Outstanding Novels, Short
Stories and Biographies
Among Fall Releases
Many of tlio now rail releases #f
the writing world may be found on
the University rent shelf at the main
library waiting to afford interesting
reading these wot, rainy evenings.
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.
Two books that Mrs. McClain rec
ommends highly and which, though
they have been on the shelves for
some time, have not been given
much notice arc “The Life And Let
ters of Joseph Conrad,” collected

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.

MEN of vision, yes. 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.
