AN AMIABLE ADVENTURE
BY Amy Heminway Jones
The author assures you that this
book was written in the hope of
conveying some idea Of the joy
and fun of the trip she describes.
1t Is the overflow after a serious
report had been made to the En-
dowment upon that part of her
journey which was concerned with
its official work. You will find,
however, that even in a book on
the personal joy of travel refer
ences to grave conditions in China,
since then so tragically emphasized,
could not be avoided. The book
was written with Alcove readers
especially in mind and is, there
fore, included in this first install
ment going forward to you.
THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF
ANDREW CARNEGIE
BY Andrew Carnegie
A review of an autobiography al
ways seems rather futile since an
author is himself his best reviewer.
The only adequate way in which
to judge such a book is to read it
and Alcove readers can hardly fail
to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to come in contact with the
personality of the founder Of thi

It should be joy even to handle
this book with its lovely decorations
for the beginning and ending of
chapters and the general set-up and
printing. The life and originality
displayed in the colored drawings
are reproduced on every page OF
the text; in short, it is delightful
book full of casual eminent, of love

nation. It also deals with a strate-
gic part of the world Of which we
may at any time hear more par

Londoners had stood in the streets and seen German planes crashing to destruction, and in some cases Ger man pilots parachuting down into London streets to be made prison CTS.
 Air Ministry Reports
 The air and home security minis tries in a joint communique on the nights bombing said:
 "Enemy air attacks in this country were continued during the night by a succession of small groups of bombers. These attacks were direct ed mainly against London areas and surrounding districts but smaller number also were made against other parts of the country. In Lon- don, the attacks were spread over a wide area and damage was done to houses, commercial premises and other buildings.
 "Once again attacks were directed against hospitals, three of them be- ing damaged by bombs.
 Throughout the country bombs fell on many rural districts but with little result.
 "In northwest and southeast Eng land and South Wales and some other districts, including one town in South England, some damage was caused. One enemy bomber was shot down during the night.
 yesterday 185 enemy aircraft were destroyed, seven of them by anti-aircraft guns and the remainder by our fighters. One hundred and thirty-one of the enemy aircraft were bombers. Five of our fighter aircraft previously reported missing have now reported to their bases. Our losses yesterday therefore were 25 fighter aircraft, but l2 pilots are safe"
 Used New Tactics
 After their terrible losses yester- day, the Germans used new tactics today. One formation of Dornier bombers was packed so tight to- gether that the wing tips of the planes seemed almost touching. The remainder of the bomber fleet was spread wide in groups of twos and threes.
 The formations met intense anti aircraft fire and twisted and turned to avoid the shells.
 Inland, British fighter planes raced up to challenge them. Their machine guns opened. The German planes turned, reformed, reapproach- ed, then fled for home with the fighters after them. Six Messer- schmidt fighters turned tail and fled in disorder.
 It was estimated that six London districts and 40 or more outlying dis tricts had been bombed during the big day yesterday.

(Continued from Page D live, dug a one ton bomb from 8 crater 27 1-2 feet deep beside the Cathedral yesterday and took it through cleared streets to the Hack ney marshes, in the northeastern suburbs, where they exploded it. It blew hole 100 feet wide in the ground and loosened plaster in houses all over the area. This morning, thanks to the bomb squad, traffic was bustling around the Cathedral, an island sur- rounded by main streets, and the famous pigeons of St. Paul were cooing contentedly as bird lovers fed them for the first time in four days. A placard on the Cathedral, whose services were cancelled yesterday be- cause ~ G4nger from the bomb, read:
 "In time of war the Cathedral is open daily for prayer"
 The bomb had fallen at the edge of the deans yard as the southwest end of the Cathedral.
 Every Second Was Rush
 For three days, 1t was now dis closed, bomb squad men had been working to neutralize and remove it, every minute at risk of being blown to pieces.
 Not long after the bomb squad men began digging, under Lieut. R. Davies, they found that the bomb had broken a six incii gas main. Three men were overcome. Gas company volunteers were called in when tn gas caught fire. No one knew how close the bomb was to the flames.
 The gas was cut of and the bomb section volunteers dug down 27 Ia feet before they unearthed the bomb. It looked like gigantic hog, about eight feet long, fitted with myriad fuses that made 1t dangerous even to touch it. Furthermore a high polish had been given to 1t in its passage through the subsoil so that it was difficult to handle. l Each Worker Realized
 Every nan on the job knew that both his own life and the existence of the historic Cathedral depended on his courage and skill.
 Special tackle was necessary to raise the bomb. Twice on the way up it slid back, and it seemed 1t must explode. But it was raised safely.
 Two trucks were lashed together and the bomb put on them. Lieut.. Davies himself took the wheel and drove it as fast as he dared through streets which police had cleared of all traffic.
 Streets were reopened to traffic around St. Paul's as soon as the bomb had been taken away and the

