This is the record, in a few words, of
Sir Douglas Mawson, as narrated in
the book now under review. The reve
lations of the latter are nearly unbe
lievable. The pases are filled with
deeds of conquest and daring, deeds
as brave as ever those done by belted
knight on historic battlefield. The
book is easily the adventure-book of
the year, and will be read with ab
sorbing interest. Hurley, the official
photographer of the expedition, and
others, obtained unusually fine pho
tographs and klnematographic films of
wild animal life and these are repro
duced with much success. The pictures
are numerous and attractive.

There were 60 men in the Mawson ex

scientific explorations of modern times.
The vast Southern continent was
traversed through 60 degrees of
longitude, new lands were discov
ered south of Australia and much
new scientific matter added to the sum
of human knowledge. A wireless equip
ment was put in active use. and at the
new stations organized. Sir Douglas
was enabled to flash warnings to Aus
tralia of the approach of storms from
24 to 48 hours in advance of their oc
currence in that civilised part of the
world-

"We went out Sll miles before turn

bulk of the provisions disappeared in
a deep crevice and were not seen again
"The only hope for Mertz and me lay
: In instant return. We were favored
' by almost the last fine day wo had, and
at first the dogs mado fair progress.
Soon, however, they began to give out
until we had to drag them along across
. the Ice ridges. In the teeth of the howl
ing gale and stinging snow. On Aew
Tear's evening, the last of them, my
own favorite dog, named Ginger, gave
in and we had to make our meal from
, what little meat clung to her poor
bones.
"I was feeling weak and Mertz had
'a look in his eyes that told how hard
he was trying to keep up. We were
. still 125 miles from camp. Together we
buckled the harness on our breasts and
dragged the sleigh forward.
"Seven days later Doctor Mertz suc
cumbed to the cold, exhaustion and
' starvation. We had made camp and he
lay down in a torpor.
'I m done for,' he said, and then his
mind went and he tossed with delirium

:Thtn his struggles ceased.

If I could carry the diaries until I could

there was a chance they would be
F found. So I buried my dear friend
Mertz how I had learned to love him
s.nd slept through the bitter night.
"With Mertz dead I was alone. I
.couldn't drag the full sled. So I tawed
it in two, packed what little gear I
r-ould, put the harness over my shoul-
Pders and struggled on.
"There wasn't a shred of skin on the
soles of my feet, because of continuous
frostbites. Then, groaning under my
burden, the snow I walked on rumbled
rneath my feet and I dropped into
flitter blackness.
"For a moment the oncoming sled to
Iwhieh I was harnessed slid toward the
hole, letting me slowly down. In an
other second the sledge, too, would fol
low me in and life would end. But the
Jedge didn't come In 1 11 explain why
later.
"Around me all was black and still as
death. Above me was the small round
liole with the white light. Weak and
, dizzy, I exerted the last ounce of my
strength and climbed, hand over hand,
to the snow crust
"Then my eyes closed and I slid back
till I hung again by the band around
mv chest. It was no use. The end
I was at hand.
"I searched for my pocketknlfe with
which to cut the rope and make death
instantaneous. But the kniie wasn t
there I had left it in the pack.
"I began to cry in sheer anger and.
summoning my last strength, ciimoea

Then, as a trapeze hanger swings his
feet over the bar first, so I thrust
mine out, and slowly found myself ly

"The rope bad cut back Into the nara

thing that made me go back up the

and which was to call for us to take
us back. The season was getting late,
but the possibility that they would
probably leave did not enter my mind.
I finished the sixty miles with the dog
meat and a few crackers. And just
as I came down over the hill I saw my
ship sailing out of the harbor and
slowly sinking out of sight.
"So, It was all in vain; they baa given
us up. I dropped down ana criea irom
sheer exhausion. I had expected to re
turn to Australia, where my fiancee
was at that moment hurrying. She
would never see me again.
"And then I saw human beings. Evi

