"The place where I was born 66 Here it is this little town on the river-I hardly expected that this map would show it. And here is Edgerton, where I went to the County Fair that time I have told you about. 'It doesn't look far, does it? But it took us a whole day in the carriage, and I came back thinking I had seen the World!" 66 On some RAND MCNALLY Map or Globe, each man can place his finger and say, Here I was born. At one time this little dot was my World." How that boyhood World has grown! Now it embraces great cities, states, rivers-perhaps even oceans and continents-where once it included only streets and houses, or quiet country lanes and farms. However broad or limited a man's experience, he has found one agency before him, providing a faithful picture of the paths he was to choose. In a sense, RAND MCNALLY & COMPANY are the makers of everybody's world. A change in a road or a change in a national boundary-the shifting of a stream's channel or the opening of a new route of world trade-are developments which this organization is equally alert to note and record. It is only by this eternal vigilance in matters small and great that the name RAND MCNALLY has come to be a synonym for Maps. RAND MONALLY & COMPANY Map Headquarters Dept. E-166 passages which would have been thought indecent a few years ago, but its realism in the main is of the higher type. The story makes concrete and visible the con trast between the manners and codes of East and West; and its people are more than commonly clean-cut, as men and women we have really met. . The innocent and sentimental young Briton of "The Passionate Year," by James Hilton, is not a parson, but a schoolmaster. It has always been his ambition to be a master in a public school, and he begins his work at "Millstead" in a mood of extravagant enthusiasm. He loves the school life; and almost at once he falls in love with the head master's daughter. Everything goes for him at first with marvelous smooth ness. Promotion, marriage, are achieve ments of a few months. But between Kenneth and his Helen there exists only a relation of uneasy passion which aspires to be something better. They love, but they do not harmonize. And inevitably the action moves towards release and the opening of new doors. The book has a fresh savor. It leaves behind that sense of indubitable contact with living persons which we carry away from novels like Bennett's "Clayhanger" or Swinnerton's "Nocturne" or Miss Cather's "Lost Lady." "The Passionate Year. By James Hilton. Little, Brown & Co. $2. The New Books BOOKS FOR YOUNG FOLKS HEAVENFOLK. By Waldemar Bonsels. Thomas Seltzer, New York. $2. "Strife is the theme of song," a great Danish poet wrote once; "God's Cherubim alone can sing of heavenly peace." Waldemar Bonsels tries what Oehlen schläger declared impossible-and nearly succeeds. If his success is not complete, this only proves once more to what an extent conflict enters as a vitalizing ele ment in literature. The work of Bonsels has much charm. He puts us nearer to the tiny creatures of meadow and field and forest. But he does not hold us with any irresistible grip. There is too much sweetness and light in his pages, many of which are filled with musings or raptures rather than with stories. An actual relief is felt when he breaks away from his customary note and enters the field of life-giving and life-taking strife, as he does in his description of the duel between Hassan the Hedgehog and Ala the Viper. But, oh, how poor that description is in comparison, for instance, with Kipling's wonderful tale about the fight between the mongoose and the cobra! It is no use to call Kipling bad names because he so dearly loves a fight, "Breakers Ahead!' The lookout calls the warning, and if he calls it in time the ship is saved from wreck and destruction. You may be drifting towards that reef of jeopardy, constitutional disease-such as Bright's, diabetes, etc.-without knowing it, because it gives no outward sign that is visible to the layman's eye. You may need a "scientific lookout" to call "Breakers ahead!" before your health is wrecked by such diseases. That is the function of our service-to be your "lookout," to make a scientific urinalysis at regular periods, to watch out in our laboratory for the "breakers of disease and to warn you in time. This service takes little of your time, costs little of your money, but may save you months of sickness, or worse. Some of the biggest business executives in the country, some of America's brainiest men, have our service as their "lookout." It is a duty to yourself and those dependent on you to investigate which costs you nothing.