 The personnel of the local draft boards, under the act. is appointed by the president. However. MT. Roosevelt plans to follow the recom- mendations made by state governors which means in effect that the lo- cal boards will be chosen by the gov- ernor.
 Waterbury's Quota
 It is estimated that close to Is per cent of the states population of 100000 will be obliged to register for the draft. Estimates on the num- Der of men that Connecticut will actually send into a years military training still vary. Waterbury's quota may be about 450 or 500. Appeal boards are to be set up in each county, to which men will be allowed to present their claims that they should not be called for serv- ice. The appeal boaros, like the draft boards will serve without com- pensation, Each draft board will have the services of an appeal agent and doctor. the latter to be recom- mended by the state medical asso- citation.
 The directors of each of the g registration points in the city will be appointed by the Waterbury reg istrars of voters, John T. Derwin and Albert O. Taller. The registra- tion cards filled out by the men be- tween q and 35 will be turned over to Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin, who will list them for the draft boards.
 Questionnaires will then be sent to each regiStrant to i'll out and re. turn. After the questionnaires are filed and classified, the draft board begins actual selection of men to go into training from Waterbury.

STATE FUNERAL
 FOR BANKHEAD
Continued from Page D

(COnG1nUeQ from Page D dlewest, telephoned the White House last night from Des Moines, Ia., in- forming MT. Roosevelt that he will attend the Alabama services.
 Pressure of international events will exclude Secretary of State Cor dell Hull from the funeral trip and the state department will be repre- sented by Undersecretary Sumner Welles, Early said. Hull plans tc attend the house rites, however.
 The formal program reserved place for Vice President John N Garner who went home to Uvalde Tex, after the Democratic National convention and who still is there Word from Texas was that he would be unable to attend either the Serv- ices here or those at Bankhead'S home in Jasper, Ala.
 Funeral Tomorrow
 The funeral services at Jasper will be held in the First Methodist church at 2:30 p. m. (3:30 p. m EDT) tomorrow. The speaker will be buried near his parents.
 If anything could persuade Gar ner to leave Uvalde, it would be to help his protege Rayburn get him. self elected speaker of the house. But Rayburn needs no help. He is in.
 Nor would MT. Roosevelt be ex- pected to raise a finger against Ray burns promotion from house leader schip although the new No. l man form Texas committed the poten- tially fatal blunder of endorsing Garner for Democratic presidential nomination on August 12, 1889. Long before his loyalty to fellow Texan could get him into serious trouble at the White House, both Rayburn and Garner knew the latter's can- didacy was hopeless. So the new speakers opposition to a third term was more nominal than actual.
 And he is a good new dealer, to boot. Rayburn rammed through the house as chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee such notable new deal bfYis ss those dealing with regulation of securities marketing and rural identification, and the famous death sentence" on public utilities holding companies.
 The late speakers family, includ- ing Talullah Bankhead, the daugh- ter ranked among the first women of stage, attended congressional services. He also is survived by his wife and another daughter, Mrs. Eugenia Hoyt.
 Tribute of President
 Washington, Sept. 16 - (UP0 - President Roosevelt, cruising aboard the U. s. s. Potomac on the Poto- mac river when notified of Speaker William B. Bankhead's death, ra- dioed the following tribute:
 Tn the untimely death of the speaker every American loses a tried and proven friend of our system of government. His experience, his fairness and his personality had en- deared him to his colleagues and to all who knew him. I personally feel his loss deeply because for many long years his family and mine have been friends and he and I held each other in affectionate regard"

