about by the wreckage of the Civil
War, as reflected in the lives Of
Howells, and the Jameses. Henry
Adams-who had no great cru

host Of others down to the 1900s
are placed before us here in a re-

soundly conceived and admirably
executed by one of the most excit-

No one can finish a single chap
ter of this amazing book without
regretting the gaps in his own

plore at once tht fascinating vistas

author. New England: Indian
Summer is bound to be a delight
to even the best read Americans,
a challenge to the thoughtful, and
a revelation to those "contempor-
airy" readers who are too frequent
ly inclined to dismiss other gener-
atoms than their own. Magnificent

and live is this book, and wholly
satisfying complement to it's dis

and up the street with his market basket went Steve
Schwarzbauer He had a parcel of groceries for a
client. Along Pine Street young Billy Unger,
son Of Fred fingers, who was busting about with
his wagon busy boys can be. Inquirng where
Mr. Schwarzbauer was bound in open curiosity Billy
offered to take the package for him. Steve let
him take them, told him to come to the store the
next day. He would have something for him. Next
day appeared Billy as appointed What kind
of candy do you want?" Steve asked reflecting
something of knowledge of boys stomachs. .
Ordinarily, we could point out, Billy would have
taken the candy munched proudly out of the store.
That would have not only ended the story, but the
story would never have appeared in this column
Billy didn't take the candy and thereby hangs tale
He demurred no, he didn't want candy. Instead
his eyes lighted they fell the seed Could
he have package of pumpkin seeds? OF course
he could and he did. Out to the farm of his
grandfather Henry Borgmann. marched Billy with
his seeds. Granddad found a plot of ground; the
seeds were planted. They grew and prospered
Billy's crop good. Then just a few weeks
ago Billy marched back into Steve's store played his
trump card by selling to the merchant the fruits
of the seeds he had earned. A neat lesson. sim

Nonchalance
At Its Heighth-
Notwithstanding the es-
sence of nonchalance on a recent
Sunday afternoon was Peter Mel
len, Of Norwood, who, after crash
ing his light delivery truck square
ly into the side of the Olaf Har-
oldson car, Of Mapleton, calmly left
his truck, the bruised and indig-
nant Haroldsons, and their wrecked
car by the side Of the road, gazed
neither to right nor left but walked
straight across the road, entered a
country church, and attended the
funeral for which he had been
bound. Nellen who was at fault,
was arrested later by a patrolmen
as he attended the funeral.

placed the usual plateful Of supper

ness. Soon, what he supposed was
the cat, moved up to the place and
then SHE'D away. Still laboring un-
der the delusion that it was his pet,
he stretched out his hand to re-
assure her and that's when things
began to happen. A faint white
stripe disappearing into the dark
ness and a distinctly unpleasant
odor which didn't disappear attest
ed to the nature Of the animal with
which he had been dealing.

1t is pleasant to turn from daily

The author, whose life work is also
one of reconstruction and healing,

sion to many institutions and
places In Iran which are closed to
the ordinary visitor, but she made
use of every opportunity to ac-
quaint herself with the ordinary

It is heartening to read how she
discovered that out of the ancient
and weary East comes a lesson in
modernism and an example of
youth rebuilding a world.

rent could be obtained to keep an
incubator going in order that a
one and three-quarter pound pre-
mature baby born to Mr.. and Mrs.

The Conscience Fund

In 1911 the Treasury of Washington started
account called the conscience fund.-" into which
was placed a remittance from remorseful citizen
who had evaded a federal tax.
In the 129 years since the fund started it
has received nearly a million dollars, considerable
amount of balm for guilty consciences.
recent check came from a former doughboy
who pilfered some chocolate candy bars from gov
eminent supply truck in France during the World
War. He sent 50 to pay for the stolen sweets
The conscience fund" would swell to enormous
proportions if all Americans who have evaded their
indebtedness to the Government would follow the
example of those who have already repented of their
sins against Uncle Sam.
Every year, merchandise which would yield large
in customs duties is sneaked into the country
by tourists returning home after foreign vacations,
well by professional smugglers.
There is widespread evasion also of many fed
eral taxes, particularly the income tax, for which
many have been severely punished.
The Americans who have poured money into the
conscience fund" apparently decided, after thinking
it over, that should be honest with the Gov
eminent with his fellow citizens. Which Is
thought many more could ponder with profit
