Rafael Sabatini

Captain Blood carries on In Rafael Sabatinl’s “Captain Blood Returns," which has just been published by Houghton Mifflin Company. The author still lives to his title of being “The Modern Dumas.” BY WALTER D. HICKMAN 'T'HE name of O. Henry is Just as *■ much alive today as it was twenty-one ago before he left this world. Many letters have reached this department asking for a book about this man’s rather strange and unknown life. D. Appleton and Company have just .published “The Caliph of Baddad, which is “Arabian Nights Flashes of the Life, Letters and Work of O. Henry,” by Robert H. Davis and Arthur Maurice. 000 ISAAC DON LEVINE, author of the fmportant biography of “Stalin” published by Cosmopolitan Book Corporation, has this to say about the “system”: “Years of study of the Russian revolution, of all of its 'isms,’ of its collectivization, standardization, Fordization, tractorization, and other social slogans, have made of me an irrepressible individualist, and a firm believer that creative thinking and human progress are possible only in an environment where the individual is not crushed by mass control, mass psychology.” u 0 a WHAT fiction are they reading in New York City? Brentano’s reports the best fiction sellers as “The Road Back,” by Erich Ramarque; “The Good Earth,” by Pearl S. Buck; “Ambrose Holt and Family,” by Susan Glaspell; “Years of Grace,” by Margaret Ayer Barnes; “The Glass Key,” by Dashiel Hammett, and “The Square Circle,” by Denis Mackall. 000 You’ve heard of dog eat dog. In his new book, “Kachalola, or Mighty Hunter,” (Morrow) Dr. Sidney Spencer Broomfield tells of cannibal eating cannibal, although not by choice. A tribe in New Guinea captured and ate four of Dr. Broomfield’s men. In retaliation he forced the natives to cook and eat their own witch doctor! 0 0 0 Farrar and Rinehart will publish on June 25 “Ho-Hum,” a collection of news breaks from the New Yorker, with a foreword by E. B. White, illustrated by O. Soglow. For those in doubt as to the meaning of the word “newsbreak,” Mr. White explains. 000 Brentano’s, publishers, have just brought out in this country anew French conversation book specially designed for the traveler who already possesses a basic knowledge of the language. “Brush Up Your French,” written by W. G. Hartog, relates in French and English the adventures of a young couple touring France. The book was originally published by the London Daily Mail, which has already sold over 60.000 copies in England. 000 On June 11, William Morrow & Company wall publish: “Lady With a Past,” by Harriet Henry; “Saraband," by Eliot Bliss; “Under Cover Man,” by John Wilstach; “Kachalola, or Mighty Hunter.” by Sidney Spencer Broomfield, and “The Shadow of Henry Irving.” by Henry Arthur Jones. 000 “The Martial Spirit,” a study of the Spanish American war, by Walter Millis, is the June choice of the Literary Guild. To Millis the Spanish-American war was an amusing episode that perfectly illustrated the inefficiency of all wars. 000 Another great travel book has been catapulted into the scene and for real travel “literature” you should not miss “In Egypt,” by John C. Van Dyke (Charles Scribners & Sons, $2.50). Professor Van Dyke’s graceful prose is keen and revealing with sly traces of humor. 000 IN the fiction line, you will find a refreshing change in "Valencia.” an exotic love story laid in Spain. Leon Tahcheechee has done well and his book is both sophisticated and dramatic. (CowardMcCann. $2.50.) 000 OF course, we were bound to arrive at Nook's mystery corner. Thrill seekers have their choice of four new fine ones. First is "The Hangman’s Guests," by Stuart Martin (Harper & Bros., $2). It's about a huge stolen diamond from the African fields. It will send chills down your spine. Next is “Tlie Three-Cornered Wound," by George Dyer (Houghton Mifflin, $2). It’s an excellent murder tale. Quite original, too. “The Evil Chateau,” Sidney Horler (Alfred A. Knopf, $2) with its scene* laid in romantic Cannes and an eerlt chateau is fine reading, even though a bit scary. Helen Bimpson has done well in “The Prime Minister is Dead.” (Doubleday, Doran. s2>. Dermot Bcyne gets himself in a pickle, him Just engaged too, and things look bad for L „ until—.

