Volumes.
"THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED

"THE PROFESSION OF ARMS." by El

flew York, publishers.
A time for understanding the rela
tions of the army to the general wel
fare of the republic has come, and
Its need Is met by two very depend
able volumes, each written with
great care by a man who can deal
with the topic sympathetically as well
ss authoritatively. Especially will
perusal of Major r.anoe's volume re
pay the effort of anyone. Those
who tremble at. the suggestion of
militarism might he impressed with
the great service the army of the
United States has performed, in peace
as well as in war. Those who regard
the army as a necessary evil will be
edified to learn that It has really
been a blessing, and had quietly done
its work, often under the most
humiliating of handicaps imposed by
"civilian authority. For the majority,
who realize the beqefits that have
com# to the country through the
t ^patriotic, unselfish efforts of the pro
" fessional soldiers, the volume will
provide reading of deep interest and
information of genuine value.
Began With Washington.
Major Oanoe starts at the blith of
the army, when George Washington
drew his sword and assumed com
mand of the “army” of the colonies.
Here he refers in passing to the little
known fact that Washington was
chosen for the place because he was
not known to hold "opinions" ob
noxious to the politicians who made
up the congress. It was because of
his negative rather than his positive
virtues that Washington was given
th» place. How he was harrassed by
congress, hampered by the utter lark
of either discipline or dignity among
his forces; the inadequacy of equip
ment and supplies; the stupidity and
neglect of those who held high place
in the counsels of the dawning revo
lution; the indifference of the citizens,
who lived well while the army starved;
all this is briefly but vividly set
forth, a splendid background against
which to throw the picture of the
army as it came into existence.
Major Ganoe's narrative style car
ries the reader along in a manner
almost like that of fiction. It is au
thentic history, possessing the finest
qualities of entertainment. On* can
see on almost every page a faithful
picture of the nation's development
and a side of our history which has
r.o ,]koo long been tucked away in obscur
ity. For example, General Winfield
Scott, it is shown, saved the country
from war three times, single-handed.
The construction of the Union Pa
cific was due to the army and army
• raining. The Indian fights, the re
construction troubles, the conquest of
Florida all are set down with vivid
realism. It Is a human story, every
page of it. Among the interesting
features are; a chronological account
of the soldier’s life during the revo
lution: the truth coneerning- Von <
Steuben; what the soldier did and did
not do in 1S12; what the soldier's
peace-time life is like—his work as
i builder: a new view of the civil war;
chronological record of Indian wars,
tic.
Duties of the Army.
Captain Colby’s book affords a vivid
picture of the army, Its motives, its
work, its sacrifices and satisfactions.
Full information is included descrip
tive of the duties and activities of the
various combatant branches, and the
•■hapters truly reflect the typical
sentiments and the characteristic
traditions of those who follow the
profession of arms.
Captain Colby opens the volume
with a general description of the
arrny and the profession of arms, teli
»ng of the military policy of the
^United States under the national de
fense act of 1920, of the qualifications
for a good officer, the means of ob
taining a commission in the army,
th'e reserve corps, the training and
4ut!es of an officer. One chapter
forms a description of what the mnd
*rn battle is from the point of view
sf coordination and control. Eight
lhaptera cover the duties of all the
eombatant branches of the service in
‘peace and war. The final chapter is
an Inspiring expression of the satis
faction to be derived from work in the
public service and frem military serv
ice in particular.

