This new book docs for Africa what the author's immensely suc

from 1899 to the great war as they affected Africa, with sidelights also
on African history before 1899 and a forecast of its future.
The, dramatic military and dipjomatic movements of the European
countries, contesting greedily and shamelessly for this coveted continent,
us recorded and interpreted by Mr, Gibbons, make a book as interesting
as it is historically important.

This book, by Lyman needier Stowe,
grandson of Harriet Beeehor Stows and
Hmniot J. Scott, for eighteen yearn loyal
and trusted secretary of tho lato Hooker
x wnsninrton. a a mtlntr seauol to wm
Intrton'n "Up From Slavery." Hut It Is more
than tho mere story of the life and work of
one man. it in a record 01 tne nrowtn ana
development of a race by the exorcise of
mo liberty (limited, to be Bure) received as
a. Rift at tho hands of a superior race.
Without desiring- to overestimate tho po
tential strength and ability of the people
for whom Hooker T. WnshlnRton lived nnd
worked, this biography of Doctor Wash
ington reflects clearly the possibilities for
development possessed by the American
negro and tho limitations which Doctor
Washington, at tho cost of bitter opposi
tion, rceognlred.
Although the greater part of tho volumo
Is devoted to Doctor Washington's work
as head of Tuslccgee Institute, tho pages
narrating his activity ns propagandist and
organizer of a higher communal Ufa among
hri people are particularly Interesting.
Without desiring to conceal his essential
opportunism, the writers portray Doctor
Washington as an educator who at all
tlmei sought to apply his educational ac
tivity to tho concrete problems at hand.
Doctor Washington Is shown above all
as tha man who rontlzcd at tho very be
ginning of his leadership and social min
istry that tho progress of his raco, like
progress In general, must be rooted firmly
In n higher economic llfo; that tho moral.
ethical and cultural growth of the negro
can never bo above his economlo standard
That Is why ho constantly preached tho
doctrine of work. Whether or not tho book
roveah a neglect on Doctor Washington's
part of tho higher spiritual needs of his
peonlo, It offers nmplo testimony of his
essential common sense which at all times
governed his labors to lift the negro to
an economlo level upon which a spiritual
structure could be safely built.
Tho book contains a profaco by Theo
dora Itoosevolt that Is a fitting trlbuto to
1 ho lato IcaJor of the negro raco.

his Inexhaustible activity and his versatile

a mcro youngster still remained known only
to a restricted clrclo of close frlonda and
to members of his family.
Rosamond Glider, a daughter of the au-tior-poct
of "Tho Now Day," gives to the
public, as If It wero their proporty, a sketch
of tho whole llfo of her father as It springs
out of tho letters ho wrote during his busy
life, one Interesting not only to tho pro
fessional nowspuper man, but to all those
who Indulge In literary work. The "Let
ters of Wchard Watson Olldor" Is indeed a
book of value to tho student of American
literature. It Is not only a collection of
letters written by ailder, but a study of Ills
llfo and his work,
A good part of tho book deals with the
work performed by Glider In the tenoment
houso Investigation committee, to which tho
aoernor of tho State of Now York ap
pointed him, "very much to my surprlao," ho
Writes; and with the question of Interna

Ills letters on these questions glvo an Idea

medical pedagogue, the professor of pathol
ogy at tho University of Manitoba, Gladly
at the call of emplro ho changes the ample
spaces of his northwestern prairies for the
crowded trenches of the Flanders' line; the
clean air, the safety, tho homely Joy, for

leisurely occupation for an unremittingly
toilsome exercise of his finest skill. Sacri
fice, yes; but not all sacrifice, on the testi

twenty-four hours of tho events recorded.
Not only are tho terror and horror of war

Ye Unlvaralty I'reaa, Naw Haven. ul,"r'
Mr. Tucker's contribution to tha rapidly
growing library of books on woman suf.
fraga is unique. On the very fjrst page
of his book he professes neutrality and
declares his Intention of discussing the
right of women to suffrage by constitu
tional amendment without touching upon
the very vital and very present phase of
the subject the Justice of woman's plaim
to suffrage. How admirably he succeeds
In sklrtlnff the dangerous pltfatls. which
one whq would consider the question Im
partial must meet, Is remarkable. Not
a single one of the generally known argu
ments for and against suffrage appears
anywnere in mo volume.
The book U really a series of Ave
lectures delivered by the author In the
Storrs Lecturo Course In the Law School
of Yale University early this year. The
original tltlo of tha lectures was "Local
Self-government" and the discussion was
Intended to show the demarcation of the
powers of the Federal and State govern
ments under the Constitution of the United
States, The proposed constitutional amend,
ment providing for woman BUffrase la
treated In tha bopk as one of the attempts
to break down the just equilibrium, be
tween the Btate and the Federal powers
and Mr. Tucker's conclusion Is "that the
attempt to bring about the right of suf.
rage for women by an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States is
opposed to tha genlu ot tha instrument
itself" becauM tha Constitution has given
to. each Staia tho powr to determine suf.

Ono of tho riewest In Doubloday, Pago's

primarily with America, his definitions nnd

War Into extonslvo consideration In Its
effect on socialism. Ho has admirably do

"When a movement Is In a state of con
fusion, obscured and torn by tho madness
of the larger world thnt mirrounds It, ono
docs not expect It to gie expression to Its

a movement Is caught unawares, shaken
and driven to action, stripped of non

strength nnd weakness The war will have
a profound Influence on socialism; It may
oven revolutionize tho revolutionists. What

from this conflict? What other conflicts do
thpy lead to7 What did the political candi
date moan by asserting that a vote for so
cialism Is a vote against war? What Is
meant by International socialism? Does

Vf "The primary colors," answers the

Wrong. Tho color expert will tell you, to
begin with, that then aro two sets of pri
mary colors, one for tho mixture of light
and one for the mixture of pigment. Mix
ing light Is an "additive" process, and when
you have mixed nil your three primaries the
result Is white. Mixing pigment Is a "sub
tractlvo" process, nnd the total of all three
primaries la black.
Oh, you were talking about the "sub
Irnctlve" process, were you? Well, even
when you nre mixing pigments out of the
old school paint box you don't pick out
red, blue nnd yellow not If you'ro really
scientific According to Mr. Lueklesch nnd
persons who really know the pigment pri
maries are purple, yellow and blue-green
Worse than that, "some," sayn Mr. Luc
klesch, "may prefer to ue tho term "pink
or 'mngenta' Instead of purple,' but the
huo li a. purple consisting of red nnd blue,"
Cven when you're mixing light there In a
chance for you to loso out both dh facts
and terms. Tho "additive" or light pri
maries aro red, green and btuo And If It
weren't for our absurd notion that "lolet"
has something to do with tho purples wo
could much better call them red, green and
violet
This In Just a sample of the novel facts
contained In "Color nnd Its Application1!,"

klesch, who Is a physicist In tho Nela Re

'"The Leathorwood God' is veritable
history, for it tells the truth and more
than the truth. It satisfies the reader's
demand for facts and it fulfils his cravings
for fantasy. It convinces us that the
novelist is the true historian and the real
biographer, and that such a novelist as
Mr. Howells, whether or not he wear the
aggressive label of realist, will be' con
sidered a leading authority upon tho
American life of which he writes. He has
written many novels during his long lit
erary career, he has .described and re
corded many aspects of humanity in many
parts of the world, but when he returns to
his native Ohio he writes a story that is
the very essence of his theory of life and a
very perfect example of his theory of the
novel. 'The Leatherwood God' is his
tory made alive in fiction." The Boston
Transcript.
