Suit Prices
Go Down

FRANKFURT-(P) - Complete
mems suits are being offered in
Frankfurt for $500 and even less
these days. Street peddlers are
buying them and have a roaring
trade selling them in the outskirts
of the city.
Two months ago the same suits
were priced at $4,000 to $4,000.
The prices fell when stores ac-
cumulated surplus quantities of
summer-weight suits. The ped
dlers bought them up almost for
nothing.

The United States will be rep
resented in the forthcoming tour
ney at Mar del Plata, Argentina,
by the veteran master, DR.. Edward
Lasker. He will encounter a
formidable field, including Euwe,
Medina, Pachmann and Szabo
from Europe, and Julio Bolbochan,
Eliskases. Najdorf, Pink, Ros-
setto and Stahlberg, residents of
South America. Last year the
combination of a long journey and
a long tourney proved too much
for Arnold Denker, who is Lasker's
junior by 80 years. But Mr.. Lasker
looks 20 years younger than his
actual age and all American fans
will hope that his stamina proves
equal to the trial.

college and Southern competi-
tions. Mr.. Chauvenet, in spite of
the handicap of total deafness, is
pursuing graduate studies in
chemistry at the University of
Maryland. He had 6-1, and the
remaining scores were N. Robins,
512-112; D. H. Mugridge and S.
Naidel, 412-212; w. J. Nucker,
312-31a; w. c. Michaels, 2-5; A.

In another rapid on February
10 the three prize winners were
D. H. Mugridge. 1910; o. Shapiro,

one of which was to Mugridge.

James 7. ForYeIrs Face Gets All Lit Up
When He Talks About Rival Foqorty
By Mon McGrory

Anybody who had his ear to the
ground last week probably got the
word that Jonathan Titelestu
Fogarty was in town lobbying for
an appropriation for the Discov-
cry of the World Brain, an organi-
zation for which Fogarty, who
likes to think of himself as man
in a mans world and a gentleman
in a lady's world is secretary and
treasurer.
Nobody has ever actually seen
Fogarty, who is said to look like a
courtly old-school type, bit on
the forid side, but James T. Far
rell, the novelist, turned out to be
quite an authority on the life and
works of this engineer for human
happiness"
Mr.. Farrell, who makes an an
nual excursion W '. ..IS-lin5 ION just
to see what is going on, was one
of the most interested and untir-
ing spectators at the Senate Labor
Committee hearings last week.

MALMEE
The Mother of Little Women.
BY Sandford Salyer. University

Let Philip Wylie say what he
will about "Mom," the "Marmee"
of Little Women" will always be
a heroine to the generations of
American girls WHO continue to
take that classic of young woman
hood to their hearts. That Mar
NEE" was drawn faithfully from
life by her second daughter is
completely documented by this
biography. AS the wife of Bron-
son Alcott, a noble but improvi-
dent philosopher, this spirited de-
scendant of the Quincys and the
Hancocks had the thankless role
of providing the plain living" for
the family while her husband did
the high thinking" Despite nu-
merous financial setbacks and the
failure of her husbands Utopian
schemes, she always managed to
provide an atmosphere of warmth
and security for her broed. BY

meaning from the progress of a
black-haired man leading a jet
stallion through the town as his
wife pridefully watches him. He
tells in muted tones of the sudden
death of Boy Scout amid the
jubilation of first night in camp,
of the anguish of little girl whose
name has been written on the
shutters of store where her
father will surely see it: of the
dying woman who wants her luck
less husband to sing at her wake;
Of the burial of an old Story-teller
displaced by the radio. His themes
are slight and he handles them
with the gentle deftness of the
born story-teller. 1t is. as he says
in one of his stories, 1--WE started
with tiny imaginative embers and
kept blowing and blowing until we
had a mythical conf1agration."
Young Mr.. MacMahon, who has
had enthusiastic reception in both
England and Ireland. has written
his best story in Gentlemen, This
Is Armageddon,' a bitter, indirect
little tale about an actress, mar
ried to a lumpish farmer and at
the mercy of a vindictive mother
in-laW. who is visited by three old
stage friends.
Mr.. MacMahon, who is a bal
ladier as well as a tory-teller, has
not the fastidious artistry and
irony of Frank O'Connor, but
there is vital. infectious SYM
pathy and vividness of express
sion which should endear him 10
many readers, and insure a warm
reception for his future books.

