...compelling enough, even break quarantine and show themselves in public. Author Faulkner, with a prominent but still embattled reputation as a proseman, now comes forth with a small (72-page) book of poems. It is his second such venture (in 1924 he published The Marble Faun) and only deep-dyed Faulknerites will find it more fine than frenzied. His simultaneous debut last week as a cinema author was more impressive evidence of his versatility...
...Through the racing, crowding thunderheads above, there still broke a few dull rays of yellow light, which reflected eyrily from Memorial's gray and blood slates into the oaken garret. The Vagabond turned from the casement to the dark and empty chimney corner and lighted the lamp by his deep leathern chair; the scurrying forms occupied by nothing, the sight of Sever's portent walls, ugly without benefit of age, called in him a longing for life, for knowledge, for power, and love, ere it were too late.

One supposes that coal beds deep within Carbon Mountain have ignited, generating gas which is bursting the mountain apart and forming cavities into which the mountain collapses. For evidence the burning-coal theorists point to a gas-like hissing which often accompanies a rock slide, to the sulfurous smell, and to pieces of shale charred red and yellow. On the other hand. Dr. S. Boyd Calkins, science teacher in the Durango high school, points to the earthy effusions which last week oozed from Carbon...
