THE INNOCENT VOYAGE, by Richard Hughes;- publisher. Harper and Brothers, New York and London. - Here is color in theme, color in expression and color in realism in all its pristine glory. Not alone strange but almost fantastic is this story of the West Indies and life on the open seas. It is the story of a family of children who leave the experiences ot West Indian hurricanes and houses for the even rarer experiences of being captured by real pirates and living on shipboard for them for a few months. Power in Lines That Grips Reader. There is a power in the lines of The Innocent Voyage" that grips one a realism so stark that at times it becomes almost frightening. It is rather like a strange dream stripped of its emotional content in which the reader is swept through childhood's episodes and those of parenthood, of native life, of of cruelty, of the strange friendship between bearded pirates and trusting- - children, of earthquakes and hurricanes and all the other earthly, terrors of the southern seas. It is not common writing that Richard Hughes has put into the colorful tale for from the moment you meet these English children, before and after they are despatched oh a sailing vessel to be brought up in England, and from the moment they are captured and taken aboard the pirate vessel you are able to understand the extraordinary power and imagination put into this story. Life of Children Teems With Experiences. The life of these children aboard the piratical sloop is one that teems with experiences. And pirates using Mr. Hughes' types as criterions are not without their sparks of ordinarily human weaknesses and strengths. The pranks of this lively quintet, the very vividness of their silence after one is killed, the air of comraderie that develops on board the pirate's ship, their quick learning of how to take care of themselves and finally their rescue (instigated by the pirate ohleftan himself) and the reunion with their mother and father is London are all told in such colorfully imaginative paragraphs that one, starting the book is loathe to put it aside until the final line has been read. For this young author. Richard Hughes, 'The Innocent Voyage" is his first novel. He has made a quite auspicious beginning and by letting this peculiar imagination of his play further and by a continuance of his of words and by his most welcome lack of superfluity, he should go far up the no veilstic es NEW YEAR BOOK SURVEY OF 1928 THE AMERICAN VEAR BOOK, edited by Albert Buchnell Hart and William M.

And it is this welcoming pleasantness which strikes the charming note that carries this story by the wife of A. K. Coppard through lis many delightful page. Pauline Is a young girl.

President Hoover, incidentally, contributes the foreword to Dr. Klein's new book. France reports a slight increase In her birth rate in 1928, and a small decrease in infant mortality, and this announcement ties up in an interesting way with Robert Kuczynski's discussion of the birth and death statistics of northern and western Europe in his recent book, "The Balance of Births and Deaths." He brings out some striking conclusions, which seem to have escaped other students of the question. - Katherine Holland Brown's prize novel, "The Father," has gone into a sixth large printing, and "Meaning "German No Offense," by John Rlddell, also Adolph Goldschmldt's Illumination'' has Just been published on the John Day list, has gone into America in by the Pegasus Press. a fifth printing. , This is from the Pantheon series, inl A biography of John Mitchell, the wnicn is incorporated the latest scholarship on European sculpture, labor chief who led one of the greatest strikes in American history, has painting and Illumination. been written by Elsie Gluck and will Edna Walker Malcoskey, the young be published in Aorll by the John ' whose novel. first "The society girl Day company.

Blrger Sandzen, who was last year's second prize winner, and whose style resembles no other, is again represented by several of his characteristic landscapes, all of which possess his usual intense positivism.

Philadelphia Again Has Fainting Entered. Susette Keast of Philadelphia, a favorite of last year, should prove a drawing card with her "Italian Houses." Her characteristically happy color and vitality of handling are again exemplified in the transformation of a huddle of shabby tenements into a work of aesthetic feeling and compelling interest. Matteo Sandona. who has been frequently an exhibitor, sends two canvases, one a portrait and the other a figure study. In "The Red Komono" he maintains his reputation as a colorlst, rendering his flesh tones with unusual discrimination. His harmonies are rich, as well as subtle, and well controlled.

