Jehovah Blues Puts New Light On Widel Known Flood Family JEHOVAH BLUES, by Marmertte (Doubleday and New York. The last of Miss Steen's trilos on the Flood family is about th last of the Floods, talented, snob bish Aldebaran, a successful tol novelist, who has to come America to shake off the effects a past Paris affair. Herself Orlando Sox, son of the Marques of Mildenhall, Aldebaran feels she cannot give happiness until sh first finds it solving the secret of Lee Marion, pianist composer of "Jehovah Blues." Has Some Xonsense The incidents of her American "lecture" tour and subsequent visi to Charleston do much more than that. They make a mature woman of her. The first volume of the Flood history, THE SUN IS MY UN DOING, went to Johnny Flood, ant TWILIGHT ON THE FLOODS, the second installment, stopped at Al debaran.

Both won high praise for Miss Steen, a professional actress before she turned to writing. The finale in the story of the slave-trading Floods should not lower that praise, although the first few chapters leave much to be desired, with such nonsense as this: Orlando's dog, Laura, is about to have puppies, and Orlando is worried about Laura's social status, saying her position with the Kennel Club and breeders is certainly in awfully afraid she's a goner, socially." And Aldebaran: "Poor sweet; she must forget all about it and start a new life. After all, she's young enough to live this Happy to say, that has som thing to do with the plot, however, as many characters in the book have something to "live down." There are other examples, as Aldebaran's shock at Orlando's proposal in the kitchen, with both feeling that "we're not our best among the pots and pans." The early feeling of Aldebaran being a complete fool, an unbjar- able snob, is dispelled during her adventures looking for Marion The suspense and dramatic episodes in the Southern swsmps and the smoke-filled, squalid rooms of the dope dives and jazz joints in which she conducts the search make for wading through the opening Gattjt.

The Thurber Album Gives New Insight Into Famed Author THE THURBER ALBUM. A NEW COLLECTION OF PIECES ABOUT PEOPLE, by Jirrvfs Thurber. (Simon and Schuster. New York. This latest book by James Thurber, The Thurber Album, is just what it claims to be, a collection of pieces about children stay with relatives in Lubbock for the duration of the clinic; sometimes their drive them back and forth each day.

The present session of the Clinic will last six weeks. Plans are uncertain for the remainder of the summer. Any interested- person may contact Miss Lindell, Extension 356, at the Although the work 'of the speech therapist often seems slow, it is usually effective. Patty and Sammy have only baen coming to the clinic Since list. Monday, bur they have already made progress.

At first.it was-thought that. the children might not be able to hear, since they had.no reaction to sound, but their repsonse to instructions during this week seems to indicate that they do hear. They are too young to be tested formally for hearing loss at this time. However, Sammy has already said "ah" and "choo" to represent the sound' a train makes. And Patty has shaped her mouth to make the sound This may not seem like hiuch, but for children who have never before made any attempt to form speech sounds.

it represents great strides. Thurber knows or has known. Fortunately, they are interesting people. The satire effect for which the author is famous is absent from this book and along with it the sharp pronged effect of mftst of his Thurb.er apparently wiped the venom from his pen and sat down to sort through his memoirs. The result like the popular Reader's Digest feature "The Unforgettable Character I've Ever Met." Discusses His Relatives The first few chapters of the book are devoted to tales of.Thur- ber's relatives, some whom he had known and some who had died before his time, and recollections of childhood neighbor's.

'Readers who can "remember when" and. those who are hearing for the first time will enjoy the stories of customs and styles which are now antiquated. A description of the healing, potions brewed by one of his. neighbors, a Mrs. Margery Albright, from local herbs form an interesting and amusing portion of book.

Sketches Of Instructors In the latter section of book, Thurber gives sketches of some'of his instructors at Ohio University and of newspaper men he had known through the years. Here, are studies of several interesting and memorable men in newspaper annals Norman Kuehner, city editor of the Colum- bus Dispatch for many years, Billy Ireland, author of the popular Dispatch feature, The Passing Show, and Bob Ryder, editor and para- grapher of the Ohio State Journal for several years. These are probably as intimate and revealing pictures of these men as have been written anywhere. In place of his spiked wit, Thurber has substituted more kindly humor. The reader will chuckle rather than laugh, but he will get no less enjoyment from it.

Although the pieces, as Thurber explains in an author's note, "are ararnged in a kind of chronological order," the book appears to amble, meandering back and fourth to pick up fragments forgotten aarlier. The result is comewhat like a personal diary or sketchbook, the type book-'which can be laid down and returned to later. 1 But the Thurber Album has Its own reward for interested readers who will it a warm book about fascinating Mexico is purchasing highspeed trains in a move to provide luxury rail service.
