That Henry Ford's book, "My Life and Work," had to be ex- purgated because of its economic views before it could be published in Russia? That "Revolt in the Desert" by T. E. Lawrence is really an abridge- ment of "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom'® of which only eight copies were published in 1010? That Susan La Follette, a niece of Robert La Follette, Sr., has written a book on feminism-- "Concerning Women," which the Bookman says is the best of its kind? A new question book is now ready. This is fortunate since all the east- ern half of the U. S. has answered all the old ones. This was compiled by a former fellow citizen of ours, Harry Hansen, and F. P. A. One of the questions which they propound to their gaping public is, "What quaint custom prevails among visitors to Rome who wish to return?" Answer, "They buy a return ticket." Another "What happened to Jean Paul Marat when he was taking a bath?" And just as you are thinking of deadly dangers they answer "(1) the tele- phone rang, and (2) he lost the soap."

"Falling Seeds," whose title seems to have nothing perceptible to do with the story and whose paper cover of charming farmers and farmerettes makes one fear the right one was mis- laid in packing, is the story of Sara Spain. Sara is tired of Oceana, Geor- gia, where she has always lived in the good old tradition of her family. So she, with a fair amount of urging from her elders accepts the offer of William Henry Haskell IV, to become Mrs. Haskell and go to New York to live. The lure of a big city is in her blood and with a matter-of-fact cheerfulness she leaves her childhood sweetheart, her old friends and her home. But when she reaches New York she finds that she has only exchanged one little circle, one set of rules, and one set of traditions for another. And anoth- er that she does not like quite as well. Everything in Sara that is rebellious begins to rebel. Then there is a long process of taming. It is a sad process, to see anyone broken to the harness gives one a sense of one's own cap- tivity. So in the end when she has become a model wife we are more nearly depressed than we were by her early errant ways. "Zero"--Collinson Owen. "Zero" is bv Collinson Owen, an English journalist, war correspondent, and novelist. This book, his publish- ers tell us, is his most serious contri- bution to novel writing. It is not astonishingly serious, though it has what would be termed a theme. This theme is embodied in the words "To begin a new life, to be absolutely vourself again, do what you please, live how you please. To start again absolutely from Zero!" This to John Garth, distinguished novelist, seemed to embody his ideal. Garth is unhappy with his wife whom he suspects of loving another man, he is pigeon-holed in his work and he longs to break away. First he achieves a vicarious freedom by writ- ing under an assumed name, a novel completely his own, unfettered by what others think. Then there comes a convenient railway accident in which he is reported killed. But Matthew Knowle, as Sara Spain in "Falling Seeds," only exchanges one set of fetters for another, for when he finds himself free the first thing he does is to become involved in other entanglements. And after some heart burning and searching he decides that he likes the old set best. So he goes back to a mourning and remorseful wife and they all live hap- pily ever after. --EsraErR GouLp. \ ts The haunting story of lovely, lonely Juanita THE SEA GULL By KATHLEEN NORRIS Doubleday, Page & Co. $2.00 Winnetka Library New Books James--The Letters of William James Orcutt--In Quest of the Perfect Book Wright--House and Garden's Second Book of Interiors Thomson--The New Natural History Smith--North America Cheney--A Primer of Modern Art Macy-- The Story of the World's Literature Johnson -- The Book of American Negro Spirituals Asquith-- Fifty Years of British Parliament Schultz--Signposts of Adventure Singleton--The Collecting of Antiques Hodge-- Goldfish Culture for Amateurs Alliss--Better Golf Bradley--Caravans and Cannibals Wertenbaker--The American People Mantle--Best Plays of 1925-26 Work--Auction Bridge Complete Dewey--Experience and Nature Santayana--Winds of Doctrine Woodward--Through Many Windows Allen-- Israfel: the Life of Edgar Allan Poe Whitten--Pastimes for Sick Children Muirhead--A Wayfarer in Switzerland Hunter--Practical Book of Tapestries Carpenter--The Alps, the Danube and the Near East Ludwig--Napoleon Bacheller--Dawn Hull--Islanders Young--Love Is Enough Sinclair--The Allinghams Peterkin--Black April Lewis--Elmer Gantry Norris--The Sea Gull Weston--Wondering Moon Benson, Stella--Goodbye, Stranger Undset--The Cross Young, Stark--Heaven Trees Orczy--Sir Percy Hits Back Stern--The Dark Gentleman Delafield--7Jill Bercovici--Singing Winds Bates--The Two Sisters Sublette--The Bright Face of Danger Ayscough-- The Autobiography of a Chinese Dog Taylor--One Crystal and a Mother Morrow--Forever Free Morrow--This Day's Madness Gardiner--Father's Gone A-whaling They Say -- "Fast Side, West Side"-- Felix Riesenberg.
