INC.', Book Review One of the lost arts which I be wail Is that of "reading aloud.” The long winter evenings when we sat In a charmed circle around the fire place and sobbed over the tragedy of Little Nell, or giggled at the Ken wig twins, when I Indignantly re pudiated the suggestion of a scornful older brother, “Aw, she doesn’t know what she's laughing at, she Just laughs ’cause she sees the rest of us laughing”—those are evenings that are veritable treasure chests of memory. Perhaps In no other way in the world can the leisurely 19th century novel of Dickens or Thack eray be so richly enjoyed. When the allotment of two chapters an evening is finished, with long drawn sighs and a shake back into reality, the following 24 hours are enriched by fruitful memory, and by joyful an ticipation of “what comes next"—■ and woe betide the fellow who Is discovered crouched behind the leather sofa, peeking ahead. And then, although personally it Is only a bitter dream, could there be any more delightful way to darn socks than to the accompaniment of a good story rsad aloud by the benl ficiary of your labors? Here, how ever, I fringe upon one of the uni versal wifely disappointments and will leave it thus, as just the most delicate of hints to the sport-page reading sockee. "Glorious Apollo" By E. Barrington (Dodd, Mead and Company, $2.50) This is the story of Lord Byron— glorious Apollo, but, alas, he is so far from glorious, that it would take a greater genius than E. Barrington to create a bridge of understanding between him and the reader. I doubt if even Thackeray who gave us the despicable but completely fascinating Becky Sharpe, could take the charac ter of Lord Byron, in all its perverse abnormality and make it significant. And yet, although in its essential purpose the book is not successful, it does give a most vivid "feel” of the times. You are quite literally trans ported to the early 19th century, and so skillfully is the atmosphere created that there is no such catalog of the old-time equipment, as some times burdens the historical novel. E. Barrington has learned to move about through her England of that period with perfect grace. But as for "Apollo,” I’d tar rather read a simple biographical sketch of his cruel, uncontrolled, perverse character, and enjoy the fruit of his genius, than to have his life em broidered in story book form, such as this, which adds not a bit to one’s understanding of either his life or genius. “Points of Honor” By Thomas Boyd (Charles Sciibner’s Sons, $2.00) In these short stories by Thomas Boyd, the author of "Through the Wheat,” and “The Dark Cloud,” there is as little lurid writing, combined with as much simple power as we have seen In any war stories. Just by way of extreme contrast it re minds us of the fevered bitterness of “Three Soldiers" by Dos Passos. Although the publishers speak of Thomas Boyd as a young man, his outlook Is 100 years more mature than that of Dos Passos. We ran through the book In the attempt to Insomnia. From Everybody’s Magaine. A widow who prided herself on her housekeeping recently moved to the city and started a boarding-house. She mopped and dusted and swept from cellar to attic and the house was spotless. As one of her new boarders came down to breakfast she greeted him cheerfully: “I hope you slept well last night?” “No,” replied the man, ‘T didn't rest so very well. I was troubled with ln». somnia.” The landlady bristled with righteous wrath. “Never!” she exclaimed. “I’ll give you $10 for every one of those pesky things you find in my house.” ( Married? i-lA>iv^:oKrr> . ■ Kay Hammond, actress, says George Barnes, actor, is her husband.

