J t ! Consider the Criminal as Seen ltv the Detecti\es •'THE CRIMINAL AS A Hr MAH BE INO." by Georg* S. Dougherty; 1». Ap pleton A- C'n . Ne w York, publishers. 9 KEYS to CROOK DOM." by Georg* C Hen-lemon: I* Appleton A Co. New York, publ inhere. Two eminent detectives prove that It 1m not essential to set it thief to <atvh a thief. What is needed is a jnari who is shrewd, resourceful and courageous. Possessed of an honest mind and a sympathetic heart. Who can gain the confidence of tin* crimi nal, and hold it, even after the criminal has found out the identity of the man who brought him to jus tice. George S. Dougherty, who Is knoWn to game as one of New York's ef ficient police commissioners, rose to his eminence as a detective. He recites personal experiences to prove his point that the criminal has a great deal more of the human in him than Js generally understood. It is just V the quirk of the mind that sends him f wrong, and that same twist that later betrays him to the law. George C\ Henderson, also a de tective of wide experience, tells how the crooks work. How they plan and carry out their assaults on so ciety. Many of the games he ex poses are simple, some are very elaborate and call for careful and skilled stage management. It is plain enough after one knows how it Is done. The volumes together are worth much to the student of crlminaology, and are of a sort that cv ill be Interesting to any reader. | Burns Mantle Picks llis Fifth Crop of Best Plays “THE BEST PLAYS OP 1»!S-1924; AND THE YEAR BOOK OP THE DRAMA IN AMERICA.'' by Burns Mantle; Small, Maynard A Co,, Boston, pub. Ushers. Burns Mantle Is a critic' of sea soned judgment and ripe experience. Bis judgment of a play, therefore, is a safe guide for the common rim of theatergoers. Be not only presents the play of his choice, but gives a good reason for making that choice. Mr. Mantle himself reviews the sea son In New York, and Mr. Frederick Bonaghey does similar service for the Chicago season. These reviews are prefatory to the actual selection of the plays that get honorable men tion. An interesting chapter on “The X.lttle Theaters’’ is contributed by "Walter Bartwig. director of the I.lt ^ ADVERTISEMENT. Dandruffy Heads Become Hairless ff you want plenty of thick, beau tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ,mpn ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at . 5 Right when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.

You will find, too, that all itching , and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a » hundred times better. You can get . liquid arvon at any drug store. Four ounces is all you will need no matter how much dandruff you have. This limpie remedy never fails. You Cannot Afford To Be Gray This is the Day of Youth.

Herman Bernstein Tells of Notables He Has Interviewed "CELEBRITIES OP Ol H TIMES." by Herman Bernstein: Joseph La wren, 220 West Forty-second street, New York, publisher. During the last ^15 years Herman Bernstein, as correspondent tor one or another New Turk newspayter, traveled thousands of miles back and forth across Europe apd Asia, lie visited all the capitals, was present at Important conferences, and met and talked with the big and the little, the great and the near great. In tills volume he gives his personal impres sion of the men who have made his tory within the last few years. His style is charming, and he sets down his impressions and gives his experiences in a way that will hold attention. Beginning with Deo Tol stoy, and Sergius Witte, long before the war, he tells also of his visits with Elie MetchnikofT, and so on with a long list of others it is good to get acquainted with through the eyes of so experienced an observer. Natural ly, most of these are Europeans or Asiatics, but Woodrow Wilson and 1 tyeodore iioosevelt are among the group Mr. Bernstein met and now writes about. His book is a valuable addition to any historical collection, as well as of deep Interest to the average reader. Basil King Treats of the Bible From Layman's View “THK BIBLE AND COMMON SENSE" by Basil King; Harper &. Brothers, New York, publishers. AA'hen one so well established as a writer of fiction as is Basil King, takes u|> the Bible for a critical re view, it Is a fair challenge to the in terest of the reader. Vet this book Is one in which honest people of every communion, groping their way through tlie storms of controversy, will find fresh light to guide them. Mr. King s' point of view is not that of any single church or sect, yet it has much in common with all. He tells clearly and eloquently what the Bible means to him as an individual and why to him it Is an inspired book, the greatest book in the world. Frank ly and fearlessly, he discjjsses such topics as the virgin birth, the di vinity of Christ and the effect of scientific criticism on the influence of the Bible. AVhere he feels that the churches fall to make the most of their op portunlties, where he feels that they have surrounded the teachings of Christ with more dogma than he finds need for, lie says so boldly. Yet his tone is not critical; it Is always sym pathetic, alwayjj constructive, always re verent. Prof. E. A. Ross Points Out Way to Peace on Earth "ROADS To SOCJAI, PEACE " by Ed ward Aylaworth Rorr. J’h. 1).. LI,. J> . the I nivernttv of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, X. C., publishers. This most recent book is also ono of the more valuable of the output from this thrifty university press. It is also one of Dr. Ross' most inter esting contributions to the discussion of modern problems. Written with the delightful direct ness characteristic of all of Professor Ross’ books, “Roads to Social Peace" possesses peculiar interest and tim«v liness incident to the passage of dras tic immigration legislation, the resent ment of large groups against the ex isting order as evidenced by the set ting up of new political parties, and the growth of legislative blocs, the heightened controversy between fun damentalists and modernists and the hitter conflict waged over the Ku Klux Klan.

