I.enry, .Tr., lms written n book nbout Colonel lloosevplt which Ii Invaluable to oil those who wish to know ns much as posslblcnbout the mnn n well ns to those, who wish to under stand the course of American politics In recent vonrs. Mr. Lcary, who has been nn editorial writer on the Boston Post, the New York Tribune, and the Sew York World, know "Mr. Ilooscvclt Intlnatcly for many yearn. lie kept n scries of notebooks In which he wrote dnn ii accounts of his conversations with the colonel, in the course of which ninny things were said that could not he published nt the time, but which repealed a point of view that U most Illuminating when read now. Besides, the colonel unM many things about men in public llfu that would have made trouble if they had been printed nt-tlie time they were uttered. For example, if what he thought of Hughes had been printed In 1010, every Democrat In the country would have" shouted with glee, yet the colonel sup ported Hughes for the presidency. He supported Governor Whitman and Major Mitcliel In New York, but he was not under nny illusions about them. Whitman infant have had the presi dency, he said, if ho hnd devoted him self to the business of being governor lnxtead.if thinking all the time whether wlmt he did would help him get the presidential nomination. And Mnyor Mitchcl was defeated for re-election because he lost contact with the peo ple. The colonel told Mitcliel of the mistakes he wns maklns, but his advice was not taken and the opposition, which characterized Mitcliel ns the mnyor of Fifth avenue, succeeded in defeating him largely on that ls.-rtic. Secretary Uaker was a weakling, un fitted for his poit in the War Depart ment, but was just the kind of n mnn the President liked to have nbout Irlm. He would agree with the President and If the President changed hi mind linker would change his- own mind at once. He had no positive views on his duties and responsibilities or, if lie had, was incapable of fighting for them. Mr. f,cnry tells how the break be tween Tnft and Hooscvclt came about and describes the delight of the colonel when Toft found him In h Chicago hotel nml greeted him heartily and agreed with him in denunciation of the Micillntluj; policy In Washington. There is no more intimate picture of Hoosevelt than this which Mr. I.cary hns given.

Southern View of Wilson After reading Processor Dodd's book on President Wilson one ennnnt help wondering whether the President is pleased with this sort of an undlscrimi Bating tribute. Professor Dodd, who occupies the rhnir of American history in the Uni versity of Chicago, is a southerner, nnd, uhctherlip is a Democrat or not, he Is nn nrdent ndmlrer of Wilson nnd of the South. Both predispositions color every page of his narrntlve a narrative which lie announces iu the preface "is nVsigHcil to be n brief history of recent times as well as a cluonlcle of a great career." His attitude toward the South Is indicated in the course of his discus Mnn of the kind of support which Mr. WiNnn had reason to expect from his party. "If the position of the Demo erotle party was difficult indeed iu every am thorn stnte," writes Professor Dodd, "its iipport In the South seemed secure. Hut tills meant that the older nnd more rigid protestnnt pnrts of the country, the iniiseratlve. native-born. English -"peaking groups of the composite nation, jwiiihl be nligned behind the new regiihc.

WOODROW WIt.SON AND HIS WOHK. fly Profersor William n. Dodd. Garden City: Doubleday. Page & Co. S3. Leonard Wood . If Leonard Wood Is not nominated for the presidency It will not be for lack of campaign biographies. .Four lives of tho distinguished general have already come from the press. The latest is by John G. Holme, n Washington newspaper writer. Mr. Holme in 225 pages has told tho romantic story bf the rise from obscurity to world fame of the bpy born in New England fifty-nine .tnrs ago. Aside from Its relation to the political campaign, the bdbk Is nn In spiring story of achievement typically American, for it bIiowh how n man by sheer merit can force himself upward from the mnss and win the recognition of the world. Mr. Holmo hns given us nothing not known before. He hns merely put tho story Into nn entertain ing narrative. A fifth book nbout General Wood, which is so thin that it hardly deserves ttTbc called a book at all, Is by Herman Hngedorn. He calls it "That Human Being, Leonard Wood," nnd Iu it he has attempted with distinguished sue- i cess to nresent n nlettire nf tlm mnn. The story of how Oenernl Wood settled the labor trouble in Gary is told so fully enough to rail in love, too, witu me that It ought to be instructive to every chief's daughter, herself by no means executive officer charged with tholdutylan alnnteur nt analyzing nnd detecting of keeping order. Those who do notN'rlme. A gang of hardened nnd clever wish to spend the time to read the larger "cimlnnls form tho opposing forces nnd volumes wl 1 find In Mr. Hneednrn'n book just thnt picture of the man for which they hnvo been seeking.

Stable Prices Irving Fisher, professor of political economy at Yale University, is con fident that he has discovered a plan for solving the problem of the high cost of living. His plan, if it were adopted, would, according to his belief, prevent great fluctuations In prices ns measured by the dollar. Among the causes which Are responsible for the variation In tho purchasing power of the dollar is the fluctuation in the value of gold. The value of the present dollar, of course, Ih largely dependent on the value of the gold In which it is redeemable. Pro fessor Fisher's plan Ir, In brief, to aban don the present system under which the nmount of n group of commodities pur chasable by n fixed amount of gold varies from tlmo to time nnd to estnb lish In its place n system by which n variable amount of gold would purchase n fixed nmount of n group of com modities nnd to hnvo nn nrbitrnry dollar redeemable iu gold, with the dollar worth at all times the variable amount of gold needed to keep prices uniform. Thus If tne Index number of the prices of his group of commodities increased 1 per cent Professor Fisher would have the amount of gold to be pnld in re demption of n dollar certificate in creased by 1 per cent. If the index number fell 1 per cent he would hnve the nihount of gold pnid In redemption of the dollar reduced by the same amount. There would bo readjustments every two weeks of the amount of gold to be paid for a dollar certificate. He gives an elaborate argument to support tlie feasibility of the plan, nnd quotes distinguished authorities who agree with him. The Ifest, however, that this re- I viewer can sny of the project is that it is nn Interesting attempt to devise n way by which yto overcome tho inevitable i lluetlintlons in value of the various commodities In common use and to pre serve the purchasing power of a tKcd jneoiuc. !

