Books on Two World Wars
BY Helen +. Sfeinbarger,
,onsultant in Adult Education, Public Libr,

Caldwell, who saw the Red Army IN
action, has written an impressive
account of its courage and efficiency
in "All Out on the Road to Smo-
lensk." For daring exploits closer to
home Commando Attack" by Cor
don Holman, should be read.
During the last war Germany's
aims were not so ambitious. Andre
Cheradame, in "The Pangerman
Plot Unmasked," warned the Allies
of the enemy's designs on Central
Europe. The author is doing the
same thing today in Defense for
the Americas" The plans of Japan,
the aggressor in the East, are re-
vealed in "Japan's Dream of World
Empire" by Giichi Tanaka.
Today's Picture.
How has fighting changed? For
the past methods suggested title is
Warfare of Today" by 1t. Col. Paul
Azan. Here will be found how troops
were trained, how they were to at
tack and how they might achieve
victory. For today's picture read
Marshall Andrews Our New Army"
Here is the latest information on the
training of paratroopers, the arm
ored forces and, in fact, all about the
Army and the schools. For an en-
tertaining and true picture read
"See Here, Private Hargrove," by
Marion Eergrove.
Seemingly, not 50 much attention
was given to postwar proolen D
years ago. Isaac Frederick Marcos
son, in WAR After the War and
Nicholas Murray Butler, in "A World
in Ferment." presented their plans
for durable peace Compare with
these Edward H. Carr'S conditions
Of Peace" and Problems of a Last
ing Peace" by Herbert c. Hoover
and Hugh Gibson.
Additional books on these subjects,
and others on different aspects of
the two wars, may be obtained at

Broken MELODY
By Ronald Ki7kbride. &C

By Ronald Kirkbride. (Cow-
ard-McCann.)
The title which Mr.. Kirkbride has
chosen for his story dealing with
the vicissitudes of a composer is
misleading, for the book leaves one
with the feeling that, although MOTH
ing definite has been accomplished
IN the way of public recognition, the
chances are all to the good that such
recognition will come.
What should cause Mr.. Kirk
brides name to be inscribed with
immortal pioneers is his solving of
the problem of how an American
composer of symphonic music is to
get a public hearing of his work
When Simon Lehman has exhausted
every legitimate means Of interest
ing Connwitz, conductor of the Glen
dale Community Orchestra, in per-
forming his tone poem, he decides
to picket the group.
Together with Mary Shaw, who
loves him and believes in his talent,
Simon marches in front of the
auditorium, where concert Is
scheduled, carrying banners with
the devices, This Orchestra Is I'm
fair to American Composers" and
America Has Good Composers,
Too" They make the front page
Of two leading newspapers and the
conductor is forced to capitulate.
The scandal that results when
Simon resents the unrehearsed play
ing of his poem spells the end Of
his hopes, but the publicity given
the whole affair has brought his
name before the public, and the
reader is left with the conviction
that his career has been started.
The book deals with the COM
poser's struggle with poverty, the
handicap of crippled leg. his lone
illness and ambitions. His love affair
with Svea Sundstrom and his
friendship with Estaban Romero are
woven into his pursuit for recogni-
ton, the final disaster being soft
ened by his love for Mary Shaw.
The scene is laid in Los Angeles,
with many descriptions Of the city
almost of guide-book variety. The
traditionalism of the plot, however,
is in no way enlivened by Mr.. Kirk
brides treatment, which misses be-
ing Of absorbing interest.

mans, GTeenJ
This book is fundamentally IN
account of world wide Catholic mis-
sion activities. However, 1t will be
q great interest to far more readers
than those concerned with mis-
sions. for it paints vivid and most
timely picture Of the little people
of Asia and Africa. Father Con-
sidine has made his book series
OF quick-moving word portraits that
describe the political, social and
economic status Of many countries
that are scenes Of battles today.
Father Considine has written the
only volume In English which pre-
sents contemporary picture Of the
church's world mission effort. This
he has done with . minimum Of
doctrine and preaching. letting his
simple. day In and day out stories
OF the heroic missionaries b. their

The Harvey Girls
pn Cn11noT Hor1kir7e AdHn

For those who seek literary escape
from outside worries, The Harvey
Girls" is heartily recommended. Mr..
Adams is an experienced weaver
of tales, and here, with a little re-
search into the beginnings of the
Fred Harvey Restaurant system of
the early Santa Fe Railroad days,
he has provided novel that is
really movie scenario with all
the trimmings. a
Taking Cricket, Deb and Hazel,
three typical Eastern girls who are
looking for varying returns, and
setting them down in little Sand
rock, a new addition to the ever
growing Harvey chain, the author,
in quickly paced style, traces
their careers and influence on the
opening Western territory. They're
all here-the gruff, heart-of-go
people; the misunderstood hero, the
willy william, double-dyed; the ro-
mantically mysterious Enghshman
with a title in the background, the
dashing, hard-shootin' gambler and
the out-of-luck prospector. They
figure in various shootings, cattle
stampedes, mine wrecks and brushes
with the "other girls" those that
sang and danced on the wrong side
of the Santa Fe tracks. Those girls,
too, it developed, welded q certain
influence of their own.
Yes, it's a Western, but West
ern with a difference. As an insight
into q uttle-known bit of Ameri-
cana, it entertainingly serves its
purpose. Those who wish to dis
cover the stun of which movies are
made will find a good beginning
here. j. VIM. RUPPEL, sJr.

By Gertrude Atherton. "A

By Gertrude Atherton. (Ap-
pleton-CenturyJ
Back from France with decora-
tions for her heroism in World War
I, Lynn Randolph faces compare
tive poverty, f1apper sister and an
invalid mother who has taken to
drink. Her home is San Francisco
of the early 20s, when that city
was beginning to worry about the
competition of its up-and-coming
neighbor, Los Angeles.
Lynn, a beautiful but cold young
woman. becomes school teacher,
and later, because she is bursting
to do something no woman has ever
done, she opens a restaurant. There,
in tastefully furnished back room,
she tries to awaken her businessman
patrons to the need of doing some
thing about San Francisco.
Meanwhile, there are three men
in her life, none of whom she cares
much about One is young busi-
nessman who bores her, the second
is q British lord whom she might
have loved once, and the third is
multi millionaire diamond In the
rough. At the end, since she has
failed to do anything about San
Francisco, she decides on one of the
three men. She will have a salon,
be patroness of the arts. How
that plan turns out is left to the
readers imagination.
The author is always sympathetic
with Lynn, who appears to be a
fairly -blooded character. II
Lynn is an enigma to the three men
in her life, as the frontispiece ad-
vises, she is even more of an enigma
to her readers. This is not one OF
Mrs. Atherton's more distinguished
efforts. MIRIAM GUTENBERG.
