Ho began his business career with tho John Deere Implement and Vehlclo Company, of Mollne 111., with whom he continued for twenty years. During a greater part of this twenty years ho sold the Deere Company products to dealers. He rose to tho position of west ern manager of the company, with head quarters at Kansas City. From that posi tion he went to tho Dulck Motor Company as manager of tho Kansas City branch, and subsequently to Flint as tho company's gen eral sales manager. He continued In that position until last year, when ho was made assistant to Presl dent W. C. Durant, of the General Motors Company. While Mr. Colllns's greatest ef forts have been along the merchandising line, yet ha has acquired a good knowledge of manufacturing cars. Kitchenette Cookery Many cook books adequately cover all the details connected with the preparation of meals In the ordinary way, but un to tha present little thought has been given to the woman who Uvea In a two-by-four apartment and must provide nourishing and attractive meals In a kitchenette of pro portlonata size. "Kitchenette Cookery," by Anna Merrltt East, alms to do this, and as tha author's knowledge of her subject Is based on practice and not theory, It should meet the demands of even tho most Inexperienced cliff dweller. The book not only tells what to cook In such a kitchenette and how to cook It. but takes up the more difficult problem of what to buy and how much to buy when cooking for a very abbreviated family. And In addition, simplo menus for hurried break fasts, for box luncheons and for. tha more elaborate evening meal are suggested. Altogether, tha book, Interppersed as It is by explanatory Illustrations, win prove a boon to many youhjr wives Just beginning their home-making or to tha business woman whose education haH not heretofore tnoluded home economies.

