Who Walk Alone
BIZ Perry Burgess.

~ Perry burgess. Ne1D YORK.
Henry Holt & Co.
The author of this book, described
as the autobiography of a leper,"
is national director of the Ameri-
can Leprosy Foundation. The story
he tells is as follows:
Young Ned Langford-living in
midwestern town, managing his
fathers trucking business and start
ing to build a home for himself and
the girl to whom he has just be-
come engaged-is badly burned one
night while helping to rescue horses
from fire in a stable. Despite the
seriousness of his injury, certain
areas on his burned arm give no
pain. Medical examination reveals
that he has leprosy, probably con-
tracted nine years before while he
was serving as soldier in the
Philippines.
Realizing what this means to his
hopes and plans and to his family,
Ned does the best he can: With the
assistance of Doctor Bill" and his
younger brother, he is convincingly
reported dead and assumes another
name. He goes to New York and
takes treatments from noted
specialist for year-but at the end
of the year he is worse. Then ar
rangements are made for his re-
moval to Culion Island, in the Philip
pines, the leper colony now known
as the Leonard Wood Memorial En-
route, he comforts and makes
friends with native child, Thomas
Aguilar, who also is leper with
the same destination. When they
are established at Culion, Thomas
becomes his houseboy and is like
son to him.
After doing everything possible
to make their quarters both livable
and beautiful, Ned finds he must
keep working or go crazy thinking
about his fate. With the co-opera-
ton and approved of the colony
officials, he organizes the men in
fishing business and later is the
leader in building and operating an
electric power plant for the island.
Despite all this, and the kindness
of those in authority, there are
times when it is all too much for
him and he gives up temporarily.
But he fights good fight, despite
the course of the disease which no
treatment can cure or check.
1t is especially difficult when Ca
rita and Sancho, sister and brother
in one of the families with which
Ned stayed when stationed in the
Philippines, come to Culion as
patients. Sancho, in the last stage
of leprosy, dies soon after his arrival.
The old love of Ned and beautiful,
half-Spanish, half Filipino Carita
is renewed. The treatment is eff
fective with Carita, and she is event.
ually dismissed as an arrested case.
They never marry, but their love
grows into friendship which is of
great inspiration to both.
This is not a cheerful story, Ger
tainly, but a brave one. And read
ing 1t makes every day run-of-the-
mill troubles seem small In com.

GEORGE H. PADDOCK.
No. n Castle Street

By H. w. Kats. Ne1p York:
Viking Press.
This is translation of hitherto
unpublished book written in German
by a Jew whose parents migrated to
Germany from Eastern Europe.
First, the scorn the German Jews
felt for the Jewish immigrants from
Russia, Poland and other Eastern
European countries is graphically
described from unique standpoint,
that of child who feels himself
part of the German Jewish world,
yet whose parents are among the
despised race. A German public
school during the days of the first
World War is portrayed. The atti-
tudes and reactions of both children
and teachers are made vivid Grow
ing anti-Semitism and its mani
festations in the school world, its
spread to the community, the growth
of Nazism are all viewed through the
eyes of an intelligent boy and youth.
In addition to being record of
a tremendously important era in
German and international history
from a viewpoint that has not often
been expressed, this is a moving
novel of the growth of an individual.
The author is sensitive, keenly
active person with the faculty of
seeing himself in relation to his en-
vironment as it reacts on himself.
He has the gift of making both his
young self and his environment
become entirely alive for the reader.

SHORT CALENDAR
 SESSION TODAY
Lawyers Following Argu= mentS Ordered to File
 Shorter Statements

Judge John F. McDonough pre- sided this morning at short calender session of the court of common pleas at the county court building on Kendrick avenue. The session was very quiet one, with only ten cases on the docket, of which only a few were discussed to- day.
 The mornings longest discussion was between States attorney Will liam B. Fitzgerald and Atty. John H. Cassidy, in case of Rosi Tysko against the town of Watertown, on motion to seperate the charges in the case.
 Considerable discrepancies in the arguments of the two lawyers were explained when it was discovered that they had differing copies of the complaints under discussion. It was necessary to compare both copies with the one held by Judge McDonough to discover which was the correct one. Finally, the judge ordered both attorney to file shorter statements of their respective claims within one week.
 Attorneys A. w. Hummel and J. E. Russell also indulged in debate over the motion for more specific statement filed by the defense in the case of Frederick W. Cramer and others against George A. Maus- off. Atty. Russell appeared for the defense, and sought more specific statement by the plaintiffs of the charges made in the original con- plaint. Judge McDonough decided to take the papers in the case, to consider whether more specific statement were necessary.
 In three cases, the court ordered the filing of an answer to a motion for judgment within one week. The cases so disposed of were Maria Fammilglietti against the City of Waterbury; Agnes D. Peden against the city, and Fanny Silverman, also against the city. In each case Atty. A. L. Finkelstein represents the plaintiff. and Attys. J. G. Lynch and T. s. Sullivan the defendant. In the case of Julia P. Strong against Grace D. Mercer, Judge Mo Donough ordered the disclosure of the defense within one week. r The cases of Harry Szerlip and others against Charles F. Hlavacek and others, and of Lillian Stellat against Antilio Zaccaria and others were carried over. The case of Car mella Marine againts the Lithuan- ian Alliance of America has been withdrawn from the docket.

Prepare for Lively Battle to Capture Nomination
 in l6th.D District

Senator Edward P. Egan will for- mally open his campaign for re- nomination as the Democratic stan- dardbearer in the 16th district at a meeting tonight. The gathering, to be attended by Egan supporters from the fourth and fifth wards, will be held at Egan headquarters, in the Casey building, 552 Baldwin street.
 Senator Egan, a member of the board of finance, won the Demo- cratic nomination in the district two years ago and was elected cas- fly.
 Opposing him for the. nomination are ex-Senator Joseph H. Lawlor who was not a candidate two years ago, and William 'Tipper" Conley who was defeated by Egan at the senatorial convention in 1888. Law 1or's headquarters, in the State the ater building on East Main street, have been open for several weeks.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully yesterday announced that he will remain neu- tral in the 16th district contest, though in the 18th district he has endorsed Attorney Michael V. Blans- field for the nomination. Blansfield is opposed by the Democratic in- cumbent, Senator George T. Gull hane.
 The meeting of the Egan-for- Senator group tonight is scheduled to begin at o'clock.