NG, LITERATURE Painting by New Exhibitor By Young Writer DAY-MORNI- tnai Scanning the Magazines YALE REVIEW. "Before the war," says Harold J. Laske. writing on "The Problem" in the spring Yale Review, "it had been the keystone of English policy that no nation should outbuild her at sea." He continues: "She needed naval dominion to maintain her communications, and to dominate the ocean in a period of war. Freedom of the seas meant that the world accepted her definitions of contraband. It was an intelligible policy in a world unorganized for peace even when it gave the appearance of peace. It is a foolish and impossible policy in world where America can outbuild Great Britain from sheer financial strength; foolish and Impossible because a naval competition between England and America would end in war to the destruction of both. "What is the alternative? The redefinition, assuredly, of freedom of the seas in terms of a league of nations control of war, An invitation to America to participate in the making of that definition leaves her no enviable alternative. For either America goes in with, the public opinion of the world, or announces her sovereign contempt for it. English admirals, of course, do not believe in the league of nations, as Geneva showed. But the has little use for those who cannot find new ways for new purposes. Englishmen, let it be frankly said, are disturbed by American imperialism, and the American naval If the program causes uneasiness. united States builds in those terms, there will be ill feeling it will be difficult to arrest. And conservative England would find it easy to use the spectacle of American navallsm as a menace. Mr. Winston Churchill and Sir Austen Chamberlain have shown that they do not understand even the elements of the problem. "The average Englishman would cut the Gordlan knot by tabling proposals such as President Wilson foreshadowed in 1919. He, if not his rulers, has learned some wisdom in this decade. And he believes thereby that peace is assumed to assure in its turn peace in the western world.

A few such do exist, but it is out or date to picture the average professor as following along these unes. He will be either a writer of text books, or. in his supreme expression, an expert in his subject, declares Harold J. Laskl, professor of politi cal science in the university of Lon don. In the April Harpers Magazine. He will compile his annual volume upon some selected theme within his province, a history of England, i history of France, a history of Amer lea. If he is a lawyer he will do his casebook. II he is a professor of lit erature he will edit some classic text.

Although tuberculosis has steadily declined since 1900, when organized health activities were launched airalnst the disease, there has devel considerable oped opposition to the movement and criticisms have been hurled against it almost since its inception. One critic writes that there Is no evidence that anything that man has done has affected either one way or the other the decline in tuberculosis which has been continuous for of a century. Dr. Louis I. Dublin, writing in the April Harpers, takes the opposite view and declares that the control gained over the causes of sickness and premature death constitute the most important single advance by the American people in the last fifty years. He gives statistics and the results of Investigations to prove his point. But he also recognizes that the critics must be reckoned with.

The man who get down never need stay down, butthat getting down at times is inevitable is the real gist or this interesting book by C. Harold Smith. In other words he succeeds in pointing out to readers that luck. like misfortune, is not constant and that obstacles and opportunities await the man of initiative and daring. Mr. Smith briefly tells us that a measure of success must come to those who overcome the obstacles and make the most of opportunities. "The Bridge of Life" is the story of a man who has had a varied and ad venturous career. Born in London, C. Harold Smith went, at the age of IS, to the South seas, and by dint of turning his hand to everything and anything worked his way to San Francisco and New York. The story of his early life as salesman is one or romance, humor, pathos and trag edy. A turn of the wheel took him back to London, then again to New York. With his foot once on the lad der of success he mounted gradually to a partnership in one of the world's leading businesses. The author possesses the faculty of being able to report colorfully on his experiences in all corners of the worlds making his book of remlnis cences fully rewarding. WBITTNQ NOT SO EASY.

After years of toll and treading of industrial paths, Dods worth sells his motor business to a It is then his wife, who Seat trust at his side for twenty-thre- e years, lets loose her social and cultural ambitions, and he is persuaded to go abroad to see the world. Following these rather introductory episodes, Mr. Lewis' book concern what happens to this pair in the old world. Reactions on their bod lea. their minds, their hearts and their souls are intricately and surely laid bare. The wife is prepared, with the preparation of the usual proclivities of a woman who has never seen or ever experienced, for what aha meets in 'Europe knowing at bottom, what the snob In her, the woman in her, the romantic and the product of ... luxury in her want Dodsworth himself, on the other is for hand, unprepared anything.

Lorle Now Dictates Anther's eonehulona. In Mr. Lewis' other books, irony has run rampant Here he has turned about considerably by letting loglo and common sense dictate his conclusions. In "Dodsworth." Fran, the wife, is pictured perhaps more vividly than Is Dodsworth himself . The man seems no inspired creation, while Fran, with her snobbishness her romanticizing, her pretentiousness and her easy outward charm, is made quite charmingly recognizable. Dodsworth is more or less stolid, and Lewis makes it very obvious that his man belongs, inevitably, in the United State. Sinclair Lewis is a serious student of manners, and to excellent advantage has be used the European scene, particularly in contrast to his two Americans. There is an interplay of two distinctive civilizations that ia truly colorful. Lewis unquestionably knows his Europe and he knows, further, how to use it in a comparative way. , The book, as a whole, reflects how passing years do serve to change the opinions of writers. Heretofore Mr. Lewis has gone on the premise that the products of civilization needed exposition. But in "Dodsworth" it would appear that he has finally realized it is those civilizations themselves which need broadcasting. GENEALOGY BOOK - INCLUDES HISTORY OF S.
