...MYSTERY IN ASIA?Ferdinand Ossendowski ? Dutton ($3.00). The Polish author-scientist-sportsman who has already interested the American people in his Beasts, Men, and Gods here narrates some of his earlier adventures on the same continent.

The Alards were land-poor and stubborn with pride-they could afford to keep two cars for the sake of their position but they could not afford the most necessary repairs on their farms. As a matter of economic fact they cumbered the ground, and the slow pressure of economic facts at last destroyed them.