"TlHE Germans," said I, "have a fancl JL ful tale about somo grubs In tho mlro at tho bottom of a pond dlscusslnu what happened to their fellows which roso to tho stirfaco nnd disappeared. Ono grub Insisted that they simply vanished Into nothingness, nnd another, which did not wish to bcllevo that this was tho end of everything, Insisted that tltcro must bo another realm Into which their vanished companions entered. It was iiRreed then that tho next ono lo mount to tho mirfiiri should return nnd innko a repnrt of what there was In tho Great Unknown. Hut notio has over returned. Yet tho devil's darnlnc needle, hatched from tho grub, Is continually sklmmlne; over tho siirf.tco of tho water ln a vnln effort to penctrnto Its depths and toll tho grub from which ho grerw that there Is a land of light nnd minshlno above tho diivkness nnd rnuolc Wo hail been talking of tho dead sol diers and tho longl'ik' that their friends must feci for some nnsurnnco that they have not been annihilated, that the heroic souls llvo on in homo other sphere, com pleting nnd fulfilling the llfo that has been so cruelly cut off here. "Of counic I believe thcro Is n future life," Doctor Alrl-'abro temarked. "That is what my religion teaches mo. Thero nro moments, however, when my faith does not sntlsfy my Intellect. I wish thcro wero some way to pinve It as you can prove a mathematical formula." "Sir Oliver Lodgo thinks ho has proved It," said I, "and he Is convinced that hla son, killed In battle, lias communicated with him." "Yes, I know," Doctor JIcFabro went on, "but he was eager to bo convinced. I have never et seen any evidence of a futuro llfo that would cnnvlnco a man against his will. Very little of that which has been offered will ntnnd examination, and that which Is not clearly hallucina tion can be explained by well-known nnd ndmltted principles of metaphysics." "Emtio Hoirac, rector of tho academy of DIJon, would bo Inclined to agree with you," said I. "His book on tho unknown or little known forces of tho mind, which tho French Academy of Sciences honored by the award of tho Fanny Umilcn prizo of 2000 ft ones, has recently been trans lated Into Iiugllsh. It reports tho lesult of a lonn series of experiments In mag netism, telepathy, suggestion and spirit uallhtn. Professor Rolrao himself had somo remarkable experiences with sensi tive subjects which ho explains ns duo to mesmerism or hypnotism or telepathy. He says that tho automatic writing which tho spiritualistic mediums produce may bo explalnod at times as tho reproduction of matter within the mind of tho medium, which hns been Implanted thcro without the medium's knowledge. To show that this Is possible he cites several cases of persons who liavo descilbod scenes of which they have no recollection. Yet In vestigations mado by tho Psychical Ito search Society proved that they had vis ited the scenes which had been impressed on their subconsciousness and had later come to tho surface either In a dream or when ln n semlhypnotic stato occasioned by crystal gazing. Professor Boirnc does not try to provo nn thing, but simply to show that thero Is a mass of facts which need explanation. Ho says they can bo explained only by study of them ln tho scientific spirit." "Ills book must bo worth -reading," said Doctor McFabro. "It Interested a llftecn-year-old girl to whom I read parts of it aloud," said I. "But alio wus frank enough to admit that somo of tho passages did not convey any meaning to her." "You could not expect her to under stand it all," said Tho Lady, who had joined us a few moments beforo, nlong with Dorothy Owen. "Yes, but when I told her of tho oulja board or planchette, which spirltuallstiis modlums sometimes Ube, she wanted mo to got ono for her rlgnt away." "I have wiltten tomo woozy things with a oulja board," said Dorothy. "It is a most curious Implement," said Doctor JIcFabre. "Fiedeilc W. II, Myers in his book on human personality de scribes tho case of a man who had been hypnotized and told that when hq camo out of tho tranco ho must wrlto a sen tence with tho board. A book was put ln his left hand when ho recovered con sctousness, and his right hand, hidden by u screen, was placed on tho planchette. While his conscious mind was occupied with the book his unseen hand wrote part of tho sentence." "That is not so remarkable as the re ported achievements of a oulja board that operated iii St. Louis," said I. "Can any good thing como out pf St. Louis?" usked Doctor McFabre, whoso French ancestry makes him auspicious Just now of any place where the Ger mans live. "There are people in St. Loula who say that this is a very great thing," said I. "Somebody using the planchette has written a novel of 300,000 words." "Why did not ho or she use a pen In stead of going to all that trouble?" Dor othy wanted to know. "Tiiat remains to be explained," said I. "But the story on its surfaco Is most in teresting. It begins four years ago when Mrs. John H. Curran, a woman of a nervous 'temperament, with no literary experience, was amusing Mrs Emily Grant Hutchinson with tho oulja. Mrs. Hutchinson has written a numbor of sto ries and is said to have considerable lit erary ability. Suddenly the oulja, which had been spelling out sentences of no particular importance, wrote theso words) 'Many moona ago I lived. Again I come, Patience Wortfc is my name.' ratience waa most reticent about herself, but (n the course of time she used the oulja frequently with Mrs. Curran and Mrs. Hutchinson operating H she admitted tnat ana uvea in me middle of tho sev. enteenth century. Bhe wrpta tores ana JWSJBJ scribed ns archaic, yet It is such a dialect ns no ono over beforo used in wrltlngf Ungllsh. Sho uses nouns ln placo of verbs, makes grammatical errors and somotlmcs Is Incoherent. Casper S. Yost, editor of tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat, wroto a book about her a few months ago. In July of 1010 sho began to die tato a novel. As It was spelled out with tho planchetto Mrs. Curran's husband wroto It down. Mrs. Curran nlways had her hands on tho planchetto when It was writing. She was not disturbed by con versation In tho room, and sho even en gaged In It whllo her hands moved the planchette. Patience would spell out from 2.100 to 3500 words of her story in an hour and a half or two hours." "That Is moro than I could wrlto with a pen," said Doctor McFabro. "It Is pretty fast writing, Ono evo- nlng sho hpellrd out C000 words. Dickens used to think Hint 500 words wan a good day'n work, but ho had to think about what ho was writing. Patience ndmltted that she prepared In ndvnnco what sho had' to say and It flowed forth as If she wern lending It from manuscript," "How do you explain It?" asked Dor othy. "I don't," said I. "If Professor llolrao should bo able to mako an Investigation with his knowlcdgo of telopathy and sug gestion ho might form u theory which would explain Patience Worth. Ho says that when a namo Is given to a subcon conscious perhonallty It manifests Itself moro rcudlly than when unonymous. It In worth noting, however, that tho book about Patience and Mrs. Curran was writ ten nt about tho tlmo Patience) Is' said to liavo begun dictating her long novel. You may draw what Inferences you please from this." "Is the novel worth reading?" The Lady wanted to know. "Yes, If you, have timo to spare. It Is not easy reading because of tho curious style. Tho story is about Jesus and begins with Ills birth and ends with His crucinxlon. A man who read tho manu script says it has every characteristic of a contemporaneous document, but it is difficult to bellevo that a Greek slave, who is ono of tho characters, could have been ublo to talk about tho Infant Jesus In the terms which orthodox clergymen liavo been ln tho habit of using Blnco the Christian religion assumed deflnlto form. Tho story might be called an allegory, for tho Greek slavo hears a Bon ln Beth lehem on tho samo night that Jesus was born. Sho names him Hato and says that Jesus, who Is Lovo, will overcomo hate nnd that it will disappear from the world. If It had been written In straightforward Ihigllsh tho story would doubtless be as popular as 'Hen Hur.' It is ns dramatic as Lew Wallace's story. Its stylo in awk ward and involved, savo now and then whon Patlenco, or whoever wrote it, seems to forget herself. Thon thcro Is half a pago or so that moves ahead ln straightforward English. Tho author might liavo studied John Lyls 'Eu phties for sho has written ln euphuisms. This Is -a fair hample." And I read: to attack us were about ns ill prepared as our own. Hut If a body of trained soldiers had been ln arms across the border It would have mado short work of disposing of our amateurs. Mr. Haleheldcr Is convinced that tha only way to creato an army Is through compulsory service of somo kind, and that the training of such an army should begin without delay. Those who agree with him will find much to support their position be tween the lines of his nnrratlve of experi ences ns well ns In the pages In which he formally pets down his views. The book Is a good preparedness tract. WATCHING AND WAITING ON THR TlOlt nnit. llv Itouor llatchlilr. "-rrlvato ma rhlna nun company. Hlhth MasaaeliuaM ,s Jtea-lmi-nt. National (iuar.l.

