y3 run down as vigorbusly as possible | their own country in order to seem grown up and sophisticated. At home they do it because it is the form of noise, like jazz, most popular at the moment. As Mr. Burt makes clear, this sort of thing can be carried too far. As he says, "All you need to «â€"â€"â€"~â€"=â€"â€"eqndemn a thing is to call it Ameri~ â€" can." "We have become a derogaâ€" tory adjestice."

Best Stories" and "Sweden‘s Best Stories." Anyone who has been as vague about these two very different countries as we have, will be glad to read simulâ€" each. It is said by reviewers that the Norwegian stories have the crisp vigorous qualities of the saga, while those of Sweden are colored by the bright poetic qualities of the lyrie. the Bremen fiyers‘ account of their trip come forth with the statement, "On May 23rd the Bremen fiyers conâ€" cluded their good will tour of the United States and for five days will go into retirement and finish their k~â€"l "The Three Musketeers of the Air." They didn‘t dare say "write" instead of "finish" though that‘s what they Life for Commander Richard E. Byrd has been truly the great advenâ€" ture. That is the first thing that forâ€" cibly strikes one on reading his new book "Skyward." Let anyone who doubts the opportunity, the struggle, the hazards and the rewards of aviaâ€" tion find here his proof. Commander Byrd writes with such sincerity and such conviction that those who have thought we were jo@Ring along pretty well, we had better let aviation alone, will realize that that is what lots of people said about railroads one hunâ€" dred short years ago. "Hurtling through the air at fifteen miles an hour" sounds like a joke to us now, but there will come a time when our demurrings at a hundred and fifteen will sound as funny. No, as Commander Byrtd says there | is something in human progress which I is bigger than the individual or hi” desires or safety, and when that spirit | of progress in the concrete instance . lays hold of a man he is as putty in its hands. So when his cightyâ€"seven year old grandmother | said to Byrd Wefore his flight to the Piteâ€"*"Web4 what will you do with the North Pole ; when you get it?" although he | couldn‘t explair it in words yet he | knew there was something he could do with it. Byrd‘s life has been a lie of unâ€" selfish devotion to the cause of aviaâ€" tion. If his book did not convince vou of that it would just be one more book describing the spectacular. Since it does convince you it becomes a history of aviation, a record of the human effort and sacrifice that has been spent upon it, so that an aeroâ€" plane | glimpsed | from your sitting room window is not just a moving speck and a noise, but an achieveâ€" ment of the human mind and will and a promise of great things for the future. This is a splendid book, fasâ€" cinating reading for anyone. What alchemy is necessary to turn one of the most finished, suave and delightful of novelists into a slightly tiresome and almost peevish essayâ€" ist?.

The title refers to the other side of the quesâ€" tion, the side which seldom has the nerve or lungâ€"power to raise its voice against the Mencken ballyhoo. That is well and good. We are anxious to hear someone speak up on that side. But somehow, unfortunately, Esther Gould‘s Book Corner we are not particularly interested in the way that Mr. Burt speaks. He is just a little too reiterative, a little tedious. ‘The major promise of the book is a #ood one. It is that America is getting a decidedly "raw deal" just now in the form of criticism both at home and abroad. Americans travelâ€" ling in Europe think it their duty to ‘of wars.

British manufacturers who desired first hand information on the merâ€" chandising possibilities in an industry jumped from a rich man‘s hobby to the most popular outdoor game in the United States, with more than one billion dollars invested in land, clubâ€" houses, fairway and player equipment. Remarkable Growth The third annual presentation of the International Golf Show recently given in Chicago in itself attests reâ€" markable growth of the sport and the necessary equipment. Starting with a handful of American manuâ€" facturers three years ago, the Interâ€" national Golf Show has kept pace with expansion of the sport and the recent exhibition was participated in by two hundred of the leading golf equipment manufacturers of Canada and the United States. Thousands of country club execuâ€" tives, greenkeepers, managers and pros flock annually to the Icternaâ€" tional Golf Show, just as mtorists regard the National Auto Show and radio fans the Radio Congress, as the one big "style" and merchandising event of the year. o __The announcement that the Intcrâ€" national Golf Show would be given in New York as well as Chicago brought the immediate inquiries from British manufacturers, who, perhaps, did not know that the Department of Commerce places Illinois as the greatest State of golf equipment purâ€" chasing, New York second, Pennsylâ€" vania and California third and Texas fourth.
