After accomplishing bis work there in seven months, ho returned to London, where ho became managing director or chief consulting engineer of a score of min ing rompanies. One of bis large un dertakings was in the t'rnl Mountains in Itussia, where the mining company sustained n population of 170,000. The company was bankrupt. Hoover restored its solvency, and raised the big popu lation from poverty to comfort. In Itiirnm he took hold of n deserted mine in ii jungle nnd made it the foremost producer of its kind. He had to build eighty miles of railroad and organize at the mine everything needed for its working. He bad HO. 000 men working for him during this period. In 1014, when the war broke out, he nnd his associates had in their employment about 1".",000 men. for he had risen from a mining engineer hired by n re taiuer into an owner of mining enter prises. He has maintained an office, nnd office staff in London. New York and San Francisco, and before the war it was his custom to make frequent vis its to these oflioe. ns well as to his Lon don office.

It is a speedily moving story of involved plot and dramatic action and. too, it is n moving picture of New York in onn of its environments nnd phases of life. It puts into print Hroadwny a Hrondway thnt has passed temporarily, mnybe permanently. The situations nre plausible and the characterizations well done. "Harry Lercy" is the newest his torical novel from the pen of II. C. Hniley. whose "The Hlghwnymnn",nnd "The Gamesters" won favor of the mul titude of readers who like "period" fic tion. The titular hero U un Irish ml venturer in the service of France, like many of bis exiled countrymen from the flight of "the wild geese" nfter English conquest of Limeiick. "tho city of the Violated Treaty," up to Napoleonic times. It Is this last era that provides the period for Mr. Hallcy's book. Nn polcou is a prominent personage In the story nmr the hero's lack of fear of the Little Corsican brightens the pages. Admiral Nelson is another prominent figure. Napoleon's abduction nnd ex ecution of the Due d'Knghien Is part of the historical rnbstanee of the nar rative. With such material, and a quaintly witty, courageously daring hero and a lovely, whimsical, wayward heroine, it will be smnll wonder if this novel is a great success. "Outside Inn." by Kthel M. Kcllcy, is n chinning -novel of sentiment, ro manre and humor for early summer rending. Somebody has said of Miss Keller's book that "Outside Inn" is more than n restaurant, it's an institu tion. A course of true love that doesn't run smooth, big money nnd some ex citement nre the . ingredients. Tho writer's touch is light but firm, her sense of characterization is keen nnd her dialogue is crisp, spirited and often witty. "Rebels" is a fact-story, more real istic, but no less absorbing than fiction, of an individual's plunge itito anarchy and dash out ag.iiu. The story is told by the girl in question. Marie (ianz, who writes it in collaboration with Nat J. Ferbcr. It is a dramatic narration of life in New York's lower East Side its hardships, its actualities, its dreams, its ideals, its mistakes, its resentments nnd its rebellions.

The stories vcrc writ ten over the years of the present cen tury almost up to the date, of his un timely and lamented death.

Then the author's justly celebrated- "dog story." "The Bar Sinister." is included, ns well ns two other stories which will ap peal to husky young America. Molly coddles will probably not like these stories. But they're fine for the great majority of other American boys. As Augustus -Thomas says in tho introduc tion, they are "safe stuff to give to a young fellow who likes to take off his hat and dilate bis nostrils and feel the wind in his face.

CURRENT PROBLEMS Boohs' on Labor, Civilization, Socialism and Freedom From the public utterances and writ ings of Samuel Oompers of the past twoscorc years Hayes Robins lins com piled on n topical basis nnd classifica tion the policy, program nnd platform of the president of the American Fed eration of Labor. Really the book is the philosophy of lnbor movements and of lnbor problems in America." It Is called "Lnbor and the. Common Wel fare," and states Mr. Oompers's Ideas and ideals concerning his cause. It Is n monumental piece of industrial states manship. Under such general heads as "Labor nnd the Community." "Lnbor and the Law" nnd "The Political PhU losophy of Organized Labor," Mr. Oom pers s views are appositely excerpted from a multitude of speeches and writ ings. The book is very interesting, nnd should be read not only by those inter ested in its standpoints, but by those opposed, In order to get n fair nnd de fined Idea of just what organized labor means nnd is doing In this country. "Socialism versus Civilization" is by Boris Brasol, who, in tho words of Thomas Nixon Carver, professor of political philosophy nt Harvard, writer of the introduction, "has performed a useful service' in bringing this lesson home to the American people. He comes tVi his task with nn unusual enuinment. having studied the literature of Marx ism and tuc propagandist mctnods ot Marxism In several different countries." With the present deep contemporary In terest in just what relation political socialism bears to American institu tions, when such men ns Chnrles K. Hughes nnd Lieutenant Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt oppose their 'pnrty rep resentatives In the New York Assembly In the ousting of Socialist assemblymen, and when men arc divided on this line of demarcation, Instead of on the usual lines of party politics, etc., this book has very pertinent interest. - ' In "The New Freedom," Francis Nellson urges thnt the state take mo nopoly values and free industry from taxation, that community-created val ues be given to the community nnd that the Individual receive the full value of Ills product. Thus, on this thesis, lie' would restore what he calls natural rights and further the regaining of what he defines as economic freedom, nis book shows marked scholarship and Is brilliantly written.
