CROOKED

CR(OOKED, Iby Maximilian Foster.Pahiladlelphlia: .J. B. Lipp~incottCo. $2.00.

In most of our ultra modern novelsit is a third party that w recks thehaplpy home, and the eternal trianglelsometimes elaborated to a square isthe theme of suoth books. But anothepr

cXseof domestic difficulties present inoulr Inoderll metropolitan life is treat-edl in novel forni in "Crooked" b~y M\ax;-imnilian Foster. Perhaps this forceeuay best bge ternied the desire forlheepinlg up wsitll the Joneses.I

It all started ollt from a seeminglyij-1ppy hionie. But wvhenl the wife of

I

the employer of Bertha's husband in-vited Bertha to go shopping in orderto shaow off, things be-an to happen.After buying a dress that cost morethan her husband's salary "or twoweeks, Bertha decided that all Char-les- neeled was a little pushing. ButCharley wvas one of these unusual hus-binds that one seldom meets in mod-ern novels, for he really loved his wifemore than anything else. So he sub-Initted lo being pushed even when itled him to a partnership in a prosper-OllS bond house of rather doubtful hon-estY.

Thiings went better flnancially atleast. Thev had fine clothes, a goodcar, fine friends, and lived in an exclu-sive apartment hotel. But in otherways things were not going so w ell,and the results form an exceedinglyinte esting and unusual story. Thereis an astounding amount of realism tothe story, and the characterizationsare unusually clear and human. Aboveall the style is excellent and is de-cidedly different from the usual mod-ern novel.

TRACKS IN THE SSOW, by IordCharnwoodl. Nelv York: The DialPress. $2.00.

Detective stor ies are a considerable| lange from biography, but when afamous biographer Writes novels ofthat type, we expect something al)ovethe orcinary, especially in the line ofi character portrayal. Nor are *Xe dis-|appointed; for Lord Charnv-ood. fam-oIus for his biography, "Abraliam Uin-coln," has made al excellent mysterystorv of "Tracks in the Snow."

Here wse finr no superlative detee-|rive who -solves the deepest mystery inall afternoon, but an orlinary humanileinl. a, frienl of the murdered inan|to wh(,rm it is a matter of years be-fore lie rouns across the solution to the

probleml. Yet in spite of the tilineelapsed Ilie stor% does not drag, as thechalactlrs as ;sWell as the action holdthe interest. The element of mvs-tery is well sustained to the end ofthe boolk, anid the misleading tracks inthe snow· mnake a perplexing problemfor us ats well as for those concerniedldirl't' i!- eart-it the nlul der.

Althv!ouh Lhe l)ook follows rather

THE SON

THE' SOIK, by Hildur DixeLius. NewsYork; E. P. Dutton & Co. $".00.

Fewver Scandinavian novels findtheir way to America than those ofother European coiantries. It is there-fore With uncommnin interest that w-epieh up " The Son" by Hildur Dixe.Lius. Although w% do not find it thet lie of novel that our twentieth ceu-turY American civilization has devel-oped a great demand for, as a mearnsof obtaining an insight into the oldSwtedish vicarages and villages of fiftyto a hundred years ago it is excel.lent.

It carries the story of Sara Aleliaand her family and especially theson. Erik Anton, through life, love,anl death as they come in the baTrenregions Or Sweden. Religion, mixedwith elements of the supernatural andsuperstition, plays a large part in theirlives, as they do so frequently amongpeople lacking so many Of the com-for'ts. It has well developed charac.

a remarkable difference, when one considers the importantfactors which influence fraternity men to take part in activi-ties. We still believe, as we did in the first place, that fraterni-ties are not free from those Mrho take no interest in Technologyso far as participation in activities is concerned. If this lackof interest w,,ere explained by application to studies, the facultyadvisers of the fraternities, at least, would be highly Unleased,but that is another story.

It is not strange that there are more fraternity men com-peting for staf positions. In the first place, the fear of coldwater on Monday night makes the freshmen work their hardestat their jobs. There is a universal slogan in fraternities-!"Every freshman out for something", and this fact. right at theoutset, furnishes a fraternity nucleus in the organization. Thenon-fraternity freshman has no such stimulus, and thus onlythose compete Who are inclined to take the time from otherwork.

