Lugo had a very unsuccessful Paris debut, and was on the verge of giving up his aspirations as a singer when Fortune decided to drop her handkerchief. At one time he was said to be the possessor of one of the mo't thrilling high C's ever heard, and has for the past few years Wn leading tenor of the Paris Opera. This recording of these two familiar arias basic components always of the dramatic tenor's repertoire reveals a voice from which the bloom is gone. Mr. Lugo now finds himself compromising above and his phrasing bears evidence of his uneasiness in the upper register.

The best recordings of these arias are Gigli's CrnCr wir I'i'i t-il-o -w i (Victor 1213-1701) or from the complete recording of the opera Jut. PHTZNLK. Stimme der Sc-hn-suiht. Op. N.

"Casanova's Women" is his latest book, which will remind many of his "The Pri vate Life of Helen of Troy." jects, with more than 700 halftones and line drawings, the encyclopedia is a gold mine of the kind of information sought by everyone who has a yard and grows things in it. The volume, running to more than 1300 pages, covers all the herbs, shrubs, vines and trees that any amateur will ever encounter. Plants are listed by both their bo tanical and popular names. Entries include general description, notes on propagation, a summary of the principal maladies to which each plant is subject, and description of varieties.

Articles on some of the most im portant garden plants amount vir tually to small handbooks. Roses, for instance, are accorded 13 pages containing: (1) Description and comparison of the various kinds; (2) discussion of soil, planting and pruning; (3) an outline of the various methods of propagation; (4) description of 40-odd species; (5) discussion of rose enemies and how to fight them; (G) illustrations showing how to plant and prune, how diseased plants look, and how the main garden types compare in form. The encylopedia tells you how to recognize what kind of soil you have, how to improve it physically and enrich it chemically, and how to handle it afterward so that the plants thrive and the water bill stays within reason. It abounds in the simple, factual information home gardeners like to get why cow manure is better than stable manure, what to mix with lawn clippings for home-made manure, what to avoid in buying commercial fertilizers, or how to prepare your own. Everything pertaining to amateur propagation of plants is treated fully how to sow seed, what to do if they germinate poor ly or die young, how to make cut tings, and the general principles of budding and grafting.

Here you find rule3 for buying a lawn mower, and observations on what tools to avoid. The book abounds in garden "wrinkles" how to raise a long ladder with a rake, make a hose-holder of a brick and a piece of innertube, or scrub a flower pot. The broad, background articles are especially instructive. After reading the encylopedia's two-page treatment of the principles of pruning, for example, the beginner not only knows where and when to cut, but he also understands why pruning is practised, "how the plant feels about it," and why some kinds of pruning are worse "than none. Everybody who reads gardening articles in the magazines knows that gardenias and orchids are acid-soil plants.

But where would the average Tucsonan learn that his common marigolds also would do better, in this lime-infested valley, if they had acid soil? Only in "The Garden Encyclopedia," so far as we know, is a wealth of such in formation presented clearly, accurately and at a' cost within the average gardener's budget. For the benefit of owners of the first edition, It may be said that the new publication is almost identical with it in text and illustration, articles on soilless gardening, vitamins, and other subjects which have created a stir in gardening circles since 1936, comprising the only major additions. By H.O.W. Clory wanted to very much to accept the new faith completely, to know It as "something so real and rapturous that with it all life became a song, all death an adventure," and to see It "defeat the hate in the world and put love in its place." That she succeeded to the extent she did during the hard years of grubbing out a living and being, emotionally, tied to the rack, cost her the tenderness within her and the tinkling bells in her voice. She became a blade of steel, proud, aloof, untarnished by all life did to her.

She has a way, in her clear, clean prose, of cutting through to the inward, complete selves of all the characters she handles. With equal dexterity she recreates a whole period of history and a whole countryside so both are as real as the people who live in them. She also handles the faith of the people without missionary blindness to Its faults, but with honest appraisal. Long, 633 pages, "The Giant Joshua," is sometimes heavy with the pioneers' disasters, and griefs, but it is never dull reading. Clory and the faith of the saints sing through even the lusty realism of abused polygamy, point up and give tone to a period of western American history which has been misunderstood.

