January Ellice. even nt the middle -teens age at which she is introduced, is n iacious, witching little body. She is a waif of thc Australian bush. In a gold camp of West Australia she mar ries a rakish young mining engineer, and her portion instead of being the joy aunce of jouth. is trial apd sorrow. Bo munce comes into her difficult existence through the glowing personality of John Beresford, a good deal older than Jan uary, whose loo for her is great, but is exceeded by his sense of honor. He will not match his worldly knowledge and sophistication against her imma turity in the world's ways and her naivete of temperament. He goes to war with the Anzacs and wins distinc tion nt riallipoli. His return to Australia brings real love at last into January' life.

Brand Whitlork, In one of his most admirable stories, "Fowler Brunton, Attornej -at-Law," concluded that corporations were all mind, cud , so they must perforce have a psychology. The corporation, as an abstraction, is a sort of intellectual creation built by legal Frnnkcnsteins out of the original eighteen fine prlhted pages which suf ficed Blackstone- to set forth the be all nnd cndfnll of the bodv corporate as he understood it. Those few pages have bred whole law libraries, to say noth ing of endless volumes of stntuten. Thorstein Veblen, liberal, has psKho ana1)7cd corporations as a part of "The Vwted Interests," under which title Is collected his papers in "The Dial" on "The Modern Point of View nnd the New Order." The book publication permits expatlatlnn on some points. The original papers follow the argument of a series of lectures delivered at Amherst. The scope of the volume is shown In a few words of the author: ','Thls lol unie shows how and why a discrepant' has nrisen bettwen those orcppti'd prin ciples of law nnd custom that underlie business enterprise nnd the businesslike mnnngement of industry, on the onp hand, and the material conditions, which hae now been engendered by thnt new order of industry that took its rise in the late eighteenth century, on the other hand; together) with some speculation on the M1 and political difficulties set afloot by this discrepancy between business and Industrj." The author takes advanced ground in ills thinking. Other things besides capitalism, cor porations and M'sted rights from the business standpoint are considered in this stimulating little book for instance nationality, imperialism and self-determination, all of which are related to Mr. Veblen's mnjor thesis. the i BSTiin iNTnnrsTK let Ion New York 11 W n Thorstein Huebsch SI ATHLETES ALL Walter Camp Writes Excellent Booh on Value of Athletics Walter Camp adds another epistle to his gospels of thc healthy life in "Athletes All."

Howetcr. he does not disdain ghlng informative instructions in va rious sorts of exercises. He also ex plains the organization of athletics in schools, clubs and other community groups.

ATHIETEH A1.I H Walter Camp Vew lurk: Charles Srrlbner's Sons. $1 00 The Erotic Motive The application of the Freudian theory of dreams to the interpretation and explanation of literature is the subject of an arresting book by Albert Mordell. He calls it "The lirotle .no- tive In Literature." and he professes to find in most unexpected quarters. revelations of sex motive and sex sjm bollsm. Longfellow and Browning, not usu ally regarded as eroticists, Mr. Mor-1 dell tel's us were influenced even more than the) knew bj their sex life in what the wrote and the wn the) wrote it. "How they brought the good1 news from Ghent to Aix, for example, he says is an erotic poem. Ills ex planation of this is found in his theory that literature is a personal voice, the source of which can be tract'd to the unconscious. He sa.vs that we have even the most bestial instincts in a rudimentary stage and that they are revived, to our surprise, not oui) in mil Hrenms. hut in our waking thoughts and also occasional! in our conduct. ' The sediment of this primitive life appears in man) books without the au thor being aware of the fact, and "thus a deterministic influence prevnils in literature." Mr. Mordell elaborates his theory with examples from many liter atures. Whether one agrees with him or not bii book; will be fascluatlug to the student of p8)cbolog). THE EtlOTIC MOTIVE IN LITERATURE ly Albirt Mordell New York: lk.nl k Llverllht 1 7ft Confiscation Defended The Inherftanro tax is justified on the theory that the state has the right to decide how much or how little that a man has accumulated he may trans mit to his heirs. There is a school of thinkers, impressed by the practice of the state In taking lor pumic use a cer tain percentage of a decedent's estate,1 who urge that tne staic biiouici raue n all. Harlan Eugene Read belongs to this school. In "The Abolition of Inheri tance" he hns written a plea for the seizure by the state ot all property; in the possession of a man at the time of his death. He asserts it to be a human right "that all workers are entitled to all reward; land all transfer of money without service, in whatsoever form audi transfer takes, is a direct viola tion of that right." Ills book is an elaboration of this proposition. It de aerrea the attention of all those who L n I.HAnr llhat tl,J Vf.tt1d wa' thinking about. THB ABOMTION1 OF INHERITANCE, '8y r J- !.
