By Paul W. White. UP. Staff Corespondent New York,' March 16—(UP)—“Red” Lewis, who put Babuitt and Carol Kennicott and Gopher Prairie and Gantry in the American language, has writ ten a new novel. Witli the grace of the expres companies and HarcourtBrace, “Dodsworth” today will be on every book-dealer's shelf. Aside from literary merit, "Dodsworth” is notable for two reasons: first, it presents a citizen of the United States whom Sinclair Lewis actually likes, and second it comes so soon after the author's own domestic difficulties that one wonders how largely it is autobiographical. For "Dodsworth" is primarily a novel of marriage. The book opens as Sam Dodsworth, having made a million or so before he has turned the half century, sellff out his automobile business and elects to enjoy a sabat-1 ical year in Europe with his wife, Fran, Lewis' portaryal of Fran, the beer-maker's daughter who would be somebody and who accepted but scorned her husband, is one of the most caustic things he has ever done. We follow Sam and Fran to London, Paris, Venice —and the retired manufacturer learns what it means to sit in a hotel lobby. Surely if slowly, his wife turns to other men and Sam is left alone and miserable. In the end, after enduring much, Sam meets another, saner woman and the reader is provided with a happy ending. Dodsworth is handled sympathetically throughout. He is not a Bibbitt —and yet he is not very far removed from the back-slapping George F. But Dodsworth is in need of love and throughout- most of his years he is cheated of it. As hinted before the question of how far afield from his own life Lewis wandered for his material probably will be hotiy debated. All of which will not harm the sale of "Dodsworth.” On the same day that the latest

work of the veteran Lewis is published there arrives a first novel that, to state it mildly, is a wow. Reference is to “Dark Star"' by Lorna Moon I Bobbs Merrill). Miss Moon is to the typewriter horn and with equal facility she can write of such diversified things as young love, melodramatic murder, a spinster's repression, the malicious hatred of a colorless wife j toward her mother-in-law and self ! torturing adoration. It is customary to write of a firstnovel that it “show promise,” but I here the stencil is simply not to be used. "Dick Star” is all solid worth. Miss Moon herself is a highly paid Holywood scenario writer, but don't let that deter you. She is 4 feet. 11 1-2 inches tall, has been married three times, is of Scotch Ancestry and hetred hair is bobbed. Oh, yes, and her pet detestations are English accents, i fa' men, little dogs and the bedside manner. More or less personal: . . . H. C.

Wasney (United Press Staff Correspondent) I Washington, March 16 —(UP) —The | spring tourist season is about to open ! and motorists wil find about 50 varieties of gasoline pi ices in existence as they travel over the country. Statistics compiled by the American aut,.mobile association for the United Press today showed gasoline varies I in price from ten to twenty-nine cent- 1 a gallon in different localities and the j gas tax ranges from six cents in South Carolina to two cents in Wisconsin, Only, two states, Illinois and New York have no gas tax and Illinois will have one before 1 ng. It was estimated motorists would use more than 14,000, 000,000 gallons of gasoline this year, taxed at more than $300,000,000. There are 22,000,000 pleasure cars in the United States and 11,000,000 of them will be used for touring or trips during the open season. It was estimated each car will carry four vacationists or pleasure seekers and onethird cf the nation will take its recreation on wheels during 1929. The average day's run for a motorist is 234 miles, compared with, about 100 ten years ago. Good roads and smoother riding cats lengthened the distance. Tourists are expected to spend more than $3,500,000,000 in 1929. This staggering sum for vacations and plea-1 sure trips includes equipment and re-1 pairs for machines and living expen- i ses. Seven thousand American motorists ' will take their ears abroad to tour . the continent this year. Steamship lines have made special arrangements for handling motor cars and gasoline i prices in Europe are no longer a bar to travelThe American motorists abroad are I expected to spend $50,000,000. New Bridge To Link Wisconsin And lowa Great Falls, Mont., Mar. 15—(UP) — (U.K—Construction of one of the larg-! est suspension bridges in the middle j west will begin here this month. It ■ will connect this city with Marquette, | lowa. Contractors estimate that it will take 10,000 barrels of cement, 100 carloads of steel, 10 earloads of wire and 10 carloads of lumber for the falsework construction. The bridge will be 6,000 feet long and will carry a load equal to that of I a 15-ton truck for every 50 feet. It is expected to be ready for traffic in the summer of 1930.
