Thayer's Worst; Toward Mental Health
“An. American Girl” by Tiffany
Thayer; New York: Claude Ken
dall; $2.50.
Reviewed by John F. Gallaway
Tiffany Thayer once remarked
in one of his really interesting
novels that the fear of boring his
readers is constantly * in his mind
when he is writing. His latest
grotesquerie, published under the
title “An American Girl’, is posi
tive proof that -he has recovered
from this obsession of his literary
adolescence, for nine-tenths of
“American Girl” does nothing but
bore, and the remaining tenth is
not. even decently dirty or spieily
tantalizing in the accepted Thayer
stvle.
The book is like nothing so much
as an unintentional imitation (and
not such a good one, at that) of
some of Thayer's earlier efforts.
Just as “Call Her Savage” was a
let-down from “Thirteen Men"” and
“Thirteen Women"” just a pretty
good mystery story with none of
the keen satire of “The Greek”
o is “An American Girl” just an
other novel, designed to sell solely
on the strength of the unbelieva
ble frankness of its immediate pre
decessor, “Three Sheet”. Its one
redeeming feature lies in those in
frequnt passages in which a ghost
of Thayer's caustic humor walks
through - this modern fairy tale,
this “Graustark” up to date. .
In spite of the fact that Tiffany
Thayer's name appears in bold
print on the title page there ‘is
little other evidence that he had
anything to do with the writing of
this so-called biography of a typi
cal Hollywood actress. To begin
with, the characterization of the
young lady playing the title 10le ig
so poorly = done that you know
practically nothing more about her
at the end of the last chapter than
yvou knew at the end of the first
chapter in which she is mentioned.
Incidentally, mention of this Am
erican girl is made surprisingly in
frequently, considering that she is
supposed to be the show's head
liner. For pages and pages the
author rambles along, talking first
about one character then another,
until the reader wonders when in
the name of all the muses of nar
i'}"&’l:ive prose the story is going to
get back to a mention of the per
‘son who is serving a¥ an excuse
for all this discourse. iy
There is, unfortunately, a decid
ed similarity between “An Ameri
ean Qirl” and those one-star mo
tion pieture productions in which
the star gets lost in the shuffle,

The Strand opens the week
with a two day show, “Soldiers of
the storm’” with Regis Toomey
and Anita Page. This is an eXcit
ing story that centers arouni
drug smuggling. Wednesday ‘“Be
hind Jury Doors” is the picture
and Thursday and Friday Myrna
Loy and Conway Tearle play in
“Vanity Fair” with Ken Maynard
closing the week Saturday in “Dy
namite Rance,” ’
because he or she can’t carry the
burden of a sweet and simpie love
interest on his or her shoulders.
As in the case of the movie, in the
book two minor characters who
typify romance with a
capital “R” take the spotlight
away from the character for whom
it was originally designed.
Thayer, after an introduction
that appears entirely foreign to the
subject at hand, gets around to
introducing Mary Guiness, the
American girl who has the custo
mary passion that all her sisters
are supposed to have for Kleig
lights and microphones, together
with their customary lack of abil
ity. Fast upon her heels comes an
other young lady, born in New
York, of Andrachian parentage,
and reared in various countries of
Europe and Asia. There are times
when one wonders which of the
two girls is referred to in the title,
with neither of them offering suf
ficieny excuse for the perpetra
tion of her life story on unsuspect
ing Tiffany Thayer admirers.
The most unfortunate thing
about “An American Girl” is that
it will justify the claims of these
persons for whom Thayer has no
appeal that he has not, and never
will, write anything else to com
pare with “Thirteen Men”. There
is some‘consolation. however, in
percentages based on his other
books, which have been alternate
ly best-sellers followed by para
sites on the best-sellers’ reputa
tion. |
MENTAL HEALTH 3
“Towards Mental Health” by
Charles Macfie Campbell, M. D.;
Cambridge: Harvard University
Press; 110 pages; $1.25.
“A new department of hygiene
is rapidly developing,” Dr. Camp
bell says in the opening of this
little volume. *. . . . it leaves ta
general hygiene the study of the[
principles and of the measures|
which are important for the in
tegrity of the physical machine,
but takes for its concern those
functions . . . . which give . . . .
it human quality, functions in vir
tue of which the individual . . .
plays his role as a member of the‘;
social group and adapts himself to
the world in its wider aspects.”
Dr. Campbell then procedes to
discusg various topics related to
the subject which he has outlined,
dealing specifically with “The
Schizophrenic Problem” (which is,
incidentally, the sub-title of the