SPRINGTIDE FICTION OF VARIED APPEAL Plots Arc Laid in Such Diverse Places as ihe West of the U. S. and the Orient If the Northwest hns Its Ilex Beach, Jnmcs Oliver Ctirwood, nnd Peter B. Ivyne, the Southwest Is not far behind In Its fictional celcbrators. Ono of the most knowing of them Is Jackson Greg ory, who hns written a corking good novel in "The Bells of San Juan." And It has nulflv-n novc touch for the locale, top. The hero Is n woman and a decidedly modern one. Tho location Is uecidedly modern one. Tno location is fan old Mexlcau border town nnd this hero-heroine is n woman surgeon who takes a prominent part in tho romantic anu hazardous life of tne rommuiiiij from the time she hangs her sign out. There Is n co-hero too, n man whose courage is tested In his endeavors to worst a villain aiming to lbot the town. Sir. Gregory's Btory,, hns unusual literary distinction for tills type of talc of action. And the action Is not sugar coated by the style at that. Edgar Wallace, who has .written a lot of them, has surpassed himself ns a contriver of mystery stories In "Green Bust." The heroine finds herself tins central figure in n conspiracy which has for its purpose nothing less thnu the wrecking of the world. The title hns to do with n mysterious discovery which Is to bo tho agency of destruc tion. The situations pile one thrill atop anotlier ami tho nutiiors trained lacuuy of holding suspense keeps the render guessing as to what Is coming next till the unexpected but loglcnl nnd plausible climax is reached. "The Grey Mask" Is nnothcr mystery story, a somewhat different sort ofde tccllve thriller. The detective In Wads worth Camp's new novel Is not on In fallible Hawkshaw, not n 100 per cent ratloclnntlve Holmes. He is a human being who does something not at all customary in sleuth fiction he makes mistakes. As somebody says nbout hi in, he hns u boy's heart under his badge. Tnis is a nice angle of approach for ft detective Btory,. since many boyish henrts arc nnxioi)s to have badges over tlicm. and In lieu of that to read the exploits of detectives. He is human now tno nero nnd tno girrs,euoris to round them up and end their career of terrorism entanglo nnd finally are straightened out forms the basis nnd substance of nn adroitly told detective story. B. SI. Bower's gifts of Intimate com munication with the West, with a sym pathetic insight 'into western character nnd n touch of humor to savor it, ore revealed ogain in "Rim o the World." The hardiness nnd directness nnd bhiff ness of the western character are matched by the robust quality of the comedy passages, and there Is some relieving sentiment which is not sugary or mawkish. The locale Is n part of Idaho where tha terrain is shut iu by desert waste and mountain ranges. A feud, business nnd social, between two families, one n somewhat reformed "bad" family, with some stigma yet, backgrounds the story, and of course there is nn ameliorating and fiunlly harmonizing love theme between young er members of the families. The author has filled the story with abundant hap penings, nnd the reader of this class of story will find many n thrill in Its pages. It, Is wcu up to the writer's standard, Vis divulged in many n previ ous book of notion.

' The hero ine is n girl with n musical talent which is smothered in the boom town of her origin. So she migrates ns near ns she can to the Sictropolltan Opera House, Cnrncgto Hnll and the nrtlstlc congeries of SInnhnttau. Her experiences there, her reactions to culture nnd cults, her endeavors' to remove the vnrlous im peding bushels from her talent, are told with a nice sense of proportion nnd glinting humor. SIlss Mix apparently knows the life. She is not "kjddcd" by pseudo-geniuses, but she is tolerant In tier nttltudes. And she has written n rcnlly worth-while story with new angles on old material. Tim mvsterlotiN nnd invstie and mvs- Itlfylng Orient Is the background nnd the Impulse of "The Kyc of Zcltoon," roen of Talbot Slunday's complexes of mystery, adventure nnd romance. Air. Slunday docs this sort of story very well with reminiscences of the creepy thrills and chills of Rider Haggard, but with out 'any imitation of Allan Quatcruialn, Ayesha and the other heroes and sor ceresses of Haggard's classics of their kind. A diabolical woman who has many charms she would bo n sort of vamp on the screens of the Occident is a particular Interest-compelling fig ure. And there Is n hero who Is a hero, resourceful, intrepid, nnd other characters who are much better devised and developed Than Is curftomary in purely adventure stories. There is n serious touch, too, concerning the hardi hood of the Armenians in their conflict with the Turks. An engaging nnd en thralling story is this. TIIU EYR OF ZE1TOON. Hv Talbot Mun- day.

Some of the best baseball short stories ever penned hVc those In "Score By Innings" and tho "Old Mnn Curray" series are Aplendid ynrns of the track. His posthumous volume, "Taking the Count," is a rich nnd recondite record of happenings In the squared circle. In style and form, in all the externals -of short fiction, these readable pieces are sharply clean cut, bristling with the racy humor of tho ring nnd its hand-picked, richly colored language. But beneath the sur face It Is the homely frailties and vir tues of mankind thnt arc tho design on which Mr. Van Lonn weaves the threads of hi3 talcs of Bport life.
