Clayten Krnst knows just nbeut what the avcrecc red blooded boy likes in his lletlen, but this does net mean that he writes down. Net at nil. His stories are net minus excitement, but they nre free from sen sationalism. The story of the new boy at Uidceley. the mjittery of the mark en his back, the .silent and inscrutable Chlncie Vho kidnap him, his popularity with the bi'js despite a couple of enemies he has made, and his prowess in me ni( toetnall game all these are in Krcdients in u rattling geed story of school life.

He and his comrade have many adventures, some romantic and some hazardous, and many experiences, some Interesting and some grueling. "Jimmy Quigg, Office IJey," is by Hareld S, Latham, whose "Marty Lends a Hand" vsas successful last year. Like its predecessor, the new book is about a latl who had the grit te make geed, nnd did se despite niaii obstacles nnil difficulties. Jimmy's family circumstances oblige him te get out nnd hiistlt' He gets a job that net only brings him Inte the dally routine of business, but also is the gateway Inte ether adventures, some of them unusual and all of them enthralling. There's a mysterj among ether things. Mr. Latham's here is no goody-goody boy, but lie is a wholesome example for hi jeung readers.

Mrs. Klehards has some of the quality ami taug of M'sh Alcott In her writings for growing girls. Alice Turner Curtis again turns te historical fields In her two new books for girls. "A Little Maid of Old Mnlne," is a new and welcome volume In the "Little Maid Stories." which have presented girlhood under the vari ous periods of American history. In this case it Is the time of the Ilcvolutleu and the heroine and her friend hrve many adventures. The ether book, "A Yankee Oirl nt Pert Sumter," tells of conditions in the Seuth just prier te the Civil War. In both these books the author presents ac curate pictures of the wns and cus toms nnd manners of the periods and much valuable authentic Information, but without nctually teaching or preach ing. The adventures of her characters also are plausible and free from the sensational. "Jehn Baring's Heuse," by Elsie Singimister, who has written several line Civil War stories, is a vivid narrative of Gcttjsburg tiajs. Hew Herbert und Llizabetli Scott clear their grandfather's name from the stain of treason makes the most vividly written and absorbing of Miss Singmastcr's juvenile stories.

Hiiccessful novelists seldom write books for children.

EDGAR LEE MASTERS VERSUS MARK WAIN The Sioen River Anthologist Challenges Comparison With a Much Greater Man If Mark Twain had net written "Tem Sawyer" Edgar I.ee Masters would net have written "Mitch Miller" These ncveutecri words contain all that It is imperative te tay nbeut the novel by Mr. Mnstcrs. Of the less pressing things that can be said, it may be re marked thnt it is the story of the ad ventures of two boys in Petersburg, III., the Lincoln country, iu 1888 nnd there nbeuts. They lmd read "Tem Sawyer" and planned te repent the exploits of Its here se far ns they could be re produced in a different environment. They tils for treasure and find it. There is a murder nnd Mitch is an essential witness. The boys run away from home te go te Hannibal and talk with Tem .Sawyer, whom they regard us a real person. And Mitch dies from injuries suffered while stealing a ride en n rail road train. The story is told by Mitch's boyhood friend and chum. It is written in the language of a boy, with occasional mis spelling of words nnd n phonetic spell ing of proper nnmes. Lincoln nlwnys nppenrs ns "Linkcrn." and Havanun ns "Havanncr." The final "g" in words lending in "ine" is always dropped, but nn npostrephe w inscrtetl te inuicnte the elision. Whether the npostrephe was inserted by Mr. Masters or the publisher's proofreaders insisted en it does net nppenr, but it is one of the many emnll defects which mnke it diffi cult te be convinced that the story is told by a boy. The general Impression produced is that it is n story told by a man who has net quite mastered the art of Impersonating the character whom he makes tell the talc. This Is a literary defect, but it does net destroy the in terest of the plot, nor the realism of the pictures of life In a rural Illinois town of the period. It is net easy te decide whether Mr. Masters wrote the book for boys or for ndults. He may have written it for both. Adults who spent their youth in it small town will find much In it te re tail the scenes nnd the tragedies and comedies of their childhood, and boys and girls will bu interested In it because with all its artistic defects it is n rea rea henablj faithful transcript of the emo tional nnd Jntellectunl life of children just entering their teens. It is handicapped by its acknowl edged indebtedness te n much greater bonk. It may be able te live down its paternity and survive en its own mer its ns a picture of American ceuntrj life n generation age. The book is co piously illustrated by Jehn Slean, with drawings after the manner of these In Mark Twain's classic of boyhood. MITCH MILl.i:n.

The Bible in Modern Life The aim of "The Bible's Message te Modern Llfe" is te show hew wonder fully the teachings of Jesus meet our present needs. It is due te the con viction of the authors that our social and political conditions, owing te the great war, are btrlklugly like these of the lleman world In the lirst Christian century, no in n simple but most sug aestlve way it is snewn new Jcsu treated nracticul subjects, as family and citizens' duties, the use of wealth, the mirsult of happiness and ncrt.emil re. spensibllity.

While Intended for cellege and adult classes mainly, it will greatly profit the senenil reader.
