History in Pictures

If you would have Lincoln as a
guest in your home, get Stefan
Lorant's Lincoln: A Picture Story
of His Life" (Harper). There are
more than 500 pictures including
all of the Lincoln portraits and
about 100000 words of text. 1t is
vivid and exciting.
Mr.. Lorant is defender of Mrs.
Lincoln. So is J. G. Randall, one
of the ablest of the Lincoln stu
dents, who has written Lincoln
the President: Midstream" Dodd,
Mead. A scholarly work, it comes
seven years after his first two
volumes which followed Mr.. Lin
coin from Springfield to Gettys-
burg.
A picture of Lincoln and Civil
War Washington through the eyes
of a Frenchman is supplied in
the Marquis Adolphe de Cham
bruins Impression of Lincoln and
the Civil War" (Random House,.
It is a collection of letters written
to his wife and now published for
the first time.
A need that has existed for
years has been filled excellently
with one-volume biography.
Abraham Lincoln" CKnopf), by
Benjamin P. Thomas. It is the
best single-volume work since Lord
Charnwood's. published 35 years

the new material brought to light
since then.
A work of condensation and
convenience is Personal Memoirs
Of U. S. Grant" (World Publishing
co... edited by E. B. Long. It

into one.
While dealing with books of this
period, it is appropriate to bring
in ''The Diary Of George Temple

Allan NevinS and Milton Halsey

covers 40 years and also covers

If the new President should seek
guidance in the acts of his pred
eceSsorS he will find much mate

and other works published in 1852
Most of the great Presidents
Jackson is not present, how
ever-and a number of the not
SO great are represented. They
span the whole period of the
United States from Washington
to Truman. What gaps exist are
filled in by the general works pub
lished this year.
The never-failing interest in
Lincoln and the Civil War has
produced a new crop of works,
some of them first rate And
there appears a belated tendency
to do justice to Mrs. Lincoln. She
Is beginning to be pictured as a
woman of simple charm, helpful
to her husband and not the trial
to him that she has frequently
been depicted.
Elsewhere on this years shelves
are needed volumes on Josef
Stain. The supply heretofore has
not kept pace with the interest,
and now the interest is coming to
center on the condition in which
he will leave his country-aS he
comes nearer to leaving it.
There is also an excellent one
volume history of World War II
in Europe and still some contribu-
tionS by or about leaders of that
war. There are some excellent
works treating of the overall his
tory of the United States. And
there is a fascinating biography
OF Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

The Early Presidents

Going back to the first of the
Presidents. there is Douglas South
all, Freeman's fifth volume Of his
great biography OF Washington
(Scribner's). Subtitled Victory
With the Aid of France" it car
rieS the life of Washington to the
climax of the Revolution at York
town.
The second President is repre-
sented by John Adams and the
Prophets of Progress" (Harvard).
by Zoltan Haraszti. This volume
centers it's attention on Adams
books, most Of which are now in
the Boston Public Library where
Mr.. Haraszti is an official. Adams
marginal notes while reading
Rousseau, Bolingbroke. Turgot and
others provided a guide for stu
dents of Adams reactions to their
ideas.
Thomas jefferson and his phi
losophy might be called one Of our
chief theological weapons against
communism. Interest in him is
unflagging. Julian p. Boyd and
his associates have advanced an
other volume in their monumental
1.-The Papers of Thomas Jefferson"
(Princeton). This volume. the
fifth, covers three months of JEFF
ferson's governorship of Virginia
when it was invaded by the Brit
iSh.
Prof. NevinS has performed an
other valuable service in editing
Polk: The Diary of a President.
1845-1949" Oongmans. Green).
President Polk was a dour and
methodical individual. But in one
term he reformed the Treasury
and the tariff, settled the Oregon
dispute, directed the Mexican War
to q successful end and left the
Nation prosperous and 100000
square miles larger.
To this reviewer that record
qualities Polk as one Of the great
Presidents. Prof. NevinS, however.
holds that the term "Polk the
Mediocre" might be applied to
him, but only in q comparative
sense" as with Hayes or Coolidge.
He might have made it a quar-

third volume of his work, Lincoln
Finds a General (McMillan). 1t
is vivid account of the war in
the West.
The other book is Lincoln and
His Generals" CKnopD, by T.
Harry Williams. It. too, deals
with Lincoln's search for an able
general and depicts the dis
heartening procession of COM
manders until Grant took over.
1t is Mr.. Williams opinion that
Lincoln was a better strategist
than most of his military men.

old F. Gosnell: Franklin d.

and working With Roosevelt"
(Harper), by Samuel l. Rosenman.
Mr.. Gosnell'S book portrays the
late President as an expert whose
campaigns were shrewdly and ex-
haustively planned. Mr.. Freidel's
book is the first of six volumes
of a full-length biography. Mr..
Rosenman. of course. is the amia-
BILE ghost who helped Mr.. Roose-
welt write speeches. His book in
cludes a number of anecdotes.