next trip. My mind wasn t working
very clearly, you may imagine. ' They

that what was left of me wasn't worth

It is a great pleasure to know, after

The Rose-Carden Husband, by Margaret
Widdemer. Jl. Illustrated. J. F. Lip-
pincott Co., Philadelphia.
If you know a library-girl, or a
maiden who has scorned marriage and
yet hankers after it and a home of her
very own, or a woman who is miser
ably unhappy without any apparent
reason tell each of them about "The
Rose-Garden Husband." It is a first
class story and a mental tonic. It is
that rarity a story that can be taken
into the home without any misgivings
and placed in the way of growing chil
dren or adults. They will all protlt.
Miss Phyllis Narcissa Braithwaite.
years old, the daughter of a New Eng
land clergyman, with both parents
dead, is assistant librarian in the chil
dren's department in a city library
somewhere in the East. She was known
to the children who frequented the
book department as the "Library
Teacher." from her ability to tell, at a
moment's notice, pleasant and enter
taining stories. One day she returned
from her modest lunch and met a
young mother with "each of her well
gloved hands held tight to a pretty
picture-book-child who was wriggling
with wild excitement, one enna nau
yellow, frilly hair, and one had brown
bobbed hair, and both were quaintly.
Immaculately, expensively kissablA"
After the pleasant domestic party has
passed on, Phyllis remembered like
flash that the young mother had beep
a girlhood friend of her own, a MisB
Eva Atkinson.
Eva never was as pretty as I was.
said the library girl to herself. "I'm
sick of elevating the public I'm sick
of working hard 51 weeks out of 62
for board and lodging and carfare and
shirtwaists and the occasional society
of a few girls who don't get any more
out of life than I do. I'm sick of
libraries and being efficient. I wish to
be a real girl. Oh. I wish I had a lot
of money and a rose garden and a hus
band." Marvelous. The fates up above neara
her wish. An elderly man and a friend
of hera entered the library, a Mr. De
Guenther, one of the rich lawyers or
the city and a politician oi lniiuence.
He asked if she would come to his
home and meet his wife, who wlsnea
Phyllis to become engaged in a differ
ent line of work. Mrs. De Guenther ex
plained to the astonished girl that a
friend of her own, a Mrs. Harrington,
has an invalid son, Allan, who has been
unable to leave his bed for seven years.
as he was suffering from an injury to
his spine. Allan Harrington was taking
his intended wile out ror an auto riae,
when the auto tilted over, the young
woman was killed and Allan injured.

a tomb," sums up Phyllis' first im
pressions of Allan. He lay in a half
comatose state, apparently unable to
move, because of the injury to his
spine. Mrs. Harrington turns out to
be a loving nagger, a sickroom nui
sance, who is ever on the chatter, a per
perpetual torment who can be expected
to shatter anv one's nerves. She had
neatered Allan nearly to death. Mrs.
Harrington was sure she could not live
long. The marriage was hurriedly
solemnized, and Phyllis was Mrs. Allan
Harrington. The elder Mrs. Harrington
dies. Phyllis notices a wolfhound dog
in the sickroom and orders out the
dnf for exercise.
Phyllis became mistress of the big
Harrington house and makes up ner
mind that her husband's illness is
malnlv mental. She secured for him to
play with a French bulldog, Foxy. But
did Phyllis love her nusDana ; iso, not as
yet. Into their life there floats plenty
of gloom, but the young wife is
maker of cheer and smiles. ' She and
Allan get to be good friends. She is
sure that if Allan were to get to
house in the country, a bouse with a
rose garden, that he might recover.
Done.
The change of scene works wonders
with Allan. His wife persuades him
to move his arms and to walk. You
see, his illness had largely been meta
physical.
A college friend of Allan calls, a Dr.
Hewitt, who tells Phyllis privately tnai
her husband's illness is neurasthenia.
Allan gets the foolish notion into his
head that his wife has fallen in love
with healthy Dr. Hewitt, while he.
Allan, is a physical wreck. He tells
his astonished wife to get out of his
sight, that he is sorry he ever saw
her. etc. She goes.
It is best to stop here at this stage.
Here's To the Dsy, by T'harles Arnew Mac
Lean and Frank BllEhton. George
H. Doran Co., New York city.
Our authors are the most enterpris
lng of the season so far. War is lit
erally in the air. It is the one topic,
practically, of conversation. Mr. Mac
Lean and Mr. Blighton are the first to
write a novel on the present war in
Europe and they are to be oongratu
lated. Their novel is stirring and
dramatic May it prosper to the ex
tent of many copies being sold.
"Here's to the Day" begins its reve
lations in the sovereign state and
Duchy of .Luxembourg, where Robert
Cameron is united States diplomat. His
daughter. Charlotte, is entertaining
her admirer. Count von Hollman, when
Dr. Fairfax Morgan, an American and
also another admirer, appears, ac
companied by his chauffer, Cornelius
Healy, a Bowery boy from New York.
Von Hollman pokes Ill-natured fun
at Americans and British, ridicules
their system of athletics and by a trick
at Japanese wrestling throws Dr.
Morgan. A rumbling fills the air, the
great war is on. We read of fight
ing in Belgium, court-martials, Zep
pelins and stirring march of action.
The Americans pictured in the novel
are splendidly drawn, and the love
story, although it is wisely subordin
ated, is well told.

Six short stories of unusual power,

of the most striking of these stories
is where the lawyer-hero discovers that

secretly worshipped in his inner con
sciousness had been lying to him and
was really the' mistress of the cores
pondent. Some of the splendidly

