OfuPoetess
THREE PARTS SCOTCH
By Guthrie Burton.
Morrill,. So 50

By Guthrie Burton. (BoboS
Merrill; $780,
The author of this informal au-
TOPOGRAPHY is a poet OF dlstlnc-
ton, a well-knoWn lecturer and a
teacher. Her personal achieve
ments, however, make a very small
part Of her self history. She has
written, rather, her remembered
impressions Of places and people;
her opinions on such ever-present
issues as literature and manners;
her choice of strange or humorous
incidents to which she has borne
witness. BY the matter OF her work
she is a civilized and sophisticated
citizen. Her manner, however, sui
fers from what is probably a lee
turer's acquired characterlstic-she
does labor to be amusing.
She was born in 1882 in small
town in Pennsylvania. She gives
us an excellent memoir on small
town life in the period Of her youth,
when the American village had not
vet become stereotyped, when phys
ical comfort had not been graded
up to its present high level or cul-
tural standards down to their present
nadir. In 1901 she married a law
yer, John Harding, and went to
Paterson, N. j., to live. In the years
that followed she lectured and es-
tablished her reputation as a poet.
1t was the heyday of women's clubs
and lecturing, of course, and she
sets down some amusing incidents
accordingly. Mr. Harding died IN
1926 and in 1881 she married Prof.
Richard Burton He shortly after
ward took the chair of English lit
erature at Rollins College in VIM
ter Park, Fla. Her life in the
academic world moves her to pro-
duce an excellent disquisition on
recent fashions in liberalism. Her
own work as poet Is reflected IN
finely discriminating chapter on the
post Whitman dissonanters.
Vignettes of personalities make
up a large proportion of the volume
These are catholic They may be
of such famous beings as Ambrose
Bierce, who gave Mrs. Burton her
first criticism as poet; William
Gillette, William Lyon Phelps or
Sinclair Lewis. Or they may be OF
servants, eccentric relatives, small
town characters or even animal
pets. Similarly, under the great
head of what 1 have called man
ners," she discusses such a wide
range of topics as is indicated by
these few samples-the sending OF
holiday greeting cards, the habit OF
condemning house guests to break
fast in bed, the telephone, the tell
all school of literature.
1t all sums up to the whimsical
record of an acute mind, marred
only by the one fault named above
Mrs. Burton, with no doubt some
reason, has less faith in her read
ers' intelligence than in her own
She is firmly determined they shall
get their laughs, even when no
laugh is necessarily indicated.

Somerset Vaughan has recently
declared the prime function of a
novel is to please. c. S. Lewis has
not only written bangup story
to delight the senses, but to in
struct the heart as well. Mr.. Lewis
calls his book a modern fairy tale
for grownups. He has so marvel
ously interviewer the ordinary and
the fantastic, the supernatural and
the scientific, that the reader can
not tell where one begins and an
other leaves off. The net result is
willing suspension of belief" so
complete one must make almost a
physical effort to readjust to the
real world.
The title derives from a descrip-
ton of the Tower of Babel and
the book presents another attempt
to create in the name of objective
science something whose top may
reach unto heaven" though it
might mean the utter destruction
of all human values. The instru-
ment of evil is an organization
calling itself the National Institute
of Co ordinated Experiments
CNICE). Under cover of praise
worthy, progressive purpose the
NICE, directed by the dismembered
head of a criminal scientist, in
dulges in activities so blood-curdling
that Fascist brutality and oppres-
sion pale by comparison.
The powers of darkness were un-
derstandably eager to get into their
clutches one Jane Tudor Studdock
who was the unwilling spy of the
NICE'S Vaccinations through tele-
vision dreams. Luckily Jane was
attracted to the powers Of light and
helped by the magician, Merlin
(whose life had been merely side
tracked, moved out of our one
dimensional time, for Is centuries'o
sees that the good triumphs and
the hideous strength is defeated in
an almost apocalyptic scene.
Mr.. Lewis is a rare bird--he com.
bines excellent craftsmanship, ar
tistry and moral purpose. Here,
as in his recent book, '"The Great
Divorce" he pleads for the separa-
ton Of good from evil. He'll ex-
cludes heaven, heaven excludes hell.
Mr.. Lewis earnestness of purpose
plus his extraordinary power to i'm
part verisimilitude, make THAT
Hideous Strength" book you will
not be able to put down