Ho has told tlm story In the form of n diary thnt ho kept from the departure of the troop from the city on July 6 till Its return on .Innunry 10. It will bo of nbsotblng Interest to all the friends of the troopers. Almost ovcry trooper Is mentioned lit It, nlways In a pleasant and good-natured manner.

And tho still was broken by the borrow-broath of Thola. And Panda brought forth hla pipe and whispered unto tho night. And tho notoa sobbed and dripped with tears. And tho Day drank from out tho Night's chalice, nnd dra'ned tho star-wlno, and the cheek of morn burned with Its gold. "Thela Is tho Greek slave and Panda Is her Arabian servant. Tho book Is full of tills sort of thing. Thcro Is poetic Imagl. nation, ns in tho description of tho notes of tho shepherd's plpo sobbing nnd drip ping with tears, and thero is sophomorlo bathos. If tho book had been odltcd to one-half its size and put into simpler English It would undoubtedly have been a gicat popular success, provided nothing had been said about Patience Worth and tho oulja board. And somebody might liavo dramatized it and enticed tho non thcatiegoing people to see a religious play. This may happen even under tho circumstances in which the novel has been put forth. You never can tell how far Interest in tho occult will carry peo pie." "I should llko to interview Patience," said Doctor JIcFabre. "Scores of persons have interviewed her," said I, "but she is a woman of quick wit and has nover been betrayed Into saying anything which would throw any deflnlto light on her Identity." GEOBOE W.

The guard was not organized for national service, its mem. bers did not enlist for any such purple and none of the laws which Congress has passed to federalize the guard has vltahy changed Its character.

Tho book will bo Interesting also to all those students of military affairs who are curious to know how the- young American nccustomed to tho refinements of llfo will behave when forced to live In n military camp, to dig trenches, to do a scullion's work In tho kitchen and to endure hardships that might have boon avoided if they had been willing to Bhlrk their duty ns citizens. Jlr. Brooko makes It clear that the troop played tho game according to the rules so far as they could find out what tho lules wero and when they did not know they played tho gamo In the spirit of democratic America. As a result it was possible for Captain Mc Fadden to toll tho tioor, on Its leturn that a regular army ofllcer remarked to him after an Inspection that It was tho finest troop of mllltla cavalry that ho had ever seen or ever expected to see. That Is tho kind of a compliment which those who know tho First Troop would expect nn expert to pay to It. Mr. Brooko tells of tha games played In tho lntorvals allowed for relaxation With considerable pride ho records how the polo team, composed of John Converse Harry Ingersoll, Wlstor Randolph and Bar clay McFadden, defeated the team com posed of picked officers of tho ,Se enteenth IL : ?"?,ry n1eB'ment' ""PPosed to bo tho best players in tho southwest Ho In troduces his volume wlm the ntltnlrablo hpeech which Captain McFadden delivered to the troop In tho armorv on law Wash Ington s Birthday and ho illustrates it with many photographs taken : .t;,0 captain.

