Lion Feuchtwanger--whose recent novel "Power" it is rumored has just been purchased by Hoover for his five inch shelf of books--has got the idea. He is bringing out this Fall "Pep," poems of America by one who has never been there. Having read the books of other visiting authors from overseas he thought he might as well save the boat fare. A FOREST IDYLL "BAMBI" By Felix Salten. Simon & Schuster. " "Masterpiece," "work of art," what- ever the words the critics will supply to this "Bambi, A Life in the Woods" by Felix Salten, they will not cover the whole. There is something in the book which defies a label, a quality as elusive as the deer which is its hero, a quality which one seldom finds in any book. Perhaps it is the quality of complete sincerity and simplicity, per- haps it is wisdom, whatever it is it makes one, when one comes to review it, approach it humbly. Bambi, young Prince of the forest, is only a little fawn when the story opens. Standing on his small weak legs he is just surveying the world and finding it wonderful and mysteri- ous and very exciting. His mother talks to him telling him of the happy wonderful things about which Bambi questions her endlessly, but now and then pausing, as if on the brink of a cliff, before some nameless frighten- ing thing. Bambi, too, pauses and wonders. But life is so thrilling that he does not wonder long, only goes on enjoy- ing the woods, and the meadow in the sunlight, making friends with the hare and the squirrel and becoming terribly excited when one day they come upon some of his young cousins. The cous- ins frisk and play together only stop- ping once to ask each other, "Do you know what danger is?" The others are silent then his girl cousin laughs and bounding away says "It's something to run away from." Then one day it becomes more tan- gible than that, great claps of thun- der, man-made thunder, tear through the forest and many of Bambi's friends fall. He loses track of his mother in the escape, and never sees her again. Bambi grows in stature and wisdom into maturity, learning the lesson of the old stag, his father, which was: "You must live alone, if you wanted Goodness Invites When your appetite goes lazy, and you peck and toy with food in- stead of eating it--try the Plaza.

Bundy, who holds the chair of English Bible at De Pauw university, has written a new book entitled, "The Religion of Jesus." Several years ago a book by him caused much adverse criticism and for a while it was expected that he would have to resign from the university faculty. Dr. Bundy"s new book, highly controversial in theme and treatment, is to be published in September. to preserve yourself, if you understood existence, if you wanted to attain wis- dom, you had to live alone." Because of the elusive quality of Bambi it defies the ordinary words of praise or comparison. It is a thing in itself, quite perfect, perhaps best de- scribed by the words of its publisher an "idyll of animal life." Felix Salten, one of the group of Viennese writers, has a forest lodge beside the Danube and from here he- has learned to know the wild life of which he writes.