mans and they do not underrate British competence and tenacity.
 Italian Advice.
 Having no such intensified feeling of thwarted ambition which domi- mates German animosity against Britain, the Italians are able to ob- tain a better perspective. Their ad- vice to Germany would certainly be against taking reckless chances in the war.
 An example of uncertainties which the Italians seem to feel is the long threatened invasion of Great Brit ain. It had been consistently re- ported that the invasion was to be- gin during this past weekend. If 1t had started in accordance with such predictions, because of the full moon, the Channel weather alone would have worked havoc with the German transport bargeS and small craft.
 A semi-gale suddenly appeared in the Channel on Sunday which would have caught the Germans as troops and supplies we're crossing Later in the day the wind moder- ated but blew from the British coast, which in itself would have ham, pered landing operations through the surf. laslled by the preceding heavy weather. Such unpredictable conditions emphasize the value of Italy's restraining influence.
 Italian caution and realism must be expected 70 show themselves in North African operations. The movement of Italian troops across the Libyan frontier toward the sandy spaces of the Western Egyp- tan desert has not yet taken the form of c major offensive.

IS
 SIGNED TODAY
(Continued from Page D

Early gave no hint as to the exact nature of the proclamation and ex- ecutive order, but it was assumed they would designate a director of the draft, set up machinery for a nationwide series of conscription and registration boards, and fix the date upon which every American male from q to 35 must register as potential member of the nations armed forces.
 Signing of the bill coincides with mobilization of 60,500 National Guardsmen from 26 states today The group comprises the first con- tingent of militiamen to be called to the colors under the plan to train the National Guard in the art of modern warfare. The mobilized men will spend a year in intensive train- ing.
 Called Two Weeks Ago
 The National Guardsmen were called to the colors by the president two weeks ago to undergo a year of training with the regular army. He acted under the National Guard mobilization act. The guardsmen will report today at their armories to receive full equipment, undergo phy- sical examinations and take the oath of allegiance to the United States government. Within 10 days the Army is expected to absorb them at training centers previously desig- mated. During the first two weeks the guard units will be reduced about IS per cent by resignations of those with dependents, physical dis ability and because some are needed in important defense jobs. These losses will be made up by a recruit ing drive.
 The conscription bill will become law as soon as President Roosevelt signs it. But three important steps then must be taken by him to set into motion the elaborate conscrip- tion machinery.
 l. Name a board to administer the law. All appointees will receive more than 95, 900 annually subject to approval by the senate.
 2. Proclaim a registration day on which all male citizens and aliens from 21 to 35 years old inclusive, would be required to register at local polling places.
 3. Obtain an appropriation from congress to finance the cost of train- ing an estimated 300, 900 conscripts the first year. A request for nearly $2,000, 100000 already has been sent to congress.
 When these moves have been com- pleted the draft machinery, which has been planned ever since World War days. will be ready to go into operation. About @ month later probably about Nov. 15-The first class of conscripts will be called to the colors for a year of military training.
 After preliminary arrangements and registration of the estimated 16,500, 900 men in the 21-35 age span the machinery of selecting and in. ducting them into the Army would move rapidly. But observers be. lieved that the process would sacri- flee speed to efficiency in order to maintain as much good will as pos- sible toward the conscription system
 More than 6.000,000 men are ex- pected to be placed in class A-l. which means that they are phy- sically iit for military training. have no dependents and do not hold im- portant industrial jobs. Of this number less than 10 per cent. or 100000 viii be called this fail and ., like number in April.
