Reviewers for Emerald Browse Among Books THE SILVER STALLION By James Branch Cabell. Re’ viewed by W. P. M. This, the first work that Mr. Ca bell has produced in three yeafls, introduces us once more into that mythical land of Poictesme with its wealth of legend and fabulous lore concerning Dom Manuel—squint eyed, swaggering Manuel—and ma ny other valiant and affectionate rogues. The reader of Mr. Cabell’s previous tales will in no way be dis appointed in this addition to the cycle, for in it he will find scin tillating dialogue and rollicking in cident told with the same rare deli cacy and in passages of fragile beauty. The high adventures of the lords of the Silver Stalliion transport us into strange lands of fantasy where black magic and weird abracadabra hold full sway, and these beautifully impossible tales are heightened with touches of subtle and penetrating irony that we can characterize only as Ca bellian. The tales are sub-titled “A Com edy of Redemption,” and begin with the strange disappearance into the night of Dom Manuel, which finds rich and colorful detail in the im agination of a small and frightened child, Jurgen. The other nine ba rons of the Fellowship disband and go forth in search of separate adventure; but around the child’s story of transfiguration has grown up a legend concerning Dom Ma nuel, the redeemer, who was all goodness and justice and who would return a second timo to deliver the faithful of Poictesme. Of mild-mannered, blinking Ker in and his twenty years’ search for knowledge in. the bottomless Well of Ogde, of fair-bearded Gon fal and his stay with Queen Mor vyth in the pagan Isles of Won der, of blustering Coth of the Rocks Elmer Fansett to Go To Knights9 Meeting Elmer Fansott will represent the Oregon Knights in the convention at the University of Washington to bo held Friday and Saturday, May 21 and 22. Representatives of chapters of tho Coast states will attend. The University of Oregon, Washington State College, University of Wash ington, University of Idaho, and O. A. C. will send delegates.

Keen Competition During Meet Although the number of track as pirants is not so great as that in other spring sports, such as base ball or hockey, competition was keen this year and, since track is a comparatively new sport for women at Oregon, this year’s showing is good. Miss Ernestine Troemel has coached the sport. Nellie Johns is head of the event, with the follow ing class managers aiding in mak ing the meets a success: senior, Elizabeth Lounsbgry; junior, A.r liene Butler; sophomore, Harriet Osborn; freshman, Josephine Ral ston. The final meet for the second class teams will bo run off Thurs day afternoon, May 20. All first teams girls are expected to appear to officiate. Concert (Continued from page one) short periods of study with other masters, since ho was studying on a research basis. He was particular ly interested in fugal writing, and lie said that he can still hear his teacher saying, “lint why don't you write for the orchestra?” iiipiiiiMiiiiMliBiiiiniiiiiaituHiiiiHiiiaiiiiiBliHiiiniii and all those other warlike and am orous barons and the things which happened unto them, space and dis cretion forbid us tell of here. Mr. Cabell is an American for all of his unfamiliar material. His irony, brisk but never bitter, always deft and good-humored, is directed against superstition, hypocrisy, in tolerance, fanaticism, humbuggery and especially that pomposity in which men are prone to take them selves and their destinies too se riously. Always we imagine on odd smile of amusement playing about his lips, while toying with his dream-world and while reflecting upon his readers as they struggle and stumble over unpronounceable names. Throughout runs a vein on the utter futility of all human striv ings and struttings, posturings and frettings which pass with the dust of death. Says Saraide, “Life is a pageant that passes very quickly, going has tily from one darkness to another darkness with only ignes fatui to guide; and there is no sense in it. But life is a fine ardent spectacle; and I have loved the actors in it; and I have loved their youth and their light-heartedness, and their un grounded faiths, and their queer dreams, my Kerin, about their own importance and about the greatness of the destiny that awaited them.” Yet, Jurgen in later days con cludes that even the worship of. Dom Manuel, the Redeemer, founded on the legend that his childish imagin tion had invented, was justified pragmatically by the fine deeds it led its believers to perform. All lovers of good literature and high comedy cannot afford to misS this addition to the tales of Poic tesine. MAKE REAL MONEY THIS SUMMER! Work for yourself. Represent us in your own territory.

U • Advertising is the merchant’s lighthouse by which he attracts and leads the buying public. Competition is so prominent that a business must tell what it carries, in what it excels, and in what it specializes, etc., in order to keep pace with other concerns. Advertising, if properly placed, is sure to bring results. The Emerald is the official campus daily. It reaches the students, faculty, and residents of the University district. Its rates are reasonable, its service is good, and its results are appreciable. The Oregon Daily Emerald
