DR.. Cooks Own
True Account
OF His Discovery

RETURN FROM THE POLE
BY Frederick A. Cook. (Pelle-
orini & Cudahy; $4.50.)
1.-The very air was charged
with madness. There was illu-
sion, delusion and misconcep-
ton in all that our troubled
eyes perceived. Could we ever
escape this frozen damnation,
the misery Of this miserable
world?"
This passage, describing the
return Of DR.. Cook and two Es-
kimos from the Polar regions in
1908 over an icy wilderness Of
mirages, starvation and terror,
sums up in a way the explorers
later life. It was a life of tragic
injustice and misunderstanding,
some of DR.. Cooks friends still
believe.
DR.. Cook hardly had come
back after vanishing a year in
the Arctic and reported his dis
covery of the North Pole than
Admiral Robert E. Peary flashed
word that he had reached the
Pole. Later Peary disputed
Cooks claim and declared it a
hoax. Most of the world took
Peary's word and called Cook
a fraud. This book, which DR..
Cook completed shortly before
his death In 1910, is being pub
lished for the first time.
In an introduction, Frederick
j. Pohl, a writer on exploration,
re-examines Cooks claim and
expresses belief that it was
valid. The later conviction of
DR.. Cook for mail fraud, for
which he served a prison term,
was based on the sale Of stock
in oil land that later proved
immensely valuable, Mr.. Pohl
reports.
The account of DR.. Cooks
return from the Pole" is a
vivid story Of mans courage
and triumph over almost in
superable odds. It should be
placed in the archives along
with the other evidence which
perhaps some day will be
weighed in a new appraisal of
the Peary-Cook controversy.

prince in Las Vegas, thought he
had found the answer to life.
How he and Larry and Bull
gradually were torn loose from
this safe mooring by the under
tow of the syndicate they
worked for, how Mitch was
ruined in the end, Bull driven
out of his mind and Larry into
exile is the tense story Mr..
Shulman tells.
I can find little to criticise
in this novel except its extreme
length. Many of the descriptive
passages could have been
trimmed without damaging the
narrative. On the whole, it is a
most able performance. And it
has, to use a Victorian express
sion still applicable, a lesson for
us all.

The VHtuosity
Of Joyce Cary
Revealed Anew
MISTER JOHNSON

MISTER JOHNSON
BY Joyce Cary. (Harper G.
Bros; So
In Mister Johnson" his most
unusual novel to date, Mr.. Cary
displays anew his virtuoSity. AS
a portrait of an affectionate
savage told from his own point
of view, it is a masterpiece of
understanding and presentation.
Mr.. johnson, child of nature,
fancieS himself. by virtue of his
position as a clerk in the British
Civil Service. as an English gen.
tleman. Accordingly he gives
himself airs among the other
natives, buys the belle of the
bush for his wife and gives epic
parties which throw the inhabi-
tants of the compound off stride
for weeks at time.
AS a servant of the King, Mr..
johnson leaves something to be
desired. His hand is ever in the
petty-cash drawer; his accounts
are miracles of legerdemain.
Moreover, Mr.. johnson is re-
vealed in time as a liar, a thief,
an extortionist and a murderer.
And yet he is a most engaging
fellow. man overf1owing with
the joy of living. triumphant in
good times, abject in bad.
Even when Mr.. Rudbeck the
district officer discovers that
his prime minister is charging
his own personal toll on the
new road. he finds it hard to
dislike Mr.. johnson. And when
Mr.. johnson gets in trouble
with Sergeant Gollup, the bru-
tai bearer of the white mans
burden, who kicks and beats the
natives at will, Mr.. Rudbeck
finds it very difficult to admin
lister imperial justice.
Mr.. Cary did a tour of duty as
a British colonial service and
has reproduced vividly the at
mosphere of the outpost and
the bush. First published in
England IL years ago, Mr..
johnson" is a truly masterful
picture Of the kind of rafflsh
character the author finds ire
sistible. He has told it in the
present tense which conveys
perfectly the buoyancy and
carefree quality of his hero.

simultaneously in moving your car
up to the designated floor and
laterally to the desired stall. The
cranes, which travel on steel rails
in penthouse running the length
of the building, move the entire
elevator shaft and assembly.
In one minute, with one button
pushed, your car can be parked
says Mr.. BoWser.
The elevator operator drives the
car onto the elevator. He pushes
one control button for the space
desired and the elevator and crane
moving together automatically
take the car to ths location. The
operator then drives the car for
ward or backward off the eleva-
tor into the designated space.
On the ground floor the cashier
through a system of electric cir
cults between elevator panels and
a lake panel in the Office, can tell
which stalls are vacant or filled
and can signal attendants as to
which cars are wanted.
The Des Moines building has
three elevators. 1t will have space
for parking approximately 43C
cars on its nine floors anc base
ment.
Des Moines city officials decided
to build such a structure as this
because it seemed to fit the avail
able space which was chosen fol-
its location near hotels, theaters
and stores. The area was toe
small for practical adaptation tc
the conventional ramp garage.

DES MONIES, Aug. 11-Des
Moines is spending 100000 on a
pioneer push button parking prof.
ect-the first of its kind in the
country.
That's about how much the
city has invested, including site
in a brand-neW elevator-type
building for parking cars. The
attractive, nine-story, glaSS-en-
closed structure is nearing COM
pletion in downtown Des Moines
Unlike the conventional parking
building in which your car is
driven up ramps for parking, this
structure is equipped with ele-
vators and cranes to carry cars
up and over to their stalls.
An operator pushes a button
and your car is moved into a
parking space-three, four, nine
stories up.
The idea was developed by V. O
Bowser, ST, head of a Baltimore
Md, engineering firm. For eight
years, the engineer has planned
and promoted his elevator-park-
ing building, touring the country
with a model. Des moines was the
first to buy a "Bowser system
garage. Mr.. Bowser explains his
structure this way:
Imagine two sets of bookshelves
face to face and separated by q
space in which the elevator is
situated. Each shelf represents
garage floor holding cars.
