Book Highlights

Jesse Stuart is by nature a poet.
Several volumes of his verse have
been published. And so it seems
normal, in the course of events,
that when Stuart writes a novel,
it should retain much of the poetic
charm that runs through his other
works.
"Trees of Heaven" Outton:
$3.50 is such a book. Stuart has
written it in a melodic sort Of
prose, abetted by the use of the
present tense throughout. 1t is a
style you might easily get tired
of, but somehow you don't. And the
unconventional mode of presentat-
ion won't wear on you nearly as
much as you might anticipate.
The novel tells the story of two
families-the Bushmans, moderat-
ely well-to-do landowners, and the
Tussies, impoverished squatters. 1t
is laid in Kentucky, but it is not
another Tobacco Road" This
struggle between the 'haves" and
'have-nots" might just as well
have taken place in Florida or in
Minnesota.
Anse Bushman loves the land.
His desire to become the largest
landowner in the county has made
him tlght-fisted, exacting. His
wife. F~ronniev, has worm herself
out to help Anse achieve his goal;
and of their seven children, only
Travin remains at home to help
his father till the soil.
Boliver Tussie also loves the land
particularly that piece of lane
which Anse buys to enlarge his
farm. But Boliver is lazy, sluggish.
Anse would never have permitted
him to remain on the farm as a
sharecropper had it not been fol
Tarvin's persuasion-Tarvin's love
for Subrinea Tussie, daughter Of
Boliver.
Anse finally forces the Tussies
off his land, sets out grimly to
cultivate his own land without the
aid of renters. And then there's
an accident in the woods and Anse
is hurt. From that point, Trees
of Heaven" swings swiftly to its
pleasant end.
If you like earthly stories, you'll
like this one. And you will most
certainly enjoy the illustrations by
Wood Ismael, peculiarly suited te
the spirit of the book.

Only Woman On Defense Board
Will Keep Eye On Price Lists

House yesterday, she frankly ad-
mltted she didn't know at the mo-
ment just how she would begin her
new job.
i've got to think it through and
work out a plant" she explained.
Her first step, though, will be to
set up a bureau of statisticians to
help her chart the zig-zags in the
price Of butter, cabbages and socks.
Miss Elliott has the air Of a dean
who could understand that some.
times it might be important to cut a
math class. She also gives the i'm
preston of being a confident exc.
cutive-one who years ago organized
the women of North Carolina to get
out and get the vote.
She long has been interested in
welfare problems. She is president of
the North Carolina conference of
social service and was formerly &C.
tive in the state relief administra.

America great
machine tool industry - a three
Observation-Disclosures business in
1899, employing sixty thousand
mems ready to start the ball
rolling on President Roosevelt's
So 900 warplane program.
This industrial key to the speed
up of national defense is ready
largely because allied demands of
the past two years have geared up
its capacity.
The industry believes it can do
its part, but it fears a shortage of
skilled labor in plane factories and
a tremendous traffic jam in the
whole arms program unless indus
try takes over the actual planning
in Washington.
These are the opinions OF lead
ing spokesman for the industry in

tool industry.
TOOLS MUST

ers, presses, any sort OF power

small bench outfit to a $15O,0O0
giant, are the master tools Of in

tanks for the army, ships for the
navy, machine tools must be ready
first.
The industry has been getting
ready since 1888 when it began
filling allied orders, its first real
business since 1929. It is now rum
ming at SO per cent Of capacity.
and capacity has been increased
10 per cent since Jan. l, 1910. With
completion of next falls plane pro-
gram the industry will be turning
out tools to make 1000 planes a
month, and expects to reach 1000
a month by spring.
Seventy types of machines have
been specially devised for the al
lies program. The industry ex-
poets to use most Of these imme-
diately in the U. S. program.
With the allied orders, the in
