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.

V I 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.

Roosevelt was the only President of the United States to own a summer home in Canada. We speak of the Western Hemi- sphere as the "New World." Act- ually. North Ame ica is a sur- prisingly Old Worl in the gene- alogical time-clock. Indeed, parts of this continent may embrace some of the oldest portions of the globe. Before Adam and Eve dwelt in the garden of Eden and when the two Americans were still under water Acadian-Laurentian ”is- landl' were possibly basking in the sun. . . . In the New Brunswick Museum. at Saint Johns. you may see the skeleton of an elephant that was dug up on July 4. 1936. from the soil of Cape Breton. And at New London, Prince Edward Island, the petrified jaw of anmalligator was unearthed in sandstone many years ago. Cer- tainly. these remains were not planted in the Marltimes by the hands of man. And the fact of their discovery in this part of the New World is proof enough of our lands antiquity. 300 soldiers "died through ex- posure and hardship during the winter of 1775. when General Arnold's American force marched from Kennebec.

Believe it or not, but there are no records to show where the grave of Explorer John Cabot lies.

What is still more amazing no Cabot statue exists in the United States. ” . . . 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.
