About Colleges WHAT KIND OF COLLEGE IS BEST? By Myron Stearns The John Day Company 78 pp 1138 By SIDNEY This little book should be of real value to boys who want to go to college for the purpose for which colleges were originally intended ie to learn and to parents wh are fortunate enough to have boys of that particular type It should be of interest if not value to boys who want to go to college Just for the sake of going to college It might serve na an eye-opener to them aa to what institutions of so-called higher learning really are After an essay on The Reasons for Going to Cdllegt Mr Stearns divides American colleges Into five groups: The state universities the small colleges the technical lnstl tutes the big private colleges and the co-operative colleges Each class he analyses ss to general atmosphere social and spiritual tons advantage! and disadvantages as nearly as it ia possible to Judge for various types of boys end probable costa The worth of tha book lies in its efforts to appraise the human elements that make up ia many respects the most important part of a bojr'a college lire Candidate Cantor After Easter Special One Group of DRESSES AU Shades of them occasionally hut as a whole ths people prove Interesting and sympathetic Tha book describes a certain fringe of Ilfs adjacent to Park avenue which the authors can New Babylon There is no particular hero or heroine hut several of the characters are outstanding The multimillionaire Jew Julius Beck patron of tho arts and blopde prehensile Sylvia Hansen might be considered the main characters in the story Dr Rudolph Von Eeche an Austrian pay-choanalyslst specialist to Park avenue acta aa God of tho machine for some of the characters through his work In psychoanalysis Julius Bock down in his heart haa a deep contempt for gentiles and exploits them every opportunity Doctor Von Each induces Beck to furnish tho money for Sylvia to cultivate her voice Sylvia accepts divorcing her husband to whom she has bean an indifferent wife Morty only non Instead of following In tha parental footsteps of big business haa become a writer of jaxs music to hie father's great disgust Sylvia expects to pay Beck the usual price and cannot understand this platonic attitude and Morty ruins hie plane by promptly falling in love with Sylvia The use of real names in the artistic and theatrical eirclea of New York serves to give the book a false air of reality The book holds the interest throughout and while sensational and flamboyant should prove popular EGG HUNT HELD BARNESVILLE Ga March More than 300 children of grammar school age gathered on the

Dublin Ga ooocoznnYOE YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT By Eddie Cantor end David Freedman Illustrated by 8 I Dykeman Long and Smith New York 82 pp 1100 By BEN JOHNSTON Eddie Cantor's comic campaign for tho presidency la getting leu attention than did Will Rogers' similar effort hack in 1928 That may be because Cantor has opposition from Alfalfa Bill Murray and "General" Coxay Then again It may be Just the depression Anyway this is Candidate Cantor's campaign book and thus who like tho Cantor variety of which millions will find it very amusing I have heard part of it read to a woman's study club and it went over big My wife read this review copy to our eix-yur-oid son and reports that they both nearly had hysterica Bead silently It ia not quit so hilarious but thst's because the Cantor fun Is created to be heard Most of It bee been heard as a matter of fact on the radio However if you missed it there this little volume gives you a second chance to get on tho Cantor bandwagon The Dykeman caricatures srs not so successful Not bad but not good either Now Is the Time for You to Buy a Dining Room Suite David's Day DAY By Denis MacKall Houghton Mtfflin -Co Boston and New York 848 pp $280 By HAMILTON HALL The framework of this book is a sort of "this is ths dog that worried the cat that killed tho rat" affair Mrs Bowker for Instance failed to put In an appearance one fine spring morning to prsparo Mr Coffin's breakfast which resulted in Mr Coffin's missing his customary train which made him rush so' that ha knocked nn attache-case from under Gladys' arm which caused her to meet Mr Jackson which led to tho solution of tha great Paddington Murder Mystery etc It was Mrs Bowker's absence from tho Coffin menage which started a chain of events and coincidences which spread in ever widening circles until it seemed to touch all London In effect It waa like thumping over tha first block thus causing tho entire line to fall At times the events dove-tall beautifully at others the hand of fat la not so obvious However it would be of no consequence if the book were held together by nothing but a little fiber and Osh glue for Mr MacKall has presented ue her with a group of vignettes which are extraordinarily vivid and entertaining The difficulties attendant upon tho handling of so many characters and diversified situations are hurdled casually and without effort I only mention the absence of conventional plot to forestall possible disappointment when the first picture falls tr on gather momentum and Incorporate nil the succeeding little picture into one large unified whole after the manner of tha usual novel It's not that kind of book A Ciees-Seetioa It Is rather a cross-section of London life and aa ouch it is a meritorious accomplishment The author has stepped outside the restricted range of vision and pictured some of the myriad little dramas which go to make up an ordinary day His characterisations are not merely clever and entertaining they are intelligent Hie humor which he ueee neither avidly nor cruelly but reveallngly la infectious He seems to havo a way of putting his finger right on the or spot of the little vanities and conceits which most of us cherish in some hidden niche and at the same time stoutly disavow possessing This is the first of Mr MacKall' books that it has been my pleasure to read and it has started me well on the way to becoming a MacKall fan Tho characters here dealt with are not all of equal interest but how much ask do you want for your nickel: as a whole they are unusually attractive and entertaining Three in a Bed THREE IN A BED By Roswell Williams William Godwin Inc New York 263 pp 32 By BEN JOHNSTON If tho author of this hook had ever mad up her mind whether she wanted to write a gay bit of pornography a bitterly flippant social satire a drably reaTlstlo version of Progress a wise-cracking commentary oa New Xork life or Just another trashy two-dollar novSIT It probably would have been much more satisfactory Thera is not much evidence it is true that the author ia capable of doing any except the last-mentioned bat wabbling aa she does from one to another of thee seeming intentions she makes the tale of Carieno Dixon a singularly irritating book for any conscientious reviewer to labor through Carieno is the youngest of three latere daughters of a shiftless couple who run a frowsy boarding house in the Adirondack The boarders chase Carlene and eventually on lures her to New York with the promise of marriage She leaves him when he telle ha is al ready married and gets a Job Enter Geid-DIggera Her landlady puts her out when he discovers that Carlene I to have a baby and a philanthropic procuress takes her in After the child ia horn Carieno discovers ta nature of her benefactress' business and leaves her too pur to stay under her roof but not too pure to take money from her Tha money runs out and ths baby dies while Carlene is out on the streets earning more Then Carlene down to her lest dime runs across couple of gold-diggers who taka her in and teacn her the technique of getting something for or almost nothing Tho beautiful Carlene encounters nn embittered young millionaire and after some profession of reluctance contents to marry him past or no past It sounds liks one of the goofier movies it?