Tippett Addresses
Metropolitan Life
Insurance Banquet
Urging a return to honor,
honesty, confidence, integrity and
faith in the relationship between
employer and employes, Rev. T.
W. Tippett, pastor of the Prince
Avenue {Baptist church, was the
prrincipal speaker at the annual
banquet of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company Friday night
in the Georgian hotel.
About 75 agents, their wives,
and visitors, from Athens, Gaines
ville, Covington, Commerce,
Greenshoro, and [other surround
ing towns, attended the annual
gathering of the Athens district of
the company.
“You have missed the great pur
pose in life if money is your main
objective,” ' said Rev, Tippatt.
“There are many things worth
more than money, both to the em
ployer and employe. The greatest
tragedy that ever comes to an
employer is to lose confidence in
‘his employe, The employe should
give full value of service for the
the pay received. It is dishonest to
receive pay for service not ren
dered.”
_ Rev. Tippett denounced business
firms who, althought doing the
same amount of business, have
cut salaries and employes in or
der to gain more money during the
depression period.
Talks were given by Mrs. 8. N.
Hill, Athens, Mrs. J, J. Ballard,
Gainesville, and C, C, Franklin,
district manager. Mrs. Hill urged
cooperation of the wives with the
agents. Mrs. Ballard gave per
sonality sketches of the Gaines
ville agents, Mr. Franklin dis
cussed the growth of the Metro
politan life Insuranceé company
during the past year, and said it
had neither cut salaries nor re
duced the number of employes
during the depression period.
Soloes were sung by Lester
Quattlebaum, Gainesville, Mrs.
Quafttlebaum gave piano selec
tions, and the Male Chorus of the
I'rince Avenue Baptist church
composed of L, C, Alexander, H.
D. Walace, Walter Pledger, and
R. N, Wilson sang.
. The affair was known as
“Ladies Night”, and the wives of
agents winning in the Bales con
tests were awarded . prizes. Those
receiving prizes were: Mrs. C. F,
Daniels, Mrs. S, N, Hill, Mrs. Les
ter Quattlebaum, Mrs. Compton,
Mrs. Montgomery, Mrs. Faulkner
Mprs. Ballard, Mrs, Bond, and Mrs.
H. N. Chick, Mr, Childs, winning
agent of Covington and a young
bachelor, was given a silver belt
buckle.
A FISH WITH CHEATERS
SAN FRANCISCO.—Among tne
many specimens of queer and rare
fish and birds brought back from
the islands off the coast of Mexico
and Central America, by the Tem
pleton Crocker Expedition, was a

which inhabits the shallow rivers
of Honduras, swims. close to the

on top watch the surface of the
river for more food.
of insanity which have formerly
come under the head of dementia
praecox, and the author presents
various cases from hospitals to il
lustrate his points.
The first division of the book
treats of the general field of
mental hygiene, the importance of
the personality and social situa
tion in studying that science, and
the scope or territory of schizoph
renia.
In the next division, Dr. Camp
bell discusses three types of schi
zophrenic cases: those influenced
by repressed sex factors, those
which illustrate the craving for an
independent personality, and those
which illustrate tht longing for
personal value. The use of actual
cases in discussing these types
makes this chapter nog only inter
esting but at times ever exciting
The third chapter, treats of “Here
dity and Environment.” Dr. Camp
bell does not go into agumenta
tive discourse on the subject; he
merely shows the force which en
vironment may have, and shows
how environment must be studied
in an attempt to correct certain
hereditary traits. He writes about
the force the attitude of the cul
tural environment towards sex
has; the influence of parents on
the independence and psychosexual
development of the child; and fi
nally the aid philosophic and re
ligious belief in adaptation.
The final chapter of this little
book is a brief summary: after
summing up the various factors
which mental hygiene studies, the
author says: ‘“Mental hygiene can
not guarantee the happiness of the
individual, which is partly depend
ent on unknown factors of destiny,
but it can do much to foster the
full utilization of personal and so
cial resources.”
The chapters of “Towards Men
tal Health” were originally deliv
ered as lectures at the University
of Chicago. They thus avoid the
denseness which one frequently
finds in books of its type. Easily
understood and easily read, “To
wards Mental Health” is a book
which should be widely read; it
gives an insight into the subject
of insanity, an insight into the
problems which too many people
are prone to pass over lightly but
which must be faced sooner or
later. As the author says, the
sooner people look on mental hy
giene as a necessary factor in life,
as a factor as necessary as phy
would be. “Towards Mental
Health” is a book which should do

