[ New Books At Library Many 'more new spring books havé found their way to the {brary shelves. The Boys' and Girls' lib- rary has also received its share of new books, These have been great- ly. apprecia by the younger readers. uring the summer months, beginning in June, the Ju- ventle library will mot be open Sat- urday afternoon. One of the most interesting spring books is "Mareea-Maria" by Sophie Kerr. It portrays a moth- er's struggle to retain dominance of her son who has married a warm-Hearted Italian girl, and her later efforts to gain control of her tittle grandson. The plot is "hand- 16d with skill and plausibility and _ the. characters: are alive and cou- vineing. A . Blasco Ibanez's last novel, "Une known Lands", is a story of Colum- bus. It is a dramatic and color ful tale of a pair of lovers--a Christan boy and a Jewish girl who took service as pages to Chris- topher Columbus and sailed with 'him on his first voyage. The back- ground both in the Old World and the new is vividly painted and the story moves swiftly. ¢ "The Glory and the Parlour" by D. Carman is written with kindly humour and understanding, The growth and development of woe man's economic independence {is entertainingly portrayed in tnis novel of four generations-----sturdy pioneer Grandmother Peachem; Margaret her daughter, sentiment- al and parasitic; Nancy the grand- daughter, who wins her own way but sacrifices. her potential career to her husband; and Faith, Nancy's daughter, the young, clear-eyed modern. A book all mothers will enjoy is "Her Son" by M. Fuller. Laura Wolcott, a strong and spirited wo- man, molds her son's character with the wisdom and asperity of a Spartan. The story of her strug- gles as a young wife handicapped by an ineffective husband, but for- tified with an immense ambition for little Stephen, makes fascinat- ing reading. '""The Lay Confessor' by Stephen Graham is of Russia just before, during, and after the revolution. The central figure is Epiphanov, physican psychologist, sensualist, fakir, priest, who was credited in the popular mind with having the power of healing, miracle-working, and prophecy. It is a story of un- restrained emotions, exotic in at- mosphere and character, through which runs a genuine knowledge of Russian society and politics, Ras- putin and Lensky appear in its pages. Stories of the west--of itinerant preachers, desert rats, prospectors, --dealing with the fortunes of life in the pioneer desert community is "The Parson of Panamint" by Pe- ter oe Kyne, & "Da by Anne D, Sedg- wick, 3 delicate ARID. two English women who came into cons flict not only because of their re- lations as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law but because of tke different viewpoints of the genera- tions they represent. The war furnishes & background for a well written 'story of love, poignant suffering. and readjust ment in "The Silver Virgin" by Ida Wylie. The title refers to a small church shrine' in Spain that be- comes a symbol of the young Eng- lish lovers who first meet at its feet, This is not a happy story but one that has a quiet power in its delineration of character. Other new fiction received: "Mi- asma" by BE. 8. Holding; 'The Greatest Adventure" by J. Taine; 'Into the Wind" by R. W, Hatch; "Red Cavalry" by I. Rabel: "The Moon is Made of Green Cheese" by . 8. Comstock; "The Duke Steps Out" by L. Cary; "Me and Shorty" by C. BE. Mulford; "High Hazard" by R. Watson. "Chrysalis" by Z. Humphrey is a charming book, . The author tells of how she and Christopher lett their rambling and lovely old house in the Vermont hills and went to live in a new, small one in a mea- dow. The style is lively with nice touches of kindly philosophy. interesting book on social condi- tions in '""The Way the World is Going." These articles were writ- ten for great weekly newspapers upon both sides of the Atlantie. They reflect the sober and serious but advanced opinions of Wells, the controversialist, on such sub- jects as the Kuomintang, in China, fascism, communism, world peace, marriage, the American people, the future of the novel. "Slaves of the Sun" by F. A. Ossendowski is the result of a jour- ney through the western part of tropical Africa in 1926,. The hot, pestilence-ridden centre of Africa with is multitudes of "sun-slaves" has