner has
doubled the quantity of motor
fuel obtained from a barrel of
crude oil 1t is claimed for re-
Gently perfected refining methods
that this quantity shortly will be
increased by about so per cent?
In addition, the new refined pro-
ducts are capable of yielding more

and is forced back to draw addi-

flfSts lubEe must De III but re-
gion a source rock containing the
necessary carbonaceous material
from which the petroleum could be
formed The most common source
rocks are the bituminous shales
laid down by the sea. For some
reason tn shales formed by sedi-
mentation in fresh water did not
give rise TO valuable accumulations
of oil. This knowledge is of basic
Importance to the oil prospector,
for it saves him from drilling in
unfavorable rock formations.
But even if the rocks in the
region are favorable to oil forma-
ton. there must be a reservoir
rock where the oil can accumulate.
Usually tn reservoir rock is sand
stone. which contains spaces be
tween the particles ranging from
10 to 40 per cent of its volume
This porosity permits the oil to
flow through the rock, which holds
il like a sponge Sometimes lime
stone and dolomite serve as reser-
votr rocks
The third requisite for an &C
emulation of petroleum is fav-
orable structural arrangement of
the layers of rocks Unless nature
folded the rocks with the proper
twists and pockets, the oil could |
not be trapped The simplest
form of geological oil trap is the
anticline. an arching OF the rocks.
At first it was believed that this
form of trap was the only type
in which oil could be accumulated. !
but now more than a dozen kinds I
of rock traps are recognized.
The fourth condition for the ac-
emulation of oil in commercial
quantities is a cover of impervious