Miss Whipple's contribution is in both the field of history and fiction. By Rcrnice Cosulich. The Parents' Institute is endeavoring to negate the pernicious influence of comic strip magazines by issuing a bi-monthly of its own under the title "True Comics." The first number is off the press, contains a strip history of Churchill's adventurous life, a Van Loon record of the search for an arctic passage, the life of Simon Bolivar and other strips that should appeal to action-loving children. There remains a question in our mind if the Institute can counteract the "over-stimulating effect of the grotesque subject matter" in popular comic strip magazines without also doing something about the equally over-stimulating and grotesque subject matter of many radio and motion picture programs. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, Not a Deterrent, by L.

Vernon Briggs. AVright Potter Printing Bos-ton, Mass. Readers will squirm before the mass of information which the Boston psychiatrist presents in this new book. Its entire thesis is that capital punishment should be abolished because it does not lessen crimes of violence. It reviews the entire history of capital punishment from days of the Egyptians to the Incas, who put to death every villager and razed the town in which adultery had been committed, from the drawing and quartering of English offenders to the "hot seat" electrocutions of Americans.

Often these modern executions are made festival events as barbarous as Indian ceremonies when offenders were staked to ant hills to be consumed. Compiled from the best authorities available, who support his thesis, the author suggests striking at the roots of crime by "intelli gent care by the communities for their young men," the expenditure of moneys not to reform criminals, but to "stop crime at the source" in poor environments, lack of opportunities, employment, and proper education. Dr. Briggs, by chapters, takes up different states' laws for punishment of offenders, the death penalties of past ages, execution scenes past and present (those in England are particularly horrible), forms of capital punishment that impress one with man's cruelty to man, the types of men who have been or are executioners, errors of justice, capital punishment (believe this or not) of animals and insects and inanimate objects (one case in Prescott, a dog condemned to death), and a review, by nations of the world, of the present status of capital punishment. The book is far from pleasant reading and is not intended for entertainment, but it cannot but hold one's interest.

Dr. Briggs has massed his information with a clinical detachment. He is familiar with source material as well as living authorities in the prosecution and punishment of crime, and with some criminals. He wrote the Briggs law for Massachusetts requiring mental examinations of those indicted by a grand jury for a capital offense. Finally, the book re-impresses one with the thinness of civilization's veneer and of how slowly man moves away from barbarism.

By B. C. Fifty photographic studies of Arizona Indians are to be found In "Arizona Indians, the People of the Sun" by Joseph Miller (Hastings House, New York, $1). The artist, whose pictures were exhibited recently in Tucson, wanted to catch with his camera the "proud, courageous and colorful" Arizona Indians.

Fort DIx In New Jersey recently Introduced a new phase of entertainment for soldiers during the present emergency when the popular revue, "Hellzapoppin'," was brought from New York to play the post as a benefit for tl-Army Relief Fund. The Olsen and Johnson show was imported with its elaborate sets, lights, and props. Facilities of the post were strained to such a point that the proscenium arch gave way In the final scene, but actors and technicians carried on under what might be called field conditions, and played to standees. Word arrives in Tucson of yet another young composer who "began" at the University of Arizona's music school receiving recognition for his work in the country's music centers.

The young man Is Ben R. Gosslck, who went from the local campus to Pomona and who then received a scholarship at Columbia to study with Bingham and Moore. He will receive his master's degree In music' thl June, and his "First String Quartet" was chosen by the League of Composers, In New York, for its inclusion in its "second young composers roncert" of the season, riv itch In the New York Public Library. The work, whose four movements are named "hoe-down." "new mown bay and a prairi moon." "corn shuckin' time," i "war clouds." won from Virgil Thom-on of the New York Herald TiI'umk' the comment, "My choice yesterday's crop (of youne composers) i Mr. Ben H.

March 15. at the Niv Jersey for Women. The entire work, and Gos-sk-k's r.ew "Sonata for Violin and Piano, will bo given at the Evening of Columbia Music April 20.

In other words, a book that wasn't either a wishing well or a pit of desolution." Richard Aldrlch Summers of the University of Arizona English faculty has a fourth book published thia week. "Conquerors of the River," "Devil's Highway" and "Dark Madonna" were his other books. Now comes from the Oxford Press another juvenile titled: "Cavalcade to California." The story Is built around Captain de Anza's colonizing party on its trip to San Francisco. That party traveled from Cullacan, Mexico, northward to Tubac, on past San Xavier del Bac with a stop in Tucson, down the Gila, across the great desert in the Imperial vallev, on to San Gabriel mission, Monterev and at last to San Fran cisco Bay. The author has used the diary of Padre Font and many other documents for the authentic background, incidents, characters and other materials in his book.

Credit for assistance given Pro fessor Summers on the new book is given two Tucsonans: Prof. Flor ence Morgan, also of the university, and Rev. Victor R. Stoner, who checked the historical accu racy and ecclesiastical terminology. THE CARRINGTON INCIDENT lv Nivcn AVilliam Morrow New York, $2.50.

Not comparable to Ethel Vance's "Escape" or other top-flight Nazi-inspired fiction, Niven Busch's novel. "Carrington Incident," is sometimes entertaining though always insignificant reading. The monstrous plot presents Bertha Carrington, an American college teacher of Junoesque pro portions, involved In an exceed ingly delicate and personal manner with several high Nazi officials. The shocking climax is attained in the part that she plays in the plans of the Leader for promulgating a dynasty. Having read the book, one asks "So what?" "Incident" seems to be an apt title, happily chosen to describe a book that is bones but no flesh.

Busch Is at times guilty of very bad writing, descending In certain passages almost to the lewd technique of the bedroom pulps-Bertha Is depicted as a healthy, earthy creature with a rudimentary philosophy and a great capacity for resignation. From the first surrender of her virginity to a wayward 6tudent, she seemingly prasps ever opportunity to confirm the loss with whatever new lover circumstance chances to offer. And Busch, taking circumstance by the forelock, gives her plenty of opportunities. The extremely happy ending to the story is definitely out of kew ing with what authenticated reports on Nazi Germany would reasonably lead the reader to expect. In short, the book Is chiefly interesting as the first novel from the pen of the man who gave Hollywood such major scripts as "The Westerner" and "In Old Chicago." By Nathaniel TT.

McKelTey. Since this column has the quality cf spring In it with two reviews of books for gardeners, we should add a reminder of "Nature Notes" by John Kieran, which Double-day, Doran company published recently. In between the "a and of his knowledge" which shines on "Information Please" comes Kleran's delight in nature. The present 50 essays are on may facets of the out of doors. A BOOK OF GARDEN FLOWERS, by Margaret McKenny, illustrated by Edith F.

Johnson, The McMillan Company, New York, $2. The outstanding fact about this book and its predecessor of last year, A Book of Wild Flowers, is the manner in which prose and pictures so admirably complement elm inner. ine ncscriptions in the present work of favorite garden flowers are so simple in stvle that even a very young child can easily understand and like them. In addition, they contain specific' Information as to origin, planting times, cultivation and the like and bits of folklore and legend useful and interesting to the adult. The full page lithographs of every plant discussed are not only beautiful but sound botanical representations.

These illustrations, like the fine botanical prints of the 19th century, have on them the stamp of the artist's patient work through all the tedious processes preliminary to printing. The flowers discussed and pictured are, with a few exceptions, growable in Arizona gardens and the book a valuable to the local gardener's library. In the case of plants considered which are not suited to our climatic conditions, we may find a nostalgic pleasure in having them so ably brought to us In word and picture. It is to be hoped that somewhere in the future plans of Miss McKenny and Mrs. Johnson a similar work on the wildflowers of the Southwest is included.