H. Allen Smith Bores Hidden Talent
As Sutirist in His First Novel

radio stations and advertising agen-
cies see Rhubarb's publicity value
and seek to exploit him, columnists
and reporters turn the famous cat
into copy and animal lovers contrib
ute their eccentric bit. 1t makes a
melange of nonsense which Mr.
Smith uses for the purpose of satir-
izing the sports and Broadway
worlds. He does this resoundingly.
Without losing his character as hu-
morist, he deals heavy blows to the
whole range of types which are now
associated with New York's Great
White Slum.
For the reader, a curious impress
sion results. Behind the routine
slapStick, he will feel genuinely
discriminating mind and may we'll
reach the conclusion that, if Mr..
Smith will tear himself loose from
conventional props, he may become
a real interpreter, on the destruc-
tive side, of the vulgarity and igno-
rance which make up SO large a
part of our popular ideals. For the
present, one can say that "Rhu-
barb is a successfully funny book,
marred by obvious commercialism
of the stock variety.

The Doffy Doings
OfoDizzy Doq
THE PSYCHOPATHIC DOG
By John Philip Sousa III.
doubleday & Co., Inc; s2.)
Reviewed by
MARTHA LEWIS,

MARTHA LEWIS.
Mr.. Sousa recorded the dafy do
lngs OF his helter-sk family in
an earlier book, MY Family Right
or Wrong" Here again we find
them up to their usual antics. This
time, however, they are given stiff
competition by dog of indiscrim-
mate origin named Chooie.
Choole, who was picked up for a
couple of dollars by Mrs. Sousa and
daughter Nancy on one of their
frequent gambling trips across the
border from California, was noted
for many things.
One of her favorite diversions
was sliding down the play slide at
the children's park. She was also
adept at breaking up church
bazaars, helping herself to pretzels
at bar and turning up unexpect-
edly at church or local saloon, de-
pending on which place the family
happened to be hanging out at the
time.
The story also has love interest,
for Chooie falls hard for the leader
Of the towns dog set, rake named
Bingo, who was usually accom-
panied on his visits to the Sousa
home by large and motley assort-
ment of other mongrels.
Neither this nor any of Choices
other entanglements and many
completes did much to upset the
already hectic household.
AS in Mr.. Sousa's previous book
We still find Mrs. Sousa issuing
orders from the top of the stairs in
a negligee, Nancy snoozing during
most of the "a hours of each day
and Mr.. Sousa glaring ferociously
at everybody, enjoying his frequent
tiffs with the villagers and messing
around with fishing equipment and
guns.
If you are an admirer of individ-
ualists and lover of dogs, you'll
find a good evenings entertainment
here.

The gentleman's sage observation
is even more applicable today with
the field beset by possibly the most
inconsistent price f1uctuation in its
history.
Authorities find it difficult to un-
derstand why rare books in the
approximate $5O-to-$5, 600 range are
now generally selling at prices rep
resenting as much as a SO per cent
rise, while choice items that had
prewar tags in the $4,000 class
are now going for as much as 80
per cent less.
The customary determination of
prices, based on just how many
rare books are on the market at
a specific time or on the number
of copies available of a single item,
does not seem to apply at present.
Good Investments
Frederick Golf, chief Of the
rare-book division of the Library
of Congress, has a good theory.
He explains that people buy the
average rare book because it Is a
good investment, and they can do
it today because they have some
extra money in the bank. This, he
says, is creating a demand which
Is being met by a corresponding
increase at auction or from the
seller.
That sounds reasonable as far as
the upped prices are concerned,
but what about the ones that are
going down? Again Mr.. Gof to
the rescue:
But people still do not have
enough money to buy the real high
priced items, SO such books are
accordingly dropping to price levels
dictated by the popular collectors
market" he explains.
A prominent West Coast rare
book dealer who has embodied the
findings of recent personal sur
vey in a paper called Trends in
Rare-Book Collecting" also ac-
knowledges that the important
items are going low and the minor
ones are going high.