ABE MARTIN On Women in Business
- ___. j
When we look about an see what
a figure women are cuttin in th’ af
fairs o’ th’ country t'day we kin
hardly realize how enslaved they wuz
a few years ago. Mixin' in politics,
smokin’, ahafln’ alike with men in
business, excellin' as circus perform
ers, pickin' off an’ chuckin’ husbands
at will, an’ dressin’ any way they
please, women of affairs seem t’ be
here t’ stay, an' even th’ most opti
they've been th' inspiration that has
goaded many a bass singer int'
amountln t’ eomethin.' They've
shoved men ahead p'Utically an
they've helped clerks in' bookkeepers
t' own their own homes. They've put
men's noses t' grindstones an' made
good, quiet, ploddin' citizens of them.
Women have alius been in business in
a hidden sort o' way. O’ course
tjtty've busted up a lot o' men, but
that’s neither here nor there. Worn
so. but Its too late now We’ve never
knowed a woman t’ be left with five
children that didn' git f th’ front
an’ put 'em all on a good payin'
basis, an’ we've never seen a hus
band that wuj left with a child or
two that didn' whine around till his
relatives come t' his rescue. Wom
en are no longer looked on as agen
cies t' keep th’ country’s population
on th' hop, but as keen competitors
o' men in business, political an' social
mistie must realize that they consti
tute a force that sooner or later must
be reckoned with. But women have
alius been more or less silent part
ners o' men. we won't exactly say
silent, but they're more often than
not been th' power behind th’ throne.
They've made more self-made men
than most any other agency, an'
they've made more home made "light
wine" than all th' llunyaks put
t’gether. Women have alius spurred
loafers an' no accounts on t' better
things. They’ve loaded husbands
down with children an’ made ’em
hustle. They've had husbands ar

Serious Subjects Treated iu
Chatty Faehion by Doctor
"THE COMMON 3EN8E OF HEALTH.’
by 8lanley M. Rinehart. M. D.; George
H. Dcran company, New York, pub
lishers.
Dr. Rinehart, who is not so well
known to the reading public as is his
gifted wife, Mary Roberts Rinehart,
still has such control of expression
an makes his pages interesting, even
when he is most e-riously treating
his subject. In this work, in a de
lightfully conversational fashion, he
gives latest information about the
mind and body, and in so clear man
ner that his meaning is never mis
taken. It is just as good as a long
private chat with your family physi
cian. and tells many things you
might not find out that way.
"TOUR BUSINESS AND MINE." by John
I. .Stafford. (Dormncf A? i 'o , Phila

The householder of today evinces
a greater interest in economic and
social studies than ever before. The
author, through personal application,
has equipped himself for the task of
presenting to the public this careful
study which is an education In itself.
It Is designed especially for the aver
age voter and average citizen, and
will open his eyes to many things
which could be bettered by his intelli
gent observation.

"POLLYANNA OF TIIE ORANOK BLOS

Cumjmny, Boston, Maas , publishers.
We all welcome a story that will
give us further acquaintance with the
happy and glad Pollyanna.
Now we have her as Jimmy Pen
dleton's bride and even If considerably
older she is still the sweetly lovable
character She and Jimmy have
such good times together in the first
days of hoii“ekeep|ng and Pollyanna
finds to many things to be glad about
in this new experience. Such funny
situations come to them in a faraway
city but Pollyanna meets all incl
dents with her beautiful philosophy.
How wonderful the world would be if
everyone would acquire Pollyanna'
gladness for there is always some
thing to be glad about, isn't, there,
when you come to think of It!
This is the third of the (Had Book

Tenth Woman,” is illustrative of her
method of writing a yarn. This book
is offered by Doubleday Page Co.,
and there Is little wonder that it was
recently filmed for the movie screen.
Rose-Ann Trevall Is the heroine of
the story and Is “The Tenth Woman,”
because she does not follow where
nine other women would go, instinc
tively or otherwise. Rose was born
with a horror of anyone dominating
her. She Inherited tendencies from a
grim ancestor, “Everyone wants to
stretch hla muscles and grow up to
the best that is In him,” she said.
Our heroine marries William Bain

she informs her husband. And she
ivers that a woman does not love a
bit of the master In her husband,
'but a woman cannot follow unless
her husband Is master." She then

"The Interpleader," by Dr. Lewis
B Sawyer (Franklin Hudson, Kansas

matters *hat perplex and annoy mod
ern thinkers. It touches on Modern
ism, Fundamentalism, Inspirational
ism, all in a way to clarify many of
the doubts and uncertainties that
bother everyday people. Dr. Lewis
has sought to prepare a guide book
to the llible, to be helpful and not

for thought and surely his work
should lie helpful to the earnest
seeker after truth.

Euan Fitzroy, are motivated by a
common object—a woman. Her name
Is Llzbotli and ahe has red-gold hair.

grotesque egotism, believed himself
invulnerable. He married Llsbeth

Euan loves Llabeth. Alins Wylie has
