- ' * Isaac D. Levine Here is the author of "Stalin,” published by Cosmopolitan, which is the best study so far of Russia’s amazing "man of steel’’ and the way he rose to power. BY WALTER V HICKMAN. GOING on a vacation generally means that travel demands and invites some books for the interludes between sightseeing. Have been asked to list a few books that would be suitable in "any climate.” My list would include: “The Road Back,” by Erich Remarque (Little Brown); "Years of Grace,” by. Margaret Ayer Barnes (Houghton Mifflin); "Stalin,” by Isaac D. Levine (Cosmopolitan); “Fatal Interview,” by Edna St. Vincent Millet (Harper), and the poems of Walt Whitman which I always take with me. And for a mystery I sure would tuck in "The Monk’s Hood Murders” by the Edingtons, published by Cosmopolitan. •‘P'UNDAMENTALLY, Mexico is an F Indian country,” says Carleton Beals in his new book, "Mexican Maze,” just published by J. B. Llppincott Company. "There are four million Indians in Mexico and at least eight and a half million mestizos, or people of mixed blood, as against a million whites. Moreover the mestizo is nearer the Indian than the white and the great majority of them are reabsorbed back into the native race-stream. The Indian is the real, the basic Mexican and once there is anew Indian there will be anew Mexico.” >t tt tt After the circus left town, Courtney Ryley Cooper stopped going to see it every night and went back to work on the manuscript of his new book. It is to be called “Circus Days” and will be published in the autumn. a tt a Farrar & Rinehart have rushed I. J. Golden’s play, "Precedent,” through the presses and will publish it early next week. This is the play based on the Mooney-Billings case, it has just moved uptown from the Province town Playhouse to the Bijou theater where, critics say, it is due to have a great success. tt tt u YOU might be glad to know about these detective stories: "The Second Shot,” by Anthony Berkeley (Crime Club; $1). A guest is slain at a house party, and every other guest present had both motive and opportunity. One of the best of the spring crop. “The Monk’s Hood Murders,” by the Edington (Cosmopolitan Book Corporations; $2). A newspaper publisher dies, followed by the star police reporter, and nobody knows just how it happened. Puzzling and well constructed. "Death at Winward Hill,” by Helen Joan Hultman (Fiction League; 50 cents). Who shot the old lady when she was dying of natural causes? And why did the doctor act so strangely? And what did the butler have up his sleeve? Easy to read and hard to solve. "The Midnight Mail," by Henry Holt (Crime Club; $1). A lady gets throttled on an English train and a man is pitched overboard. There’s s fine surprise in the last chapters. IN “Fiddler’s Green,” Albert R. Wetjen has collected all the ancient traditions and myths of the sea and incorporated them in a fanciful and beautifully conceived novel. • Fiddler’s Green was the paradise of sea-going mythology; the subterranean island vale of Avalon, to which all good sailors went on their death, where there were no storms and no watches to stand and where a kindly providence recompensed the slaves of the rope for their lives of toil. Mr. Wetjen takes a drowned sailor to Fiddler’s Green and lets us see what it was like. He tells his tale with humor and imaginative insight; and, strangely enough, he makes it a story of real beauty and tenderness. m m THE following are recent books that might interest you: "The Night Life of the Gods,” by Thorne Smith (Doubleday, Doran, *2.50). A scientist brings sundry Greek statutes to life and marries a daughter of the "little people.” Hilariously funny, and occasionally somewhat shocking. "The Impotent General,” by Charles Pettit (Horace Liveright, Inc., $2). Another fanciful j’arn by the author of "The Son of the Grand Eunuch.” Mildly diverting, but a bit obvious. Not for your Aunt Emma. "Samson and Delilah.” by Felix Salten (Simon & Schuster, $2.50). A well-written account of the famous Old Testament romance, with Delilah presented as a victim of others’ wiles and not as a designing temptress. Not bad; still, it won’t replace the original biblical story. Democrat Elected MARION. Ind., June 5.—W. D.

CITY LAUNCHES DRIVE AGAINST RIVER DEATHS Children Warned to Stay Away From Unguarded Swimming Holes. THIRTEEN ARE ARRESTED Health Board Cautious on Bathing in Polluted Streams. Lives of many persons, chiefly ! children, were in the balance today as the swimming season opened, and police, deputy sheriffs and health department officials started a drive to reduce the number of deaths from drownings. "Don’t swim in unauthorized places” was the warning sounded throughout the county as authorities guarded places in rivers, streams and creeks where attempts to swim likely would be made. Thirteen men and boys were arrested late Thursday by police while swimming in the gravel pit of the American Aggregate Company, 1400 West Raymond street. They were given suspended fines of $5 by Municipal judge William H. Sheaffer today. Last year five persons lost their lives in accidental drownings within the city limits. This year the water toll has reached four. According to figures of a large life insurance company, 3,500 persons are expected to lose their lives this summer in drownings throughout the nation. Cities the size of Indianapolis are rated to have a drowning death expectancy of six persons during the season. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, health board secretary, not only warned against the drowning danger, but also the hazard of disease from swimming in places where water has not been tested. Park board officials today announced that the pools in parks will be opened about June 15. Date for the opening of White river beaches still is in doubt. “With advent of the swimming season comes the hazard of using streams for swimming which are not guarded or analyzed to determine whether or not pollution exists,” Dr, Morgan said. "Swimming is fine exercise and a pleasant recreation. However, parents should warn children to avoid swimming in places where there are no life guards, where there is possibility of water being contaminated. Evade Police Supervision "In the face of the closest supervision of the police department to keep children from unguarded streams, each year finds a toll of drownings which might have been avoided.” Included among those fined for trespass were: James Butterfield, 17, of 414 East Orange street; Frank Hally, 22, of 1650 Union street; Russell Joundt, 17, of 1627 Leonard street; Ed Goran 17, of 1750 South Meridian street; Robert Williams, 22, of 822 East Raymond street; Frank Geiss, 17, of 325 Sanders Street; Carl Tierce, 25, of 406 West Raymond street; Scott Benson, 22, of 2252 South Meridian street; Robert Mcßride, 17, of 1013 South Illinois street; Ed Steele, 19, of 830 South Capitol avenue, and Robert Graves, 27, Negro, 1238 Calhoun street. ROBBER H BETTER Bride's Shotgun Wounds Are Not Serious. Shotgun wounds in the back suffered by Mrs. Roxie McCreary when she and her husband were surprised robbing a general store in Lizton early Thursday, probably will not prove as serious as it was feared at first, city hospital physicians reported today.

Leslie on recommendation of institution trustees after Hauk had served twenty-one days of the sentence. According to the charges, the alleged offense took place on a picnic attended by boy and girl pupils of the school.
