This is the first novel of Lady Elanor Smith, the daughter of Lord
Birkenhead of England.
She has
been intensely interested in the life
of the open road, and speaks Romany
fluently. She treats the life story of
Joe Prince with understanding and
sympathy that is amazing in one in

is the tang of the open road, the enthusiasm, the vivid description, the

whole story ring true.
AFFAIRS OF STATE
By Ray Collins
T h e baseball opener proved an
cast in which many specailtacular errors were witnessed. T h e
score was tied only once and that
was in the beginning of the game.
Manager Maslan was m a s t e r of the
situation at all times and with his
keen baseball mind he was able to
direct his men and keep score at
the same time.
However, in the
sixth inning he became disgusted
because of their inability to carry
out his instructions, and as a result
he took his bat and ball and went
home.
Nevei theless, his
trustworthv friend, Mr. Schoor, took the
reins in hand at this point and with
his marvelous ability and s t r a t e g y
in left field he was able to wave
signals to the boys and at the same
time wave to the ball as it passed
him by.
Hut even apart from the novelty
of looking at erstwhile dry subject
matter in a new and fascinating
light there is the element of sociability.
Any number of people
here seem to feel that the s u m m e r
session is sadly lacking in just that
respect and here is an instrument
for the betterment of social conditions ready at band.

would be tried out at Yale university
