TO HE'LL IN A HANDBAS

~ 4ASAA AN n 1xHINDDhO-
KET. BY H. Allen Smith.
341 pp., illus. Doubleday
& Co., $4.95.
Somewhere in ITO He'll in a
Handbasket" H. Allen Smith
remarks that by offending
newspaper publishers as q
class and q good many of
them as individuals he has
pretty well assured his new
book Of hostile notices.
As a matter of fact, he has
committed a far more serious
crime. H. Allen Smith has
defended copyreaders.
Now copyreaders are those
malevolent minions who re-
ceive the limpid outpourings
Of the gentlemen of the press
and so often transform them
into illiterate jumbles which
are then printed. Max Steuer
wouldn't have taken the case,
but Mr.. Smith has. It is q
mistake.
But to tell the truth, this
Is the only mistake in the
latest outpouring of the
Smith muse. Once in q while
there Is q minor inconsis-
tency. At the outset, Mr..
Smith announces that 81 am
generally classified as q hu-
morist. but I don't particu-
larly care for the designa-
ton" The closing sentence
proclaimS that II am q hu-
morist::" (The colon serves

volume Of "reminiscences is

NO MATTER. "Consis-
tency is the hobgoblin :"
and the most important SIM
gle fact about ITO Hell in a
Handbasket" Is that it is
very, very funny.
Some of the stories in it
have been told before, but
they are genuine vintage
stuff, age and retelling do
them no harm. Until 1912,
MIR. Smith was a newspaper
man-copyreader, rewrite e
man, feature writer and
nearly everything else on a
wire service Cor was it twoO
and a long string Of news
papers in large cities and
tiny towns. ITO Hell in a
Handbasket" is mostly about
these sterling organs and the
equally sterling characters
associated with them. The
rest Of. it oncerns Mr..
Smiths boyhood in that part
of Illinois known as Egypt.
No nostalgia here. Trav-
elers have d mn e d Egypt.
Sociologists have studied it,
lost their academic objectiv-
ity and echoed the travellers.
Mr.. Smith offers a generous
sampling of their opinions
and not q few Of his own.

also a sight that should bring

effect, and there is an alternative. Just swallow,
pause, or take deep breath And if you can't avoid
clearing, do it as gently as possible.
4. Try to keep your mouth closed when you
are out in cold or damp air. When you must speak
be sure you open your mouth wide enough, because
clamping the teeth creates tension.
5. Never talk too much when you're Overtired,
when your throat is dry, or when you're very
hungry. If you take cocktail, you should also
avoid talking too much, for your larynx becomes
desensitized and you're apt to misuse your voice
because it sounds better to you.

strong and healthy, you should know these ways of
guarding it:
1. Never bend your head forward or to one side
while talking. Many people do, especially while on
the telephone.
2. Never wear tight belt or girdIe. This inter-
feres with abdominal breathing, which is necessary
for easy vocal use. Too tight collar can also cause
harm by pressing on the larynx.

Your Voice

6. Don't talk above constant noise in the
your voice frequently. One patient had severe
ulcers on his vocal cords simply because he could
rest his voice. He had to talk above the noise
in his plant all day and then at night had to talk to
his wife, who was hard of hearing. If you work in
factory, in department store, around arpanes, or
any other place where the noise level is HIGH rest
your voice for an hour or so during the day.
ARY following these few simple suggestions, and
you will be rewarded by healthier, stronger and
attractive voice. The END
