AMERICAN DEMOCRACY VS. PRU8
81 AN MARXISM. By Clarence. F.
niriiscye. Fleming II. Revell Company.
The author, a well known New
' York jurist, forcibly contends that
we shall soon be forced to make a
choice between the American forms
of government and socialism as pro
pounded by Karl Marx. He pro
ceeds to show that Marxian social-
ism is nothing more than Prussian
autocracy, while American ideals
and forms of national control are
purposive and truly interpretative of
government for the people. He also
reviews the history of American
government, shows where errors
have been made in the past and
points the way to a larger realiza
tion of American ideals.
L1UHTNI.N". By Frank Bacon. Harper
& Bros.
Frank Bacon, creator of Light
pin', the best-loved stage figure of
a generation, has put the story of
the play into a novel without losing
a bit of old Lightnin's charm. The
story of Lightnin' Bill and his wife
and their boarding house on the
state line between California and
'Nevadathe Nevada side for di
vorcees! has already taken the
country by storm with its mingled
pathos and humor, and the novel
will reinforce its hold upon Ameri
can hearts. . .
IN TH!i SHADOW Of T.ANTERN
STR'OET. By Herbert G. Woodworth.
KniHll, Maynard & Co.
"East is East and West is West."
This is the fundamental thesis of
tli is striking novel which begins in
the Orient and ends in America.
The complications which a Chinese
viewpoint bring into a dramatic
love story afford a strong realiza
tion of the difference between the
ideas of the east and west. There
are striking scenes, dramatic situa
tions, and ideas which make this
story an unusual combination of the
novel f drama and of intellect.

By Tailriao Colum. MacMillan Company.
A fairy-tale with the mist appeal
ing of all heroines Cinderella, here

story Mr. Colum has used some of
the hundred variants of this delight
ful tale. Ye his story is a new crea
tion. And he has invested it with
quaintness, a lyric beauty and the
glamour of childhood.

Daughters of American
Revolution to Help
Restore Village.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution will help rebuild Tille
loy, a, French village, according to
Mrs. R. A. Finley, publicity chair
man of the Omaha chapter. At the
beginning of the world war it was
the desire of this patriotic body of
women to do their utmost to serve
the nation and to do honor to their
historic society. It was decided by
the national congress of the D. A. R.
that they should become respon
sible for $10,000 in Liberty bonds
and also thatithey should undertake
some work of reconstruction in
France. The suggestion was made,
by Baroness de la Grange, an Amer-
'ican woman, that the D. A. R. might
undertake, as their specific work, the
rebuilding of a French village.
She spoke of Tilleloy as being a
very old and interesting village, and
a very beautiful one, containing
among other attractions an old and
historic church, the village at that
time being only partially destroyed
by the Germans, so that the funds
available by the D. A. R. would
probably be sufficient to restore it.
This suggestion ws eagerly ac
cepted, but by the time the funds
were voted and secured, $52,000 for
this purpose, a year had passed, and,
in the meantime, the German army
had revisited Tilleloy and left it a
complete ruin.
The amount available, not being
sufficient for complete restoration
and negotiations being almost im
possible at this distance, a visit was
made to France by Mrs. Thacher
Guernsey, the present president gen
eral, to ascertain if possible how
best to devote this fund to accom
plish the purpose desired. After
many eVisits to the village, and much
consultation with officials both in
Paris and in the village itself, and
with architects, engineers, etc., it
was decided that the $52,000 avail-
. able would best be devoted to the
installing of a water system which,
by the way, none of the French
rural villages had ever had. and that
there would also be enough to build
a community house for social gath
ings, recreation rooms, etc, for the
use of the -villagers. There is also
to be an ornamental public foun
tain, where animals may drink,
marked with a tablet, with the name
of the donors.
The fund raised for this purpose
. was placed in trust In one of the
Paris banks, to be'administered by
the Urgent Help society, a govern
mert agency tinder the supervision
of Madame de la Grange js trustee.
tieth century. The heroine of the
story is Constance Hopkins, who
is the ministering angel of the
colony during the terrible first win
ters. Colder than New England
frost is her stepmother and darker
than winter nights was the mood
of her father and brother, between
whom a quarrel had arisen. How
she wins over her stepmother and
reconciles the men makes a stimu
lating story of a girl's courage.
THH SPIRIT OP 8EI.ECTIVB SERVICE.
By Major-Oeneral E. H. Crowder. Cen
tury Company.
A study of the various foreign
systems of compulsory military
training, a history of the organiza
tion of our own system of selective
service, a detailed account of the
operation and achievements of our
system during the world war and a
description of how this theory of
selective service can be applied to
peace-time activities of nation-wide
scope and supreme importance.
Urge National Aid
For Educational
Legislation
National aid for education through
legislation will be presented at the
biennial convention of the General
Federation of Woman's Clubs to be
held in Des Moines the third week
in June. Hon. Horace M. Towner,
congressman from Iowa, and one of
the authors of the Smith-Towner
educational bill will be the speaker
at its special session on education
on June 21. The main education
conference follows in the afternoon
of the same day. Mrs. O. Shepard
Barnum, chairman of the depart
ment; Jane Addams, Dr. Caroline
Hedger, Philander P. Claxton,
United States commissioner of edu
cation, andC P. Cary, head of the
Wisconsin board of education, will
speak at the main conference. At
the supplemental conference, Presi
dent Jessup of the Iowa State uni
versity will be the leading speaker.
Mrs. Frank Gibson of California
will take a leading part in relation
to Americanization plans at the
conference.
A beautiful American heiress with
a fortune of more than $1,000,000 is
said to have crossed the Atlantic
with the intention of capturing
Georges Carpentier as a husband,
but she was powerless against the
bewitching blue eyes, natural
charms and accomplishments of
Georgette Elsasser, the little French
girl, who became the bride of the
famous pugilist.
The national council of Danish
women comprises 35 associations,
with a membership of about 40,000.
Study Is Vital
Miss Helen Taft in a speech re
cently at a luncheon given in her
honor iu San Francisco talked to the
guests on their participation in pol
itics. "Interest in the elections at the
time they are held," she said,
"should be supplemented by con
stant study of vital issues, keeping
track of the details of city, state
and national politics to afford an
intelligent preparation for the ac
tual casting of a vote.
"We have nothing to gain by
criticising the men, there will be
time enough to do that when women
get into the depth of politics and
understand their workings. Ameri
can women, unlike their English sis
ters have not been greatly inter
ested in politics and we still have
much to learn. For that reason, if
no other, women should make a
decided stand for women represen
tatives in every legislative body in
the country, that tbey may have
perfect political equality."
Closets.
How to utilize the shallow closet
in the apartment to the best advan
tage is an ever-present problem
with the housewife ' of today. A
simple solution to the problem can
be worked out with picture wire and
two nails or hooks. Eyelet screws
are preferable. Insert one just in
side the jamb of the door and the
other directly opposite on the closet
wall. These should be high enough
to let the clothes fall free of the
ffbor, for the hangers are hooked
over the wire, which is stretched
taut between the two hooks across
the depth of the closet.
Jewett has the distinction of be
ing the first municipality of Texas
to turn its city government over to
women. In the recent election wo
men were chosen to fill practically
all the city offices, including the
mayoralty.
When Dr. Sidney Wilcox, a noted
surgeon, was stricken with heart
trouble and died in the operating
room, Dr. Lillian Morgan completed
the operation with so much skill that
the patient is now on the road to
recovery! 1
