Statesman Book Nook - Reviews of New Books and Literary ; News Notes By CAROLINE C JERGEN Neighbor to the Sky. By Gladys Hasty CarrolL. MacMiilan. f2JS0 1937. - This is lust unch & book aa anT of us might like to hare written. There is nothing in it to be ashamed of In after years. There is nothing objectionable whatso- ever. Most readers have likely noticed how fiction has changed in the past few months. A year ago or - perhaps more correctly. 18 months ago we were all de- tending frankness. We liked, we said, to have a i spade called a spade. What we did not like was beating about - bushes. Anything less than utter frankness was a bore. Of course, everyone under stood that sex jind -utter frank ness were one and the same thing. Now, gradually, books are tak ing another trend. We re-discover that there are subjects other-than sex about which to be frank. Sex as an only subject for novels has become as out-meded as. ankle length sport skirts on. high school girls. The subject was interesting enough while it. lasted. It has served its purpose: many people who had never bothered to read, began to read. It is hoped that at least a small percentage of these will have acquired a habit they will continue. But now we have tired of our "stark reality." We are turning in search of mental peace and security: We find some satisfac- tion in "Neighbors to the Sky." This may make the book sound dull. But It is not dull. Nor is it deep and ponderous. It will do very nicely for the readers who want "just a story." There is a sood love story with a satisfactory ending. But' there is also auffic- lent iody to lr& some food for thought to the average thinker. There is even some unrest for those who grow discontented at too much contentment. The story centers around Luke Gilman and his wife. Margery.

But when Luke fell in love with Margery Lee, the new teacher at the district school, his life be came completely changed. Marg ery, is too tense, too eager to get away, completely away, from her sordid childhood. Hunger" for se curity and success as she meas ures them Is her Consuming ambi tion. She marries Luke- when he promises to leave the farSi and "make something- of himself." From then ' on her ambition Is used to put him forward. Following their marriage they visit briefly at her- father's home, a father she admits she lias al ways hated. She believes that he is not her real father, but Luke finds resemblance between the two. She is hurt and surprised to find that Luke likes him. "How could you like him." she asks, to which he answered, "I don't know. I don't like him for hurting youi I like him for himself. Be cause every way he's hurt any body else has hurt him, too, and he knows it ' and can't help - it, and he's grinning and bearing It. He's a hard ' man to live with and he's been living with himself around 70 years and he doesn't complain." v . ? - ' Luke finds hl- .elf slightly be wildered in ( a new world where one has to fight to make his way. First he serves as part time teach er, then as graduate student at Teacher's college, Columbia, and finally as a member of the fac ulty in a large midwestem uni versity. While he enjoys his work and proves successful in it, he does not feel satisfied. He can not measure success by material gain. It is peace he desires, and he finds no real peace In the world where divorce, suicide, false standards rule. , To Margery life in New York proves fascinating. She is open to strange Influences. In the mid weetern university town she sets about creating a background only to find that very soon modern istic design replaces the "antique" atmosphere of which she had been so proud. Margery finds herself in a position in which she either has to dispose of her old fashioned furnishings or no long- Jcke of anr Gladys HaKr Car 9U stoves. .... 1 , j l i ! . Cornell's Pig Has Nervous Collapse Breakdown Induced ; Apple . Made Harder to Reach 4 EachVDajr, System -, , . t PITTSBURGH, May 15.P CornelL university has a pjg with a nervous breakdown scientifical ly indured.. He Js.. the. first pig who ever had. a nervous break-' down and' It ,'was given to him - In the hope ' of discovering better? means of dealing with human' breakdowns. ' ' The pig. Achilles, had his break down in March this year, after spending a year In a special pen solving the problem of how to eat an apple. The apple was made constantly more difficult to get until Achilles' mind gave way. He s 1 11 1 has his "neurosis" which was described to the Ameri can Psychiatric association here by Dr. Howard Scott LiddeU of Cornell. Today when an apple is placed directly ia front of Achilles he cannot decide whether to eat it. .-. ; - -- Sometimes he snaps and gets it, at others his jaws miss and he gives up. He has stood for as long as an hour, motionless, with the apple he wants to eat balanced on his nose. . His disposition towards other piga hss become very bad, in fact it closely resembles many of the symptoms shown in human nerv ous breakdowns. : 1 ' Fate Problematical Whether Achilles will ever re cover is problematical. His re covery will be attempted. It is hoped that on his somewhat sim ple nervous mechanism the rem edies tried, which will be much the same as those for human be ings, will show their values clearly. In human nervous disorders. Dr. LiddeU explained, there are so many complicating mental and physical features that both cause and cure are difficult to under stand. . The methods w h 1 h caused Achilles to crack were similar to those which Dr. Lfddel previously has tried on sheep. . The sheep also had nervous breakdowns despite the extreme simplicity and supposed quiet strength of their nervous systems. One illuminating discovery -Is that It Is more difficult to cause nervous breakdown In Achilles than In the sheep. The reason ap parently Is that a pis; Is more complicated In nervous organisa tion. This would suggest that hu man beings have the greatest re sistance of all "animals" to nerv ous breakdowns despite the fact that they are the only ones who have them naturally. Achilles' nerves held ! up until he was facing problems that might annoy even a human being. Y.

