This may be considered a poor season for a reviewer to come around shouting about a book that costs $lO. but we're willing, in this case, to toss discretion to one side and shout anyway. The book in question is called “The Science of Life,’’ and is a sort of companion work to “The Out- ] line of History." The authors are H. G. Wells, Julian S. Huxley and G urge P. Wells. There are two volumes, handsomely and solidly bound, and the publisher is Double-day-Doran. It is an even more thorough work than Wells and Elder's history. The three authors have perspired over it; that much is evident. They have included everything from a discussion of elemental physiology, of> ecology, man's war on disease and the various phases of “pyschology," down to spiritualism and its aspects. They will t il you more about y.our alimentary canal than did G orge S. Chappell, and he went through tic tiling with gun ] and camera. Ten dollars a lot of money to I pay for books, but we may be so ! bold as to suggest that four or five novels cost that much. Ten dollars, after ail. isn't too much to pay for a college course. Aa l that's about what you'll get in 'The Science of Life.” — Speaking of novels, Manuel Komroff is back with a stirring tale called “Two Thieves” (Coward-Mc-Cann). Komroff, from the recesses of his fertile imagination, has con- | jured up the story of the two men ! who died on the cross at either side of Christ. The events leading up to their crucifixion are treated dramatically and with little reference to th» obscure "mountain preacher" who died witii th in. The book clubs passed up a good bet in “Two Thieves." For the detective story fan, or for anyone interested in crime and its ramifications, two books are currently published. Dutton brings out “The Underworld of Paris," a quite morbid treatise written by i Alfred Morain, prefect of police in Paris, it has been writt; n from | official records and contains a number of gruesome photographs, to ] say nothing of thrilling anecdotes. I "Behind the Green Lights,” by | ICapt. Cornelius W. Willemse, of.; the New York police department,] is issued by Alfred A. Knopf. Willemse, for a score of years, has been known as the “gang-buster" and his autobiography, carefully I put together, treats of such Gotham thugs as Kid Dropper, Little Angle and even U'gs Diamond. Century is bringing out a now edition of Donn Byrne's “Stories Without Women." first publish'd in 1915. First editions of the book have brought as high as $175. . . . "Home Guidance for Young Children,” a sane and intelligible discusion of child psychology, is recommended to parents of children! under six. It was written by Grace! Langdon of Columbia University] and is publish'd by John Day. . . .1 Appleton will issue a four-volume] series titled "Old New Orbans,”] done in the manner of Edith Wharton’s “Old New York. An outline of misinformation, also called “A Gulden Treasury of Errors,” is i to be brought out soon by the Vile- 1 ing Press. o_ . Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Sanders of Decatur Route 5 were business visitors I in this city today.

Miss Anna E. Hussey, director of homemaking operates her classes on the principle that the 13-year-old girls have a share in the home and family life. The more put into it the greater happiness they derive, aside from the benefits to other members of the family. Miss Hussey holds. In her home economics classes she teaches courtesy, how best to spend spare time, how to lighti i*n mother’s work, hoy to entertain I the younger children and how to ' prepare foods. The courtesy classes have | aroused the most enthusiasm. Miss: j Hussey said. With an eye to I 'debutante days, the girls are eager! to know what to do when receiving and entertaining friends. I Tlie project method was brought I into play, and furious social situations were unreeled in approved tprm. Young daughter is hostess of te occasion, and she uses all the little tricks that contribute to i I lie word “charming." I " (Marriage Slump Worries Town Jamestown. N. Y.
