CYNTHIA CODENTRY?Ernest Pascal?Brentano ($2). The psychological network that entangles Cynthia Codentry and causes her retreat from metropolitan philanderings to the dumb worship of Dirt-Farmer Swedge of Long Island, all unravels to the old copybook line about him who hesitates.

Publicity for the countrywide network of detection that finally caught him at Muncie, Ind., would scare other super-crooks, of which the underworld is full. Hammer, hammer, hammer on that! Besides, our readers like a sensational murder trial now and then, reported ably and with just a trifle less color than the yellow press lays on.