moved the author to write tails impressionistic study of the inner consciousness of the Negroes of the Sudan, Senegal, Upper Volta ana the Ivory coast. Ossendowski's treatment of them is poetic ana sympathetic. + Keenly diverting, Bot pot unsym- pathetic in their attitude, are the interviews of American ndtables by a young English journalist, Bev~ erly Nichols in '"The Star Spangled Manner." He writes wittingly and gaily of his meeting with "Big Bill" Thompson, Henry Ford, Cool- idge, Richard Halliburton, Lind- derfs Charlie Chaplin, and other wel! own Americans. "Pere Marquette" by Agnes Rep- plier is a book of interest to everybody. With a magic touch, the scene, and the motive of the Holy father's travels are here re- constructed. The forest and the Plains are repeopled with the In- fans he sought to convert and the mighty rivers and lakes appear as the marvels they were to the ear- ly explorers. And through it all the character of Jacques Mar- quette, scholar, missionary, and gentle friend, takes on a reality. A series of articles on the train- ing of character and the qualities required in its acquirement is con- tained in "The Seven Torches of Character" by Basil King. The "Letters of Katherine Mans- field' are written to her husband, J, M. Murry, 8. S. Koteliansky, Vir- ginia Wolfe, and others of her friends, describing minutely her thoughts and mental states while she was in England, France, and elsewhere in Europe seeking relief from her fatal malady. They cover the last ten years of her life, and fill fn the gaps in her Journal. They, like the Journal, are expres- sions of an acutely sensitive mind, and there is a strain of sadness in even the most cheerful ones which her good humour and whimsicality cannot entirely conceal. JRY FINDS *% DOCTOR NEGLIGENT Dr. Charles A. Kennedy Blamed for Deaths of Two Women Toronto, May 28--Gross negli- ence on the part of Dr. Charles A. ennedy was charged in the verdict of the jury which Thursday after- noon enquired into the deaths of Mrs. Eliza Waddill of Orono, Ont, and Mrs. Mary Borland, of Toronto, who died in Toronto Western hospital Sunday afternoon from injuries re- ceived when Kennedy's car was struck by a one-man street car on Wells Hill Viaduct.

TRAPPED SEAMEN TESTS SUCCESSFUL Momsen Lung Device Is Again Experimented With Washington, May 28-New tests with the Momsen lung, a' device which permits trapped seamen to es- cape from a wrecked submarine, have indicated that escapes can be made from a depth of at least 302 feet with as much ease and lack of phy- sical. discomfort as at much less epths, the Navy Department an- iounced recently. The latest tests were held in the experimental tank at the Washington navy yards on Monday and Wednesday last. Lieut. C. B. Momsen, one of the developers of the lung and the man for whom it was named: Lieut. Norman S, Ives; Chief Torpedoman Edward Kalinow- ski and Chief Torpedoman P, T, Hoy conducted the tests. Although the tank actually con- tained only about four feet of water, pressure was built up to a depth «| equalling 250 feet while the men were submerged in it wearing their Mom- sen. lungs. Later the pressure = was increased to -equal a depth of 302 feet. Pressure Shen was Teleased at a speed which about equalled the rise of a sailor from that depth from 20 to-23 minutes being required. -Heretofore the deepest the lung has proved. successful was 200 feet, which was in actual sea water off Key West last winter, Constructed in Spare Time ' With Few Borrowed 4, Tools men are building an airplane in a sement in Maisonneuve, Montreal. or more than a year they have worked in their spare time, evenings and Saturday afternoons, and now the single-seater sport bi-plane is almost ready to go into the air. Leicester J. Leatherby is 25 now, 4and Harold McQuaig (Mac, to his friends) is 30. Both were interested in aviation and drifted from differ- ent towns to Canadian Vickers, Ltd. where they are now employed in the works offices, "We knew nobody here, and he had nothing to do, so we started this," Leatherby told a Star reporter. "Two other fellows were going in with us at first, but we two have car- ried on. A girl who is used to the work is going to help us to cover the fuselage and wings, and then we shall be ready to fly." On trestles when The Star reporter went into the basement was the fuse- lage, the carefully built wings were lying alongside, on the floor. The 35 hip.