venture fiction, Edison Marshall

research for and the writing of a
bold, winning, fine historical ROM
ance and adventure story in the
good manner. Benjamin Blake" is
a big robust novel.
Godfrey Blake, squire of Brett
holm Manor, ran off to Indian with
a gunsmith's daughter, leaving the
estate in the hands of his brother
Arthur, a cruel and domineering
man. Benjamin Blake was the or
phan of Godfrey's liaison and he
had been raised by his grandfath-
er, the gunsmith. AS his chron-
icle opens Ben is taken from the
care of his grandfather and, "to
teach him his place." is put to work
by Squire Blake at Breetholm.
Squire Blake hated Ben because
he was Godfrey's son and because
his spirit was too tough to break.
With the autocratic power at the
disposal of gentleman and land
holder at that time, Squire Blake
did his utmost to turn Ben into
a humble, bowling slave. While
Ben endured the treatment that was
given him, he swore to himself

OUT OF THE NIGHT
BY Jan Valtin

Out of the depths of that politi-
cal undertoy, which for the last two
decades has rolled beneath the sur
face stream of civilization, comes
this shattering autobiography of
Jan Valtin, the child of the genera
ton nobody knows. You will once
recognize that "Out of the Night"
is unlike any other book, and is
sure to mark a milestone in the
literature of our age.
The story of Valtin's life is the
story of the generation reared be-
tween the two world wars, a gen.
Grafton Of idealists turned plotters,
Of dreamers turned careerists, of
rebels turned assassins. It is
story of a generation caught in
the nets of it's own weaving, a
generation which sacrificed love on
the altar of dogma, which prac-
ticed inhumanity at the shrine of
humanity, which worshipped cata-
clysm as the road to progress and
idealized brutality as the avenue
to freedom.
"Out Of the Night" is a ruthless
autobiography. The author makes
no apologies. He does not spare
himself. Without mercy he re-
mains true to himself to the end,
for he bares his life without SEN
timentalities, and in doing so he
has given us a book which is as
terrifying as the world he depicts
and as revealing as the human pen
can make 1t.

Boys Bring Pictures,
Souvenirs From Abe
Golf Begins To
Attract Attention
Big talk this week in bowling
circles is still the American Bowl
ing Congress. Those boys who
were down there are calendaring
it as a banner event in their lives.
Those who weren't there are
plying questions at them with I'M
abated tempo all through the week.
All of them were impressed
with one thing in particular. The
spectular sight of seeing two hun
dred bowlers march out at one time
for the shift, watching the settlers
move as one, and hearing all forty
balls go kiting down the alleys at
one time.

for the shift, watching the settlers
move as one, and hearing all forty
balls go kiting down the alleys at
one time.
There is this much about par
ticipation in events such as
these. It's good builder of pros
pective. 1t gets the boys out
in competition that makes them
hustle and plenty, and it gives
them a large picture of what
bowling has become in this
country. Today it Is the
most popular individually-sup-
ported game i'm the country. 1t
got its real start some two or
three years ago when alleys
began invading the small towns.
It was two years ago that Sank
Centre got its alleys. Alexandria
were Osakis and Long Prairie. . Z.
There is this much about the ul-
innate advent of alleys in these
small towns. Without them ST.
Paul would probably never have
had the ABC. The Congress was
reluctant to bring it to the Min
nesota city by virtue of the fact
it was felt sufficient bowling in
terest did not exist here, that st.
Paul for the rest of the country
was a bit off center.
They did not reckon with the
enthusiasm of Minnesota bowl
ers. have never known
a group of fellows and girls
who go so absolutely ga-ga
about q game. They have
to be that way when you con-
slider they are going through
three league sessions of 20
weeks duration. That's a
long time to be hoped up about
any one thing. 1 doubt If any
other game could command
that much attention from an
otherwise tickle public.
OF these fellows of four teams
here who went to the Abe, it has
made confirmed bowlers. You could
not pry them away from the game
now with a team of horses. :.
Mark Franta's els was high
for Sank Centre singles last
Wednesday and undoubtedly it
will hit in the money column.
=. Last year ABC paid off
on scores in the later 5OO's, but
individuals have been running
little stronger this year.
Next in line was Bill BensOn's
SOS and Len jacobson was in
third spot. Franta's three
games a 215, 176 and 224, laid
him up there on the payOff
shelf. ..
Vic Sieben says he hauled off
and threw two balls down the gut
ter during the big event. But
it was fun and did he get the razz.

Nathe, Lose your shirt at the

Joe Kane was one of the fell
lows who went down with the
first team in March. Their team
didn't rank such high average
players, but they went down
there and just missed by Is
pins of hitting in the money.
e. Joe admits he had buck
fever when he went to toss the
apple down the alley. But he
is also gleefully admitting that
their team did 20 pins better
than the best efforts of the
other three teams that went
last week.

 While she rested ct the hospital, Pamela told of having heard autos whizzing along c road somewhere below her on several occasions. She said she tried to find the road out lost her way in the thickets.
 It was while driving along this scenic highway shortly after Parn- ella disappeared that Mrs. Thelma Knight, of Augusta, Me, 0 former school teacher, saw e child answer ing Pamela's description seated on e rock. After arriving home she learned of the search and returned to Conway to make her report. A 72-man posse made an initial search of the area Sunday and yesterday discovered footprints that led to the child.

 Indicative of the widespread in. terest in Pamela's plight, scores of congratulatory telegrarns were rec ceived by her parents. One message came from the father of Dom Fen. dler of Rye, N. Y., who as 6 l2- year.old Boy Scout was lost for eight days in a Maine wilderness In 1889.

 The Red Air Force in this region was credited with knocking out o2 tanks and 104 German armored cars and troop carriers. The German tanks, it was said, succeeded in pen- etrating Russian positions but Red infantrymen managed to destroy a dozen with bottles of gasoline.

 Red Star asserted that Hitler, threading the prospect of a long war and desiring to achieve decision before winter, has thrown all his available resources into an attempt 10 smash the Red army.
