Kings Highwoy
By Lucille Papin Borden. Mac

By Lucille Pdpin Borden. Mac
milan, Ne1O York.
This is another novel in which
Mrs. Borden follows the turbulent
experiences of the remarkable Star
forth family.
Fleeing the religious prosecutions
prevailing in England under the
reign of the bigoted and aging Queen
Elizabeth, the Starforths and a few
companions set forth in search of
freedom of worship in the New
World. They land first on the
shores of what are now the Caro-
linas. Later, they push north to St.
Croix, the primitive colony founded
by Jacques Cartier on the banks of
the mighty st. Lawrence. Here, the
SOjournerS meet adventure galore.
linked mostly with the struggles of
the Jesuit missionaries to civilize and
Christianize the Indians. Leading
In these efforts are Kenneth Star
forth, the priest; his brother David,
their sister Elspeth, and her young
and lovely daughter Firth.
The love interest is developed
through the romance of Firth and
the youthful Indian chief, Idris, a
forceful and high-minded character,
whom she eventually marries.
The predominating value of King
Highway" in the opinion Of this re-
viewer, lies in the generous tribute
it pays to the heroism and worthy
purpose of the Jesuits-a tribute
which springs from a simple and
faithful portrayal of the hardships
endured by the Starforths and
others Of their faith in the crude
surroundings of a frontier settle
ment. GLADYS WOOD DANIEL.

The Fighting LittIes
BIZ Booth TQrkinQ

By Booth Harrington. Dou-
bleday, Doran Co., Ne,D York.
This new novel finds Mr.. Tark-
ington back in his old familiar mood
of Seventeen" and Gentle julia"
with a dash or so of "Penrod." The
titular head of the family is Mr.
Little, the irascible father who can't
begin to understand his children
and thinks anybody between the
ages of 13 and 20 nowadays seems
to belong to some other planet, like
the new kind of politicians" Mr.
Little likes Mr.. Hitler just slightly
less than he does the New Deal.
The book is full of gentle pokes at
everything from jitterbugs to Com
munism. 1t is not one of the au-
thor's best efforts, but he shows he
has lost none of his great talent to
satirize, amiably. the contemporary
American family. ]. v. RuP7H4 +.

Spice 1t For Flavor

Right now. the wise thing for
every housekeeper to do Isl first,
to value all spices more, and re-
gard them as precious ingredients
of the kitchen. Second, she
should understand their use and
Importance in the family diet;
third. she must realize that spice
makes good foods taste better,
and tasteless foods taste good,
hence, when food costs are soar

spice-and thus make the cheap
meat cut taste as appetizing as
the prime cut. or raise the flavor
value OF simple ingredients by
sophisticated splicing.
Mustard today vies with pep

spice, and not all mustard is used
in the kitchen, either. The use
OF mustard is as old as history.

mustard the seasoning we know

the early eighteenth century,
Mrs. Durham developed a thriv-

mustard seeds into a condiment.

delicate process on which de-

volatile oils are also used medi-
cinally, while the husks are COM
pressed for fertilizer. Research
shows that mustard added TO the
bathwatcr helps relieve fatigue
and nervous tension.
The smart housekeeper uses
mustard as an ingredient OF her
zestfui sauces. especially on such
bland foods as eggs. beans.
noodles, etc. and on many vege-
tables OF the cabbage tribe.

Of cutting garlic in pieces to put
