cures. Therefore they must be ap-
piled to the plant before the disease
gains a foothold. Two insect pests
which cause a great deal of trou-
BILE to rose growers are aphids and
thrips. Aphids (plant lice) are
very easily controlled by nicotine
sulphate or rotenone sprays.
Thrips are very small sucking in
sects which get under the rose
petals while they are still in breed,
sucking the juice out of them.

This causes the petals to dry up
and the rose bud fails to open.
Thrips are difficult to control be-
cause it is not easy to put the.
spray on them. DOT and Lindane
are probably the best sprays for
thrip control.

MARIA AND THE CAPTA1N

MARIA AND THE CAPTAIN
BY Isabel Dunn. (Bobbs-Merrill
$2.75.J
A delightful early conner to the
hammock fiction shelf, this is a
charming farce about q willful
Richmond debutante, who causes
a civil war within the ranks of her
ancient, aristocratic family. Maria
in any other city might be Just a
high-spirited girl; in Richmond
she is a disaster. A would-be ac-
tresS, she plays Judas Iscariot in
the drama school pageant on the
night of her coming-out and un-
fortunately is still bearded when
presented. The fairest flower of
a clan so unreconstructedly Con-
federate that her aunt changes
the name of her car from Lin
coin" to "R. E. Lee" she makes the
supreme faux pas of falling In
love with a Yankee.
The author pokes gentle and
affectionate fun at the old capital
OF the South. Her style is as ami
able as her heroine. If you're tired
OF social consciousness and inter-
national complications, by all
means call on Maria and the Cap
tian."

A ROUGH SHOOT

A ROUGH SHOOT
BY Godfrey Household. Atlan-
ttc-Little, BroDn; $780,
The author of Rogue Male" can
devise a story of suspense that
will keep your bed light on until
the last page is consumed. His
new novel is a hare-and-hound
episode involving a quiet business
man who lives in an English vii
lage with his wife and two chill
dren. He has rented the shooting
on a farm few miles away, and
his adventure starts at one of his
weekend hunts. It involves a
country squire who turns out to
be good deal more than that, a
mysterious plane that lands on
a homemade strip at night, an
international neo-Fascist organ
ization and-of course-Scotland
Yard. 1t develops that the prosaic
hunter served in the war-in fact,
commanded his battalion-and
developed traits of courage and
resourcefulness which come in
handy now. He and new friend,
a former Polish general, need all
their wits to keep ahead of some
men who have set out to do away
with them. The story moves un-
falteringly to a properly exciting
climax.

part in it with an unf1inchingE
purpose that calls forth even

Donough counters with a nasty
scandal involving a high school
principal who happens to be the

Mr.. Field knows his way around,

into practice. He cuts through the
smoke Of the smoke filled rooms

yes and yes and yes to their own

stand all is by no means to for

DARK LADY

A%&A4t44 Ax1o4
BY Gerda Robson. (Harper;; So
1t happens that another write,
also brings out first novel deal
ing with the same period in an
other Southern town. Beyond
this coincidence there is no re-
semblance between Miss Robi-
sons story and "The Claybrooks. u
Dark Lady" is the more fin
tshed literary performance,
though it lacks the earthly humor
andn regional atmosphere of Mr.
Huddleston's tale of the Clay
brooks. Dark Lady" is a highly
dramatic story of a domineering
and ruthless egotist, the father
OF a family. It's town is in Louisi-
anna FTanch community, iso-
lated in spirit, which does not
seem to have changed for a CEN
tury.
The patriarch, an ex-Confed-
crate major named Rathbourne
still clings to the glory he won
for an exploit in the war. He
has substituted his family for the
troops he led, and he rules his
wife, and his surviving son and
daughter with the same disci-
pline. There was a son, his first
whom he was raising In his image
to be a military man, and when
the boy was killed in an accident,
the major turned his grief and
disappointment into a simmering
fury against his remaining fam
lily, against the North and life in
general.
The story opens in 1905 with a
successful young Irish-American
painter named John Fitzgerald
coming from Paris, his home for
years, to the Louisiana town.
He is trying to trace his brother
who dropped out of sight after he
was reported to have eloped with
Maj. Rathbourne'S daughter. The
town is strange to Fitzgerald, who
paints under the name of Merrill.
and he must feel his way.
The disappearance of young
Tony Fitzgerald is a mystery
which no reviewer without a
grudge against all readers would
explain. 1t takes Miss Robson a
good while to get under way, but
once she does, her story is absorb
ing to the chilling close.
The aging but unabated major
Is a character worth hating. No
one so sinister has come out of
recent fiction. There are many

novel, though it has some of the
best qualities of that maligned
species. More modern in style, it
still has the depth and length of
perspective and the natural colors
of the literary painting of the last
century.
The year is 1910, and we are
concerned with q leading family
in small Tennessee town. The
Claybrooks have money, a fine
house. extensive stables-their in
fuence is beyond question. And
yet, like most great families. they
have their vulnerable points. One
of these. Tabby, the youngest
daughter. returns home unan-
nounced after years of absence.
She is a successful actress and a
wealthy widow. She brings her
5-year-old son Jock, whose exis-
ence was not known to the family.
Jocks legitimacy becomes an issue
which not only splits the family
but stirs the whole town.
1t would take a lot of space
even to outline the story. which
is intricate but managed adroitly.
The plot turns melodramatic and
rather lachrymose in the closing
chapters. The author found him
self with surfeit of warning
characters and he removed at
lease two of them through vio-
lence-always a convenient way,
but seldom wholly persuasive and
particularly implausible here.

These authoritative books on
the Navy's submarine operations

pose of the book by Admiral Cope
and Capt. Karig is to give the
unlnitiated general idea of the
versatility Of our submarines in
war OF the sort that engulfed the
Pacific after Pearl Harbor. The
authors have selected the stories
OF a number of submarines to il
lustrate this versatility. Thus,
they tell not only of the torpedo
attacks on enemy shipping, but
OF such raiding tactics as the
Maxim operation, support of guer-
rillas in the Philippines, periscope

that this great record would have
