Star Of the Wilderness
By Kdrle Wilson Baker. (CO1D
nrd-McCnnn


ard-McCann.)
From Cincinnati a rolling-stone
adventurer took his wife and chill
dren to the wild, unpredictable will
derness that was Texas before TIE
revolt, and although he did not love
her as she deserved, he loved Eer
to the limits of his fckle nature.
His affairs took him away fire.
quently, and kept him away for long
periods, during which ner faith was
tried to the utmost and her fortunes
sagged to the point Of desperation.
All this was in the days when the
North Mexican States were writhing
under the heel of the Centralists,
and Texans with avowed allegiance
to Mexico and those with no alleg-
lance whatever were at odds with
Americans who moved into the coun-
try in defiance of restrictions. The
whole lot of them had only vague
idea of what they wanted politically
for themselves.
The story is we'll told-a story
about a pioneer woman and her
woman friends. for the most Part,
and, incidentally. about The men
folk. When the bullets start zap
ping and the lancers begin to spit
Texans riding away on horseback,
the drama is tense. That is late in
the novel, and the charm CT the
story is in the revelations of how
people lived in the settled" Places
beyond the Sabine
One does not read vivid accounts
of the fall of the Alamo, nor di-
rectly of the capture of Santa Anna,
but these historical events become
very real part Of the novel just
the same There is a wealth Of his
torical incidents and personalities.
The initial skirmishes are depicted
in detail Houston, Grant, Austin
and many another figure pace the
stage in convincing fashion. Why
Houston distrusted Grant cousin
OF the heroines husband while
Austin favored him remains mys-
terry to the end of the book. At any
rate, an attempt IS made to reveal
the substance of the dream "the Be-
loved Scot" pursued. The school,
books paint Jamie in dull colors, but
here he is made understandable, al
though the dream fades as soon as
he and Jessie McAlpine's gambler
husband are killed.

Practical suggestions for conserv-
ing food and maintaining health are
made in pamphlets of the Govern
ment, the American Red Cross and
various commercial organiza tions.
Better Buymanship" and other
pamphlet series will aid the con-
sumner in making purchases.
Recent years have seen an in
crease in non-fiction reprints in this
country. When a book has proved
its popularity, publishers often bring
out reprint at much lower cost
within a few months; hence, late
best sellers may be available in 81
editions issued by various publish
ers. Under these conditions re-
placements of volumes carried off by
visitors or chewed up by an ener-
getic pup are not such serious losses.
Omnibus books containing several
volumes in one are economical pur-
chases. Though there may be fewer
new titles to choose from as the war
progresses, one may be able to re-
discover pleasure in worthwhile
books of past years. In fact, it is
possible to build. at small cost, a
collection of the worlds MASTER
pieces.
All make suitable knapsack gifts
for the men in khaki, handy vol
umes for the commuter or the
convalescent, and fit easily into the
weekend bag. inexpensive books
for these and other purposes may
be examined at your neghborhood
library or bookstore and/additional
lists obtained from the publishers.

Books on Your Budget
By Ruth HubbeH,s
Adviser in Literature and the Public Library.

In these days of economic strain
and stress one cannot afford to
drop books from the budget. He
may have to depend more and more
upon libraries to supply increasing
needs for information and morale
building, but there still will be few
books he will want to buy for the
home, for friends or for men in
the service. The Public Library,
Eighth and K streets NV, and its
branches offer copies Of standard
and current titles in inexpensive
bindings which may be borrowed
for reading or examined with an eye
to purchase.
The public spirited citizen will
want brief books, up-to- minute,
easily handled and inexpensive
Many of these may be obtained for
81 or less in pamphlet or book form.
The reprinted radio broadcasts of
such agencies as the University of
Chicago Round Table, together with
books and pamphlets of the Gov
ernment. the National Home Library
Foundation and the American Asso-
citation for Adult Education, are sug-
gestive for private reading or group
discussion. Such non-partisan pub
lications as public affairs pamphlets,
headline books. foreign policy re-
ports and editorial research reports
are stimulating and informative.
Supplementary background material
is available in such pamphlets as
those of the American Union
on the countries and products of
Latin America.

If Men Were Angels
By Jerome Frank (Hdrr

Bv Jerome Frank (Hdrper).
Mr.. Justice Frank, a member Of
the Second United States Circuit
Court OF Appeals who formerly was
chairman of the Securities Ex-
change Commission, borrows a
phrase from the Federalist-"If men
were angels no government would
be necessary"-for his title, and
goes to the defense of the admin
istrative agencies of the Govern
ment which have had their share
of criticism in recent years.
The writer is concerned princi-
pally with the complaint that the
power welded by these groups is
productive OF too much personal
government and, in effect, usurps
the place of traditional court and
jury procedure. To this he answers
that an administrative body often
can render a more just decision
than court because 1t has better
facilities for developing the facts
on which to act.
Justice Frank directs much of his
argument to Dean Roscoe Pound,
who has written sharply of the ad-
ministrative establishments. Many,
however, will dispute his contention
that some of Dean Pounds COM
ments, which he says are not based
on fact, are typical of the criti-
cism leveled at the administrative
groups. One answer to that lies
in the tumultuous history of the
National Labor Relations Board,
none of whose original members
were reappOinted. J. A. FOX.

A@Mon About the House
By Francis Brett Young.
(Reundl & HitchcOck.)

The prolific Mr.. Young this time
turns to early Goth century Italy
for a neat little tale of intrigue and
adventure. 1t is pure escapism, as
nice q piece of escapism as you'll
come across this summer.
Agnes and Ellen 1sit, Spinsters,
are left practically penniless after
the death of their father, a retired
Indian Army colonel AS long as
he lived the old family mansion,
the Cedars, was maintained in au-
thentic, If slightly barren, magnifi-
cence. When he dies it appears that
the two elderly girls" have nothing
better to face than the painful and
familiar story Of decaying gentility.
Just as they are making complete
fiasco of school called the Cedars
Preparatory Academy the unex-
pected-even the undreamed Of
happens. An uncle dies intestate in
Italy, leaving them sizable in
come and a villa. They leave Eng
land and the old life. To the de-
testable Agnes love comes in the
person Of Salvatore, the young
and charming butler at the villa.
They marry. His attempt to poison
his bride and what Ellen does about
1t furnish the main plot OF a story.
The author is a deft mixer of
satire, romance and characteriza-
ton. He thinks nothing quite so
humorous as Victorian England,
and he takes sly pokes at his too,
too British countrymen living in
foreign lands. There are many
neatly sketched characters. The
remarkable Salvatore is a rascal out
of the top drawer, while Miss Agnes
and Miss Ellen are pitiable, indeed,
as two maiden ladies suddenly
transported from genteel poverty in
England to the heady atmosphere
of Montfalcone. Mr.. Young is keen
in his likes and dislikes. When he
dips his pen in vitriol he doesn't
even spare the Victorian dog. Stew
art, Miss Agnes pet, must be at
least one Of the nastiest animals in
literature. J. VIM. RUPPEL, Jr.
