Gossip About Books and Authors These English lady explorers: What do you suppose starts them off and are there as many as our reading makes us think? Bady Richmond Brown has just written Af her adventures in UNKNOWN TRIBES—UNCHARTED SEAS (Ap pleton). She and her companion, F. A. Mitchell Hedges, went Into the jungle depths north of the Panama Canal, a Jungle region r.bsolutely unvisited by white men. In order to save their heads from being added to the grim rows of mummi fied cfaniums which decorated the village, they posed as visiting gods, a myth they continued during their Whole life among the savages. The Board of Trade <■£ Myrtle av enue, Brooklyn, recently took steps to honor the memory of Walt Whit man who lived for many years in the Myrtle avenue sertlon. They are going to erect appropriate tab lets and also maintain somewhere within the district a permanent Walt Whitman room devoted to the collection of Whitmanln. Perhaps you’ve heard of the won derful intelligence of the elephants. Frank G. Carpenter, In his book, FROM BANGKOK TO BOMBAY, tells as a fact that an elephant pil ing teak will lift a log and lay It down with the others as though he had measured each piece. Some times he will stop and s iuint at the pile and then butt or kick Into place logs that are out of line. In some places, the animals work in gangs with boss elephants that keep the others up to their work by beating them with their trunks. They are given the" best of care for they cost from (l,50o to $5,000 apiece. How the liquor problem was han dled by our fathers in New Amster dam, is described in Harold Don aldson Eberlcin’s book, MANORS AND HISTORIC HOMES OK THE HUDSON VALLEY. They put an excise tax on wine ai d beer and they also looked after the behavior of the people and imposed a penalty . for excessive drinking. When a drunken man was discovered, if the authorities could not f.ud out who was the seller of the liq lor that had caused the Inebriety, they levied a fine upon every drinking house in the entire city. "Hundred per cent, patriotism and confidence in Nordic superiority are the two most dangerous ideas in the world today, because they lead in exactly the opposite direction from that which civilization must take If it is to survive," says Herbert A. Miller in his new book, RACES, NATIONS AND CLASSES, pub lished by J. B. Llppiucott. "The fundamental objections to these ideas are, first, that they have no basis in fact, and second, that the innovations which they organized would have far-reaching and dis ruptive consequences. “Both these Ideas may be de scribed as defense complexes which have sprung into focus with the first uneasy feeling that the old assumptions are no longer valid. “In the last 400 yea s the people ivho are classified as Nordics have succeeded In getting control over most of the surface of the globe. The white race, led by this small fraction of Itself, has come to feel that It has been dest ned to rule the two thirds of the human race Not Yet—But Sion? From the Docket. During the cross-examination of a witness In a certain civil case In Ten nessee, the following occu. s in a deposi tion: "How many times have you been ar rested and convicted? "Oh, two or three timei, I guess." "What for?" "Public profanity and carrying a pistol.” "Haven’t you also been indicted and convicted for public drunkenness, or ar rested or convicted before a magistrate, I one or both?" ”Y*e; but what has that got to do I with this case?" "Haven't you also baen arrested for I gambling?’' “Never have >een yet." that are not white. The colored races are beginning to revolt, and the sceptre ot domination Is passing both from the white race as a whole and from that part of it which has been in peculiar posses sion of it. This threat lias been re sisted with as much energy ns has been the case with tiie passing of eveyr order. The vocabulary of sci ence has been appropriated and its methods prostituted to prove what men want to prove namely, their moral rights to keep what they want to keep.” (The above excerpt so accurately' phrases our instinctive distrust of “Nordic Superiority” that we are going to try to get the book and see if it is sane as the clipping above sounds.) Th- Troubles of a Book Reviewer John V. A. Weaver, erstwhile critic of the BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE and also “Mr." Peggy Wood, in an amusing article in the February Vanity Fair tells why he gave up his job on the paper. “Oh, that catch word, ‘the per sonal touch!’ To analyze a book from a cool impartial critical stand point and then express my views In style of 'brilliant informality.’ To be bright without being flippant; smart without being smart alee. How many hours of agony have 1 spent In painfully wading through Harold Bell Wright or Zane Grey, determined to conquer my convic tion that their novels *r» mor* or less tripe, seeking In them that something which assures them de votees by tho million; endeavoring vainly to say a good word about them which might remove from my own conscience the uricninfortabl* suspicion of being a ’literary snob.' “And on the other hsr.d, when confronted with the deep rhythms, the great tenderness of a inr. like Conrad, to wrestle with the longing to instill into that dimly perceived creature, ’the average reader’ some of the life that the Polish writer brought into my own soul. “To be ‘bright’ and yet fair. That was the greatest problem cf all. Many are the struggles I have had with myself to explain at decent length Just Why a certain piece of work was really bad, rather than clench my teeth and dismiss a whole novel with the savage remark. ‘James Oliver Curwood has written another story of the great North west. Why?' . . . "Then, there were the protests from members of the culture-trust who said 1 was an ignoramus be cause I did not like the products of the Dial-Little Review group: and the protests from dear old ladies, who, because I considered Cytherea not a bad piece of work and Ben Hccht a writer of gome Importance, accused me of fortei’ing 'all that is rotten In literature.’ “Of course I do not mean to say that there were no oases In the desert. Even though my life, out side of. the time spent writing and ‘having a good time’ was filled with ! books on the subway, propped against the water-bottle at lunch, in bed, before dosing my eyes, yes. and even books carefully placed in the soap-rack during the ba*u-*-I do not moan that there were not | numerous rewards, quite other than the occasional detection of as; en tertaining or worth-while story." The honorable Toychlo Kagawa says Japan wants only peace and Isn't thinking about war at all. To prove It he shows that Japan has reduced her army. * That doesn’t prove a desire for peace. It only proves Japanese intel ligence. They know that in future - wars, especially wars across the Pacific, armies will play no part. A thousand fliers, with the right kind of poison gas and bombs, will make the biggest army that ever existed ridicu lous.

We cannot use verse that has not been published, and please don’t make your selections too long. Cutting down a poem often destroys much of its meaning.) Mrs. Milton Perry Smith of Sioux City sends in the following poem with a little word of introduction which adds to the interest of the verse. "I picked up this poem in the lit tle thatched cottage, the birthplace of Robert Burns, in Ayr, Scotland, in June, 1922, and I have kept It by me ever since. It may be appro priate to use on the eve of the poet's birthday. ‘‘I admit I was surprised at the authorship—Many thanks to the Tribune for publishing one of Burns’ last poems, which came to light about a year ago, after hav ing been cherished in the family of Jessie Lcv/ars for many genera tions."

It Is cheering to learn that motor car accidents are not wholly products of this age. Because of ths lack of driving skill possessed by pioneer owners, as well as th* Jack of me chanical perfection possessed by ths earliest go-devils, motor car acci dents v.cio then In greater ratio to the uumber of cars in use than they are today. Bead this account of the fir*! accident—and give thanks that progress has been made in mechani cal Invention. "It was an accident,” says the Out-, line of Knowledge (J. A. lUchards, Inc.) “that took tho primitive motor car off the highway and put !t on rails In ISO? ntehard Trsvethick, while speeding along the road at tha frightful speed of ten miles an hour, los! control of his steam carriage and ripped off a number of palings of a fence. That accident speiled tlic doom c f the early motor car. So dangerous a machine was not allowed to run at large. Even as late ns 1863 England still had a law prohibiting any power propelled vehicle to travel over tha highway at a higher speed than four miles an hour, and required further that tho vehicle be preceded by a man carrying a red flag.” jullue Fieischmann, dead on tha polo field at Miami, is another warn ing to men |>aat 45.
