M r s . D o u g l a s ' range is astonishing.

She has included stories of personal heroism and shown how huyftcanes have affected national policy. 4n detail, Mrs. Douglas follows the courses of the i great modern hurricanes whicli have struck not only the Gulf Coast and the Atlantic Coast from Florida to New England and Canada, but inland as well, and points up the results to us all in revised building Yodes and insurance policies and the new precautions men and cities must take against future hurricane loss.

Green St. 385-4500 Within a few days the case was a nation-wide sensation, and Miss Larkin --who was on board the airliner when the bomb went off --has followed this tale of scandal, greed and attempted murder front its beginning in the crippled aircraft to its end in a prison cell. Soon after the near-tragedy the police uncovered circumstantial evidence that a famous and popular Mcxican singer, with the aid of a coiorful adventurer, had insured the lives of seven people without their knowledge and sent them off to die with a cheap cardboard suitcase full of dynamite and the promise of good jobs. Miss Larkin's account of the crime and the trials which followed- it is keenly perceptive and immensely amusing. Mexican legal procedure, based largely on The Napoleonic Code, differs widely from our own, ami the author takes us into ,the courtroom to witness a series of dramatic trials which have an Alice in Wonderland quality for those accustomed to our principles of Common law. One nevertheless develops respect and admiration for the ways of justice in our neighbor-republic. Miss Larkin also, takes us into the prison, where inmates are allowed to receive their wives --or their mistresses -- in the privacy of their cells, and where a prisoner with money can buy a comfortable room, superior food, and even the services of a fellow-prisoner as a servant. She also takes us behind the scenes in the trials and into the housesftof some of the principal actoljfs in the drama. Behind this sharp and humorous picture of different customs and different manners in Mexico is the excitement and suspense of a complicated and ruthless murder plot which came within an ace of success. Here is a book which will hold your attention to the last page, a book which follows a group of widely different people into the arena of the courtroom t.i examine their motives and actions in a question of murder.
