...home in the North. He was born in County Monaghan. In 1919 between guerilla skirmishes with the British, he varied his military career with the prosaic duties of an auctioneer and valuator. More important, he can handle a hurley with the best of the Republican Army. Hurlers consider his monograph, "The Ethics of Hurling," a standard authority...
...ROBACK, University extension lecturer and instructor in Psychology has, if nothing else, made clear the issues in the study of personality in his recent brief monograph. Students expecting detailed accounts of abnormal cases of the introvert and extrovert, or long digressions on sex inhibitions, phobias, complexes, etc., will be disappointed.

...AMOUR OR THE ART OF LOVE-Paul Geraldy-Button ($1). A realistic Frenchman, Author Géraldy here lectures on what most Anglo-Saxons would call profane love. But he titillates no libidinous itch in this little monograph of precepts. Here is a plenty of theory but no rules of thumb. Many a bewildered Babbitt might profit by one or another of these Gallic apothegms. For example: "I love you" should never sound like a call for help. . . . And don't bother to tell me that you insist on being loved for what you are. You are worth more...
