4 LIBRARY NOTBS The following are new non-fictiot books, which have been purchased for the Syracuse library: “The Nation’s Return" by Louis Adamic, who after 19 years in this country, returned home to Carniola a small province in Jugo-Slavia. He went as a filial duty, expecting to spend only a short time, and fell in love with his home land. He spent a year there. He found the people wearing their national dress as a matter of course, following their ancient customs, their simple, agrarian lives, loving, laughing, dying, bearng children in away quite uninfluenced by the world about them. Adamic traveled all through Jugoslavia, seeing the country and city with an eye accustomed to American scenes. He found it an almost undiscovered country, its possibilities infinite, its people vital, and fresh in a world that is jaded. No other book is like this one in its gaiety and rich color and sense of youthful adventure. “Brazilian Adventure" by Peter Fleming. The author was one of a party, composed of Eng.ishmen who traveled into unexplored regions in central Brazil with a vaguely defined hope of solving the mystery of the disappearance of Colonel Fawcett, 8 years before. The book contains a half-mocking, half-serious, wholly entertaining account of their adventures. “AT 33” by Edna l>eGa!linne. At this age, Miss LeGallienne pauses and looks back over her life so far; The first part of the book tells of her childhood in England, girlhood and schooldays in Paris and the first years of struggle for success n Americia. The last half is the story of her career as an actress and director-man: ger, and of her great

Such plays as Green Pastures, Journey’s End, Private Lives, and Miracle of Verdun are included in this unusual collection. o BOOK REVIEW. (By Bessie WithereKßaliard) “Stars Fell on Alabama” "Stars Fell on Alabama," by Carl Carmer, published June 26, by Farrar & Rinehart, Inc., $3.00, is one of the most interesting and enlightening books of non-Fiction that this writer has read in a long tithe, though it presents a vista somewhat disheartening. It is an account of the lives of “conjure women,” “Hill-billies," niggers, poor whites, plantent and Cajuns"; dealing with the superstitions of these people; quoting their songs —both Spiritual and folk-lore; . and setting forth the fact that these people, our own countrymen, actually believe that in a far-distant past, stais did tali on Alabama. To this day, many Alabamians reckon dates troni “the year the stars fell.” The book abounds in anecdotes of the spells worked by "conjure women;" lynchings, religious meetings; as well as stories about the lovely nornes, gracious hospitality, beautitul women, and adventurous, gallant, men of Alabama—both past and present. ‘’Stars Fell on Alabama" is well worth your reading. , HOPKINS AT WACO Claude Hopkins and his worldfamed Harlem orchestra will be brought to Waco, at Lake Wawasee Friday night, July 20, it was announced today. Hundreds of demands, from those who heard and danced to this sensational negro band when it played at Waco in the Spring, determined the Waco management to book it for a return engagement before it leaves for an extended tour of the East. In the Capitols of the Old World Hopkins’ orchestra has been pronounced to be probably the best and most unusual orchestra to come out of America. In the United States Hopkins* weird and yet sweetly melodic music has been an almost permanent feature at Roseland, New York’s finest ball-room. His nightly broadcasts over the Columbia Chain has brought him to the attention of all air-minded Americans. Tickets may be obtained in advance at a specially low rate. They are on sale locally at Thornburg Drug Co. ' 0 CATCHES DOG FISH Tuesday morning, Emory (Kate) Kindig caught a 10 pound dog fish on a minnow. Kindig had been fish*nK for that fish for five weeks, during which time it repeatedly stole his bait and once caused him to fall into the lake. Tuesday it "'was landed high and dry on shore. Tuesday evening. Kindig caught another dog fish, this one weighed 13 pounds. Henry Sloan caught three turtles, luesday, two weighing 10 pounds each, and the other weighing 20 pounds.

