front. But they do; and he is too timid to resign! He is in command of a small section of trench, is cut off at each side, knows that to retreat is to die, sticks it out through fear-and gets great glory, medals, and promotion. But later in the war his soul is searched by the strange life he leads in No Man's Land, where deserters of all armies hide like beasts in deserted dugouts. When he gets back to England, he has lost all his self-assurance. He finds that a high-minded simple girl still loves him, and he becomes a straight man of honest purpose and modest nature. There is gen uine imagination here; we believe Mr. Elton has a future in literature.

SUSAN SHANE. By Roger Burlingame. $2. Scribner's Sons, New York. Susan Shane is the female type of the great American go-getter. The story of her life is the slow progress of a woman against great odds. A miserable childhood spent on an impoverished farm, nursing her ailing mother, indigent father, and squalling, dirty brother and sister, fills her with a passion for money, which, contrary to belief, seems to Susan the antidote for all evil. At eleven the egg money fails to satisfy her, and she is planning to have a shop and sell the same ice-cream on daintier plates for five cents more than any one else in town. Bernard Moore, one of the wealthy summer residents of Glenvil, recognizes in the child, then peddling her own home-made pastries, the inherent qualities of success, and lends her the money to start a shop.

On an adjacent farm lives young David Cord. He is a potential sculptor. The love affair between Davie and Sue is a sickly thing of long standing. Recognizing even then the great snare set to trap the feet of the business woman, Susan prays passionately, "Mother of God, hear me swear from now thenceforward to let no weakness, no love of man, nothing of any kind at all, interfere with my life and my business and my great success. Ave Maria, ora pro nobis! Amen." Many things do interfere momentarily with the success of her several stores, but her dream of having a restaurant in New York with "Susan Shane" in gilt letters on the door comes true. Hard-boiled Susan overcomes the weakness of her love for David, and the end is marriage with Bernard Moore, who can give her her youth's desire-"a full-length mirror, a dressing-table covered with silver, silk to wear, and expensive perfumes." The author has painstakingly developed a vivid, if unsympathetic, personality. The steps in her career have a mechanical sureness. Susan herself is a humorless exponent of efficiency.

The first complete Set of Roosevelt ever sold for less

people eagerly paid $240 for the Memorial Edition of Roosevelt. The first complete edition, it was limited to 1000 sets. Thousands more clamored for it, even at $10 a volume.

But now, through a remarkable combina

tion of circumstances, comes the beautiful National Edition, endorsed by the Roosevelt Memorial Association, and priced within the reach of all!

The Man who could not be Dull Twenty handsome volumes crammed with life and interest-anecdotes about noted people-Roosevelt's famous letters to his children-frontier history that reads like fiction -his own amazing life story-hero tales for boys-brilliant essays-inside stories of political strategy, of international intrigue, books on outdoor life and nature lore. There is not a member, old or young, of any family but will enjoy some of the many books he wrote.

Dignity of office never cramped Roosevelt's hand or thought when he sat down to write. His pen struck the fire that made him the idol of half the world. You chuckle as he keeps statesmen waiting to chat with cowboy friends-you marvel as he plunges into the trackless jungles of Brazil-you admire him as he turns from the cares of state for a pillow-fight with his children. And through each volume run Roosevelt's flashing phrases, his ready, human touch, his boyish humor. Every home should own Roosevelt You are astonished by the brilliant essays so far ahead of their day that they give the key to many of our present problems. But you do not truly know Roosevelt, the man, until you read his letters to his children, with his crude drawings-until you see him, as President, stop on his way to church to rescue a kitten from two dogs.

Every home should own Roosevelt. Every school, every organization that stands for good citizenship

should own and treas-

Like the $240 Memorial Edition, it contains prefaces especially written by twentyfive such men as Lord Lee of Fareham, Admiral Sims, Owen Wister, Elihu Root, Albert J. Beveridge, John Grier Hibben-eminent. men who were proud to call him friend.

THE CHARWOMAN'S SHADOW.

are

By Lord Dunsany. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York. $2. This book is "of the stuff that dreams are made on." The story takes place during the Golden Age in Spain, when magic was firmly believed in, and fearfully respected. "As sin increases on earth the need for gold grows greater." With these words the "Lord of the Tower and Rocky Forest" sends his son Ramon Alonzo forth to get gold for the dowry of his sister Mirandola. Ramon comes to the forest hut of a great magician, who promises to teach him the secret of making gold in return for his shadow. Collecting shadows is the sinister passion of this master of the Black Arts. Despite the doleful warnings of the "shadowless charwoman who minded that awful house," Ramon Alonzo gives up his fine, sleek young shadow in exchange for one which the master cuts out of the gloom in the air to fit him. Wherever he goes the false shadow, which will neither shrink nor stretch with the sun, sets the hand of all men against him. The master keeps his locked box of shadows in a dim cobwebby room. Ramon realizes now that he must have back his own and the pitiful charwoman's shadow. He steals in and by "Then he an incantation forces the box. opened the lid of the box a little way and took out a shadow in finger and thumb by the heels, as he had seen the magician hold his." There were limp fluttering shadows of all sorts of folk which he laid on the floor. Ramon falls in love with one of the girl. It shadows, that of a beautiful proves to be the charwoman's own shadow, stolen from her as a young girl. With her shadow back, Anemone's flesh takes on the lines and beauty of the shadow, and the lovers run away from the wood to happiness ever after. Among an increasing number of realistic novels, this illusive fantasy of Lord Dunsany's is a delight to the imagination.

