threatening to paralyze the whole
Of Rumanian life, he refrained."
Carol, he said, then attempted to
hold his grip on the nation by per-
scouting both Rumanian National
lists and Communists.
Urdareanu was reported to have
raised hands which trembled and in
faltertng voice exclaimed:
They'll kill me if we are sent
back to Rumania. How is extradi-
ton possible?"
Notified by Chief of Police.
The chief of police notified the
royal party at their hotel.
Through the partly opened door
Nine. Lupescu listened to the OPEN
ing conversation The news per-
haps was not altogether a surprise
since the Madrid newspaper, Arriba,
organ OF the Spanish Falangists,
hinted yesterday that she and
Urdareanu might be compelled to
return to Rumania to face trial.
Urdareanus emaciated face be-
came tense.
His majesty should hear about
this" he said weakly.
Then he and Nine Lupescu with

the police chief
The King, it was reported, could
scarcely conceal his astonishment.
Who, pray. gave you those or

spirits that they did not eat.
Reports from Bucharest had
quoted Rumanian officials as saying
that the government had decided to
ask for the extradition of Nine. Lu-
pescu and Urdareanu. The Iron
Guard in Rumania has demanded
the arrest and trial of Nine. Lu-
pescu

The authors have taken a good
idea about the lives and work of
medical men and pilots in the naval

much nautical slang that it becomes
a high-grade pulp magazine story
bound in book form.

who has gone through medical

1t. Stickneys first great problem

in their select group at Pensacola.
Being nOn-fyer, this is not easy, but
he succeeds. ater he receives flying

self. First, however, he makes of
himself human guinea pig by
noting his own reactions in planes

pilots and planes are unaccount-

Mathematics and the

'''~ s'S
By EdDard Kasner and James
Ne1Dmdn. NeU York.: Simon
& SchuSter.
You can put the sun in your vest
pocket.
You can prove that three plus two
equals zero.
You can draw a map of three
countries all of whose frontiers COIN
eide at every point.
These are a few of the paradoxes
which Prof. Kasner and Mr.. New
man draw out of the grab bag Of
mathematics in volume which
contains some of the most lucid and
interesting expositions yet written
of such subjects of hyperdimen-
sional geometries and topology.
Mathematics is world of it's own.
1t has language of its own which
is extremely difficult to translate
even into the jargon of the physical
sciences, to say nothing of popular
speech. The translation is accom-
plished in this book about as well
as it has ever been accomplished.

The Convent
By Alyse Simpson. Ne,D Yoi

By Alyse Simpson. Ne,O York
Alfred A. Knopt.
This is the true story, told 20 years
after its happening, of young
Catholic girls attempt to enter a
nunnery, her realization that she
did not have, after all, true vo-
cation and her withdrawal as the
end of her novitiate drew near. In
all she was in the convent about
a year and half. She entered
against the wishes of her parents
and because she had been disap-
pointed in love- She believed genu-
inely that she was ready to dedi-
cate her life to her religion. When
she withdrew, however, she shortly
married the young man for whose
sake she had been prepared to re-
nounce the world. A sister novice
with whom, she was friendly asked
her to return after 20 years to make
a visit. She did so, and in the
vividness of the awakened memories
she wrote of her own girlhood ex-
perience.
The book is very well written and
one feels, painstakingly honest. The
extremely sensitive Catholic might
be hurt by it. but it should be re-
membered that the author pretends
to no general conclusion. She writes
the experience of one young woman
