What is it we do to the foreigners

ever and again calls attention to
our evident indifference to the down.
trodden within our gates. They
come to the United States with SO
bright a hope. Mr.. Num- says, in
this his first novel, that we exact of
them "the sternest humility at all
times"
He writes of the Mexican immi-
grant with unrivaled sympathy and
understanding. Scenes in California

Clyde Brion Davis. But the simply
paced clarity of Mr.. Nunn's prose is
very much his own. With it he
avoids the pitfalls of the beginning
novelist. He draws vivid pictures
and dramatic scenes and brings to
life the Mexican laborer.
For Pablo Alfierro, the hero, is a
man of alert mentality, of high
humor and of deepest depression.
Because of his intelligence he is
forced to leave Jalisco with his very
Indian" wife and children. In Ell
Paso he finds Lombardo, the tricky
and rollicking teller Of tall stories.
Together they push on into Cali

the Negro population has its part
IN this picture, although 1t is by
no means all of it. But there is
fairly Widespread recognition among
Southern leaders that their basic
problem Is economic, and that they
can best solve it by improving the
lot OF whites and Negroes alike.
A book then is timely which lists
many encouraging developments in
the South that are little known
because they are less dramatic, al
though often of more long-range
Importance, than conflict situations.
DR.. johnson submits herewith the
reports OF some TOO field representa-
tives, many of which should prove
enlightening to those who have been
told the Southern States do little
or nothing for their colored popu-
lations.
DR.. johnson is president of Fisk
University; the facts are presented
from a Negro educators point of
view; they are mostly stated didac-
tically. not always judicially. He
mentions the restraint of Negro
citizens in trying situations, not that
OF the white. AS any experienced
security official knows, incidents
which are kept trivial usually rep
resent good sense on the part of
individuals Of either race, and ma
jor ones represent a failure by both
sides. DR.. johnson also is inclined
to accept at face value all sources of
information; others see some dif-
ference between State official and
the Daily Worker, the Pittsburgh
Courier and the Nashville Tennes.

without too much interference from
her Zany mother and sister. But

Then there was James, the father,
who had an apartment In Holly
wood for the summer, and was
James particular pal. He could COL
laborate on the jingles she came
to do for revue prepping for q
New York opening. And there were
the strange people she met at the

ernistic music. Things began to
happen to Jane.
Miss Rives has written bright,
absorbing little tale, filled with sly

of the canal was recognized, espe-

locks and for other changes, de-
signed to strengthen hemisphere
security. And during the war Cap

see and to worry about the made
quacies of the vital link between
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Significantly, the book goes into
great detail regarding the futile
attempt of Ferdinand DeLesseps to
construct a sea-level waterway, as
he mad done so successfully at Suez.
While giving DeLesseps a large

Du Val makes it plain that it was

led to his heartbreaking failure. AS

Der of changes designed to elimi-

Collecting Dolls

CAROL DELLINGER.


Doll collecting in the last 10 years
has become a major hobby, verging
on big business and even, here and
there, slipping into a racket. The
old toy doll, the beloved plaything
of little girls of bygone days, has a
charm heightened perhaps by the
aroma of the past which seems to
cling to the folds of its quaint old
fashioned clothes and we feel some
|of the joy 1t brought to it's little
owner in those days when toys and
amusements were few and the doll
was the center of the care and love
of the playtime hours.
Clara Fawcett has given us a
guide to toy dolls, old and new,
many of which have been coming
out Of the trunks and attics after
many years of being forgotten and
neglected. Dolls (subtitled "A
Guide for Collectors') is the book
doll collectors have been waiting
for.
The author should know dolls.
She has collection of very fine
ones, many OF them quite rare, col
lected over period of many years.
She has examined thousands of
others.
The book is illustrated by the
authors own sketches of dolls, doll
heads, front and back; feet and
hands, makers marks, every possible
thing to help in Identification. The
author has sketched dolls from
many collections, museums and pri-
vate, and gives due credit for them.
It you are one of those who have
thought dolls were just dolls, this
book will take you into another
world and you will never be the
same again.

Despite dedication Of this piece
of fantasy to the cause of keeping

are among those who believe war
is inevitable between Russia and

of such a war between the years
1850 and 1955-with neither the end
nor the outcome even then in sight.
Without any extraordinary origi-

such dismal prophecies have never

What's in a Name?

The Bureau of Reclamation seems to think a
name is pretty important-at any rate this spring the
policies of the bureau in naming geographical and con
struction features were outlined at some length, and
with considerable effect upon a construction feature
that is Of primary interest to most Hardinites.
1t would appear from this directive that there IS
some possibility that the name of the Yellowtail dam
known as the Big Horn dam when it was Just a CLEAN
in the eve of local r~esidents) will have to be changed.
The bureau policy is against giving the name OF any
living person to any ma jor feature, it would seem, and
of course Robert Yellowtail, after whom the dam was
originally named, is still very much alive. He seems to
live up to most of the other qualifications set forth by
the Bureau, but that one item looks as though it may
prove to be a large stumbling block to the retention
of the dams present name.
If it does become necessary to make a change, we
understand that the Bureau will be very interested in
the opinions of those in Big Horn county as to what
the name should be.
There are many factors to be considered in NAM
ing anything that will be as important to the people of
this area as the dam. The name should be both digni-
fled and appropriate-those things go without saying.
We think the Grow Indians should have a voice in
choosing the name. 1t is located in the heart of the
Crow country and will have an important effect on the
value of reservation lands, for much Of the area that
will be irrigated from the reservoir will belong to the
Indians.
We should like very much to have our readers
give their suggestions and support their choice of a
name We shall be very happy to publish their letters,
and we hope that some of these letters will come from
the Crows.
