MY HOME ON THE RANGE by
Marguerite Wallace Kennedy; Mc- cielland and Stewart: 311 pages.
This is the story of a real home on the range. and what a story!

S The characteristics of the people are described with s frankness and humor and deft use of detail that makes the reader
certain he could name the different adults if he saw them. Her efforts to raise a few tons of onions did not pan out as the book had said. but each experience was profitable in its way. The author was learning the ways of Arizona. It was sure from the start that she would marry the big boss. and she did. and from then on adventures are many and merry and the book is a catalogue of living that is just a bit different and a bit better than anything else of its sort that has come my way.
It is a book that can be read from any chapter and will stand reading and re-reading. as in- vigornting as Arizona air and spic- cd with cowboy sayings. I like it.

Writers have been describing the grandeur of the Alps-and Switzer- land for over one hundred years. There have been many books and countless articles dealing with mountain climbing. Beauty lovers have written much about the wild flowers of the Alps and of the beauty of lakes. IDBFKIUIE blue- agninst the hills, Mr. Gibbon does not omit any of this but describes all with a careful phrasing that is refreshing. and then tells about the history of the country. the cultural background of tlie Swiss peoples. Few realize how loml there have been cities on the swig; plateau, and fewer realize that war had its iron hand on the hillsides for centuries hefore the Normans crossed to Britain.
I had not known of Solothurn. but if ever chance enables me to go there. I will make sure to spend a day in the city for it was known in AD. 219, and was built by the Romans to protect a great bridge there. Two Christians were he- headed there in 303 and the Cathedral was built to commem- orate their martyrdom. The Arm- oury there has the finest collect- ion of armour and weapons in Switzerland. having 400 suits of armour. some of them magnificent.
Monkls book is filled with such information about cities and vii- lages and mountains and customs. until a desire to visit Switzerland becomes dominant. For this is an unusually fine travel book.

in the Bible we read of the pro- phet who went down to the pot- ter's house and "behold him wrought his work on the wheel." Yes. pottery is one of the oldest crafts in the world, and the potter still uses his wheel which is why our plates, etc. are round.
It is. of course. Pllssible for not- rters. by other means. to shape lsquare cups and saucers, but if they use the wheel, the result will be Fl. round dish.
The wheel may be worked by hand or by machinery. As it goes round the potter throws the clay unon it. While it rotates he shapes with his .,l1ands. until it is the right sliape. Hrhen it is baked in 'n kiln and .sfterwards glazed. but its shape is fixed by the potter with his shan- inlz tools while the wheel goes round. '
