CRIME AND MYSTERY

Some plot turnings, including
the explanation for the ran
sacking at the apartment
where the body is found, are
awfully naive. but the book

a clever ladykiller. In "Kill-

ING: THE STORY OF
GEN. JOHN ]. PERSHING.
BY the editors of the Army
Times. putnam; $3.50
This brief biography of
Pershing in prose and pic
lures is an excellent por-
trayal. It appears appro-
priately on the Tooth ami
yersaryr Of the generals birth
in the hamlet Of Laclede, Mo.
Johnny" Pershing, as he
was known in his boyhood,
was descended from an Al
satan family originally
called "Pfirsching." BY the
time he graduated from West
Point, in the class of 1885,
he had become, for some
reason long forgotten, known
as BLACK Jack" Pershing, a
nickname that stuck to him
through his Army career.
Pershing was a combat Of
flcer from the first. Soon
after he was commissioned,
he was sent to Arizona and
took part in Skirmishes with
Geronimo. The young cav
airy lieutenant was in the
thick of the fighting for San
Juan Hill in Cuba and he was
decorated with the, Silver
Star for bravery. His record
sin the Philippines is well
Eknown; it resulted in his un-
sheard-of promotion by Pres
Zident Theodore Roosevelt
from captain to brigadier
egeneral.
8 When our almost total un-
preparedness for World War
I is considered, his feat in
building an army from
scratch and leading it to
victory is all.the more amaz-
ing in retrospect.
Gen. Pershing was admired
and liked. If he was not be-
loved, it was due to a certain
-austerity and stiffness in his
nature, which may have
come from some inherent
shyness. The tragedy that
struck when his wife and
three Of his four children
c perished in a fire at the
Presidio in San Francisco
'darkened the great days
ahead of him, his fame and
his assured place in history.
Collaborators on this fine
biography include Melvin E.
Ryder, publisher of the Army
Times; A. A. Hoehling, prof.
ect editor; H. R. Baukhage,
Col. Stephen Tillman and
Col. Joseph Virden.

"They call it patriotism" The

word being Latin "patria"

to picture yourself (if you
and this boy marry now
after q year or less of mar
riage.
You are quite young to be
seriously thinking of mar
riage and once you settle
down to the routine of mar
ried life, what then? A girl
of your age who has no out
side interests and lacks the
ambition to acquire even a
halfway decent education
sounds like a rather dull per-
son to me. Marriage isn't
just a case of sitting around
holding hands. To keep a
marriage alive a couple
should have both mutual and
individual outside interests.
My advice is first to tackle
your school work with a de-
termination to earn your
high school diploma. Your
boy friend will admire you
for it. Then I suggest that
you and your boy friend join
a young adult group at your
church and take part in
church activities. Take up
tennis, swimming. ballroom
dancing, square dancing or
other activities-things which
you can do together. Find
a group of congenial young
people with whom you can
have fun and make friends
and give yourselves time to
grow up a little more.
Then, If you and the boy
really believe you love each
other, go ahead with your
marriage plans but with the
realization that regardless of
how much a married couple
may love each other there
comes a time when they will
want and need friends and
outside activities.

What most of the youngsters seem really to be in

If you do not like to date
boys of your own age, why
not date sophomores or
juniors? Why must you date
seniors? Not only can the
three years difference in age
cause you to have problems
with your parents - quite
often senior girls resent a
freshman who is only in
terested in senior boys. An
other thing to consider is
this: If you ignore the sopho-

who are you going to date
when these senior boys grad
