...DUNES-Harry Kemp-Brentano's ($2). To masculine Poet Harry Hibbard Kemp, neo-Whitmanian, who, bred in Kansas, has gone around the world on 25? and studied "tramping" for years, the sea and its gulls, its tidal slime, fog, dunes and shiny-footed waves, is a source of life in strong, recurrent phases. The first two dozen pieces of this volume evidently reflect a summer spent on Cape Cod with or near a loved woman, whose presence is more felt than seen. Besides these spans, which are briny and refreshing as a dory full of mackerel, are some painful...
...deer season, September 1, but the country is so immense we met few on the trails. Some young people, ror economy, hire a pack-mule and walk, but the trails are steep and often dusty, so that a horse is a necessity for real pleasure. Our horses were mountain bred, sure-footed, and gentle. We estimated the cost for the six days at about $50 each, including food, horses, etc. Nature provided fuel, water, and light, thus giving the meters at home a rest. We lived on simple food of our own cooking, with trout provided, and agreed that...
...ever heard of him? Astute, pudgy gentlemen relaxed; the heavyweight situation seemed unchanged. . . . Later came news of the defeat of clever Jack Renault, tough Johnny Risko at the same hands. The hands belonged to square-jawed Jack Sharkey, carried the potential power of dynamite. Binghamton-born, Boston-bred, this Lithuanian with a famed Irish name* served in the navy, has boxed professionally for but two years. In Boston, he is regarded as the next champion. Away from the ring, the hulking battler is quiet, home-loving; has two little daughters...
...Philadelphia. A great crowd flocked to the Academy of Music one afternoon last week for the opening concert of the Philadelphia Orchestra. "Buzz-buzz-buzz. . ." Well-bred greetings were hushed only when the stage darkened and two swift shafts of light shot out from either wing to frame the pale, curled head of Conductor Leopold Stokowski. Up went his hand and beauty floated, spread itself over the dusky hall-the orchestral season had begun. Mozart came first, an early overture long buried away in the library of the Paris Conservatoire, charming, tuneful, immature; "Pan," a rhapsody by U. S. composer...
Londoners stroked their polls, musing. "It is all a matter of heredity," their countryman, one H. C. Brooke had announced. In collaboration with Dr. F. A. E. Crew of Edinburgh University, he had bred a strain of mice which, when 16 days old, became bald; when three weeks old, lost the fur off their backs; when a month old, ran naked. Some day, predicted Mouse-Breeder Brooke, at the present rate of shaving, clipping, singeing, bobbing, waving, shingling, barbers will be unnecessary to mankind...
