That uThe Wind" by Dorothy Scarborough is to be produced in the movies with Lillian Gish taking one of the leading characters? That thirty years were spent by William Dmra Orcutt i1-~ his ((quest of the perfect book ! 11 It would seem that Ernest Hemingway, author of "The Sun Also Rises," would be competent to describe bull fights, having had three ribs broken himself in the aena.

Roy Chapman Andrews in his ·'On the Trail of Ancient Man," has· written not scientifically but infor_ mally the story of his Central Asiatic Expedition's work in Mongolia. It opens up a new world to the layman who, it is likely, will never have a chance to go travelling off into Gobi Desert where sand and camels and bandits are the only scenery, except for flaming cliffs and painted deserts and nameless snow capped peaks and various wild animals unknown elsewhere in the world. 1 Mr. Andrews feels all this part of the romance well as the immense thrill of finding the first known dinosaur eggs and traces of a hitherto unknown tribe of man. This wandering life is one which he chose above all others, if he could not have followed it he says that in an office he thinks he "would have sickened and died." He makes us understand the fascination. and the necessity which have led him on. as JEFFERSON AND HAMILTON Claude G.
