The whole thing is very thinly veiled nd you ean pick out your favorite stool pigeons without exerting your poor little head very much. If you ire a tabloid reader and you missed a few numbers of y ur favorite “revela tion series,” get a copy and catch up. The protagonist is one Dan Fitz- hugh, an assistant in the D. A.’s office. He wanders through the book, collect- ing dirt on most of our revered sa- chems, and in the process gets a mite ticky himself. ‘The book is gripping in its ten-twent-thirt way, and you won't lay it down until you have found out just how Mr. Chile masquerading for the nonce under the title of Panama Gomez, helps solve the yawning Crater mystery. 1 sup- nul pose the author knows what he is doi in writing a book like this.

Sup- posedly a delightful allegorical fairy- with realistic treatment, it tells the story of two physically normal Englishers who marry and proceed to have a dwarf, dwarf’s blood being in the family on his side. He, being the worrying kind, almost neurotically so, fastens the shortcoming, which is really his own, onto his sweet, ador- ing, lovely wife. She, loving the child, nearly has her life wrecked by the black cloud that settles down on the marriage. The child turns out to he a genius, and tho eve out sunnily enough in the end as your Old Uncle said before, the brown taste came upon him and spoiled the hook for him. For your Old Uncle, if he remembers arightly, found fairy- tales, altho pregnant with moral, so far divorced from reality as to make their physical aspects impossible. Here, however, is a story that seems so close to scientific possibility and ay be for all we know and is treated so realistically, to enjoy it. thoroly would be a little like waking up some morning and «njoying finding your wife had borre you a monkey or a book critic. —Tep Snar hing comes e QUICK RELIEF FOR SUNBURN roo: Absorbine Jr. soothes and cools instontly; tekes out soreness ond inflammation; not greosy: wen't stoin; leaves o healthy ton THEY CALL IT “ATHLETE’S FOOT” BUT IT ISN’T A JOKING MATTER @ Many a man and woman has paid large doctor bills and limped around for weeks because o' infection that started with a slight itching sensation between the toes.
