Canning and preserving OF foods
Is an important factor in house,
hold management at any time, but
now our country Is making an ALL
out effort for Victory the conserva-
ton OF food supplies is imperative.
There Is an abundance of scientific
information on preservation of foods,
whether by canning. preserving,
storing, drying or brining. The
Public Library, Eighth and X streets
NV, and its branches offer re-
liable assistance through books,
pamphlets and periodicals.
Ola Powell Malcolm's Successful
Canning and Preserving" is an old

its subject. M. G. Kains' Modern
Book OF Home Canning" is a less

OF advice based on experience.
Particularly timely is Marion
Whites recent book, Sweets With

than 200 recipes using sugar substi-
tutes in baking cakes, pies and in
preserving. William E. Elwell's
"Pectin; its Manufacture, Properties
and Uses" should prove helpful to
the housewife. especially in jelly
making. A book that is too little
known in this period of sugar scare

nutritrive and medicinal value OF
honey as a food. Since sugar is
scarce, this book should have par

Thunder Birds
By Orson Falk. Random
HOnsp J


There is fine novel to be written
about the young men OF the United
Nations who are learning to fly. in
America, but Orson Falk,s feather
weight piece isn't it. 1t comes, there
fore, as no surprise that the cover
announces that the story was in
production in Hollywood before the
ink was dry on the last page. The
pilots are just incidental to the love
story, which isn't exactly novel in
concept-the hard-bitten, pilot now
an instructor because he's too old
for dive bombing and the young
English lord who gets Ill in airplanes
but carries on to win his wings and
the girl.
AS sop to those who thought
the book might have something to
do with flying, Mr.. Falk makes much
OF young Peter Stackhouse's malady.
The old instructor finally solves 1t,
though, with brilliant idea that
any student pilot can figure out for
himself his first time at the controls.
Consider the airplane horse, coun-
sells the instructor. Treat the stick
as you would the reins. That is Mr..
Falk's contribution to flying lore.
1t is unfortunate that Mr.. Falk's
characters are out of class B movie,
for the young men who have come
here to fly are well worth writing
about. Had Mr.. Falk allowed him
self to be good reporter, he would
have discovered without too much
difficulty what makes these young
men the pride Of Britain. He would
have found modesty teamed with an
engaging cockiness, burning desire
to know all about flying, coupled
with an equally strong urge to put
that knowledge to practice as soon
as possible, preferably over Berlin.
Instead Of singing out the aristoc-
racy, he would have found grocery
clerks, bookkeepers. school teachers,
whole cross-section Of Britain's
best.
The movie, at least, will have air
planes and Miss Gene Tierney, look

The Long Ships Passing
Bu Walter Huuie

By Waiter HdUighurSt. Mac
nillanJ
A tremendous amount OF research
obviously has gone into the produc-
ton Of this volume and the result
is an excellent history OF the Great
Lakes-a pathway to empire too
long neglected by historians record
ing the westward tide OF American
migration.
Mr.. Havighurst traces the fasci-
mating development of this great
inland waterway from the first
canoe-borne journeys Of Jean Nico-
let In 1884 to the present iron and
grain trade carried in 'the long
ships" He tells of the vast move-
ment OF immigrants in the 18th CEN
tury, the development Of the mineral
resources Of the area, the disasters
OF storm, fire and Ice and the visions
come true Of far-sighted men who
saw 8 great future in the lakes
when they were carrying only the
furs from wild, unsettled hinter-
land.
Some Of the stories Of men, ships
and events are as gripping as fiction.
Some are not. for the impreseicu
fingers that Nj. Havighurst at tinnes
tries to write too much color into
happenings that radiate their own
light. GILBERT STEWART. u.

American Negroes: A
Handbook

~ E0'01n n. EmOree. (John
Day.
Mr.. Embree, president Of the
Julius Rosenwald Fund, has COM
piled this little book of statistics
on the Negro in America. It out
lines the development Of the race
in this country since the first slaves
landed at jamestown in 1919 and
gives facts concerning the Negro's
adjustment to his new environment,
his contributions to our civilization.
There are several we'll chosen quota
tions from the works of Negro poets.
The author is one of the out
standing authorities in his field
and his attitude is a reasonable one:
that the fullest expression of the
essential American democracy has
not yetabeen reached but that it is
essential, especially now, that both
colored and white citizens should
work harder than ever for fair
play and free opportunity for all our
citizens.

One Small Candle
By Cecil Roberts. Macmillan

By Cecil Roberts. Macmillan
The English popular novel is al
ways a source of establishment to
this reviewer. 1t does not seem pos
sible that school of writing which
exists solely for market demand
could take itself so seriously. Our
own enterpreneurs in the type write
with their tongues quite visibly in
their cheeks; they seem to rejoice
is being flagrantly false to life and
true to Hollywood. But their Eng
ish colleagues insist on writing their
trade pieces with all the solemnity
OF legitimate descendants of George
Eliot. Their heroes are always
heroic by self-sacrifice, their her
oines are always chaste and their
villains are not villains at all but
cads. Virtue triumphs against the
odds and love is It's reward. Such
books seem to be the last remain
ing trace OF 10Th century roman
ticism, its vigor and honesty gone
and only its sentimentalism re-
tanned.
Such q novel Is this, by Cecil
Roberts. which tells the story of
q young physicians unexpected sue
cess as a dramatist, the corrupting
influence Of gold, the false lure of
light love and the final acceptance
Of duty at the end, with true love
coming into its own after bitter
disappointment. The young man
moves about the modern world. He
goes to Hollywood and Florida and
then tours pre-war Europe, ending
his adventures in the shock of Ger
many's attack on Poland. The set
ting notwithstanding, he might
have been doing the Grand Tour. He

ever was one. Mr.. Roberts himself.