Me and Thee. By Robert W. McCnUoch. 1037. Lothrop. 92.00. To the sanctuary of the peace ful Shaker colony at Mount Leb anon came lovely Kate Harmon, fleeing the world and, chiefly, an unwelcome : marriage with the hard-drinking, swaggering John Talbot. In her unhappiness and despair she felt she wanted noth ing better than a quiet life among those good people who dedicated "Hands to Work, Hearts to God." . r But love could not be shut out even here, where rules were strict and rigidly enforced, and celibacy the mainspring of the Shakers' religion. And so it was that when Jethro Tiffany, the young black smith and Novitiate Brother, first set eyes on Kate's exquisite beauty., a wavering doubt assailed him as to : the - wisdom of his chosen path. Kate, too, felt ir resistibly attracted to Jethro's rugged strength and simple hon esty. Vows seriously and solemn ly taken were not to be put light ly aside, however; and many lives were to be changed and much to happen before these two were free to work out their destinies. - What an oddly assorted party Stephen Ogden has assembled this Saturday' afternoon on board -his yacht, the Testa. Evelyn Burt could not help thinking to her self as ah sat sipping a frosty julep on the sheltered afterdeck.

By way of saying something smart: Better the small shot that neatly spots the bullseye than, the big shot that knocks down the target and musses up the adjacent landscape. , I " . - I reckon there are at least 100,000,000 people In this coun try who are willing to permit one man or one group of men to "ruin" the country up to a cer tain point, but once let 'em get it Into their heads that they don't want the country "ruined" they'll unruln It fast enough. It Is noted that Senator Borah is "alarmed" again.. The senator believes in becoming "alarmed" while there is yet time to do something about it. He is a good deal of a. comfort, "Senator Borah. Of course, it is little I know of European politics, but every time I read In the papers that France and England have dispatched an other "warning" to Mussolini : cannot help wondering what he does with it. Does he call that bored look to his face and toss the "warning" nonchalantly Into the waste basket or does he do his famous ripping -and-snortlng act? He must have quite a num ber of "warnings" amongst his souvenirs if he saves 'em up. I notice It usually embarrasses a man who Is giving out a line of talk on the constitution of the United States to ask him If he has ever read the constitution. It is a bit astonishing the number of us who have never read the constitution. , And, after all, says a man whose forehead bears the furrows of thought, I dunno as it is much to be wondered at that so many folks aren't familiar with the con stitution. I was at a dinner party once, says he. Is people at the table, men and women, average intelligence, and the hostess was one of these women who think up things of an instructive nature to amuse their guests. On this occasion, after the roast turkey had gone round a couple of times. and the pie had been served by the pink-cheeked Norwegian maid, and the coffee urn had been placed at the hostess's right hand. she announced that she was to give a prize, a really worth while prize, to everyone present' who was able to answer a question which she' had written on slips of paper and which the maid would then and there distribute. The question was "What is the wording of ' the preamble to the constitution of the United States?" None of the guests was able to "remember." One ven tured to give the first words of the nreamble. but was ruled out after he had triumphantly began with "When In the course of hu man events." Then, tactful lady that she was, the hostess took one of the children's school histories from a stand, where it chanced (?) to have been left, and read the preamble. She said she was never able to remember It herself. In Salem It was at a picture show. A youth ana a maid beside me there, . v He looked like a prince, as princes go.