We only hope that the reading public has swung away from the dread of "war stories” and will read these stories with the mature appreciation which they deserve. They are most excel lent antidotes to war hysteria. “Under the Levee” By E. Earl Sparling (Charles Scribner’s Sons, $2.00) “At the Yellow Stripe they guf faw over the tala ®f hooknosed Ratty Pete, the fat Cuban Rose and a drunken Greaser" thus starts one of the stories In this group of tales of the New Orleans waterfront. They are sheer melodrama, colorful, rac ing and absorbing, and as such are wonderfully well done. Perhaps a little less of sudden pistol shots, and creeping horror, might add to the artistry of the whole, but when the names that occur to you as earlier exponents of the art which Mr. Sparling employs are Kipling, and O. Henry and you find yourself quite seriously considering hhn in such a company, you realize that a writer of real talent has been discovered. TODAY BY ARTHUR BRISBANE. Wall street sold more than a mil lion and a half shares of stock yes terday and brokers, homeward wending their weary way shortly af ter 3 p. m., had watched stocks crawling up to new high prices, led by the industrial shares, with money “easy,” if you wanted it for specu lation. Keep out of stock gambling, It That Strong, Silent Man, From tlie Detroit News. "I have always found," says Prime Minister Baldwin, ‘t’hat pipe smok ers have wisdom, a calmness and breadth of vision denied to others." Well, as regards calmness, there Is our Air. Dawes. A survey of higher education in Ten nessee was recently made under the direction of the federal commissioner of education. A report of the survey was made at a meeting of the Tennes see College association recently held at Carson and Newman college, Jefferson City. Dr. George F. Zook, specialist In higher education of the bureau of ed ucation, waa chairman of the survey commission will ruin anybody. But, "Whatever you do, don't be foolish enough to sell any genuine enterprises in this country short. If you own any stock that represents real value, keep it. It has been suggested here occa sionally, during the past 10 years, that architects should have their minds on landing roofs for flying machires. Now Chicago, about to build a $15,000,000 post office, will ask congress to approve a building, two city blocks long, with a landing roof for the flying mail. That would cut an hour off the mail flight from Chicago to New York. New York in time will imitate Chicago and hava a post office landing here. Not far In the future will come the new city, one building devoted to one single business, with a landing roof for buyers and sellers, and employes flying to work in the morning and flying back at night. The great "congested traffic prob lem” may be solved from the roof before it is solved in the streets. However, don’t let that discour age you about good real estate. A woman leader of the W. C. T. IT., In Iowa, Mrs. Myrtle Cook, who in terfered with the plans of the boot leggers, was shot dead as she sat ,at the window of her house. She was buried with Ku Klux cere monies. pallbearers robed and masked, and the Ku Klux clergyman laying the murder to the bootleggers in a red hot Ku Klux sermon. The public would like to know whether it was a bootleg murder or an anti-Klu Klux murder, and that seems still uncertain. If you would like a pet bison, yc’J can get one from the government. Too many of the big animals are In Yellowstone park, so 100 of them are offered free to citizens who will pay the cost of catching and expressing. The government has proved that the “dying bison’’ can be brought back to life. Terbaps the government will do as much for the dying and vanishing forests, much more im portant than the picturesque bison. Bison meat is not as good as that of the ox. and the automobile re placing the sleigh, has destroyed the demand for buffalo robes. Coal dealers In the middle west propose to sell you enough heat for your house, instead of selling coal and letting you attend to the heating. The coal company will look after the furnace, or supply steam through pipes under the street. You pay so much a year for heat as you pay for water. This is common sense. The warden of Sing Sing issued statistics on "crime.” The majority of criminals don’t drink liqaor. More are single than married. More than half had a Job when they got into trouble through crime. Four out of five confessed their guilt to escape a trial. White prisoners outnum bered colored prisoners five to one and three out of five admitted to the big prison this year went to Jail for the first time. Next week a flying mnehlne with j regular '‘diners” of the Pullman type, 1 equipped with electrically operated buffet, begins flying from London to Paris. And later, a sleeping car with berths, and a nearly noiseless engine, will carry passengers from Paris to Constantinople. The first plans for flying sleepers were made In this country, by order of President Carry, of the Pullman Car company. Those sleeping cars will wait probably for somebody to establish American flying lines Even the Turks, recently despised j of all nations and now defying the ' whole of Europe, set an example to j Pncle Sam. They are developing a i flying navy, and they hire men that understand flying, not stock broker^ to attend to the Job. Fish Day. From Everybody’s Magazine. Chinese Consul Mojr Back Him said at I a dinner in Portland) ”It is a great mistake to accuse the ! Chinese of a lack of wit. A tramp knocked at the kitchen door of a Port land home one day, and a smiling Chi naman appeared. ■' 'Ray John,' croaked the tramp, 'give > me a hand-out, for the love o’ Mike, j will yer? S'elp me.

Permanent roads are a good investment ■—not an expense How Much Are Poor Roads Costing You? 5,000,000 of America’s 18,000,000 motor vehi cles are recognized as an economic necessity on the farm. Is your car giving the full efficiency of which •t is capable—and at the lowest cost per mile possible? Not if you are jolting over bumpo and ruts. Not if you get stuck in the mud. In addition to the time you thus lose along the way, you also pay from one to four cents a mile more in gasoline, tire and repair bills than you would pay on permanently paved highways. Think, too, how many so-called improved roads have gone to pieces within the past few’ ' years, thereby piling up huge maintenance and rebuilding costs. Contrast all this with the record of Concrete Roads—the roads that have repair built out and maintenance built in. Firm, rigid and unyielding, free of bumps, ruts, holes, mud and dust, they are, in every way, the most economical roads. Tell your highway officials you want more Concrete Roads.
