v . L. Travers

The author of "Mary Poppins" is P. L. Travers, a young Irish woman who lives in a Thirteenth Century cottage in Sussex in the summer and in a cottage in the south of France in the winter. She oegan inventing stories for a tiny sister and "Mary Poppins’’ is the delightful result of her story telling. (Published by Reynal & Hitchock, Inc.). a a a BY WALTER D. HICKMAN MY sweetheart in 1934’s fiction is Cynthia Pattern. I admit being desperately in love with this fine, imaginative young lady whom I met on the first page of "Patterns of Wolfpen” as she sat on the pinnacle of sandstone in a valley in the Kentucky mountains in 1885. Cynthia came from stock that had withstood a century of life in the Kentucky mountains and she understood the hardships her great-great-grandfather Saul experienced when he first strode through the wilderness spying out the land. Cynthia is the brain child of Harlan Hatcher and the BobbsMerrill Cos. has the honor of putting Cynthia on the printed page. She was the daughter of Sparrel and Julia Pattern, who lived with their children on 6000 acres of hills and valleys surrounding Wolfpen Bottoms. You see Sparrel through Cynthia’s eyes as he prepared to apply modern steampower to the old water-wheeled mill of Grandfather Saul. This introduction of anew force in Wolfpen Bottoms completely changed the quiet and simple living of the Patterns and all around them. The Patterns inherited all the natural virtues of their ancestors and cooking was one of th#great assets of the Pattern homestead, just as much as going to church on Sunday when a preacher was present, and that wasn't often enough in those days. Day by day the reader lives with Sparrel, Julia. Cynthia and the boys in this natural heaven of a gr°at forest where life in the house followed closely the method used by Grand filler Saul and his remarkable ■wife. #OO THE forests were virgin but—. One day a stranger came and proposed to Sparrel that he lease to a great Pittsburgh company the right to cut down the trees and float the lumber down the river into the great milling sections. Sparrel had no rule to follow, but the money looked more important than the great human forest which stood as it did hundreds of years ago. Then modem life with its struggles, problems, disease and fights invaded Wolfpen and Cynthia saw her fine, traditional life go smashing to bits. The inrush of civilization with its power and greed resulted in the death of her mother and the brutal murder of her father. But out of this chaos came romance and real love to Cynthia. Never have I been jealous of a character in fiction before, but I am of Reuben Warren, a surveyor, who married and protected Cynthia from the abuses of modern life. To me, the author has created a symphony of real life in "Patterns of Wolfpen.” It is a blend of fantasy, tradition and fact that makes this book one of the real masterpieces of the year. If you read only one book or a hundred next year, be sure and read this one. "Patterns of Wolfpen” sells for $2 50,

BRITAIN TOYING WITH IDEA OF AIRSHIPS AGAIN Empire May Resume Program in Battle for World Sky Supremacy. By l nitrd Prr LONDON. Dec. 21.—Britian may acain begin to build airships to aid her in the battle for world supremacy of the commercial skies. The London-to-Melbourne airrace has shown the need for faster, safer and larger machines. Proponents of a renewal of Britain's airship policy point to the success of Germany’s Grai' Zeppelin on her fortnightly run to South America. It was the disaster of the R-101 in 1930 that decided Britain to abandon an airship policy. That wreck was the culmination of years of few successes and many disasters. It was the only thing needed to make the government wash its hands of airships with a sigh of relief. Built First Ship in 1907 As far back as 1902 Britain had arr airship policy, Lack of money, however, prevented its development, and two great envelopes were the only evidences of it. Britain's first airship was built in 1907, the "Nulli Seeundus.” She flew from Farnborough to London at 18 miles an hour, and sailed around Buckingham Palace and St. Paul’s Cathedral. By 1910 there was another small ship, the "Beta,” but it was not until 1911 that Britain had her first rigid airship, known as His Majesty's Airship No. 1. She broke her back, and an admiralty conference in 1912 decided to abandon airship construction. Britain then relied on non-ngids bought from other countries, and when the war broke out there were about half a dozen. Britain had practically no experience of rigid airships during the war, and when the armistice was signed she owned 103 airships nearly all non-rigids. They have been scrapped. Constructed for U. S. Then the series of R-30 airships was started on a prog am that cost the nation many millions only finally to be abandoned with the disaster to the R-38. 7'he United States had agreed to buy her. She was wrecked during trials over the Humber River and 44 lives were lost. She had only flown 70 hours So R-39 was canceled. There are two main objections to building airships for commercial use. They fly too slowly and they can not stand rough weather. Since 1930 the accumulating safety record of the Graf Zeppelin has slowly proved that safety is a matter of structure. In 1930, however, it took an airship four and one-half days to reach Bombay, eight days to reach Singapore, and ten days to reach Australia. W. A. Scott and Charles Black recently flew to Melbourne in 71 hours. The airship has the airplane beaten for range. It can carry fuel for 6,000 miles, and it can afford to make detours to avoid bad weather. It can also carry a good pay-load of 50 passengers, mail and freight, with the passengers living in comfort. INDIAN FIGHTER DIES OF OLD AUTO INJURY Col. Richard Shaw Once Led Posse Against Ute Tribe. By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—C01. Richard C. Shaw, Indian fighter, mining Engineer, newspaper man, rancher and cowboy, died late yesterday from complications arising from injuries suffered in an automobile accident five years ago. He was 80. Col. Shaw, who led a posse against the Ute Indians after the Meacnam massacre in 1879 and knew personally such figures of the old West as Wyatt Earp and Wild Bill Hickock, was editor of the Tombstone (Ariz.) Epitaph between 1880 and 1882.
