FROM MY HEART

FROM MY HEART
BY Ellen Sitgreaves Vail Motter.
(GrGphic Arts Press, Washing
ton; $780,
This slender book of poems is
by Mrs. Murray Gait Motter who
lived in Washington for 40 years
while her husband was librarian
of the United States National
Public Health Service. She was
founder of the National Library
for the Blind and was a member
of the Board of Lady Managers
of the Episcopal Eye, Ear and
Throat Hospital.
Mrs. Motter, who is now 80, has
written these poems out of sheer
love of writing and they COM
memorate events in her life, be-
ginning with her earliest days ir
Kansas. They are lyric in nature
and flow from heartfelt senti-
ments. One of the most effec-
tive recalls the arrival of the body
Of the Unknown Soldier on a cold
gray day in November, 1921. Thai
she has gift for light verse also
is shown in a group of verses tc
her grandchildren.
There are several short poems
with a tranquil, almost breath
taking simplicity. One of them
entitled "The Monument, OaE
HILL" reads:
LoDe 1Drote a name upon my
heart long years ago,
Shielding me from loss.
Today read it through the
drifting snoW,
Grduen in granite on a cross.

And those who would be deferred
by such label probably won't like
it.
Recalls "Of Human Bondage"
Time of Hope" is certain to
bring up Somerset Maugham's S
masterpiece, "Of Human Bond
age" Not that Mr.. Snow writes
like Mr.. Vaughan; it is doubtful,
in fact, whether the earlier, more
enduring Vaughan had any par
ticular influence on the younger
novelist. 1t is simply that the
main theme of the two novels is
similar. Mr.. Shows Lewis Eliot,
who tells the story, is bound to a
girl who does an efficient job OF
messing up his life. He is a law
student, in the earlier pages, and
later a barrister. Mr.. Maugham's
medical student hasn't much in
common with young Eliot, except
both are studying for profess
sion. Mr.. Shows Sheila, daugh-
ter Of q country clergyman, is far
above Mr.. Maugham's waitress,
socially and intellectually. Each
girl is able, in her way, to hold
her man with unbreakable thongs,
rebuf1ng him meanwhile for a
time that seems interminable.
The development of the two
stories is entirely different.
There is no point in comparing
them-they are too unlike. Time
of Hope" quieter. more contem-
plative is not likely to be read by
anything like the public that has
read "Of Human Bondage"
though it is dangerous to predict
the future of a book. It might be
added that Mr.. Vaughan was not
the first to explore such a spiritual
enslavement of a man or q woman.
Nor will Mr.. Snow be the last.

sons seeking jobs through it's
80 local offices.
"We have experienced a con-
siderable drop in the number of
job seekers since the 212 1000
registered ON March 81, but we
still have many more on hand
than the So, 900 in October 1913"

He also said that the number
of persons receiving jobless bene-
fits is now about one-third of
what it was in March this year.
Last week some $4,000 persons
claimed unemployment compen-
sation, a drop of 5000 from the
previous week and 100,0 600 under
the $4,000 weekly average dur
ing January.

difficult to locate among present
applicants available. He said
present-day job seekers include
about 100, 900 men and $4,000
women. Approximately 1900
