Ming Yellow, by J. P. Marquand. A competently written adventure story of modern China. An American newspaper man, a lovely girl, a wily celestial, etc., mixed up with bandits. An excellent yarn.

A Hope for Poetry, by Cecil Day Lewis. "The substitution of emotional for logical sequence, in so far as it is prevalent in post-war verse, may finally be classed as one of the manifestations of that general distrust of logic and dethroning of reason brought about by the Great War and formulated into a creed by D. H. Lawrence," writes Mr. Lewis. This book is essential in understanding the modern poetry of Eliot, Auden, Spender, Lewis, as well as that of Gerard Manly Hopkins and Wilfred Owen. An excellent and sensible exposition.

Wah' Kon/Tah, by John Joseph Andrews. This book deals with the Osage Indians, and in particular with their relationship with the late Major Laban J. Miles, U. S. Indian Agent on the Osage Reservation in Oklahoma. A book which was recommended to me by Bob Mc Kennan who considers it one of the best books ever written on the American Indian.

Howards End, by E. M. Forster. Published about twenty-five years ago this fine novel should be revived. Mr. Forster is well known for his novel A Passage to India, and for his biography of G. Lowes Dickinson.

Ten Thousand Public Enemies, by Courtney Ryley Cooper. Discusses the most notorious of our criminals and their liason with crooked lawyers and politicians. A sorry tale but Uncle Sam is making a good deal of headway with them.