-motor is'from an old Ford. The propellor is from a war-time machine. The young men have had next to no tools beyond a plane, a few files, a soldering iron, a hacksaw, and a cou- ple' of hammers, Yet Royal Canadian Air Force in- spectors have seen the machine and given the young men their blessing, and Captain Caldwell; the Vickers test pilot, has promised to be the first to fly the machine. "Is it up to expectations?" "Yes" replied Leatherby to The Star re- porter's question. "No!" replied Mac. "We've learnt a lot since we started. We were the most optimistic asses the Lord put on earth to have at- tempted it. We knew nothing at all about the job." The next question, what were they going to do with the machine when it was finished, showed up more than ever the amazing contrast between the two builders. Leatherby, a handsome young chap, smiled above the collar of an overall. Mac, a hardbitten Canadian who went through the war and then through Queen's University, Kingston, was in a black beret, his old red, yellow and black college sweater, and old trou- sers. It was in 1800 that his people came over from Ireland, but he looked as though he were just from Cork, complete with broken clay pipe and shillelagh. Of course the two have had terrific arguments. "I don't dream--I 'have no illu- sions," said Mac. But Leicester Lea- therby had! "I should like to fly home in it" he said, "--to Midland, Ontario, 400 miles away." Mac doubted, but Leatherby was Montreal, May 28--The young i ER Rr Et waa / SV LLILAS LY, i Science and Skill can make no better floors --- Art none more = beautiful 25 Albert Street, Oshawa W. J.

Here are the official dimensions of the plane: Over-all length, 18 feet; span, 24 feet; over-all height, 8 feet; chord (width of wing) top 56 inches, bottom 45 inches; aerofoil section, R.

If the plane is successful it may be made to carry two people, Floats may be added, and in any case it will be possible to substitute skis for the wheels. And again, if the plane is success- ful, its builders are going to take fly- ing lessons so that they will be able to fly it, from St, Hubert or Cartier- ville, Successful or not, they are goin have a fling on the night of the first test, for their imprisonment, even though voluntary, has been long and close. Then they propose to start building an even lighter plane. They are not satisfied with having done what probably no other ama- teurs have ever done. FINDS ARITHMETIC NEEDLESSLY HARD Educational Expert Declares Schools Teach More Than is Required to New York, May 28.--Arithmetie, eternal bugbear of the American youngster, is in for a drastic and made public at Teachers' College, Columbia, are carried into effect, At, least 85 per cent more arith- metic 18 now. being taught in our public s¢hools than is required in "life stations," according to the survey. Coupled with the joy that is due for the school child when he learns that the complicated factoring, in- volutions and square roots--worst of his "number work"--have been branded hy the savants' survey comes the charge that much of this supplemental arithmetic has been injected into the school room by special interests. "Arithmetic has been shown to be the chief source of non-promo- tion in the elementary grades," says the inquiry report. "It is too abstruse and is couched in lan guage beyond the years, experience and comprehension of most pupils who are required to study "it." That this report is the first ef a series of inquiries on the need of curriculum revision for the dif- ferent studies in the public schoots is intimated in the report. It is pointed out that the method uped in exposing the alleged evils of present-day arithmetic teaching "may help in formulating a tech- nique for the solution of other cur- ricular probléms." "The revised curricula, it is pointed out, would teach those branches of the subject which are 'now actually in use in adult life."

Col. Bauer was a big man with a commanding personality, charming manners and genial disposition. His activities, however, always produced trouble. By profession' he was an artillery officer in .the German: army, and he had long experience of staff work.