Information on
Forestry Camps
Received Here
Information regarding the en
rollment of recruits for the unem
ployed forestry camps was sent to
G. D. Marckworth, professor of
forestry at the Unviersty of Geor
gia, by R. Y. Stuard, forester of
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
The University Forestry school
has received numerous requests
for information, and although it
has nothing to do with employing
workers for the camps, the school
is glad to give information. Pro
fessor Marckworth expects all
graduates of the University For
estry school whe are unemployed
to become leaders of the new
camps.
Mr. Stuard’'s letter said:
,“The enrollment of men for em
ployment in this work is being
conducted by the Labor depart
ment in cooperation with relief
agencies, and the Forestry Service
has no part in it.
“The men enrolled will be as
sembled in temporary condition
ing camps and whilé there will be
classified as to previous training
and experience. Men needed for
supervisory positions will be se
lected from enrolled men as far
as possible.
“Employment other = than this
will be limited to a comparatively
small number and confined to pro
fessional foresters and to men
trained locally in the special
technic of particular jobs or lines
of work. This group will consist
almost entirely of men employed
on federal or state forests in the
past and who are familiar wtih lo
cal forest conditions and local
work standards.
“The Labor department will con
sult with state officials having
handled the administration of un
employment vrelief in respective
states, and will arrange for selec
tion of men from lists c¢f appli
cants for work and for other as
sistance which already exist in
every state in the Union. These
represent those longest unemploy
ed and in greatest need of johs.
Until these already existing lists
are exhausted, no further appli
cations can bs received any
where.” !
Mr. Stuard explained the call
for young men bhetween the ages
of 18 and 25 as follows: “Young
unmarried men have had the
greatest difficulty in recent yea:rs
of securing either work or relief,
and they need the jobs both to
take care of themselves and their
dependents.”

