THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIPA: ABOUT BOOKS AND THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE THEM Five Good Books for Children ."THE WAY OF POETRY" Compiled by John Drinkwater -----"KNOWING BIRDS THROUGH----- STORIES" By Floyd Brailliar amples of earlier work and perhaps of a more cheerful viewpoint-~especially in "The Trail of the Hawk"â€"than he per- :, haps displays in his most famous books^ *• In any case they furnish a fine example of the progress of a figure who has lately become unquestionably one of the fore- most of American literary landmarks. Sinclair Lewis has stirred up consider- able discussion, and his last two books have been read in perhaps too great a spirit of controversy as to whether or not they reflected actual conditions to allow of calm judgment as to his merits as an author. The acquisition of these first three of his books would give a-Teal op- portunity of passing judgment without the Stnokf ^"d dvgt "* rnntrnwrny----- F. Gregory~7Tariswick. "THE STORY OF GRENFELL OF LABRADOR" By Dillon Wallace "BAB HASKINS IN SOUTHERN SEAS" By Captain Charlton Lyman Smith "INCLUDING MOTHER" By Margaret Ashmun Publisher: The Macmillan Company $1.5Q. Reviewed by Leila 2}. Bracy Rcviexvcr for The Detroit Free Press Mr. Drinkwater's faultless taste and his sympathetic instinct for selecting those poems which will appeal to young readers have guided this compilation. Nursery rhymes, whimsical and fantas- tic poetry and the great and beautiful are included, from "The Frog Who Would A-Wooing Go", to Rupert Brooke's^ "The Soldier". Including poets from pre- Elizabethans to the moderns, this book is-suitable for readers of any age. Dillon Wallace has himself braved the hardships and perils of the Labrador country. He tells of Dr. Grenfell's work among people who were little better than serfs and of the establishment of schools, hospitals and co-operative stores. This book should appeal especially to boys. When Floyd Brailliar was a hoy, a 10- acre grove was set aside on his father's farm which he turned into a bird sanctu- ary. Hawks, crows and guns were barued. Years of observation and study have resulted in "Knowing Birds Through Stories". The birds selected as subjects represent the important fam- ilies in the United States and the author's aim has been to identify these families so that the reader may recognize or at least roughly classify any bird he may encounter. "Bab Haskins in Southern Seas" is a live book and not cluttered up with conventional sops to recommend it to "fond parents or a prudish- aunt". Jos- eph C. Lincoln contributes a hearty in- troduction. Captain Smith has been a sailor on a square-rigger and many of the characters are taken from actual life. The hero and his family, of courser are straight fiction. Miss Ashmun contrives to get away from beateiLpaths in "Including Mother". A charming, temperamental widow_.and her two daughters offer opportunities for clever character studies. Shirley has to be the man of the family while the thoughtlessness and selfishness of the mother and sister and their consequences furnish the material of the plot. The Earlier Sinclair Lewis Works "THE JOB" "OUR MR. WRENN" "THE TRAIL OF THE HAWK" By Sinclair Lewis Messrs. Harcourt, Brace & Company are putting out a uniform edition of the works of Sinclair Lewis, of which these three volumes are the first to appear. They form an interesting comparision with "Main Street" and "Babbitt*, by which two books Mr. Lewis, is generally known. These three treat of life as it is today â€"or rather as it was in the early nine- teen-hundredsâ€"and show the same in- sight into human character and motives that appears in the later works. The writing is not up to the latest standard, but when one considers that the earliest of these three appeared in 1910 one can- not justly complain that the workman- ship is not equal to 1922. Admirers of Sinclair Lewis are urged to add these books to their collections; those who do hot like him are referred to them as ex Copyright 1923, Howard H.

The rail- roads prove their efficiency by handling it promptly even though the freight rates are not such as to yield a fair interest rate upon, the investment in railroad property, and this is particularly true of the roads in the northwestern region. RAILWAYSâ€"THE BASIS OF COMMERCE: Transportation is a fac- tor in all commerce, a primary necessity for the exchange of products. Adequate transportation in the United States has played a large part in making possible the accumulation of more wealth in the United States during the last twenty years than the British Empire has accumulated in its entire history. REST CURE FOR THE RAILROADS: The railroads have helped to make the United States great. They should receive fair treatment at the hands of the Government and its various commissions which control their activities. A "railroad legislative holiday" should be proclaimed throughout the United States. The fact that for many years the railroads have received, as net income, less than is now recognized as a fair interest upon their property value, is a challenge to our form of regulation. Notwithstanding increases in rates since 1917, the railroads are now and have been for some time, handling freight at the lowest rates in the world. â-  x "â- ' â- '""";"' RAILWAY SERVICE: Railway service in the United States has reached a state clefficjencxjipl«n^^ wor,d'_We have become -â€".-^ioiniJiolr^^ operate this service and the real unity of the transportation system which enables one to ship goods over any and all lines at will; opens a world-wide market to the producer, and permits travel to any accessible station. The comfort and luxury of our passenger service would have been inconceivable fifty years ago. FAIR TREATMENT TO RAILROADS: The railroads- of the United States while contributing freely to the prosperity of the Nation, have not been allowed an equitable share in that prosperity. They have been slandered by self- seeking and unscrupulous politicians. : They have also been subjected to a form of restrictive regulation which has not been applied to business generally. Not-r withstanding all thejidverse conditions under, which the railroads are placed the ^hica^a^"North WelteThnE^lway System continues to maintain a service,, both passenger and freight, of the highest standard. it mm s38- Himm mm K "~;""5FffM^°K MMMSM >.;' -mil. ^i^.
