The Story of PenieiIIin
By Boris Sokolof, M. D. u

By Boris Sokolof, M. D. (Zi6
Dauis, $780,
1t seems there was a mold-a
mold of no particular distinction
much the sort of mold indeed as
gets into the cheese-disfguring a
laboratory slide on which culture
of Staphylococcus was carefully
being nurtured for experimental
purposes. Staphylococcus is the
germ which gives you blood poison
ing. And the mold killed off the
Staphylococcus with the greatest OF
ease. The mold was penicillin
Since then, the laboratory mer
have learned that it kills off with
quite AS much ease the germs OF
menengitis, childbirth fever, pneu-
monia, venereal disease, certain
kinds of heart disease and many
types of local infection. They have
also learned that it does all this
without doing anything to the pa
tient. 1t kills the germs which are
making you sick but leaves you

there is absolutely no fear of an
overdose.
That is the story which Boris
Sokoloff tells here. They first found
the mold in the Pasteur Institute
of Brussels-by accident. That was
in the 192Os BY 1928 DR.. Alexander
Fleming of the University of London
had produced the drug but, with its
curious conserva tism, the medical
profession for II years refused his
offers to try it on patients. In 1910
it had its first test. Then the need
of a germ killer for the armed forces
brought sudden interest to bear on
it. The English laboratories decided
that their methods could not meet
the great demand and so turned the
mold over to American companies
to give it mass production. Today
81 firms in our country are turning
out penicillin in greatly improved
and concentrated form. The story.
quietly told, is truly that of another
enormous step forward for the
whole human race.

A Woman in Sunshine
Ru Frnnk Spinnerton, I

Bu Frank S,Uinnerton. (Double-
day, Doran; S2.75.)
We have here one more of Frank
swinnerton's ingenious novels, a
neat tale which is not life, but is
lifelike, a Photographic improvement
on life much in the manner OF the
cinema.
It is the story of a short period in
the history of charming English
lady aged 50, the period in question
being beset by crises. One OF the
lady's sons seems likely to see his
marriage wrecked, another son being
the potential wrecker. The lady's
husband is troubled about his career
as a lawyer. A woman who has been
the lady's lifelong friend fears that
the lady is having an affair with
her husband. And ne'er-do-well
brother of the lady, long vanished
from family scenes, turns up with
sinister plots which end in the lady's
older sister being accused of muir
der. In all the pother, the lady Is
incorruptibly well-behaved. AS she
has not been responsible for the
initiation of any of the tangles, she
is not responsible for their solutions,
which come about mainly by chance,
but she stands by in all the dark
moments, valiantly radiating good.
Everything comes out nicely. 1t is
q thoroughly characteristic Swimmer
ton performance.

lished. Her surviving relatives, a
brother, William Austin Dickinson,
and sister, Lavinla. were un-
fitted to undertake the task of
editing. But Lavinia was deter
mined that Emily's work should be
known. After she had tried un-
availingly for several years to per-
suade her brothers wife to pre-
pare the poems for publication,
she turned for help to young
friend and neighbor. Mabel Loomis
Todd, wife of the distinguished as
tronomer, David Peck Todd. who
was then teaching in Amherst Col
lege. Mrs. Todd assumed the task,
helped by Thomas Wentworth Hig-
ginsOn. So chaotic was the state
of the manuscripts that nearly a
year of editorial labor had to be
spent before the first volume of
ll6 poems appeared in 1890. Recog-
milton of the poets genius was i'm
mediate, and another volume fol-
lowed in 1891. also edited by Mrs.
Todd, with Col. Higginsons advice,
Then. unassisted, Mrs. Todd edited
two volumes of Emily's letters in
which more than a hundred addi-
tional poems were included, and a
third volume of verse, The last
mentioned work appeared in 1896
and at that date publication alb
ruptly ceased.
Nearly a thousand poems re-
manned in manuscript. Mrs. Todd
had given years to her study of the
poet She was the ideally qualified
editor. But for over 80 years she
did no more work on the poetry of
Emily Dickinson. The answer to the
obvious question-why? is to be
found in the curious diversions of

occupies him not at all He follows
of its measures and it's mass repre-
sentation. His book begins with the
summoning of the Estates General
in 1889 and ends with the death of
Robespierre. In that period, in his
view, in the work of the three as
semblies-the constituent. the legis-
lative and the convention-the es-
sentlal revolutionary movement took
place.
He traces the movement in terms
of the work of those three bodies.
In most instances, he rests on analy-
ses of figures, striving to bring the
method of the modern statistician
to bear on the remaining records.
Writing of men, he strips away the
romantic hero properties and sub
stitutes normal political motivation
What results is vast body of fact
held together by nothing more dra-
matte than the recognized modern
truth about revolutions generally
that society cannot be remade by
decree, that ideals violently installed
at the top of a governmental struc-
ture become force and corruption as
they work downward. that, once the
process is set in motion, propaganda,
censorship, espionage, regimenta-
ton and purges inevitably follow
Mr.. Thompson never states it OPEN
lV. but constantly throughout his
book he reminds his readers of the
parallel between the French and
modern revolutionary movements.
His conclusion is that the lasting
achievement of the French move
ment was the abolition of feudalism
and the establishment of small land
owners as a self sustaining class,
Those reforms at least outlasted the
