Supplement to Music on
Records
By B. H. Haggin. Ne1D York:
Oxford University Press.

By B. H. Haggin. Neu York:
oxford University Press.
This is the first addition to "Mu-
sic on Records" which brings more
or less up to date Mr.. Haggin's sur
vey of the photographic field, pre-
dominantly classical and partly
jazz.
Mr.. Haggin hews to the same line.
showing the same general likes and
dislikes in the supplement as in the
parent volume, with the happy de-
Walton that he de-emphasies his
role as counselor to the uninitiate,
which part he undertook originally.
Although critic of experience, the
author purveys such prejudiced
views that it is questionable whether
he merits being trusted with that
responsibility. Mr.. Haggin's par
ticular state of opinionation is ut
terly uncompromising. There is
nothing like a moot topic to Mr..
Haggin; not only are record dev-
otees told how to mind their record
quality, but precisely what music to
select as the best" And this cur
rent prevails through the last page
of volume l to the last in the sup
plement.
In short, the reader will find that
he has constantly to keep a guarded
eye on everything this book offers.
Those just starting their record COL
lections would do better to rely on
their own ear than to count on the
guidance proposed by Mr.. Haggin.

some reason, the new effort does not
quite satisfy.
1t may be that the story is
bit too much on the psychological
side. At any rate, it is presented
as "a psychological study of the
hidden recesses of mems minds" :"
Such studies have the power to hold
the interest of the average reader
only If those hidden recesses" are
really worth looking into. This
reviewer, for one, can think Of
many minds into which he would
not want to have the briefest peep.
And that, it seems to him, is the
weakness of THAT Which Is Hid
den'-the minds it probes Just aren't
worth very much probing.
In justice to Mr.. Hichens it must
be added, however, that his story
has its strong points, too. 1t is
we'll written, for one thing, and, for
another, some of its dialogue is the
work of the master wordssmith that
he has shown himself to be in the
past. But it takes more than that
to make first-rate novel-and
more than that this latest bit of
Hichensiana simply does not have.

Library Meets Demands
For Books on the War

The present European conflict
claims a large share of the atten-
ton of the civilized world, and men
turn inevitably to the last war for
explanations and illustrations of
various phases of this one. Many
questions on the subject presented
at the Public Library, Eighth and K
streets NV. can be answered from
its European war collection of ex-
cellent commentaries and narratives
of personal experience.
Basil Liddell Hart, British Off
Ger and authority on military tac-
tics, gives a good short history OF
the war in his War in Outline,
and for more detailed and per-
sonal account one should read VIM
ston Churchills World Crisis
Here history seems most literally tc
have repeated itself, for Mr.
Churchill is again occupying the

Thus Answered Mazda" should
be read with a note pad and a
pencil by your side. Why? Because
you will need to make some deduc-

where you are heading. But your
goal is we'll worth while.
You will become entangled in the
allegorical and scientific as you
listen to the guidance of "the Spirit
of Light to a better world. You
are seized with a cataleptic fit, then
you 60 into a somnambulistic trance,
then you dance and frolic with a

a goat you cannot be anasyntaxed.
But the spirit of ancient Greece
in the modern world of science leads
you on to the ultimate bliss when
man and nature will be one, and
in which man will make the fullest
use of his spiritual and scientific
potentialities. c. H. S.

After This

By Ryland Kent. NeU York:
Harper & Bros.
The question of life after death
has puzzled the man in the street,
as well as the philosopher, since the
beginning OF time. A few brave per-
sons have endeavored to put their
thoughts into writing and then prove
that these thoughts are logical. Now
comes Ryland Kent with a still
newer Interpretation of the riddle.
His novel starts somewhat like the
play, outward Bound" A motley
list of passengers sail for India
the usual fed-up-on-life adventures,
the overearnest, cynical young man,
two gangsters, a bishop and his
wife, missionary, the nouveau
richie businessman, two children
and others. Mr.. Kent subtly draws
the character of each individual
before terrific explosion sinks the
ship.
The author then shuffies his char
acterS so that no two types are
together when they awaken in his
heaven" world in which the
individual is free to do whatever
he wishes, whether good or bad.
Mr.. Kent has shown originality
in this novel. BY taking an ordinary
conception, adding zest and sparkle
to it, dressing the whole with Wig
orous imagination, he has a formula
entitled to attention. j. K,
