The Beasts of the Earth
BIZ C. M. Kdrst. (Unger.

The author of this short book, who
writes under a pseudonym for OBJ
vious reasons, records the fate of
one Austrian who believed in a free
Austria at the time of Hitler's tri-
umphal entry into Vienna. 1t is
not only a story of his experiences,
but one that has happened to thou
sands and is still happening to more
thousands throughout the prison
camps in Germany. 1t is story
that will forcefully open the eyes OF
the most skeptical person to the
brutality that challenges the world
today.
From the moment when the
author is rudely awakened and taken
by the S. S. to a prison in Vienna
until the time of his release from
Dachau, the reader is faced with an
overwhelming series of Nazi deprav-
tiles. Beaten until they give the an
swers desired, no matter if the an
swers are true or not, the prisoners
in the group with the author are
herded like cattle into freight and
passenger cars for a miserable trip
to Dachau.
At Dachau, a camp of almost
20 900 prisoners, the daily routine. as
Mr.. Karst describes it, is one of con-
stant torture by bestial guards, who
must enforce perpetual torment or
themselves suffer the terrible pun
ishments of Himmlers agents, Death
at the hands Of depraved S. S. men
occurs daily, and the prisoners be-
come mere fatalistic puppets on the
Nazi string of barbarity But, some
how the author survived the ordeal
and escaped to America.

the first explorers came to Vir-
ginia. Numerous human interest
stories of such i1ustrious Virginians
as Pocohontas, Patrick Henry,
Thomas Jefferson, George Wash
ington and Edgar Allan Poe are en-
tertainingly related.
Pilgrimages to many old gardens
afford real pleasure. To aid In
planning for such trips, the Garden
Club of Virginia and the Federated
Garden Clubs of Maryland have
each published books with descrip-
tive text and illustrations, virginia

land Gardens and Houses" In
Homes of the Cavaliers" by
Katherine Scarborough, and "Vir-
ginia Ghosts" by Mrs. Marguerite
du Pont Lee, many fascinating
stories of the owners Of these gar
dens are to be found.
There are number OF books on
the cities and towns of the Tide
water which may be visited during
cherished week ends. William O..
Stevens Annapolis, Anne Arun-
dels Town." Hamilton Owens Bal
timore on the Chesapeake" and
Hildegarde Hawthorne's "Old Will
liamsburg and Her Neighbors" are
recommended.
Not all Maryland and Virginia is
Tidewater. Close to Washington to
the west are mountainous areas OF
unusual beauty. Agnes Rothery, IN
New Roads in Ole Virginia" de-
scribes Skyline Drive, which fol-
lows the crest of the mountains over
200 miles, the Shenandoah Valley,
the country around Charlottesville
and other places which should not
be missed. Again, William o. Stew
ems stimulates the prospective
Its Byways."
Strange as it may seem, there are
few books available on Western
Maryland. Exciting events in
United States history are connect
ed with the Old National Turnpike,
which, before the Revolution, con-
nected Baltimore with Frederick,
Cumberland, Wheeling and the
great unknown west. 1t was over
this road that Gen. Braddock and
his English Regulars marched. Only
five miles from Frederick the crest
of the first mountain range is
reached, and from there to Cum
berland successive ranges are
crossed. Oliver Martin, in "Chesa-
peake and Potomac Country" ad-
vises the weekend visitor on what
he will enjoy seeing, whether the
reconstructed home of Barbara
Fritchie in Frederick, the first
monument to George Washington
near Boonsboro, the battlefield of
Antietam or the orchards near Cum
berland.
These and many other books, to-
gether with large supply of
pamphlets and maps, are available
at the Public Library, Eighth and
K streets NV, and its neighbor-
hood branches.

Enjoyment of Science
By Jonathan Morton, Leonard.
Doubleday, Dordn & Co., Inc.

