World Of Stamps

Among
the Authors
By Carolyn Coeeins

The first book known to have a
'Enonalcoholic" edition is the Wed
ding Etiquette Complete" written
by Mrs. Logan Bentley who spends
her life arranging weddings in the
vicinity of Philadelphia. The book
was published recently by Winston,
who in 5000 of the $4,000 edition
inserted different chapter, re-
placing champagne and wines with
suggestions for serving coffee, and
tea, and punch.
When I went off to keep a lunch
appointment at the Algonquin the
other day with Arthemise Goertz,
whose new novel is Give Us Our
Dream" I expected to meet a
sturdy, large woman. Instead,
Arthemise is slender, almost fragile
looking, with luxuriant white hair,
hazel eyes and a white young face.
Arthemise and the heroine OF her
novel, the neighborhood spy, Mrs.
Marson, have a lot in common
their curiosity about people. The
difference Is that Mrs. Marson sat
up half the night with her opera
glasses trained on every one in 'tfle
street so that she brought their
most intimate lives right into her
own. Arthemise had to 60 out and
find her excitement, and SO far she
has covered a lot of ground.
First she married Creole gentle
man, her Spanish professor at Tu-
lane University, who lived in a
48-room house in New Orleans. On
this household, conversation flew
back and forth in French and
Spanish.) Then she went to Mexico
with her mother where she wrote
a book called, South of the Border" "
When war broke out all her pains
taking notes and writing had to be
burned. Then she and her mother
were taken to live with missionaries.
The first year was not so difficult
with them, but the last was dread
full. She developed beri-beri, and
now must take shots and pills the
rest of her life.
Arthemise has written fiction for
the pulps. and articles for De-
iineator, Mercury, Saturday Eve
ming Pest, and she has written for
papers in Mexico, Japan and Lon
don. This is her first novel.
At, the moment she is living in
Long Island, where she loves the
atmosphere which gave her the
ideas in Give Us Our Dream. and
from which she may have still an
other book shortly. In the autumn,
however, she will leave them to re-
turn to the South, going back to
the home she knew as a young
woman, Vaudeville, a little town
across the lake from New Orleans
where she was born.

Apparently there is a deep and
steady interest in the career OF
Nathan Bedford Forrest, for the
publishers find it advisable to bring
out the fourth printing of a biog-
raphy first published Is years ago
Mr.. Lytle's work is not so exhaustive
as Robert S. Henry's later book,
which probably will stand as the
definitive life, but it is sound, covers
the essential matters, and possesses
the virtue of reliability. He makes
it plain why Foch and Haig gave
Forrest respectful attention as one
of the American masters of strategy
and tactics, and how the latter in
spired in his men that personal 10y

ding of troops to compel the enemy
to fight in detail with consequent
destruction, the battle probably was

letter written to friend, dated July
5, 1776, the day following the adop-

Yesterday the greatest question
was decided which was ever decided

Though John Adams died on the

it took longer for the news to reach

July 10 that it. was reported by the
local press, as follows:
John Adams is no more-he de-

Hawaii is Ready
For Statehood
HAWAII. THE 4eth STATE

HAWAII, THE 49th STATE
BY Blake Clark. Doubleday, So
In the opening chapter Of his
book Blake Clark relates q conver-
sation he had with a friend on the
mainland on the subject of state
hood for Hawaii The author had
just returned from a trip to the is
lands, where he found the statehood
fever running high.
Its all very pleasant that the
people of Hawaii want us" he quotes
his friend as saying, "but do we
want them? Putting aside the
rather cold facts concerning taxes
and population, what kind of people
are they? =" -
He asks number of other ques-
tions: Is there a business monopoly
in the islands? Is the average
workingman a "peon or a free
man.? What kind of Americans
do the japanese, Chinese and Fill
pinos make? Most important of all
How will statehood benefit the rest
Of us?"
The author sets out to answer
these questions and he does it with
conviction.
He shows that as far back as 1926
American influence began to make
itself felt in the islands, then an
independent kingdom. This was
the date of the arrival of the first
missionaries from New England.
Although a race whose lust for
living shocked the staid New Eng
,landers, the HaWaiians showed
themselves to be remarkably recep-
tive to the new ideas of government,
religion and learningN
On the question OF whether the
japanese. Chinese and other races
in Hawaii make good Americans, -
Clark answers with an unqualified
yes. He offers some highly con-
vincing evidence to support his
view, but perhaps the most con-
vincing is the now well-known story
of the part which the Alas
Americans of japanese ancestry
played in the war.
The record of the AJAs is one of
the most thrilling chapters in the
history of the American people" he
says. 80 They stand today
as the Nations strongest single test
ament to the fact that Americanism
is not matter of race, color or re-
Iigion, but of the heart"
Clark shows that the average
worker in Hawaii lives in much the
same way as the average mainland
worker. He carries a union card,
likes sports, goes to the movies and
hopes some day to be the boss.
Although Hawaii is primarily an
agricultural community and her two
main industries, sugar and pine
apples, are highly developed, Clark
shows there's still room for the man
with enterprise and imagination.
AS on the mainland, labor and
capital do not always see eye to eye,
but they are agreed on one thing
That Hawaii is ready for statehood: !:
deserves it, and should have it now.
