PAGE FOUR THE SALEMITE Saturday, October I 3, 1 928. BOOK REVIEW Hate; by Arthur I). Howden-Smith. Philadelphia, Lippincott, 319 p., $2.00. Life on the high seas, in New York and Long Island was exciting in and about 1812, especially with a beautiful girl in the offing. Lion Fell owes, through ship wreck and divers other mischances, meets Cara Inglepin, of Portugal and New York, and ships as mate on her father’s boat. He is “press ed” into the service of the British captain Collishawe, at whose bidding he suffers the indignity of the cat-o’- nine tails. Hate and the desire for revenge on both Collishawe and Cara (wliom he suspects of having a finger in the pie), drive him on to cscape. fit up a boat of his own and sail forth after the pair of them. Revenge comes to him after many adventures; Cara is his prisoner, Collishawe is killed; and both their sliips are burned. But revenge turns out to have a bitter taste, and when it gives way to love everything grows much nicer. It turns out that Cara loves him, too, though it is hard to see why. There is excitement here in the sea-battles, and novelty in the fact tliat there liave not been many books concerning the high adventurous war of 1812; but outside of these two Doints of interest the book is nothing extraordinary. THE STRANGE CASE OF MISS ANNIE SPRAGG By Louis Bromfield “On the surface, there appears to be nothing which might indicate that Miss Annie Spragg was any thing but an eccentric old maid of the kind found frequently enough in small towns and religious com munities,” concluded Mr. Winnery. But, having read the story, one feels that mere eccentricity would hardly provoke a rather reserved spinster to dance, clad only in a crown of leaves, with a pet black goat in the forest. No, we just can’t quite agree with Mr. Winnery. This Bromfield novel contains an almost Dickensonian array of char acter. The round dozen of them vie with Miss Annie in the posses sion of peculiarities. The motives and even some of the incidents are only suggested so that, at the end, while the reader is clearly able to understand the situation, he feels somewhat in the dark as Mr. Win nery did in his lists of conclusions regarding the case. HE IS HIS OWN GRANDFATHER! Can You Figure This Out? It’s The Truth. A man was visiting a lunatic asy lum and while walking in the grounds he met a patient to whom he said: “Well how did you get here?” The man replied: “Well sir, you see I married a widow with a grown up daughter, and then my father married my wife’s daughter, and that made my wife the mother-in-law of her father-in-law, my father became my step-son. Then my step-mother, the daughter of my wife had a son, and that boy, of course, was my brother, because he was my father’s son, but he was also the son of my wife’s step-daughter and therefore her grandson, and that made me grandfather of my step-brother. Then my wife had a son, so my mother-in-law, step-sister of my son, is also his grandmother, because he is the step-son’s child; my father is brother-in-law of my wife; I am the brother of my son, who is also the son of my step-mother; I am my mother’s brother-in-law; my wife is her own child’s aunt; my son is my father’s nephew, and I am my own grand-father. “That’s why I am here, sir.” The Twig. 1928 FOOTBALL SCHEDULES Oct. 6—N.

Fifids A verage Man and WOman Is Kind-Hearted A woman writer from the New York World got herself a peddler’s license and went out on the street to make a test of New York’s charity and gullibility. She found the aver age man and woman kind-hearted and unsuspecting—that stenograph ers are the most generous people in New York. “The police didn’t both er me,” she reports, “unless I caused a commotion. I tied up traffic on Broadway three times because of the curiosity of onlookjers. New York is more generous by day. By night when I ‘peddled’ the white-light dis trict I aroused curiosity rather than sympathy. Broadway crowds are somewhat cautious.” . . . Begging is not allowed in New York beyond a certain dead line. This woman “beggar” found when she crossed that line the police didn’t see her, indicating the presence of a heart under the uniform. “Where are you going?” “Trying to find out where the pigeons live.” “What for?” “Want some holes for my desk.” COLONIAL MON. & TUES.

He alone, cannot put a new view into reality. In fact, by himself, he cannot even achieve a new view that will also be safe.” H:s Wheel-Chair Auto A Denver man, almost helpless from paralysis, gets fresh air and exercise riding around in a wheel chair propelled by an electric motor. His average speed is seven miles an hour. At night he attaches the storage battery in the chair to an electric light socket and by morning it is charged again ready for another ride.

As he was about to start for home he ran across a youngster who had a whopping big trout dangling from the end of a string. The boy re fused to sell the fish and the fisher man gave him a dime for allowing him to measure the trout so he could truthfully tell his friends how big the fish was that got away from him. Da Vinci Regarded as Greatest of A nato7nists Specialists reading the notes of Leonardo do Vinci have been aston ished at the accuracy of the Italian’s knowledge of the arts and sciences. At least one noted surgeon has called Da Vinci the greatest anatomist. A reason is to be found in the notebooks of the painstaking painter, sculptor and man of science, where about the beginning of the Sixiteenth century he wrote: • “In order to obtain an exact know ledge of these (his anatomical draw ings) I have dissected more than ten human bodies, destroying all the va rious members and removing even the ver\f smallest particles of the flesh which surrounded the veins without causing any effusion of blood other than the imperceptible bleeding of the capillary veins. And, as one single body did not suffice for so long a time, it was necessary to proceed by stages with so many bodies as would render my knowl edge complete; and this I repeated twice over to discover the differ- Must'Know Rural Sociology The training of rural school teach ers is not greatly different from the training of any other teacher. The technique of teaching reading is ex actly the same in the rural school as in the village school, and this ap plies to all other subjects. The social atmosphere of the rural school is somewhat different from that of the village school and always will be. The teacher in the rural school should understand and appre ciate rural sociology.—Successful Farming. Tree Can Shade 7,000 Probably the largest oak tree in the world is the Hooker oak which stands in Chico, Cal., and probably has been standing there for at least 1,000 years, according to the Farm Journal. It is more than 100 feet high, its longest branch extends 105 feet from the trunk, and the spread of its branches in spots is more than 200 feet. It is the tree under which Gen. W. T. Sherman estimated 7,000 ncn could stand in the shade. Simp: You out of college again? Pathetic; Yeah. Simp: Whatja do this time? Pathetic: Graduated.
