18 THE HUTTLESTONIAN CONCERNING BOOKS Of— Thank You , Jeeves by P. G. Wode- house Charles Arnold says — This is very humorous reading. Jeeves, the perfect but¬ ler, pulls his employer through many ad¬ ventures and his reward is always, ' Thank you, Jeeves’.” Red Saunders by Alyward E. Dingle Mr. Arnold continues — A very worthwhile novel; it depicts the thrilling adventures of an English social outcast in the South Seas.” Vein of Iron by Ellen Glasgow Catherine Morey writes — A real tribute to courage. The most widely read of her current books!” End of the Chapter by John Galsworthy Isabel Tuell advises — U A realistic trilogy of modern English middle class life.” Salah and This American by Leland Hall Miss Tuell also counsels— A story that makes you angry and sympathetic. It concerns a hero-worshipping negro and the cruel master whom he adores.” Young Renny by Mazo De La Roche Shirley Kanter declares— Young Renny is the latest addition to the delightful Jalna Saga, which takes place before the time of the first book. Gran, the beloved tyrant, is again the center of all action, and also Renny no longer the master of Jalna, but a young man sowing his wild oats.” Members of the Junior College Eng¬ lish Class have found the fol¬ lowing current books to their liking -- and r e co m mend them for your reading.

THE HUTTLESTONI AN My Pet Pest N o matter when or where I go, I run into a radio, The same old, noisy, pesky box, That pesters me with its loud squawks. Advertisements — day in, day out, I wonder what they’re all about! Which products really are the best? When, oh when, will we ever rest? Bread, and beans, and new Ford cars, Candy, cigarettes, cigars, Toothpaste, liver pills, and ink, Bathtubs, faucets, kitchen sinks! To me, the radio is bunk! Oh, how I wish it could be sunk Down to the bottom of the sea, So it would never bother me! Janice T. Eldredge, ’37 17

THE HUTTLESTONI AN 19 Asylum by William Seabrook Jean Marks announces— after seven months confine¬ ment as a confirmed drunkard, in a ' mental hospital,’ Wil¬ liam Seabrook has written a book, which excellently carries out the proverb that truth is often stranger than fiction.” Discovery by Richard E. Byrd Richard Carpenter asserts— Discovery shows the love of a man for Antarctic life, and pictures the vivid experience of those who wintered there.” On Getting Rid of Freckles RB you cursed with freckles? If you are, or ever have been, you will understand my plight. Ever since I was old enough to look into a mirror and realize that the spotted thing at which I was peering was a reflection of my own speckled face, I have been con¬ fronted with the problem of how to remove my freckles. My mother once told me that by eating carrots I would be able to get rid of these unwelcome spots, so thereafter, I ate the vegetable until I thought I would turn into one. My mother must have been mistaken, as I have not lost any of my constant companions. At one time I removed a freckle from the very tip of my nose, but as the method was not very pleasant, I have not tried it since. The miracle happened while I was roller skat¬ ing. It seems that I took a spill and as I did so, I scraped my nose against a stone wall, taking off the biggest and most obvious of all my spots. Since then, I have resorted to drastic methods such as buying freckle creams, and applying them every night before going to bed. As none of the means I have ever tried have proved to be of any value, I suppose I will just have to be con¬ tent with them or try to laugh them off. Cecelia Barnes, ’37
