of war materials. That means a Ia
Dor increase of 100000 persons
from 1912 to 1914. An excellent sta
tistical study is "Manpower for
Victory" by c. P. Dunbar and J.
w. Taylor.
Of the 100000 women listed as
housewives, some 100000 are of
working age without children under
16 and some 100000 with one or
more children under 16. The posi-
bility of drawing on this supply
is the subject of two studies, one
issued by the industrial relations
section of the Princeton University,
Women in War Industries" and
the other, Women in War Effort"

Fiddier's Folly and Encores
By Robert Haven Schaufer

By Robert HdUen Schdud1er.
(HOlt.)
You will like this book better,
perhaps, if you have at one time or
another owned a flddle-any kind
Of a fiddle. Mr.. Schautfler's par
ticular species is cello. The first
sketch in this short volume is the
story Of how he came to acquire his
instrument, which he affectionately
calls Gasp"
Mr.. Schauffler is an amateur mu-
sician, but one who is obviously no
SLOUGH, judging by the company he
keeps. Sometimes his stories are a
little thin. At other times they
drip with humor that has been ap-
piled beyond the saturation point
and is, therefore, little sticky.
Generally, though, they represent
the light, whimsical sort Of thing
that has come to be- known as
"escapism." They give an assurance
that people who play in string quar-
tets are not as stuffy and totally
devoid of personality as they some
times appear at afternoon muSicales.
If you have ever plucked a string
or drawn a bow over catgut, this
156-page book about fiddles and
fiddlers ought to give you happy
hour. NORMAN KAHL.

The Whole Heart
By Helen Ho,Oe. fSimon
ShuSter.)

by HctSH <1OWS. tDENLOU 0
ShuSter.)
In her first novel, Helen Howe
uses the device of letters and a
diary to tell the story of four wom-
en- who all loved one man, rarely
wisely, always too well. Before the
quartet of tales is completed, one is
more inclined to feel sorry for the
man than for his four women.
The first of the four is Mary, a
remote cousin of Jim Hurd. Her IT
love you's" fill quite a number of
pages before Jim is taken over by
Barbara, rich daughter of a pulp
magazine publisher. Barbara's di-
airy carries the story over the IT
years of their married life, climax
ing in the death OF her lover and a
siege in mental sanitorium. Just
AS Barbara is healed into deciding
it is her husband she really loves,
Jim becomes attached to Constance,
whom he meets in London. Con-
stances letters begin as she and Jim
wait for Barbara to get divorce.
The letters end with Constance's
suicide when Jim marries "Briggsy,"
an ex-hockey player from Bryn
Mawr, full of bounce and Philadel-
phia mainline traditions. Briggsy
finishes the book with her thank
you" notes to friends who sent we'd
ding gifts. AS it ends, she is be-
ginning to become a little beWil-
dered by her husband.
Jim is an author who turns COM
mentator. He Is a New Highlander,
complete with conscience, and it is
his conscience that turns him
against poor, long suffering Con-
stance. Miss Howe caricatures the
four women, but that is probably
unintentional, since, at heart, she
really blames everything on Jim and
painstakingly explains that he's a
sentimentalist while the women are
realists. That's why he makes such
mess of things.
The letter-diary device sometimes
stumbles under its own weight, but
the author does succeed in making
her women come to life, even if
they are exaggerated. AS for jim,
he sometimes gets lost-just as will,
probably, the male readers Of this
! book. MIRIAM GUTENBERG.

The Manpower Problem
BY Ruth Mccoy,
Readers Adviser, Public Library.

The supply and proper ALLEGATION
OF manpoWer continues to be a per-
picking problem on the home front.
A lesson of Word War I was that
nification of the supply of men for
military service and the supply of
both men and women for war pro-
duction was essential.
The impact of the war on our ma
tional economy, with attention to
the vital problem of labor supply, has
been the concern of both theoretical
and practical economists. 'Mobi-
LIKING Civilian America" by H. j.
Tobin and P. Bidwell, is the result
OF a two-year study, and it deals
with the techniques of industrial
and civilian mobilization, tracing
their development from 1914 to 1899.
The Importance of this problem is
emphasized in Economic Factors
Affecting Industrial Relations Pol
icy in National Defense" by H. S.
Slchter, Economics of American
Industry" by E. B. Alderfer; THE
Economies Of War" by H. Member

l.. M. Cherne stated in 1910, in
"M-Day and What 1t Means to You"
that Shortage OF skilled labor was
the one serious bottleneck for in
dustry for which no important steps
were being taken.
Comprehensive Survey.
1t Is interesting to note what is
being done in other countries. The
international Labor Office has pub
ished comprehensive survey in
its Labor Supply and National
Defense" E. H. Biddle has some
important observations in THE Mo-
bilization of the Home Front: The
British Experience and It's Sig
nif1cance for the United States"
H. w. Metz of the Brookings In
stitution, in his pamphlet, "Is There
Enough Manpower?" estimates that
by the end of 1943 9,50O,000 men will
be in the armed forces, yet the

In the light of the Supreme
