(Wiltshire engraving) Lines From The Library ON interesting and valuable book added to the reference shelves at the public library is Racial Proverbs selected by S. O. Champion. The book comes as a result of twenty-seven years of research and includes about 26,000 of the most In teresting proverbs from about two hundred languages. The book is arranged by continent, Indexed by chief word with both subject and cross refer ences. We see that Thornton Wlld er'i prlie winning play Our Town Is to be produced soon tnto movies by United Artists. Angela Thlrkell the author of The Brandons Is the daugh ter of the artist Burne-Joncs. She has the power of cleverness In her books which makes for enjoyable reading. Mrs. urnu Ian VioriM If l a riellehtful char acter with a grown son and daughter. Then there Is Aunt 6lssle, who has a lot or money, and cousin, and Slssie's com panion. All these characters make The Brandons a grand hot weather story. Again Edward J. O'Brien has published his annual volume of The Best Short Stories of the Year (1930 in this case). We notice that the source of the stories range from the Atlantic Monthly to New Masses from Esquire to The Southern Re view. Some are older familiar authors nnd some new. Mrs. Mnrjorle Grcenblc's Am erican Saga is both uniflue and worthy of attention, bnsed large ly on letters, diaries and con temporary traveler's accounts. In the author's own words her purpose "is to collect in one volume the records of America's long struggle for better living, beginning with the first colon ists at nil the main centers on the Eastern const and continu ing across the country to the Pacific, and down the line of history to the present." Bnrry Penefleld'a April was When II Began Is a charming impossible story almost a fairy tale. It is full of romance, sen timent, and humor nil mixed logelher and makes light but entertaining reading. By the same author as Valiant is the Word for Carrie. We notice that among the best sellers in England are many titles popular with the readers In this country. Some of these which are on the rental or seven day shelves at the public library are: John Gunther. Inside Asia. Nora Wain, Reaching for the Stars. Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind. Adulph llliler. Mrln Kampf. Stefon Zweig, Beware of Pilv. . A , HARHISM RC. NEWS HAHRISRI'HG, Aug 12 (Spe cial) Gail A. Hathaway of Washington, D.

They spoke most ap preciatively of the arrangements so thoughtfully made for the com fort of the group by Professor Will cox of the University Art depart ment. A last bit of pleasure shared with some of the group was a visit to Gumps. Gumps, for those who may not as yet be acquainted with San Francisco, is an establish ment on Post street which in its art treasures of glass, china, paint ings and carvings outranks the "Wealth of Ormus nnd of Ind' 1 Its Jade room is open to visitors at times and they come away, usually, inarticulate over the marvels It contains. A jade screen in the collection is one of the art treasures of any time or place. A visit to Gumps sends one home with feelings of satisfaction and delight for days to come. "Beauty is its own excuse for being." (Just outside the window at present are rows of sparrows perched along the branches of the tall fir tree that sways in the breeze). Of course, one of the high-lights of any down town trip is to stop, along with the constantly chang ing crowd, in front of Podesta and Baldocchi's window. On this day there were perhaps a half hundred magnificent orchids, festooned about with a six inch thick rope of lavender colored asters. In side the shop we found Mr. and Mrs. Ingham of Eugene who also were revelling in the attractive ness of the place. The League of Western Writers held its eleventh annual meeting in San Francisco this past week. Its headquarters were in the Clift Hotel and its first general meet ing was held in the Sequoia club, 1 1 50 Clay street, San Francisco's r -!(- ' IHI-T-" , . COMMITTEE NAMED YONCALLA. Aug. 12.

Books on California are coming from the presses as fast as corn pops over a good fire. San Francisco's Garden Genius is, as has been said often, and will be many more times, Dr. John McLaren "The Everlasting Scot, Frank J. Taylor calls him in an article in the last Saturday Eve ning Post. If any be downcast and need a dose of pep this ar tide is recommended highly. When Dr. McLaren was a lad he is now ninety-four years old his father advised him to plant trees, "they will grow while you sleep." He is still minding his father for there are thousands of trees growing in his greenhouses now, and he. expects to be wan derine under them when he reaches his century birthday. Should any unbeliever raise an eyebrow at such a hope, he knows neither John McLaren nor his achievements to date! His garden' ing, tree planting, his ability in "bucking" various and sundry Boards of Public Works is a story too good to be missed. If you should have an engagement with Dr. McLaren for four o'clock and arrive at 4:01, it would be just too bad for Dr. McLaren would be on his way to his "fuchsia gardens, the Conservatory, the rhododendrons or the pansy beds.' Perhaps to play dominoes at the game pavilion where a group has a daily rendezvous. Mr. Taylor's article answers the question about the lovely palisade that is rising along the beach, south from Seal Rocks for some ten or more miles, where the waves used to batter the Park, the Zoo, and other spots. Those who had been consulted felt sure that nothing could keep out the ocean. Dr. McLaren decided "you can make it work for you." He bought thousands of bunches of lath, had them set upright an inch or so apart for miles along the shore. In front of the lath were dumped the branches trimmed from the city's trees. The wind and the waves brought in the sand and covered them. Then he repeated the process for the second story. Now there are flowers blooming in the hollows geraniums, ivies, nasturtiums of the ten mile rock garden on the beach! An entranc ing drive! I never knew Thee, Lord, until My garden brought us face to face. Revealed Thy gracious miracle Of sun and wind and space.
