Trhe World Book' Manî st.ates (andl far be it 'from us to defy or, even question so learned a gentleman) that from.ten te twenty million peo- pie hear bim' every'- evening from eigbty radio stations, since there. are over- eleven million, radio reçeiving sets in -the. United States alonie, rep- resenting, semetbing over ten million familiesg, and then there are receiving sets inCanada 'and: in foreign coun- tries.' Therefore, it iiji6të saf -to say tbat there is an average of four 'listeners for echd reteiving set,' states our World Book Man. Eighty powerful broadcasting sta- tions send a daily mnessage out upon tbe air-eighty radio stations whicb represent every section of the United States. If only one-fourtb of the radio sets are in operation witb, an average of four listeners to the set tbere is an'audiece of ten million. The WorId Book Man explains te us that he bas the largest public. fol- lowing in the history of the world. Today with' eigbty radio stations broadcasting the mail. pours in f rom every section of the country, even from the radio station in Bismark, a3way up in North Dakota. Within ten weeks the World Book Man re- ceives over *3,00W0 letter!s. Scbools keep notices of this radioý feature posted on their bulletin boardsi 'Teachers discuss the pro- gramns' with their pupils and'use them as ýsuggestions for comâpositio'ns and for oral recitations.

It '18 pleasant to lcnow that there is a brighter side te, it, but even:in this story we gct glimipstàs of tbe dark side. Susie sand her. littie brother Mr.' Channon introduces to the reader a number of characters, and then, ini short story manner, takes up the lives of each one. He seems to believe that ecd man has hiot so much _a personal destiny -that has been'planned at bis brth 'but rather his fate is governed by bis -surround- Jngs and*people w ith, whomlei thrown in, contact. "It sometlies happens," .writes ,Mr. ,Channou. 'tespecially to' people who consort much together, Othat tbey unconsci- oüsly become links in a*,chain-'o.f love,',w.here eacb of tbem, as it werp, loves bis rigbt-hand neighbor Dannywas aware of« the' powerful chain that bound :Polly to, himi, Gus Edwardes to bier, the unfortunate Amy Plank to Gus, Felix- Barlow to Amy, and. at the end1, poor Edia' Tyler to Felix.' Danny knew that. lie bhad only to surrender to Pol 'ly's love for, bim, and Gus, would returii nu- mediately -to Amy . elix. w'oculd reaJize how mucb Amy preferred Gus to"hlm,' and would 'probably. fall int.>' the aching arms zof Edna Tyler." The decision' of Danny Spriniger' de-temines the fate of ail thé others. The8e young' peopie are broughit up togtber in Paradise City a li ttie Wsosin town wbich is hit suddén- ly by a- financial boom, that carries some of. them into thie mad whi'rl of London, Venice, and Paris. Eachi patbetically tries to 'seek happines in bis own way. The beautifull Pol. ly Peacock finds ber social ambitions realiâed but loses the one thing for wbicb she has a true spark of love. The romantic Amy Plank searches the world for love and finàllv finals it in a bronze statue of Guidarel!o Gùidarelli on exhibit in an Italian art, museui., Danny Springer dreains of. happiness in' Venice but finds., disil. Mr. . Channon is the philosopher wbo stands coldly aloof 1f rom the char- acters Àthat he cMates. He writes in the manner of the French and the Rus- sians, presenting the facts of bis story' without endeavoring particularly to rouse syrnath'v or eutinin the *ii'ci l UA8Jam"Y, itestory Miss Ashmun tells and tells well. Uer characters are natural, ber family is a real fam- ily, 'and the happy ending is real and natural, too.
