Envy is the unholy passion stirred in one's heart by this book of Mrs. John Borden's, "The Cruise of the Northern Light." Every time Mrs. Borden speaks of the strange beauty of the Arctic which one must see to realize, one is envious. Even the dangers of hidden snags, the exhaustion of long hunts after seemingly non-existent bears, the chance of being caught in the Ice Pack, a "hideous night" of a hurricane deter one not a bit from wishing one had been along. It was such a delightfully "once upon a time" thing to do, to fit up a private yacht with every necessity and convenience and sail from San Fran- cisco on April 21, 1927, on pleasure and adventure bent, incidentally to pick up some polar bears, wild flowers and things for the Field Museum.

DUTTON & CO, Inc. Mrs. Borden tells the story of their adventures interestingly, and with the conscientious accuracy and fidelity of a ship's log. While this quality would not be a recommendation for most stories, perhaps, it adds to the reality of this one, it makes us feel that we were almost there. The book is pro- fusely illustrated with excellent pic- tures taken by the photographers of the party. JUST PARAGRAPHS It is said that five dollars is paid to anyone finding a typographical error in the Oxford Bible If this could be extended to all books it would be a gold mine. Comparable to the idea of the frog in "Cinderella's Garden" who says "all the people I meet are just crazy to write. Now--this is the cle- ver part--let them do it, only they won't be paid. We're going to pay the readers." It seems as if something like this should be done. An investment which ought to ap- peal to hard headed business men is the new anthology of the world's po- etry which has been compiled by Mark Van Doren. For Mr. Van Doren states that the collection "represents at least five thousand dollars worth of poetry" should the books containing the individual poems be printed sepa- rately. This is putting poetry on a business basis. By the Author of the Famous Novel THE GREAT HUNGER THE NEW TEMPLE By JOHAN BOJER A powerful, soul-stirring story by a great figure in world literature.

C. T. U, was included in the two pages of such expressions of thanks voiced by celebrities all over the United States and printed in the issue of the Christian Science Monitor of the day before Thanksgiving. Miss Gordon made the following statement : "I am devoutly thankful for the patri- otic indorsement on Nov. 6 of the Eight- eenth amendment to the Federal consti- tution--a triumph for the principle of nrohibition, world-wide in its beneficent influence. "I am thankful I live in a republic where women are citizens who, in a poli- tical crisis, are willing to place principle above party that the homes of our Na- tion may be supremely blessed. "I am thankful for the signing by 61 nations of the peace pact, which bids fair to become a path of world peace." Elect 1929 Purple Captain at Alumni Dinner Saturday Election of next year's football cap- tain and the awarding of letters to varsity men and numerals to fresh- men, will feature the annual football jamboree to be held by the North- western university club of Chicago at the hotel Sherman, Saturday night, December 8. Several thousand Purple alumni will attend the banquet. Music will be supplied by the Northwestern band of 150 pieces. "ORIGINS OF THE WAR" Who was primarily to blame for the ruin wrought by the World War? The revelations from the German secret archives have opened to his- torians invaluable material on the history of Europe from 1871 to 1914. These new documents, together with recently published records from Russia, Austria, and other countries, and the flood of memoirs of leading statesmen, have made possible a fresh and more accurate survey of the un- derlying causes of the War. Sidney B. Fay, Professor of Modern Euro- pean History in Smith College, now analyzes all this new material in two volumes entitled "The Origins of the World War." His conclusions have been eagerly awaited. TRANSLATE BURDEN BOOK "Dragon Lizards of Komodo," by W. Douglas Burden, is being trans- lated into German for publication by Brockhaus. This book, the account of an expedition to the lost world of the Dutch East Indies, was published by Putnam last year.
