...LORD OF LABRAZ-Pio Baroja -Knopf ($2.50). The Spanish hail Señor Baroja as their most popular living talespinner. He writes a little like Dickens, a little like Stevenson, always like a Spaniard-that is, with bold light, harsh shading. His story here is quite simple-a blind nobleman in a priest-ridden hill town quixotically shoulders his brother's misdeeds, earning only calumny and spite from the populace, renouncing society and going to wander, Lear-like, over the bleak table-lands with a wronged barmaid for his Cordelia, a Basque beggar for Poor Tom.

There indeed was material for one more of the half-hymn-half-folksongs that Kentucky mountaineers sing in their cabins to the soft thrumming of guitars.* They sing the death of Floyd Collins, who perished in Sand Cave at Cave City, Ky., in February...
...seven years since a humming speck moved across the 1,960 miles of fog-hung ocean separating Newfoundland and Ireland, and deposited Captain John W. Alcock and Lieutenant A. Whitten Brown safely on "the other side" in 16 hours, 12 minutes. The late Lord Northcliffe enriched those two flyers with some $50,000 in prize money and prophesied that soon London newspapers would be sold the day of issue in Manhattan. But no man has since attempted the feat of a non-stop transatlantic passage in a heavier-than-air* machine, though of late years a Manhattan hotel man, Raymond...
