The Princess

Fdrrdr & Rinehart.

By Phil St0ng. NelU York
Fdrrdr & Rinehart.
Mr.. Stong. after diving back into
pioneer history for the material of
his last few novels, has here re-
turned to modern Iowa. His story
is just nice commercial fiction. 1t
tells of the success in farming of one
Arnhold Edeson. a fine looking girl,
and of ArnholdS apparent corre-
spondent failure in love. She is at
the opening of the story, great on
agriculture, but short on the emo
tions. at least as far as superficial
judgments go. But then, finally,
there comes the right maxwell,
Mr.. Stong is now writing like thai.
The one thing that gives his book
a little individuality Is its gallery
of picturesque. rustic characters,
but of even these the reviewer is
obliged TO say unkindly that they
seem more like ruSticS on the stage
tbeing professionally hearty, frank.
down -to-earthy and all that than
like any recognizable farm people
Still. the book is the kind of plot,
sentiment and atmosphere that the
public usually likes. 1t probably
will sell well. In his autobiography,
published recently. Mr.. Stong con-
fessed that he had written a vast
deal which never got published be-
fore he finally made a name for
himself. Maybe now that he has
won that guerdon, he feels a little
like getting some of his time back.
The present book would indicate as
much. at any rate. NC. r.

By Jack Harding Indidnapo-
lis: BobbS-MerriU Co.
This is travel book of the wise
cracking, happy-go-lu lucky variety
The author went to Brazil by
freighter out of New Orleans and
assembled the Amazon by slow
steamboat. He also few and mo-
tored about. visiting cities less ia
nous than Rio-Belem. Recife, Sal
vador, Sac paulo. He did all this. as
he frankly says, to get material"
for a book. and that about decribes
the book now that it is gotten.
1t combines personal experiences
with Baedeker information and
quite a bit of Brazilian history in
the familiar manner of the ma
terial-hunting globe trotter. But
the great interest In South America
which Americans are feeling at this
time confers on the work a larger
value than such volumes ordi-
narily have. 1t is Brazil up to
date. administered painlessly-just
enough serious statistical stuff on
trade, industries, labor conditions,
public health, education, and so on.
to make the reader feel that he
has learned something, but no head
aches in the form Of graphs and

By Claire MacMurray. NeW
York. Frederick A Stokes Co.
In a light hearted series of anec-
dotes this Cleveland matron talks
about her children and lets them
talk for themselves. The way they
talk is the principal charm of the
book. Alternating with sketches of
her children's doings are some
times piercing. sometimes obvious
comments on a number of things.
varying from the way wives greet
their homecoming husbands TO the
hazards of moving day. One of
the best sketches in the book is a
restrained attack on the motorist
who ran over the household pet.
She ends it: "Oh, well, the death
of much loved pet is very small
sorrow in large and tragic world.
But boys world isn't very big"
The authoress, Mrs. Clair Mac
Murray Howard in private life,
turns her sense Of humor on her
self at intervals and with amusing
results. She recalls her moment
of fame as a straggly haired fairy
in a Christmas play, devotes a rue
full couple of pages to dieting and
the search for beauty and recounts
her struggle to make dinner con-
versation with three young sons a
thing of dignity and a JOY forever.
Mrs. Howard never claims her
boys are unusual They build air.
planes, demand nickels. go to camp
in the summertime, hate to get up
in the morning and are inclined to
protest against taking baths. 1t is
what they do and what they say
about it that make this little book
entertaining.

Explosions Heard, Fires Followed Them; German
 AirdrOme Is Bombed NAPLES, PALERMO IN
 SICILY ARE SMASHED Many Buildings Crash Down; Number of Dead
 Are Not Figured

London, January 9.-UPl British long range bomb ing planes attacked naval dockyards at Wilhelmshavel1 and Emden, Germany, dur ing the night and caused many explosions and large fires, the Air Ministry said today in a communique. (The Italian high command aIl- nounced that British planes had raided Naples and Palermo, Sicily, striking 15 buld- ings at Naples and killing five per. sons and wounding 20 there. There were no casualties and no important damage was done at Palermo, it was Said.)
 At wilhelmshaven many exploss ions were heard, and were foIowe6 by large fires" the Air Ministry salds More than 20 fires were started ae the docks at Ernden.
 Other aircraft bombed the Gere man airdrome on the Island of Bor- kun, where barracks were hit and a fire broke out.
 None of our aircraft are missing." ."
 The resumed offensive of the bomber command came after 8 suspension of activity since Sunday because of bad weather. For their raids, the British cens tered on the vital German naval area in the northwest. Wilhelms- haven and Emden are on opposite sides of the Friedland Peninsula. Borkum is off the coast beyond Enden.
 Hit Bad Weather
 RAF pilots encountered bad weather en route to WilhelmShaves Emden and Borkum, but visibility cleared over the targets and the raids were successful.
 Borkum had not been raided Tor some time, but from June until No- vember the RAF attacked it regu- larly, particularly when it was c seaplane base for laying magnetic mines around the British coast. It was recalled that during this per. iod the RAF maintained nightly security" patrols over all German bases from Sylt to Borkum. One night in November British pilots dumped high explosives on the Is-' land, causing huge fires and con. siderable devastation, according to an air ministry communique.
 In the meanwhile, air circles learned that the Germans had done 1 their utmost to repair the damage and it was believed that last nights raid was aimed at destroying the repair work and to restrict future activity for some time.
