THE MERCILESS TRUTH

Three days later he again showed
up at the office. In accordance with
our request he had facts and fig
ures.
The information showed that the
veteran had five years of army
service, that he was married, had
one dependent, and was permanent
ly employed by the Post Office
Department.
1t also showed that his father
had been in the transport business
knowing van) for Is years, that
he was about ready to retire and
had offered to turn his business
over to his son if his son showed
initiative enough to get out and
get himself a new truck.
The old man (who evidently was
a good business mani had sent
along a statement of how much
income tax he had paid on his bust
ness last year and made his son
include a statement that he had
approximately $265 to put into
the business once he got started.
We took all this information and
fixed it up into a simple statement
which in first sergeant's Ian
guage," amounted to something
like this:
Mister, | wanna borrow $2,4OO.
| want the money to buy a new
truck. When get the truck | will
go into business with my father
who has been in the trucking bust
ness for 20 years. Last year the
business crossed eighteen thousand
dollars.

TROUBLE WITH A
BANKER

A guy walked into the office
last Monday and accused us of
writing propaganda" He said
most of the advice on how to go
into business given by this column
to veterans, depended on the vet
eran obtaining a CT loan. He said
the advice was a lot of hooey be-
cause banks are not making loans
to tan veterans.
The veteran said he had tried
at five different banks to get a CT
loan with which to buy a truck and
at each bank he had been turned
down cold.

DATE WITH A BANKER


There was only one thing to do,
Joe. We told the veteran we were
from Missouri. He said get your
hat and come with me. Not yet.
We wanted to know a few things.
Did the veteran have a certificate
of eligibility for loan? Yes he had
that. What kind of trucking bust
ness was he going into? He didn't
know. Said he might go into bust
ness with his father but he had not
made up his mind.
Did he have a bank account t?
How was his credit rating? Mar
ried or single? Any dependents? In
answer to all Of these questions,
the veteran asked US "Why?" He
said all that had no connection with
his application for a CT loan be-
cause the Government was backing
it up.
We finally explained to him that
these banking people are pretty
nosey, even if Uncle Sam is stand
ing behind you, and the veteran
left the office with a list of ques-
tons concerning his personal af-
fairs and those of his family which
he promised to answer and return
to US before we decided to visit
another bank.

A Readers Guide
to the Years Best Books

Last year. The Star, in its Christ
mas Supplement, invited your atten-
ton to your own city. to Washing
ton, "a city of books" stressing the
vast amount of reading done by the
local population and the great book
treasures which Washington posses
ses in it's libraries. This year, The
Star wishes to reassert that empha-
sis and to stress further that your
city of Washington is one of the
worlds great literary and intellec-
tual capitals as we'll as one of the
great political ones.
These are the main aims of
this issue of the Christmas Book
Supplement.
Their fullfilment, however, does
not end the Supplements material.
Never has there been a time when
there was greater interest in the
personalities of writing people than
exists at the present moment. The
Supplement accordingly furnishes
you with feature on this subject.
And finally. it has not neglected
humor, for the whole. spectacle of
book production today, combining as
it does the aspects of big business
and solitary artistic creation, high
pressure publicity and exquisite
sensibility, literature in the old i'm
mutable sense of the word and con-
temporary literary grist, is not with
out due amusement.
All the articles in the Christmas
Supplement were written exclusively
for The Star. Madame Undset and
Mr.. VerisSimo made their contribu-
tions in English; Mr. Ambriere wrote
in French, the translation being
arranged for with the Library of
Congress.
The Star urges you to use the
Christmas Supplement freely in
forming your opinions of the books
of 1916. Whether you are buying
books to. keep or to give. or merely
want to inform yourself on the
merits of the years printed harvest,
it will furnish you with authoritative
guidance.

YOUR friends can read you ought to
r be able TO get the bulk of your Christ
mas shopping done this year by brows-
u ing around for few hours in the city's
bookshops.
Selecting the right books for the right
people is not always easy, OF course. You
may suffer an understandable squeamishness
over trying to pick something suitable for
those on your list whom you suspect of having
discriminating literary tastes. Nevertheless,
even If you travel around in circles where
the rate of literacy is high, you should be
able to find an ample variety of books which
will satisfy any Of your friends.
A few of them can be listed here. There
are many others available in Washngton's
bookstores. The titles appearing in this
article are a mere sampling of potential gift
books and are intended to give you a rough
idea of what to look for when you do your
Christmas shopping.

ment. 1t is intended to per-
form two services for you.
First, it will furnish you with an
authoritative critical guide to the
books of 1916 which had been pub
lished up to the time of its going to
press. Under their respective heads
as fiction, poetry, history, politics
and so forth-those books are re-
viewed in its pages by writer's, spe-
cially qualified. Also. for the Christ
mas shopper, there is an article
dealing with books most likely to
make attractive gifts, running from
inexpensive pocket volumes all the
way to costly handsomeness. And
children's books, of particular inter-
est at this season, are given special
treatment by an expert on the sub
ject. M. Ethel Bubb in charge of the
children's department of the Wash
ington Public Library.
Second, the Christmas Supplement
will bring you a picture of literary
conditions in those foreign countries
whose books are most frequently
read and translated in America.
With an unbroken year of peace be-
hind them, writer's everywhere are
finding their feet and beginning to
give expression to the new condi-
tions which face us all. The Christ
mas Supplement undertakes to place
before its American readers a re-
sumo of the literary movements TAX
ing place in the lands most closely
associated with our own.
To that end. it's editors have in
vited prominent writer's from the
United Kingdom, France, the coun-
tries of Northern Europe and Latin
America to contribute articles on
the current literary picture in their
respective regions. Putting the sew
eral summaries together, you will be
able to attain a revealing view of the
contemporary moods of those lands
with which we maintain our closest
literary ties.

Books Which Reflect
The Christmas Spirit

Out-and- out Christmas books, which show
up in profusion at this season, are always
acceptable presents for nearly all ages of
readers. Two particularly delightful new
books in this category are The Story of
Jesus in the Worlds Literature edited by
Edward Wagenknecht c"Creative Age) ana
MARY and the Spinners," by Elizabeth Hol-
lister Frost Coward -McCann). The first is
an anthology of verse and prose on the Ma
tivity culled from the myriad OF writers
through the ages who have been fascinated
nv Christianitys most beautiful story. Miss
Frost's book is fantasy on the birth OF
Christ as told by five of Mary's schoolgirl
friends
Equally reliable as gifts that will be appre-
ciated are the reprints of classics, which are
abundant, as usual, this year. Such selec-
tions are always safe, since no real book lover
ever looks disdainfully at well-designed
special edition, even though he may already
have the classic In some other form.
Real Treasures to Be Found
Among the Special Editions
Edward Fitzgeralds immortal translation
of the "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam' is with
us again in two new versions. One reprint,
put out by the Garden City Press, is illus
trated generously by Edmund Dulac and
comes, boxed, in large and elaborate bind
ing. The other, from Hartsdale House, is
bit more restrained in formal but lustier in
its illustrations, which were done by Edmund
j. Sullivan.
For those who like their Shakespeare IN
one large gulp, there is THE Complete Shake
speare," which comes with de luxe equip
ment, including illustrations by Rockwell
Kent a preface by Christopher Morley,
Temple notes, glossary, set of indices and
synopses of all the plays
Balzacs Droll Stories have also blossomed
forth again, this time from the Garden City

is probably as good word as you can find for
them.
