contrasted with the highest prewar
earnings in 1889 of $75,672.
After deducting taxes paid by the
individual partners, this firm had
an aggregate net earnings of $685.
All in 1912, or more than eight
times 1t highest earnings in any pre-
war year. The total investment of
the partners was S125,OOO and the
net worth of the company at the

sons and a nephew, all under 80,

 Knowledge of life as it is lived nowadays came hard to MT. Croy, and he tells about the process with complete frankness. He was shy, and he forced himself out of his shyness. He was a very bad business man, and he still is, in a way. AS an expatriate, he succeeded in producing only one good Paris novel and spending all his money. All his life he has kept his farm perspective, and for that matter, his fathers farm, the last with some diffi- culty. The feel of the farm is all through the book, but so is the feeling of the writer for his craft. The unpredictable course of events is symbolized for the read CT by the drainage ditch dug, years ago, by Croy, Senior, and Croy, Junior. It is now a great, raw gully.

"A Tree

1ACE FOUR
By JOHN SELBY AP Arts Editor

JEW YORK-Betty Smiths novel which is called "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, sets up an image in the readers mind. The real Betty Smith tears it down, and substitutes another.
 For instance, you come out of the book with the feeling that the author is very young, quite shy little person.
 But when l tracked her down the other day she had a small, very smart suite in one of the largest, very smart hotels at the southeast corner of Central Park.
 Nor is she shy. She had, in fact. just married young soldier named Joe Jones, and was already tired to death of comments on her being Mrs. Smith-Jones.
 Nor is she girl.
 'You know" she said, T don't know whether it was fair 10 Joe to make him a potential grand father at his age.'
 For Betty Smith has two chil- dren, both in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

LITERARY CUIDEPOST
Country Cured" by Homer Croy
 (Harper'S: S3).
By JOHN SELBY

Homer Croy's Country Cur ed' is carelessly written and re- petitive and yet it certainly is the finest autobiography I have read in year. It needs a little explaining, and this is difficult. MT. Croy has even omitted a great deal that he should have included, yet the book is a per- feet picture of the author, and no reader could doubt it.
 The author of "West of the Water Tower" was born of "Ohio people" in Northwest Missouri. near Marysville. Is father was a farmer, and a good one. Homer was farm boy in the days when a rain isolated the family for days, and sometimes in winter it was impossible to get to town for weeks. Those were the days when farmers harness was in- variably handmade, and a milk ing machine would have been considered a dangerous contrap- tion, most likely.
 The boy grew up with all the urges of youngsters today, but with the feel that as a farm boy he was a little inferior to city boys, meaning the youngsters who had the advantage of life in Maryville. But he went to school htere, riding a horse in from the country when the weather was possible. And then he went to the University of Missouri; his entire experiences of the world before this time was visit to Omaha and another stay, some what longer, in St. Joseph, Mo. Eventually he went to New York,
