I4 -is Hs4 vmt ABOUT BOOKS AND THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE THEM 1 An Able Article-Tract-Story ^ l-THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD" By Philip Gibbs Though the title page proclaims this )k a novel, it is really a "three in one" r. As a series of special articles on )st-war conditions in England, Ireland, •ranee, Germany and Russia. It is ccellent as a tract urging a sympathetic iderstanding of the other f ellow s view- >int, it is effective; and as a story it is >rbing enough to make the reader jet, for the time being at least, that le is being instructed and having his prejudice denatured. The tale concerns Bertram Pollard, served as a British machine gun atjor, and his beautiful, cold-blooded rife, Joyce. Bertram, unlike Joyce, can- regard rebellious ex-soldiers, Sinn •emers, Germans and Bolsheviki as ists. This difference of opinion pre- cipitates a break which sends Bertram off the Continent, gathering material for articles for "The New World," and irhich results in complications between Joyce and handsome Kenneth Murless of le Foreign office. Bertram hurt by Joyce's coldness, rejects feminine con- cation proffered from two or three ther sources, but, when it finally ap- irs that Joyce has accepted Kenneth, Jertram soon finds himself in love with, Jadia, a superlatively noble girl whom le meets in Russia. Things happen licky in the last few pages to€ bring jpbout an ending which may, or may not, regarded as a happy one. H. Beach Carpenter. Golfers Attention! 0 THIS IS GOLF" By Harry Leon Wilson UTTER PERKINS" By Kenneth Brown Did you ever drive a perfectly topped 11, a true ground gripper, that dribbled few yards from the tee and came to it in a rut ? And then did you take tat beautifftl form-fitted brassie and e a fierce lunge at the dashed thing »nly to lift the father of all divots with- it disturbing the ball's sweet rest? If , did you then stride to the nearest tree id with perfect swing and stance prov- ed to wrap the shaft of that choicest assie around its trunk? Perhaps not, it there's many a time when you wanted to. This little book will sweeten the way for the great crowd of sub-golfers, who, 4s;Harif Leotf^ of the players; it will brighten their dark moments and encourage them to steal back to the game each time they have thrown it up in disgust. And it will give to the super-golfers that sense of superiority which is the greatest reward for having toiled upward (or is it down- ward?) out of the class of tyro. Whether you are sub, super or plain golfer, don't miss it. Herein "Putter Perkins" is the quint- essence of scientific golf. Poor Perkins was the dubbiest of the dubs, but he re- fused to let the game get the best of him. For a month he retired from the SSffi WJWjUii greens and worked out the problems in his. laboratory, where he jhad just per- fected his wireless torpedo. When he re- appeared he had a curious outfit of clothes with a row of brilliant buttons on the waistcoat, and his form was uni- que. But what a game he could play! His ball took wings and flew, and always to the pin! And the marvelous part of it was that he did it all with his putter. His new technique carried him to a na- tional championship; but he was almost outdone when he played a match with a German who insisted on a trombone for an accompaniment. This is a book that no golfer should miss. It is one of the wittiest things ever written about the game.