RHUBARB

By H. Allen Smith. Double
day; S2J
With this book, H. Allen Smith
makes his bow as a novelist. 1t does
not seem to be an entirely sponta-
neous movement. One sees in it
certain suggestions of other novel
its whose character as humorist
rather outshines their pure fic-
tional virtuosity. Ring Lardner and
Damon Runyon are the most OBJ
viouS of these and, if I am not mis-
taken, the mantle of the earlier
Smith-Thorne-has also swept del
icately across the present ones vi
sion. But this is not to say that the
present one has not done a book
that stands up of its own accord.
His characters and situations seem
to echo somewhat, but his ham
ding is his own.
The story is fantasy. A rich
dies and leaves his
entire estate, including a baseball
club, to his cat, Rhubarb. The play

PLEASE, NO PAREGORIC.
By Ethel Hueston. fBobbs-
Merrill, s2.50)
Here are two novels about the re-
turned veteran.
In the first the famous problem"
Is presented in a sort of fantasy. A
pair of soldiers who did their service
in New Guinea decide that they
want to make animal crackers for
the rest of their lives; they were
lost for weeks in the jungles and, in
their starvation, they worked out a
feverish scheme about ''global con-
cept" Of animals. Back home they
infuriate friends and relatives by
spending their time on the queer
notion instead of getting seriously
back to work on their old jobs. The
story comes to climax when a
model of one of the planned
crackers, fantastic creature, part
camel, part elephant and part
moose, falls into the hands of a
phony professor who is planning to
enter politics with self-interested
program. He imagines that he has
made a rare archaeological find,
issues statement to the press to
that effect and so puts himself into
the boys hands. They compel his
retirement from politics and oblige
his backer to set them up with
factory.
The significance of the tale lies in
the fact that clay of which the
model is made has become iron

Cancer Research

Independent research by mem
bers of the staff of the Roscoe B.
Jackson memorial laboratory, Bar
Harbor, Mo. Q933), and Korteweg
Q934 of Holland demonstrated that
some maternal influence was Of
great importance in the develop
ment of breast cancer in mice. In
the various experiments it was
found that when females of high
breast cancer strains were mated to
males of strains with low Incl
dences, the progeny showed high in
cidences; when the opposite crosses
were made, the progeny had low in
cidences. This maternal influence
was later found to be transmitted in
the milk of females of the cancerous
strains (Bittner, 1886. In these stud
les mice born to females of can
cerous stocks were removed soon
after birth and were foStered by fe-
males of strains with low incidences
of breast cancer. In the initial eX-
pertinent the incidence was re-
duced from 95 per cent to per
cent; other groups have been fos.
tered with a reduction to 1 per cent.
In the first experiment some ami
mails were not removed from their
mothers until after they had
nursed a delay of "a hours has lit

Stone of Destiny

The rough sandstone block, 26
inches long, 16 inches wide, and IL
inches thick, fixed into the British
coronation chair by clamps Of
iron, is called Liza Fail, Gaelic for
Stone of Destiny, as it was believed
no one would be king of Scotland un.
less he had sat on it when being
crowned. The patriarch Jacob, ac-
Cording to tradition, used it as a
pillow when he dreamed of the
heavenly ladder. Stories about the
Stone of Destiny recount that it
passed from Egypt to Spain with a
son of Cecrops and about 700 B. c.
was brought to Ireland by the
Grandson of Cecrops when he and
the Milesians invaded that country.
Irish monarchs were crowned on it
on the Hill of Tara until Fergus the
Second, founder of the Scottish mon
archy, took the stone to Scotland,
where King Kenneth deposited it in
the monastery at Scone. Another
story, claims Scotia, daughter of
Pharash, brought it to Scotland, and
from her Scotland is supposed to
have received its name. The chair
is now kept in Westminster Abbey.