HENRY HARLAND ,HAS ASUCUUSSU An Englishman's First Novel Has the Charm of the Stories by Dead Russo-Americnn When Henry Harlarid died his mmynA mlrcrs looked nround In vain for another novelist who had his pecul ar charm. There was then none In sight. A Promising sue cessor has Just appeared In the person i of Coulson T. Cade, nn englishman, wl os i first no el, "Dandelions," Is written wl h .much of the graco of manner thnt Harland uc qulred In his later years. It Is nn 0""" poetic romanco untroubled by the proolems of sociology or tho higher ethics. Thero am risque passages ln It, but they are handled with a grace nnd lightness that cxcUKes them, Tho reader wno Knows uij there nro Irregularities In tho relation of voung men nnd young women, yet can for tho moment forget the conventionalities and look on the romantic sldo of them, will find great delight In tho book. The Irregular ities, howoer, occupy but a small part of tho tale, although the tendency to them In a father and son Is the moling purposo of tho plot. It Is tho story of an English baronet, thlrty-flvo years did when tho notion be gins, who has pursued tho prlmroso path of dalllanco nnd Is Just persuaded that ho ought to marry. Ho does marry and tho account of his wooing Is a beautiful Idyl. Ho has a son nnd Is soon nftcr killed by a fall from his horse The second part of tho tnlo deals with tho son, who nt tho end of tho book Is loft nt tho ngo of eighteen as bo takes his first step on the path his father trod In his own jouth. Mr. Cado is apparently Interested in all tho refinements of civilized life. He has a pretty tasto In architecture, In Interior decoration, In music, In painting, In poetry, tho drama, In food nnd drink, ln econery, In flowers, and above all ln charming women. Tho book Is full of Its manifesta tion so that as one reads It ono feels as though ono wero moving ln nn atmosphere saturated with all thoso things which give ploasuro to tho sunses nnd to tho Intellect. Ono gets n tasto of tho quality of JJr. Cade's ntylo from the opening sentence, which runs In this way: Curno Hall Is ono of the fow Kngllsh country mansions In tho building of which threo architects collaborated suc cessfully j they nover met each other, Tho book is full of i,uch surprising and penetrating turns of thought. It containu half a dozen characters that are dlstlnot creations. One or two of thorn appear briefly, but they aro as clearly drawn and stand out ns distinctly as tho leading per sona in tho action. If Mr. Cade can do an other novel as good as this ho will have a following th.u will await his next with ploasnnt anticipation. DANDKHONS. By Coulson T. Cade. Now lork; Alfred A. Knopf. August Magazines Tho cover of tho August Century is a re production of tho exquisite poster to which tho Century Company awarded a prize to Maxflcld Barrlsh moro than twenty years ago. Tho contents, howover, do not hark back bo far, save for a hitherto unpublished poem of Swinburne, written almost twice as long ngo as Parrlsh painted tho cover. Per haps tho most Interesting nrtlclo Just now is too ennracter sketch of Herbert Hoover, by Hugh Gibson. Other war articles aro on "How Wo Can Help France," by Herbort Adams Gibbons; on "Tho Problem of the American Farmer," by Frederick C. Howe, nnd on "Next Year's Food," by Prof. J.

The twenty-eighth nnnual fiction number of Bcrlbncr's Mngaztno contains stories by John Galsworthy, Henry Van Dyko and Ilobert Herrlck, among others, three famous names. Galsworthy has told a moving tale of a German girl ln London, a girl of the streots, who Is treated with kindness by nn English officer only to discover tho extent of tho hato which tho British bear tha Ger mans. It Is a story of human sympathy that should help us to keep allvo our kindly feelings for those against whoso Govern ment we nro fighting. Mr. Van Dyko writes of a dream In which man asserted that ho was tho supremo being In all creation and tells the consequences of his Impiety: and Mr. Herrlck hns a story of tho war.