! Brazil Rain-Drenched in One Part; Dry in Other Geographically, Brazil is divided into two great sections —the plateau country in the East, which includes nearly one-third of its territory, and the great interior tropical plains, drained by the Amazon system and in a smaller degree by the Bio de la Plata tributaries. The country lies almost entirely in the torrid zone, observes a writer in the Kansas City Star. In ; general it is a tropical country, with subtropical and temperate areas in the South and In the central plateau Region. The forest-covered lowland val*y of the Amazon is a region of high temperatures which vary little throughout the year. There is no appreciable change of season except in the variation of rainfall The coastal plains lying between the plateaus and the sea are subject to high temperatures and humidity as far south as Santos. The varied rainfalls are one of the peculiarities of the climate of torrid Brazil. Whereas three years may pass in the northern state of Ceara without rain, other sections are drenched for months with tropical downpours. The country is fortunate in being free from the earthquakes and hurricanes sc common along the great Cordillera from Chile to Mexico and in the Caribbean countries. Coffee is found chiefly in the temperate plateau regions and in southern Brazil. This is the principal source of Brazil’s wealth, with the states of Sao Paulo and Matto leading in pro duction. The ' latter has an area of 530,000 square Dallas. and is the principal cattle state of Brazil. History of Letter “P” cf the Present Alphabet The letter I’. the sixteenth letter of our alphabet, was written in the Phoenician from right to left, according to an authority In the Chicago Tribune. It Is interesting that, although the Greek alphabet is generally considered to have descended from the Phoenician, the Etruscan and Umbrian symbols for P more closely resemble the Phoenician than they do the Greek symbol. The early Roman i form of the letter was similar to the Greek; but as time went on the form became more and more rounded. It , was not.uhtil imperial times, however, that the semi-circle was completed and the letter had reached the form It now retains. The sound represented by the symbol always has been the I breathed labial stop. ■ The letter Q was in the earliest ' Greek alphabets the symbol koppa, , •which was retained in lonic Greek merely as a symbol for the figure 90. The pronunciation in Greek is the same as K. In Latin Q Is commonly used combination with U pro nounce<Las W before a following vowel as In the English quill. The letter.R. called rho in Greek, often was written In early Greek alphabets as D. which 'caused confusion between the two let ters. No consonant has a more varied pronunciation than R. The letter S, called in Greek, also has a varied pronunciation. It may be sounded as sh, as Z. or as a hiss. Cinderella’s Slipper Although the many lands contains the Inspirational story of Cinderella’s romance, the different versions are not legends but variations of a romantic and true incident In the life of Rhodopls. the “rosy-cheeked 1 queen” of Egypt, who reigned 2.000 years before the birth of Christ. History relates, writes G. R; Turner in the Kansas City Times, tliat on a certain day tn that distant past Rhodopls was bathing in the Nile when a strong gust of wind carried off one sandal and laid It at the feet of the Egyptian king, who was presiding over a court of justice almost a mile away. The daintiness of the sandal so Impressed the king that he offered a reward for knowledge of the owner’s name. Rhodopla claimed the reward, courtship followed, and soon she was queen of Egypt Queun Christina Christina, queen of Sweden, was born in 1626. Her father died when she was six years old. She became queen in her eighteenth year. Urged to marry, with her cousin, Charles Gustavus, suggested as the most suitable consort, in 1650. she appointed Charles her successor. She soon desired to abdicate in his favor, and finally did so In 1654, leaving the country in male attire, under the name of Count Dohna. She embraced the Catholic religion and lived for many years in Rome, dying there in 1689. Criminology Research Cesare Lombroso. famous criminologist of the late Nineteenth century, founded criminology as an Independent subject of research. The study of crime la conditioned by the difficulty in gathering significant statistics, the changing concepts of crime and by the fact that each country decides for itself of what crime consists. Social, environmental and individual influences are very complex, and criminologists do not consider their results conclusive. ? k “God Save the King” The origin of the tune “God Save the King” has always been a matte* for argument, but most authorities agree on one point, that It is English. It was “adopted” by the Prussians, and with appropriate verses became the Prussian national anthem. So it ia quite erroneous to say that It “belonged” to Germany, tn the sense that It was borrowed from them. —o FILES DIVORCE ACTION Alleging that her husband failed to provide adequate support, Mrs. Georgia Hartman filed action for divorce in circuit court from Paul Hartman, who is allegedly residing in California. They were married July 6, 1929, and separated June 15, 1933. —, Q Hang onto your sense of humor.

This huge nose is six times as big as the whole’s brain-case, and a 0 whale with a head 12 feet long and 6 feet high will have a nose 10 feet long and 5 feet high; and a big whale may have as much as 500 gallons of oil in its nose! Through the bones, fat. oil, and connective tissue of this vast organ run the nasal pas sages, the right and larger one capa clous enough to admit a man. This can he expanded, and has a much smaller aperture leading into the windpipe funnel than the left passage, and it has been ascertained that these passages to the throat can be closed by two enormous plugs, which function exactly like the stopper in a bath or washbasin. This unique control of its breathing apparatus enables the whale to “hold its breath" when it dives to a depth of a mile. and also prevents the tremendous .pressure at that depth from forcing the air out of the avbale’s lungs. Word Origin* Most people are familiar with what is termed a “salary." Rut do you know whence came that word, or its significance? It comes from the Latin word, “sal.” meaning salt. Back in the days of ancient Rome, Emperor Augustus gave his soldieys acer tain amount of money with which to buy salt. After a time, probably through long usage, the term became "salary” in English. The northern peak of the citadel of ancient Rome was occupied by the Temple of June Moneta —which, means “the Warner.” It was here in 269 B. C. that the sen ate set up a mint, and by association with the temple the word Moneta has survived in such words as “money,” “monetary," etc. —Washington Star. -- ... 4 2 Key of the Bastille The key of the Bastille from the fortress “La Bastite" in France, is preserved in a glass ease among the relics at Mount Vernon. After the building was demolished by the mob who attacked it on July 14, 1789. the key of the outer door was obtained by Gen eral Lafayette, who sent it to General Washington. It is a large, black, crosshanded key of wrought iron, seven inches in length. In offering' it, Lafayette wrote: “It is a tribute which I owe as a son to my adopted father, as an aid-de-camp to my general, and as a missionary of liberty to its patriarch.” Gotham an Old Pariah Gotham Is an old parish and village in Nottinghamshire, England, the inhabitants of which are reputed to have played the fool In order to dissuade King John from passing through their town, thereby avoiding the expense of entertaining him. Washington Irving in "Salamaguudi" written in 18U7 used it as a satirical nickname for New fork on account of the pretentious wisdom of the citizens. Oldest Business in London The oldest business concern In the elty of London is the College of Heralds, which was founded in 1380. The heralds are appointed personally by the king; they receive a small fee from him for certain court duties, deriving most of their income from fees paid by people in search of family trees, armorial bearings, etc.

EMPLOY 14,978 MORE WASHINGTON—A survey of the -bureaucoracy revealed yesterday that 14,978 additional employes had been added to the nation’s payroll during the month of May. The total of government employes on June 1 was 659,086, an increase of almost 100,000 over the total on the same date last year. The number of politicians now holding positions under the Roosevelt administration is the largest in the history of the nation. Practically all of them are empoyed in the various bureaus set up under the New Deal. While the total payroll is unknown, it is estimated that it exceeds 5100,000,000 a month. In fact, the payroll is rapidly nearing the point where it comes dangerously near being the largest item of government expense. — 0SPEAR GAR FISH Eight gar fish were speared, Monday night, by a party from Syracuse consisting of Joe Rapp, Orval Klink, C.