This splendidly written, morality
play of woman In addition to its
literary excellencies, has special signi
ficance for neoola in Oregon, because
its author is a. member of tne faculty
at Reed College and because also she
read the play, with fine taste, last
Tuesday night, at the White Temple.
It hae more than ordinary vision, high
purpose, and is certain to be welcomed
as a corner stone in the feminist move
ment in this country.
There are four speakers In this play
Every wo man. Human Truth, Art and
Flame-of-Llfe, but most of the action
is carried along by the two former
characters. Others of the latter are
Th Singing Voices. The Woman on
Life's Road. The Wasters, The Wasted
One. The Joy Givers, The Flame Keep
ers and The Heritage of Everywoman.
For most of the time. Everywoman
is represented, as a learner and as
being in a state of wonder at the reve
lations of the more experienced, practi
cal Human Truth, who has a new voice.
Tt shouM be noted that John Mar
ehaii pnmnoiad the organ accompani
ments for the prologue and the final
chant, and that Miss Irene sstimson
made the setting: for the Song of the
Fawn Spirit.
The play, it is explained, is written
in full runninsr iambics, and. no
tempt is made to cqnform to blank

consists of a short syllable followed by
a long one. or of an unaccentea syt

The prologue is short, visionary and
prophetic. The play proper begins with

Leaving Gualala. we followed the
Coast and became more and more fas
cinated with its rugged, picturesque
beauty. Dozens of seals were disport
ing in the water. The surf was tre
mendous, dashing with fury against the
rocks, where it broke in fine spray
above huge ruffles of foam. I think I
have never seen such heavy surf. In
the many little inlets into which it
rushed wifh added fury, the water was
churned into a perfect cream, which
ran . thick and heavy over the rocks
and up the embankment, leaving a
thick scum over everything. Whether
the action of the surf had covered an
intermingling of the clayey soil of the
shore with the sea, or this was merely
the effect of unusual churning, we
could not determine.
Abelones Wrenched Leone.
Abelones were wrenched loose from
the rocks, and the beach was littered
with thousands of pieces of these beautiful-shells,
shining up like jewels
among the pebbles.

cropping of stone and scattered live
oak and madrona trees in park-like
arrangement made a beautiful land
scape. We had heard only occasional
birds thus far, but now the meadow
larks sang almost continually," and the
sun shone. While from a purely agri
cultural point of view the country may
not be promising, as a way of superb
beauty it could not be surpassed. For
Summer, or even Winter, country homes
where space and distance are more de
sired, than mere returns from the soil,
it is perfect With it only a few
hours from San Francisco, someone is
losing an opportunity.
rianfatlon of Southern Origin.
Plantation, our noxt stop, has as the
name implies, a Southern origin, evi
denced by the long, narrow galleries
running around the old inn, the many
small outbuildings, and the treatment
of the grounds. It is a comfortable
stopping place. The next day we com
pleted the steep climb to Seaview, an
inn located at an elevation of 1450 feet
straight up from the sea, and from
which a magnificent view is obtained
not only of the ocean but of the coun
try back from it. We arrived early, and
the day being beautiful, we could not
endure the closeness of the inn, so went
to a neighboring hilltop and built an
Immense log fire, piling on pitch-loaded
knots, which yellow-gold tongues of
flame soon licked Into a furnace of
crumbling heat. All afternoon we en
Joyed our hilltop and our fire, the ocean
far below, the patches or nveiy green,
and not a human being In sight It was
all our own wilderness, with the as
durance of later comfort lent by the
tinkllnsr of a far-away cowbell and the
suggestion of smoke from a chimney

Winter guests. We have usually been
the only ones except a lono stagedrivtr

phone inspector. It has given us the
impression of awaking sleeping inns
and starting the wheels oi iraae an ior
ourselves.
The country continued hilly and
beautiful the next day as we resumed
our Journey, and the roads were excel
lent This thing of the roads is an
other matter on which the foot passen
orr.i can take no resident's word.
Everywhere since leaving Eureka we
have been told that the roads beyond
were impassable; that we could not
possibly make it. And nownere nave

Summer Resort Reached.
At Cazadero we arrived at the first
of the typical Summer resorts. Every
thing was closed but a store and a
makeshift inn. Here it began to rain
in torrents. The next day we came on
to Occidental, following the narrow
gauge railroad, as the roads were un
der water. The rain continuing, we
are waiting here for better weather.
At all events we are only oil miles rrora
San Francisco, in settled country.
We expect to complete tne mm-win-
ter hike to San Francisco from Eureka
in less than a month, tne time we al
lowed ourselves. We have been de
layed only a few days by bad weather
and have .had no Illness or accidents.
All have been lightly dressed, and the
extra sweaters carried for cold weather
have not been used.
The men's packs weign approximate

nine pounds. All the members of the
hiking party have gained weight
Many Memories Gained.
That is the purely physical part. I

the weather man. but In this list I
have tried to suggest things that cani
be depended upon to produce blooms
during the month mentioned, although
many of them will last through nioro
than one month. The time of bloom
ing of annuals depends largely upon
the time sowing the seeds. Gen
erally speaking It Is well to 1Pd
upon bulbs for early Spring and tall.
Most annuals are at their best In -Midsummer.
Among the most easily grown an
nuals are nasturtiums, which seed
themselves so readily in this climate
as to become almost a pest, ami sweet
peas. The latter grow to such perfec
tion in Oregon as to rival the rose
for popularity.
If the colors do not fight with the
scheme of your garden, by all means
h:ive some marigolds. Tliey sre eas

The seeds may be started either lr
