Yes! He's a
Friend of Mine
Gentlemen I Or shall we just say
men? Are you interested in the fe
male opinion about your wearing ap
parel ? Of course you are, because
there is more pride and vanity in men
than women.
A survey, taken this week, proved
three girls out of every four have the
isame likes and dislikes. They like
tweeds and gabardines, especially
• the latter when two shades are blend
ed—blue trousers, tan jackets—grey
trousers, blue jlackets; it seems that
the choice of shirts is immaterial, as
long as you have a spread collar and a
Windsor knot in your tie. Sweater
vests look well with an outfit like this.
By the way, the girls feel that bow
ties belong exclusively to Frankie.
The socks 'are unimportant because
they aren't seen much anyway. That
is one article we leave entirely to you.
In the line of shoes loafers took first
place, saddles second and oxfords
third.
'How about coats and hats ? Well,
the girls think belted coats are nice,
but loose, boxy coats are nicer and
look much better on the wearer. And,
fellows, they just love those Joe Col
lege hats! Because women are crazy
'about hats, they will love 'any kind
that is out-of-this-world. Plaid shirts
and reindeer sweaters were mentioned
and the ‘screams, sighs, Oh’s and Ah’s
caused an awful lot of noise in the
hall.
Yes, men, when you are nearly
dressed, have personality and charac
ter, a girl is proud to say, “He’s a
friend of mine.”

WRITTEN AND READ
Hundreds of books are written each
day,
Just to record what people say.
Sometimes the person speaking uses
his head,
When these books are written, they
are also read.
Publisher: John Day Co., New York
This book, which might be more
correctly titled A Talk About the
Soviet Union, is a lucid and uncom
promising example of the life of a
citizen in that “struggling giant,” so
commonly referred to as Russia. The
facts given here are merely experi
ences of one, Masha Kalenovich
Scott, who, born in the lowest level
of Russian peasantry, rose to a posi
tion of recognized ability in educa
tional and social circles.
The author of this book had, as
so many Americans do today, a fear
based on ignorance of the “Soviet
Dragon”; yet unlike many contem
poraries she did something about it.
There were several methods by which
the author could secure more than a
superficial knowledge of this subject;
however, she chose the unique way
of getting first hand knowledge by
talking to a Russian citizen. One of
her recent . acquaintances, Masha
Scott, was chosen as the model Rus
sian citizen. Although Masha refers
continually to average citizens, it is
quite evident that she herself has
fared better than the average.
There are many interesting details
in the book to give the reader an in
sight on the general make-up of the
Russian masses. The relationship
among the many minority groups is
explained; the reasons for the suc
cess of Communist leaders in organ
izing the masses in more clearly un
derstood after digesting the simple
facts given in the book.
Masha Scott, wife of an American,
was one of ten children in a peasant
family that became “collectivists”
in the vast Soviet economic system to
raise the Russian standard of living.
She points out with pride to this fact
and constantly refers to it through
out the book. She is not a party mem
ber and her reason for this fact
“raises no eyebrows.”
Pearl S. Buck, author of numer
ous books on China, among them the
Pulitzer Prize winner, The Good
Earth, illustrates her versatility by
turning momentarily to the highly
distorted subject of Russia. In true
literary style she has written a book
about the Soviet Union, which, al
though it is not entirely inclusive, as
probably no book can be, enlightens
the reader in a realistic manner. The
author definitely accomplishes her
purpose as stated in the opening pa
ragraph. Pearl Buck has chosen her
central character wisely. The choice
shows desire to eliminate from the
book the distorted visions of “one
with a cause.” The character of the
leading figure develops the confidence
of the reader and leaves him with lit
tle doubt in mind that he has been
accurately, if not conclusively, in
formed on this highly volatile sub
ject.
Karl T. Wagner
The summary of the book is clear
ly stated. In plain words the author
says that “Bread and Books” is the
answer to the problems afflicting
“three-fourths of the world's popula
tion of underfed, ill-housed, ignorant,
and diseased people.” With sound
reasoning she issues her warning:
