PARKS, D.C. The layman's recognition of the various fields of doctoring is important both as to the speed of recovery of an ailment and costs involved. There are also specialists within a healing fession as: eons, radiologists, obstetricians and others. These specialists confine i practices within their specialized fields. When one has trouble with his teeth, he seeks out ft dentist, with the eyes, an optometrist, or an eye specialist, with the back, or nervous system, a chiropractor.

It will pay you to get into the habit of visiting your chiropractor for your backache or related health problems as you would the other specialized branches of healing.

Mr. Lusardi's work is excellent in detail but less, excel lent in total result. By painstaking use of technical devices he has carefully constructed a beautiful mechanism. sequence of the novel. THE MOST distinctive feature of the novel is Mr.

Lusardi's style. ft is impressionistic in a stream of life technique, a combination if the slice of life and stream of conciousness techniques. It is naturalistic, rich in image and symbol; complex with figuies of speech, almost all drawn from nature. In this profusion--and confusion it is difficult to locate Mr. Lusardi's second level thesis, that it IE ultimately love that defeats evil.

Among the secondary characters, the portrait of a girl who turned bad because she was jilted is less convincing than the pitiless portrayal of an illiterate, un- ordained preacher who tries to make trouble for Jenny.

The writing is anything but distinguished. There is some wry humor in the scenes at a motel when the law reludanily catches the preacher and the bad girl.
