The Ordeal of Woodrow VIII.
son, by Herbert Hoover.
One of the rare cases in which
one ex-president writes Of an
other through personal expert
ence, made even more rare be-
cause man of one political faith
praises a representative of the
other. It traces the high hopes
Wilson had for a better world
to their bitter disillusionment,
in way that makes the book
move almost like a Greek
tragedy. Based on personal ex-
perience and sound documenta-
ton, the book is a clear record
of the failure of Wilson'S hopes
that the IA Points and the League
of Nations would be the basis for
a future peaceful world.
The National Parks, What They

This richly illustrated book is

the essential physical features
which all can see.

The Angry Scar, by Holding
Carter.
A narrative history of Recon-
suuction by the Pulitzer Prize
winning editor of a Mississippi
daily, the book stresses the so
cial, economic and political as
poets of that peirod. A moving
story of the real tragedy of the
South, it illustrates clearly the
background for much of today's
troubles. Carter, who has fought
bigotry and fanaticism all his
life, is perhaps the South's out
standing moderate on the racial
question.

People who make new garden

Weed seeds have been known TO
germinate after being buried for
SO years. They spring into life when
stirring of the soil brings them to
the surface.
Being quick starters and vigorous
growers, they can beat our plants
in competition for food and water.
Some of them are hosts to insects
and diseases that come TO plague
us. They also spoil the appearance
of any garden. We must eliminate
them and the best way TO do il
depends on their habits. The peren-
nial weeds are the most difficult,
as they have deep roots or wide
spread rootStockS. Docks and dam
delionS, are best dug out, if there
are not many, or treated to a few
drops of gasoline when the top has
been cut to expose the root. Thick
