“SOME FOR THE
GLORY”
By Louis Zara
(The Bobbs-Merrill Co.)
n™ V oi th r the Pl £ licati0n oi his new
novel, Louis Zara takes a seven-
league-boots-step into the hierar
chy of leading American writers
Some For The Glory" i s a dis
tinguished achievement in a ban-
ner year of publishing, a novel
yvhich perhaps more than any other
since Dreiser was the literary giant
who walked with his head in the
clouds, captures the riotous color
the gross humor, the sound and
the fury of the American scene,
in it the author richly fulfills the
parly promise which he gave In
TT Ble ^ is the Man" and “Give
Us This Day."
"Some For The Glory" is the
saga of American politics as seen
through the career of Michael
Hawks, an orphan boy whose rise
in the political world was no more
fantastic than the electoral system
which made it possible. Michael
learned the fundamental lesson of
politics early in his youth by win-
ning friends as a precinct worker.
Big John Stacy, who alone con
trolled three wards, took an in
terest in him and encouraged him
in his ambition. It was when Mi
chael became Alderman of the
Fifth Ward, winning over Jesse
Planck, that he was able to face
the future with complete confi
dence. A Michael Hawks Club had
been formed and a steady income
was assured him from the printing
shop in which he had started as an
apprentice. He was no paragon of
virtue, this Michael Hawks, though
it was his gift to be able to emerge
from chicanery like a fresh angel.
Leon Strauss once told him. . .

French for the interpretership ex
amination for which he is pre
paring. He finds his fellow-stu
dents derisive and fails to heed
their warnings against Diana Lake,
a lovely but predatory young wo
man. As Diana explains to Jac
queline. Maingot’s daughter, she
has a gift for making men fall in
love with her; that being her only
gift, even if it is an anti-social
gift, she does not hesitate to use
it. Kit Neilan is desperately in love
with her and the hard-bitten Alan
, Howard is not exactly impervious
to her charms. It is when Kit
and Rogers compare their experi
ences with Diana that they dis-
#>ver her sly game and demand an
explanation. Diana confesses that
it is Alan whom she really loves
and the three men make a solemn
vow to help one another resist her.
They turn the tables on the en
chantress when Lord Heybrook.
the new Ulysses for whom she has
been waiting, turns out to be a
callow youth in his teens.

prospers. That is the sign ( f the
blessed, Michael." After his fourth
term as Alderman, Michael win
elected to the State Legislature.
Step by step he advanced, doling
out political favors here, with
drawing favors there, strengthen
ing hi.s political machine. From
the Mayor’s office, he went to the
Governor's mansion, giving his
wife, Elizabeth, the luxury and so
cial position she had always want
ed. And still Michael Hawks wag
not through: still his political sla*
burned in the heavens. Tossing
his hat into the presidential ring,
he ran against Joel Mackenzie,
losing by only 21 electoral votes
Undismayed he waited for four
years to roll by again; eighteen
million votes represented the voice
of the people and Michael Hawks
had long ago learned that the peo
ple will be heard.
Louis Zara’s book will shock
readers with its bold truths, its
unvarnished picture of political
America. But it is a work which
remains branded upon the memory,
a truly American novel.

of all happiness. They need this
loving-kindness of the star dust,
this justice, this compassion, this
mercy and good will. Give it, oh
wind, to their hearts.
YET, AS IT blpw away, I reach
ed out and stole a handful of its
star dust. My hand glowed with
the ineffable substance and I saw
in the luminous element that which
the Wise Man discovered when he
looked in the pail of water he had
drawn in kindness for the camels.
I raise my hand and scatter this
star dust to whatever hea-t will
take even one infinitesimal gleam
of kindness, justice, compassion,
good will, mercy. To the hearts of
tyrants and the hearts of war-
makers and the hearts of persecu
tors.
My Christmas gift, gentlemen,
even though Christmas is yet so
far, far off.