WiIIkie and Trumun

1nseparable from the Roosevelt
story is the story of Wendell
Willkie. Mary Earhart Dillon has
written Wendell Willkie" Lip

Barnes has written "Willkie: The
Events He Was Part of-the
Ideas He Fought For" (Simon 6s
Schuster). Both authors are ad-
mirers and both recognize Will
kie's impact on the thinking Of
the Republican Party.
Finally, on this roll of the Presi-
dents, is Mr.. Truman. "Mr. Presi-
dent" (Farrar, Straus g. Young).
by William Hillman, includes pas
sages from Mr.. Truman's diaries.
and papers and revealing inter-
views. One might almost say Mr..
Truman had written the book
himself SO personal a document,
it is. It Is beautifully illustrated
with pictures by Alfred Wagg.

tory-if President Roosevelt had
met Prime Minister Konoye in
Alaska in 1941, a settlement of
the Pacific problems would have
been reached.
OF World War II, there Is "The
Struggle for Europe" (Harper), by
Chester Wilmot, an Australian. It
poses some questions about our
military leadership and our poll
tical policies. But it is the best
one-volume history Of the war i'm
Europe so far.

Wilson and Hoover

In Woodrow Wilson'S Own
Story" Little. Brown, Donald
Day presents story of Wilson's
ideas in the form Of q digest Of
what he said and wrote. In treat
ment it is similar to Mr.. Days
book last year on Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
Herbert Hoover has produced
this year two more volumes of his
memoirs (Macmillan). The first,
the volume covering "The Cabinet
and the Presidency" is frequently
amusing and pleasantly philo-
sophical. In contrast. the second
volume, "The Great Depression"
is tortured, sometimes bitter

call that depression the Hoover

THIS SOLID GROUND
A NEW YEAR MESSAGE

she pronounced each word. "The
earth is Gods, and the fullness
thereof. The world and they that
dwell therein. For He hath found
ed it upon the floods and estab-
lished it upon the seas Who
is the King of Glory? The Lord
God of Hosts"
The chaplain rabbi felt a new
insight and application of the ia
miliar and favored words, of
Psalms. Seeking to. quiet the pa
tient, and to offer courage to a
discouraged and fearful person,
he said:
Each one of us needs the feel
ing of solid ground. Yet note
what the Psalms say. Only thru
the turmoil and turbulence of the
emotions, do any of us come to
solid ground. That is why the
Psalm proceeds, who can stand,
who can keep his balance and
hold his equanimity? Only he
whose hands are clean, and
whose heart is pure, who has not
thrown life away nor wasted it.
Then he feels his head lifted up
in self respect and inner conf
dence, to the King of Glory which
is God"
This sickroom application of
the Psalm has steadied many pa
tients. Its value as therapy and
cure is considerable. But the ap-
plication goes beyond the sick
room. The Psalm is like refrain
in parts of the New Year services.
Through the turbulence of events
and the turmoil of restless cir
cumstances, may each be able to
find composure and courage from
God.

CHICAGO, April % (CDN.-
Living on strict budget is not a

experts.

want moSt-which means leaving
out many things greatly desired,
said Miss Hazel Kyrk, home eco

She said the person who says
Il never spend an extra cent sc

who should be budgeted.
Its even more important TO,
that person that the most essen
tial things be secured" she said
She warned that a budget should
not be used by a housewife to re-
form her husband, if he drinks a
nip too many or buys too many
two-bit cigars.
That's the person that almost
always says the budget doesn't

to taste, temperament, values or
buying judgment by making a

Beware of the budget experts

There just isn't any expert who
can say what you want to buy

If the advice was radically diff

do, you wouldn't do it anyway"
How do you start a budget?
Buy SO cents worth of paper.
Keep track of expenditures for
a month or two-to see what you
have been doing right and wrong.
Then tally up your fixed costs
such as rent and non-fixed items
such as food and balance them

When he refused to drop 1t and
continued his advance, the police
man fired twice. Walker ran
through the door past the police
man, who then fired three more
shots. Walker collapsed on the
