Mrs. Mabel MeClain, head of the circulation library, promises an en largement soon. “The Children,” Edith Wharton’s latest, a commentary on American family life and its accompanying evil, divorce, is widely discussed, and considered another one of Mrs. Wharton’s revealing novels. “Bam by,” a translation from the German, by Felix Saltert, portrays the birth and growth of a fawn in the German forests. It does not reach the fan tastic, but stays close to the verdure of Germanic nature. “A' Mirror For Witches” Perhaps one of the most intriguing of the shelf’s offerings is “A Mirror For Witches,” by Esther Forbes. Inside its wood-cut cover is the life and machination of Doll Bilbv who preferred a demon to a mortal lover, and the “righteous and awful judg ment that befell her, destroying her corporeal body and\immortal soul.” The Literary Guild of America has chosen for its October novel, “Point Counter Point,” by the in teresting young writer of the British Isles, Aldous Huxley, grandson of the scientist, Thomas Huxley. It is an amazing panorama of contempor ary London life, and its scientific presentation is softened with a firm stand against the trivial and sordid. “The Happy Mountain,” by Maris tan Chapman, another Guild child, is being mentioned by some for the Pulitzer prize novel. Mrs. Chap man has understandingly given us the Tennessee folk in .their own pe culiar circumstance. It is beautiful and authentic. D. H. Lawrence has a collection of his short stories in a new edition. “The Woman Who Rode Away,” and . other stories are good reading for short hours. Non-fiction Displayed New non-fiction includes a well developed biography of “Frances Villon,” by Wyridham Lewis; “Goethe,” by Emil Ludwig; and “Peter Stuyvesant,” by Hendrik Van Loon. These follow the lines of the new idea of biography, inter esting and humanized.

Pathos Note Added To Dads’ Day When Widow Writes Hall The annual “Dads’ Day” at the University of Oregon last week-end brought joy to hundreds of fathers and their boys and girls, but it had its note of pathos as well. This came this week in the form of a letter to Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall, presi dent of the University, from a mother who said that she now had one child here and two more coming next year, but that their father had passed away a short time ago. In the letter the mother asked Dr. Hall to find a “Dad” next year who would adopt her three children for “Dads’ Day,” and it stated that she would be glad to buy them all tickets for the banquet. Like a real mother, too, sho thought of other boys and girls here who could not participate in the event, and sug gested that her plan be carried out to include others who had no fathers to accompany them during the day. The letter will be turned over to the Dads’ Day committee, and it is hoped that some plan along the line suggested may be worked out for next year.

But don’t over look the fact that those old Roman road builders and empire builders kept their feet firmly fixed on the ground. They faced the facts squarely. They were demons for detail. They were the world’s first great organizers. Pioneering in the telephone industry is like that. It is a work of vision and of leadership into new fields. But back of it all must be the ability to organize men, money, material and machines. The telephone executive must coor dinate his machine before he can run it. He must understand the possibilities in his organization before he can lead it. That done, his opportunity is empire wide, vision-broad and ambition-deep.