The very fact that a student joins a fraternity is prooi thathe is originally interested in something other than the bookeducation he attempts to acquire at Technology. This interestin extra-curricular work may continue to include one of theorganizations investigated. Then, too, there is the fact that afraternity man not only finds personal satisfaction inl winning acompetition for a high position, but also know-s that his successis a credit- to his fraternity.

Wve found in the course of the stud~y that the non-fr-aternitbymen feel that fraternity politics plaer such an important- part finthe elections that no one else has a chance of a high position.Howeever, this is clearly not the case. If a man is conscientiousin his wsork for the job, time after tine has been show n that hissocial affiliations play no part at all in the voting.

Outstanding in the considerations on this matter is the factthat the fraternity and non-fraternity average of grades is sonearly equal that the difference is negligible. This shows con-elusiv ely, then, that scholal ship i~s as important vlsithin fra-ternities as it is outside.

AV!e havte talken the only means for a comparison that was athand. The results show a lather largre difference in participa-tion in activities, but when one considers the veery importantstimuli which influence fraternity men to compete, this differ-ence has no particular weight. W~hy, thell, do fraternities sosneer inaly mockS the "brow~n-baggers" ? They exist, trueenough, but they are by- Io means essentially non-fraternitymen. It is an attitude which perhaps does more than any onething t o cause discord among the factions of the Institute. Ifwte rid thle school of a long-held fallacy wte shall be aiding imn-mensely in ou'r progress towards the goal towards which every-one, faculty and student, is striving-a Greater Technology.

BROWN-BAGGING GREEKS

WVVE began this investigation, the results of which are pub-lished elsewhere in this issue with the belief that there

were as many "brown-baggers" in fraternities as outside. Inorder that we might make as fair a comparison as possible,a study was made of the individual affiliations among eightundergraduate organizations.

Life at the Institute is generally considered to be divided intothree groups: the dormitory group, the fraternity group, andthe "brown-baggers", or those whose whole existence is de-voted to assiduous study. This is not a wholesome division;in fact almost any other would be better. We believed thatthe general acceptance of this division was a fallacy, and whilethe results do not directly contradict this view, neither do theysubstantiate it.

The results show that there are in student activities 60 per-

Larus & Bro. Co.Richmond, Va.Gentlemen:

Two years ago my wife gave me anexpensive pipe. I smoked it a greatdeal for two or three weeks, put it aside,then began smoking it again. Thistime it was very strong. Veterans toldmne that it had been smoked too bardfor a newt pipe and sh Guld be put away.

The pipe was laid away again. Ashort time ago I got it out and smokedone of the common brands of tobaccoin it. The results wvere disappointing.I told the druggist of my experience16th it. He asked if I had tried Edgesnvorth. I told him I never had. I fol-

- oaned his suggestion, and I am honestWhGen I say that it has restored the

sw~eetrness to the pipe, and has madeMze wvender. Was it the pipe or theb~rand of tobacco that caused me tokyv it away for the long period of timne?

A's a1 novice, I prefer Edgewfortb. I,2'- ,,Ding to stick to it, as I feel sats-tied'that Ihere is none better on the

. iarket.. ~~~Sincerely yours,

New Campws Wdll BeCcmZpefed By Fall

Work on the new campus is

improving at a great pace, judg-

ing by the various noises and

the isitense activity which is go-

ing orn in the Great Court and

the smaller courts. A large num-

ber of trees have been planted

all over the grounds, concrete

walks are being layed out, the

courts is being graded, the grav-

e) is removed, and all is ready

for the laying of the sod, which

will replace the unsightly

stones. Exclusive of the trees,

the cast of improving the courts

will be $25,000. By the opening

of the fall term the work will

have been completed, and re-

turning students will be greet-

ed with a green campus, sur-

rounded by trees-there, there.

and there-and no longer will

Technology have its old eyesore,

a campus which can't be walked

upon.