I-'ram left to right they are: Dorothy Kotzler, cornet; Maliel Moran, drum; Mary Vrtay Jones, violin; Marjorie Schobel, piano, and Maja Herrmann, cello. “I wonder.” began the city editor, as he twirled the extremities of Ids meticulously waxed mustachio, “I wonder what a restaurant orchestra thinks about.” The suddenly be ceased to be the dreamer and straightway became tin man of action that he is. He turned sharply about in Ills overstuffed of fice chair and his eye lit upon an in conspicuous reporter it ever an eye did light on one. “Find out,” lit* snapped. That was all. Just "find out.” In structions no more specific than those obtained more than a quarter of a( century ago by a young lieutenant named Rowan, who was direc ted sim ply to carry a message to Garcia. The superb cratsrnanship of the late Klbert Hubbard placed Rowan on the list right behind Abou Ben Adam among the immortals; but Hubbard has passed on to his reward and there is none but the reporter himself to toot his own saxophone in telling how he found out what an orchestra in a dining room thinks about. Orchestras, and Orchestras. There are orchestras, and then there are orchestras. The reporter has a leaning towards pulchritude among those of tlie elusive sex, and being single makes no bones about it. He had, on days when his inclinations and his pocket book jibed, lunched at the lintel Fontenelle where the Merry Musical Maids do their stuff. Now these Merry Musical Maids have their moments, many moments in fact, and they are as attractive as they are musical. A pleasing Innova tion of their repertoire is the way they sing popular melodies while they play. Ret them step up, one by one, and be introduced; Marjorie Schnbel, pianist and so prano, of McCook, Neli., musical di rector of the Merry Musical Maids. Mabel Moran, drums and what not, and contralto to boot, of Dayton, o business manager. Mary Wry Jones, violinist and mez zo soprano, of Richmond, I'nd . who was running around in pigtails and short dresses years after the reporter had oast bis first vote. Dorothy Rotzler. cornetist and mez zo soprano and possessor of dark eyes like limpid music, of Freeport, III. Maja Herrmann, cellist and con tralto, a native of Heilbroun, Wur temberg, and a member of a distin guished family of musicians. Says Katers' Symphony “Bosh.’* Miss Moran immediately dispelled a : great illusion, an illusion fostered by hundreds of cartoonists and sophisti cated columnists, that the soup eat era' symphony always Interferes with the more expressive strains of Mocart. Brahms and Irving Berlin. “I have never heard a diner eating his soup.” she explained patiently, “although I have observed them care fully, hoping to listen in on that phenomenon.” In reply tp numerous other ques tions,* popped at her with more rapid ity, perhaps, than intelligence, Miss Moran said; “The people we play to during their meals seem to appreciate all kinds of music—popular, standard and classi cal. We try to use judgment in our selections, which we vary. At the beginning of a dinner or luncheon, the n.verage person prefers something light and airy. He does not want his overtures until coffee and dessert. ”\Vo have learned that selections from musical comedies, such as 'Wlldflower,' hit a happy 1 •••ponsive note. Blended With Meal. "It is our aim not to detrai-t from the enjoyment of -eating, but to in crease that enjoyment. An orches tra in a restaurant should he blend cd with the dinner, as are the dif ferent courses. We like the Inter c'st displayed in our numbers by the i hotel guests, and their criticism Is generally sound. One gc of* man, however, sends us messages every few days to tin* effect that we should play nothing but j:tv,/. as it helps Ids digestion.” Miss Jones, the violinist, who Is still in her teens, vtas asked where music* with totals originated and when. Hln* scratched her bead in meditation and praver before reply ing. “That Is almost beyond rny ken,” siid she. "but 1 don't believe? it was the custom until centuries after Pythagoras brought stability to the diatonic scale. That was in the i\th renturv. B.

One reads of musicians playing at the feasts and orgies of tlie Roman conquerors, but I believe the practice of music with meals was not generally indulged in until the lilth century.” Cornetlftt Differs. Miss Roizler laid down her cornet long enough to dispute tilts. ”1 am confident that music went with tlie consumption of food in the preharmonic era of ancient Greece.” Miss Schobel drummed a few notes of Mendelssohn's wedding inarch, no ono knew why, as she putj in her oar for Miss Rotzler. She said: ”1 ajree thoroughly, for is it not universally known that Wagner himself was a revivalist of Greek tragedy, and if that is so, why shouldn't tlie Athenians have had melody with their bananas and cream as well as with their extra ordinary melodramas?” Master’s Daughter Silent. Miss Jlerrmann did not take part in the discussion, which was over the head of the bald representative of the press whose musical prowess is limited to the phonograph and the hand organ.* The cellist is the daughter of an ofc master of the violin, Hugo Herrmann, who is still living in Germany. He was of the school of Rubinstein, a personal friend of I.lszt, Brahms, Schumann and Rossini, and, at 81, is the sole survivor. Miss Herrmann played as a child with Miseha Klman ami Franz V’cscey and received an ex cellent musical education abroad, .She has two brothers with the Cin cinnati symphony orchestra, one as concert master and the other as sec ond cello. "Well, as a final analysis and with apologies to Claire Briggs, what do the members of your orchestra think about?" rwas the reporter's parting shout. In unison, the answer was: "We think our Omaha audiences are adorable, considerate and intelli gent. They do not inhale their soup, nor struggle over spaghetti. We love them." ■' '■ ■' ———-— . . -— ■——l $1,000 for You If you want $1,000 you can get it by saving only 25 cents a clay for 12‘i months, and at the same time assure a like amount being paid to your heirs in addition to your savings should you not live to attain your goal.