BROOKS WILL FIGHT 1$ WON BYCHARITIES Verdict Returned in Favor of Home for Aged and Red Cross. Two Indianapolis charities were approximately $114,000 richer today following return of a verdict in their favor late Friday by a probate court jury in the Bartholomew D. Brooks will trial. Setting aside of a 1930 will by jurors leaves nearly nine-sixteenths of tne $209,000 estate to two charity organizations, • the Indianapolis Home for Aged Women and the Indianapolis chapter, American Red Cross, “share and share alike." Split on Three Ballots Both were named by Brooks, in a will signed June 22, 1922, along with Mrs. lone Clark Stubbs, a half sister of Brooks, who will receive approximately $53,000, seven cousins who got $3,000 each, relatives of Brook’s wife, $13,000 and a friend and several employes, SI,OOO each. After three ballots jurors agreed and declared they were of the opinion that Brooks had been defrauded into signing the 1930 document while of unsound mind. On the first ballot they voted 10 to 2 in favor of setting aside the 1930 will and 11 to 1 on the second. Beneficiaries in the 1930 will were Robert Hackney, business associate of Brooks, and other employes, friends and relatives.. 100 Witnesses Heard The probate fight over Brooks' estate required four weeks to hear nearly 100 witnesses. Brooks, a wellknown west Indianapolis business man, died in June, 1930. He owned 121 pieces of real estate here and at Shelbyville, Ind. The 1930 will is alleged to have been written in the office of A. F. Zainey, attorney, for Hackney, according to whose testimony Brooks wrote the will, on a typewniter in the office. MASH AT HUGE STILL IS HIDDEN BY PERFUME [ Distillery, Located in Greenhouse, Concealed by Flowers, By United Press BENSENVILLE, HI., May 30. Gallons of cheap perfume were applied regularly to overcome the odor of cooking mash about a still destroyed today by authoriti esof Du Page county. The distillery was the largest and most cleverly concealed ever raided in this section. It ha da capacity of 700 gallons daily and was built inside a greenhouse. Thousands of flowers killed to some extent the alcoholic odor, but as double protection the owners had installed a huge sprinkling system which three times daily automatically sprayed the entire place with j powerful perfume. Wabash Program Opens ! By Times Special CRAWFORDSVTLLE, Ind., May j 30. —Precommencement activities of i Wabash college started Friday i when President Louis B. Hop- ] kins delivered the senior day ad- ‘ dress at a special chapel service.

Johnson, coli lege chaplain. Singing of “Faith of ; Our Fathers" and “Alma Mater” j concluded) the services.

Hoover Waif By United Press WASHINGTON, May 30. The tiny new presidential yacht will be a nameless waif of the seas, it was learned today at the White House. In the official naval records it will bear the uninspiring designation “Presidential barge’ but it will not have a name. Many interesting names for 'the gasoline launch have been suggested, but none of them has been acceptable to the White House. One group wanted tc name it Peggy Ann in honor of Mr. Hoover’s 6-year-old granddaughter. Another thought it should be called Mayflonrerette in memory of its predecessor, the yacht Mayflower which was junked by Mr. Hoover.

No Divorce Signs Here

This is the answer of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks to widespread reports that they were contemplating a divorce. But from this picture, especially posed when they were reunited in London the other day, its doesn’t even look like a separation.

WAR ILLS ARE TOLD BY JUDGE Justice Martin Speaker at Greenwood Memorial. By Times Special GREENWOOD, Ind., May 30. Education and religion were advocated as factors that must serve to prevent future warfare among nations by Chief Justice Clarence R. Martin of the supreme court in a Memorial day address here today. “We can turn back the pages of time and now see the futility and uselessness of most of the wars of history, including the late World war,” Judge Martin said. “Ours foes are foeman no longer. They fought valiantly believing they were in the right. A stronger hand, and more.timely action might have indeed kept us out of war, but when the crisis came, the path of duty and honor was clear, and determined by the public conscience to enter that war. “Human experience for centuries teaches that so long as separate nations exist with separate sovereignties there is the possibility of war, no matter how sincerely we all desire peace." Judge Martin then urged preparedness for America and appealed to patriots to put down seditionness.