The former is a born story-teller, and the latter is not. Many may think the entire comparison unfair, but it is not. Kipling has shown us how it is possible to enter into the life of beasts so that they become real to us. Bonsels much of the time merely talks about them without making us really live their lives, and there is the real difference between those two. This distinction, however, does not preclude the likelihood that many children, whether grown up or not, will enjoy Bonsels's new book as they enjoyed his tale of "Maya, the Bee." The translation by Mrs. Seltzer is good, and Arthur Guiterman's renderings of the lyrics form a particularly attractive feature. SCIENCE RARE, VANISHING AND LOST BRITISH BIRDS. Compiled from Notes by W. H. Hudson by Linda Gardner. E. P. Dutton & Co., New York. $4. We have here brief descriptions of twenty-five species of birds, of which one is wholly extinct, others are entirely lost to Great Britain, and still others are to be found in Great Britain only in very small numbers; and (more important) we have remarks (often of course very bitter) on the circumstances of loss or reduction of numbers. For thirteen of the birds the text is a reprint of a pamphlet written by Hudson in 1894 for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds; for the remainder, the text was compiled from rough and scattered notes left by Hudson. The work of the compiler is well done. There are twenty-five beautiful colored plates to illustrate the text. Despite the brevity of treatment, the book has the true Hudsonian flavor, and all Hudson lovers will wish to own it. ESSAYS AND CRITICISM LATITUDES. By Edwin Muir. B. W. Huebsch, New York. $2. At his best, Mr. Muir is provocative; at his worst, provoking. Between these extremes of merit and demerit he swings with vertiginous rapidity. He forces one to think, but the outcome of one's thinking is not so much approval or disapproval as a regret that he has nothing but new one-sidedness to offer as substitute for the existing one which he decries. In his discernment of this bias on the part of our own time he may be granted prophetic rank of the Jeremianic order. In his prescription of remedies he is frequently, though far from always, like a blind man claiming extraordinary acuteness of vision. He pleads for "psychology in literary criticism" and demands, most properly, that the critic be at once artist, psychologist, and philosopher. But his own appraisements fail constantly in that supremely essential quality of spiritual humility which makes Off the beaten path see something XCLUSIONS sions The Arizona and New Mexico Rockies-a region of scenic surprises-high mountains great pine forests, color ful canyons, interesting Indians-alandand apeople entirely unfamiliar to you Trips by saddle and pack or auto Santa Fe picture-folders tell where and how just mail this Personal Stationery $1.00 200 SHEETS and $ Printed with Your Name and Address Clear, white bond paper, with envelopes to match.

ELITE STATIONERY CO. the true critic first of all seek the symptomatic value of all phenomena observed, whether they relate to life or letters. One moment it is psychoanalysis, or psychoanalytic writers like Anderson, Joyce, or Lawrence, and in the next it is "the Rosicrucians, the Swedenborgians, and their degenerate survivors, the Theosophists," by which he lets himself be goaded into sweeping depreciatory judgments, when one really concerned with the psychology of men and things would rather try to divine what new truths are struggling toward the light through any such movement, however distorted or faddish it may appear in its momentary manifestation. He proclaims Mr. Conrad "the greatest psychologist since Dostoyevsky," and then adds promptly that the author of "Lord Jim," "Heart of Darkness," etc., "sees everything in man except the soul." What he really means by "soul" we never learn, though the term figures repeatedly in most of the articles, reviews, and aphoristic essays composing his new volume. He is more or less against everything modern, and to him this epithet is almost synonymous with democratic. True to his Nietzschean backgrounds, he insists on deriving aristocratic individualism from the spirit of Greece and democratic herdism from Christianity, while at the same time he holds the latter responsible for the "introverted" character of so much current literature. Like all critics of similar temperament, his judgments are largely determined by "past performances, as when he sweeps aside all writers now exploring the unconscious with the dictum that "Dostoyevsky long ago did more wonderful things in that way than will probably ever be done again." He scores Ibsen for uttering such "naïvetés" as "The strongest man is he who stands alone," while himself naïvely declaring that "the fascination of the problem of criticism lies in the fact that it can never be solved." These are some of the inherent contradictions and fallibilities that make Mr. Muir's volume rather good reading. One disagrees so delightfully with him. FO TRAVEL AND DESCRIPTION RED BEAR OR YELLOW DRAGON. By Marguerite E. Harrison. The George H. Doran Company, New York. $3. Without possessing any great claim to the reader's serious attention, Mrs. Harrison's brisk, gossipy chronicle of her tour through Japan, Korea, northern China, and Siberia, and of her involuntary second visit to Soviet Russia, may be read with interest as well as enjoyment. The very limitations of her wholly journalistic attitude increase rather than decrease the value of her observations. As a rule she is content to record what she has seen and heard and experienced, without any attempt at interpretation. Thus the reader is left to draw his own conclusions from facts presented evidently with little, if any, personal bias. Nor are the events recorded very impressive. Frequently they don't get far beyond the commonplace. Yet they help toward a better understanding of the regions traversed, while at the same time they cannot fail to inspire a liking for the remarkably even-tempered and intrepid traveler.