150 YEARS OF AMERICAN HOMES
BY GEORGE E. DEADWYLER
Secretary and Treasurer, the Mutual Building & Loan Assn.
1. The American Home—Cradle
of the Nation. :
Go back to the year 1776 and
see the signers of the Declaration
of Jndependence before they ride
forth to the never-be-forgotten
Continental Congress in Philadel
‘phia. You will find them reading
by their firesides, sitting down to
meat in their wide dining rooms,
each in his own home. All down
the list of fifty-six men, from
-Charles Carroll of Maryland,
wealthiest of the signers, dwelling
on his vast landed estate, to Rog
pr Sherman, enjoying the Con
‘necticut home he had acquired by
thrift in the days when he was a
cobbler, vou will find them in le
gal possession of a piece of ground
and a dwelling thereon. In them
and their realization of the home
cownership ideal you will find the
cradle of the nation.
In 1770, only one room of the
world-famous Monticello, in Char
lottesville, Virginia, was com
pleted. But Thomas Jefferson, its
builder and author of the Declar
ation, moved into this rudimentacy
home that year, watching it grow
into the mansion to which titled
Europeans paid extravagant com
pliments when they visited him in
later years.
Before 1765, Benjamin Franklin
had built a home in Philadelphia,
the city where he had arrived on
foot some forty years before, car
rying his food and his clothing in
a bundle. That home of Franklin's
represented one of tha never-end
ing possibilities of a thrifty youth.
It was something more than an
ordinary dwelling place. In 1785
he had it enlarged to include
three stories, providing apart
‘ments for the meetings of the Am
erican Philosophical Society .
Home-ownership was aiding the
development of American thought
Ain those days.
There is a long list of the sign
ers who built homes—some dozen
of them in all.. Samuel Chase
spent two years building his An
napolis home, begun in 1768 and
famed as a piece of untoward ex
travagance because it had & back
stairway. Chase House is today a
home for destitute, aged and in
firm women., Signer William Paca
built his home in Annapolis in
1763 and made its foundation walls
five feet ‘thick. It has served the
state of Maryland as governor's
mansion and is now used as a ho
tel.
In New Hampshire, in Hillshoro
county, the point out to you the
home built by Mathew Thornton
at Thornton’s Ferry. It is one of
those square, twe-story houses
with a eentral hall-and a fireplace
in each room. In the same state
in the ecity of Kingston is the
home that Josiah Bartlett built,
with its hand-made nails and its
old hoard lathing. And in the
front yard flourishes the linden
‘tree which he brought back from
Philadelphia on that three-weeks
horseback journey after he signed
the document which made him fa
mous, Revolutionary soldiers used
to train in the attic of that home.
Once again home-ownership play
ed a big part in the beginning of
the nation. There is but one ans
wer to the question of “How can
these homes still be lasting to
day?” They built strong houses.!
as they built a strong nation, these
Fourth of July men. |
. Some of the houses they built
were sacrificed for the sake of fu
ture generations’ right to free
‘home-ownership.. The country
house which Francls Lewis, New
York delegate, had built on Long
Island was plundered in 1776 by
the British. William Ellery s
Rhodé TBland home ‘was burned in
the course of the Revolution,
Thén there were those who
bought their homes. Edward Rut
ledge purchased a three-story
‘'mansion in Charleston, S. C,,

which is still standing and occu

and Thomas Stone of Maryland
were early exemplars of the farm

The larger number of them in
herited their homes, sometimes di
rect, oftentimes, by marriage.
There is George Wythe, of Wil
liamsburg, Va., first professor of
law in the United States, who re
sided on Palace Green in the
home built by his father-in-law.
It is used as a Parish House to
day. Among other dwellers in an
cestral homes were Richard Henry
lee at “Stratford” in Virginia;
Eenjamin Harrison, at “Berkeley,”
in Virginia; George Reade, at a
irome near Newcastle, Delaware;
Caesar Rodney in an ancestral
home still standing seven miles
from Dover, Delaware; John Han
kock in his white stone mansion
fronting” eastward on Boston Com
mons, the bequest of his Uncle
Thomas, and temporarily used by
Lord Percy as British headquar
ters; Philip Livingston at “Kings
ton” in New York state, and Car
ter Braxton in King and Queen
county in Virginia, who inherited
a cellar full of finest wines along
with his mansion, land and slaves.
So we might go Jown the line of
the signers and their homes. We
would find the wealthy Carroll
walking off with home-ownership
honors, having built one manor
house, Tuscarora, inherited an
other, Doughregan Manor, and
built a third, Homewood, for his
son.
It all goes back to this.
The Anglo-Saxon peoples have
a peculiar liking for the one-fam
ily home. It is their idea of the
way to bring up the family. Land
hunger was one of-the strongest
motivations for . the colonial emi
gration. These people knew what
to do with the Iland when they
got it. They built homes there
vand lived in them. Therefore the
flag of their mother country rather
than that of ¥France or Spain
dominated the pre-revolution Am
erican landscape.
One hundred and fifty: years
have,k passed since the signing of
the treaty which ended the Revo
lutionary war and brought into
existence a new nation. In that
period the ideal of home owner
ship has dominated every phase of
national life—it has ' founded A
nancial institutions, it has influ
‘enced laws, it accounts for the
Tourth Amendment to the Consti-
DANGER WAS HIS LIFE AND
HE LOVED IT...Thrills, Chills