! pleased to have young workers tell
him that's my life" after reading
Studs; even more so to be told
by a young teaching nun who at
tended one of his lectures that she
recommends the book to her high
school students as "a study of the
results of spiritual poverty" Such
things crafty him far more than
the fact that critics use Studs as
stick to beat down his later
works, some of which he thinks are
better.
His Lost Manuscript.
But about Fogarty. Mr. Farrell's
face lights up like the Capitol
dome at night when the mans
name is mentioned, although Fog
arty might be considered profess
sional rival, since he has contrib
uted to the Commonweal. the New
Leader and the Saturday Review OF
Literature. And the New York
Times published the news last
summer that Fogarty is writing a
book.
"Fogarty can't stand me, you
know" said Farrell in a playful
tone that has never crept into any
of his books. HE thinks I'm q
sour, glum guy. His favorite writer
is the well-known Bard of Avon"
Fogarty, Mr.. Farrell said, is
considered by his friends to be
"the most normal man they
know" He wants everybody to be
happy and is willing to put his
shoulder to the wheel to discover
the world brain so that everybody
can be happy.
Fogarty. about whom Mr.. Far
rell knows practically everything.
considers Senator Taft "a mighty
smart man." Fogarty heard every
thing that Senator Taft said at
his grandfather's knee and that
proves to Fogarty that Senator
Taft's ideas are durable"
He also considers President Tru-
man "a mighty fine man" because
President Truman said that this
was momentous period in history
and Fogarty has been saying that
right along.
At the Senate Labor Committee
hearings Fogarty was impressed by
Senator Smith of New Jersey, be-
cause Senator Smith keeps telling
everybody not to get excited and
that's what Fogarty is always tell
ing Mrs. Fogarty.
Farrell says Fogarty first wanted
to sell shares in his world brain
idea. but then decided it would be
more in keeping with the Ameri-
can way to have Congress vote an
appropriation. He has always un-
derstood that Congress likes to
vote appropriations.
He has chosen Henry Wallace
to be assistant world brain be-
cause Henry Wallace is the best
assistant he has ever seen.
Fogarty, who appreciates the
sunlight and the moonlight, and
has drunk deep of the lore Of the
ages and the sages, has other
schemes afoot, including rocket
to Mars, cure for cancer and q
movie about Stain which will "ac-
centuate the positive"
What does Mr.. Farrell think Of
Fogarty?
Il think he is crazy" he said
happily. II think he ought to be
put away"

BY Howard Spring. (Harper &
Bros; $780,
Reviewed by
MARGARET BLAIR SHUNfAKER.
It looks as though Howard
Spring is about to have another
best-seller to add to his list.
There Is No Armour" Mr..
Springs latest novel. will find stiff
competition in his earlier best
sellers. Fame Is the Spur" and
MY Son. My Son." but it is
equally rich in the qualities which
made them so popular.
Howard Spring is a story teller
and a good one, but above and
beyond that he has the happy
faculty of drawing attractive
and convincing characters. Mr..
Springs heroes and villains are
not men of straw set up to show
good and bad, they are under
standable and quite memorable
people. When the book Is read
and the weave of the plot becomes
indistinct. the characters do not
fall apart as If lost without the
bolstering environs Of a story.
They have an existence of their
own and a reality.
There Is No Armour" is the
story of the career, both amatory
and artistic, of a Manchester boy
VINO becomes a famous portrait
painter. It would be tempting
to compare this book with Joyce's
Portrait of the Artist" since it
has the same general theme, but
to do so would be unjust to Mr..
Spring for he makes no preten-
sions at reflective depth. And
since he makes none, We should
not judge him harshly simply be-
cause some one else has treated
his subject more significantly.
What Mr.. Springs book aims to
give and does give is reading
pleasure. His story spans the 10th
century and re-creates lively, reck-
less and tragic drama. What the
book may lack in lasting signifi-
canoe is compensated for by its
good reporting of vanished days
and by the very we'll etched char
acters presented to live these days
