Across the continent they talk, call each other "Old Man," but seldom meet. Their relative freedom in the use of U. S. air waves they credit to The Old Man (pseudonym under which Founder Maxim wrote for QST-see p. 67). When in 1914 Inventor Maxim was unable to reach with his Hartford transmitter a fellow amateur 30 miles away in Springfield, he arranged to have his message relayed by a third amateur operator, conceived and organized the A.R.R.L. to put such relays on a nationwide basis. In 1919, when the U. S. Government was reluctant to give...
...Author. Constance Robertson, who has written one other novel, Enchanted Avenue and a mystery, Five Fated Letters (under the pseudonym Dana Scott), was born in the house of her grandfather, John Humphrey Noyes, founder of famed Oneida Community (1842 to 1880), one of whose concerns was breeding the Superman; consequently it was kicked around by public opinion till it was changed to a corporation which now manufactures silverware.

Slipping into his ready-made disguise, Cairnes set out to avenge his son, soon finds himself involved in a conventional dilemma-one of seven suspects in a murder case, all with unsatisfactory accounts of their actions at the time of the killing. The mystery is literary because its solution depends largely on a critical analysis of a piece of writing: a sensitive detective finds revealing insincerity...
...Jungle is undoubtedly an American. Beyond that, he is one of publishing's minor mysteries. Knopf conspicuously omits biographical notes from the jackets of "B. Traven's" books. Guesses have ranged from the suggested, that here is a modest author, to, that here is a pseudonym used to avoid damaging the writer's reputation in some solemn field. The books themselves give few clues. They are written in a dry, travel-talk style, as awkward and as full of irrelevant observations as a letter home...