6y JOHULHUH NOTION LcOHuTu.
Doubleday, Doran & Co., Inc.
Mr.. Leonard has found, appar-
emily to his own surprise, that some
branches of science are not purely
utilitarian and dull-that there is
high adventure in biology, poetry
and music in astronomy, the thrills
of detective fiction in chemistry
and even in taxonomy.
He assumes that few laymen COM
prehend the beauty and the alb
sorbing interest to be found in we'll
written scientific works. This work
is an effort to open the doors. 1t
consists Of a series of brief chap
tiers covering the major sciences
why astronomy. for example, is in
teresting; few paragraphs on
some of the most striking facts, and
photographers of books which Mr.
Leonard himself has found enter
tanning reading.
The outstanding fault of the book
is the attitude 1t expresses. Doubt
less it would be we'll for many
thousands of readers to enter the
places of science, but it has been
the experience of newspaper SCI
ence writer that there are few
things in this world more detested
by the average adult than being led
by the hand.

By Helen T. Sfeinbarper,

BY Helen L. Sfeinbarger,
consultant in Adult Education. Public
Library.
Not long ago, the travel editor of
The Star, in discussing the budget
your mileage" project sponsored by
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, suggested that a weekly saving
of rs miles would enable a family
to make half dozen holiday jaunts
to seashore resorts in Maryland,
Virginia or New Jersey"
This suggestion is valuable to
WashingtonianS whose leisure time
is being curtailed by the war pro-
gram, and whose prospects for an
extended vacation are problematical.
But why limit such jaunts to the
seaside? Within a comparatively
short distance of the city, on the
rivers, in the mountains and easy
of access by excellent roads, are to
be found innumerable places of his
toric interest or of scenic beauty.
If preliminary plans are carefully
made, additional mileage can be
saved. The use of certain books
will be helpful. Begin to plan by
using two of the w. P. A. writer's
project series. Maryland; A Guide
to the Old Line State" and "Vir-
ginia; A Guide to the Old Domin-
ion." Each of these contains a
large State map with roads well de-
fined and points of interest circled
in red with a key to location.
Another valuable feature of the
Maryland map is the outline of sug-
gested tours. Fuller outlines of
trips, a number of which start in
Washington, are to be found in both
guides. This information is again
amplified in chapters which are
really essays on such topics as
Natural Setting" agriculture"
Industry, Commerce and Labor"
Architecture" and "Cities." The
calendar of annual events tells what
is going on, when and where, and
the fine photographs give an idea
Of what to look for.
The Tidewater sections of Mary
land and Virginia, with their in
Vulnerable rivers and creeks, abound
in places significant in the develop
ment of the United States. Paul
Wilstach, in three books, Potomac
Landings" Tdewater Virginia" and
"Tidewater Maryland" introduces
the river plantations and the small
settlements. as well as the owners
and traders of the earlier days Ex-
cerpts from many old letters and
diaries contribute to the knowledge
of how life was lived in Colonial
agrarian society.
Swepson Earle, in THE Chesa-
peake Bay Country" offers an un-
usual fund of information about
the romantic and historic implica-
tions OF the plantations and farm
steads on both sides of this great
bay. In recent book, The James,"
Mrs. Blair Niles recalls the signi-
flcance Of this river from the time

Take Her Down
BIZ COmdr. T. B. Thompson, u.
S. NJ (Shertdd11 House,
Though concerned with the last
war, Take Her Down" is as timely
and informative a book as can be
found on the subject Of submarines
and undersea warfare, both vitally
interesting in the light of what is
going on along our East Coast.
Few of the authors statements are
dated, for modern submarines are
enlarged and perfected and not
basically different from models OF
Is years ago.
Heroine of "Take Her Down" Is
the 150-foot sub L-9. Comdr.
Thompson was her executive officer
through most of the war, and be-
came her captain shortly before the
Armistice. He writes amusingly OF
the everyday experiences OF officers
and crew. of the wild adventures
crossing the Atlantic in the worst
hurricane in years, and Of the tense
weeks of patrol in the North Sea
campaign. But, between the times,
life gets pretty boring, Comdr.
Thompson admits, and men on board
are constantly seeking something
amusing to break the tedium-even
temperamental Diesel engines are
blessed rather than cursed for their
eccentricities.
The L-9 rarely came into actual
combat, but her. commander de-
scribes the encounters of U-boats
with sister ships of the L-9, to make
his story complete for all hands.
Because Of this completeness, Take
Her Down" is q book to read now,
for q thorough understanding of
submarine warfare and what is
being done to combat the ndersea
menace to ships Of the United
Nations and to our shores.