Mount of Olives that he first heard Offenbach. But these very places that Mr. Ferriman knows so well are the ones that we, if we make a pretense of cultivation, should know better. The Sargasso Sea has many fascinating fish, and the Desert of Gobi is rich in ancient eggs, undoubteldy, but a man may step out quite bravely with poets, philosophers, and historians and be quite ignorant of both places. That is not true of Jerusalem or Constantinople, of Smyrna, Alexandria, Prusium in Bithynia, Anatolia, Missolonghi, or Mount Olympus. These and the other places that are so intimate to Mr. Ferriman are the nurseries of our civilization. Perhaps a glimpse of the hills and streams that Bion and Theocritus knew, or it might be the pilgrims at Bethlehem, would be almost as successful at a dinner as fifteen minutes of Elbert Hubbard's Scrapbook.

THE INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION. A Study of Labor and Capital in Cooperation. By Paul Périgord. With an Introduction by Henry M. Robinson. D. Appleton & Co., New York. $3.

This is a thorough study of the organization created by the Versailles Peace Treaty for the consideration of labor problems by representatives of the different nations and peoples. An historical sketch is given of the earlier efforts toward this end, which had their first notable result in the founding (1900) of the International Association for the Legal Protection of Labor, of which our American Association for Labor Legislation was a federated part. The work of the commission which drew up the Constitution of the new body is related in detail; the functions and activities of the organization are described, and a summary of the results is given. A long chapter deals with the criticisms, both from the conservatives and from the revolutionists, that have been leveled at the organization. The failure of the United States to take the part of a full participant in the work, instead of that of a cautious onlooker represented by an official "correspondent," is to the author a source of deep disappointment. A feature of great value to the book is the interpretative introduction by Mr. Robinson, who is the President of the First National Bank of Los Angeles and was, with Mr. Gompers, a member of the commission which planned the organization.

THE UNITED STATES OIL POLICY. By John Ise. The Yale University Press, New Haven. $7.50.

It is not only the Government's policy regarding oil that one will find treated in this exhaustive work; it is also pretty much everything else regarding oil that any one wishes to know. About the only thing missing is a treatise on the formation of the oil deposits. The author has evidently lived laborious days at his task; he has garnered from a wide field, and he gives his facts and conclusions with simplicity and clearness. The chronicle of Federal activities regarding oil is necessarily a brief one, since for many years the Government had no oil policy whatever. Even Roosevelt in his earlier conservation proposals ignored the subject, and seems to have become aware of its importance only in the closing months of his term. By one of those ironic antics with which history provides us from time to time, the first definite act of Federal intervention was taken by President Taft at the instance of his Secretary of the Interior, Richard A. Ballinger. This was the withdrawal from entry of certain oil lands by Executive Order in September, 1909. Next year came the Pickett Act, approving the withdrawals, but another ten years followed before the matter was again acted upon in any

his faults and his fortes-as most of us are aware-but there's one thing about him that has never been given the publicity it deserves. He was a great Oyster Eater. He ate oysters because he liked them, naturally. He found that they "hit the spot"-just as they "hit the spot" with everybody else who has a palate that likes to be pleased.

But Napoleon was just clever enough to realize, too, that this pure, wholesome sea food which we call the oyster-always left him feeling fit the next day. He discovered that they were both good to eat and to have eaten. That they were the happy combination of a favorite food for the palate and a favorite food for thought. Of course there were many important facts about the oyster that Napoleon didn't realize-as for instance that it contains 200 times as much iodine, a most important essential to human vitality, as milk, meat, or eggs-but just the same he reached the right conclusion. He ordered oysters often.

THE STORY OF A BOY ON TO OREGON! Willsie Morrow. Honoré PIONEER. By $1.75. William Morrow & Co., New York.

It is a reviewer's commonplace to speak of a book as one that will please both young people and grown-ups, but that is a precise description of Mrs. Morrow's new story. John Sager's father and mother died on the covered-wagon journey to Oregon.

John, a boy of thirteen, carried on. It was in the early days (about 1845) of Kit Carson and Marcus Whitman, both of whom aided young Sager. John had been a trying and disobedient son, but he roused himself to do what his father had planned. He had five sisters and a brother, all younger than himself, one a baby. They helped him a little; he bossed them a great deal. What they went through and how John they did it makes a thrilling tale. That the author was a pioneer, all right! makes his achievement seem possible is a triumph of story telling and close attention to detail.

ACK BENNY tells of a fellow living in Los Angeles. This fellow heard that his mother, who was visiting in New York, had suddenly become ill. Hopping on his bicycle, he rode day and night until he arrived in New York. The doctor informed the son that only California air would help his mother, and that she was too ill to travel. What was he to do? He let the air out of his bicycle tires and his mother, breathing that California air, promptly became well again.
