SCRIBNER'S FOR 1921 1846 JOHN GALSWORTHY SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OF JOHN 1921 GALSWORTHY'S NEW NOVEL "TO LET" GALSWORTHY'S Writing of fiction is a serious career and a constant development. The social phases through which England and the world are passing are of intense interest to Galsworthy. This new novel takes up some old friends from previous novels and many new characters. The fact of Mr. Galsworthy's acquaintance with America makes what he has to write of unusual importance. WHEN THE AUTHOR OF "HOME, Nothing can be more pathetic or in its situation more dramatic than John Howard Payne, who wrote the most-loved song in our language, sitting in a debtor's prison in London just one hundred years ago trying to write a play from a French original that would pay his debts and give him again his freedom. In his beautiful handwriting, clear, precise, and in carefully chosen. English, the distressed author sets down the progress of his play, the troubles with the managers and actors, the difficulties of rehearsals, the anxiety to procure permission to attend the rehearsals of his own play. This authentic document of a real experience would be pathetic as fiction; as reality it is profoundly tragic. THE NEW WOMAN OF JAPAN By Emma Sarepta Yule. The author writes: "I am just back from my trip looking up the new woman' in Japan, Korea, and China. I found more going on in feminism than I had expected. It is a serious and, in Japan, an aggressive, even militant, movement." These papers are not from a casual traveller, but from a resident in the Far East, a professor in the College of Agriculture at Los Banos, and a trained observer. WHAT IS ON THE MIND OF THE ENGLISH WORKMEN? There has recently appeared a striking volume, much commented on, entitled "What's on the Worker's Mind," by Whiting Williams. The author, who had experience as an officer in an important steel company and left it to investigate these conditions by working himself in various mills and factories in this country, is now repeating the experiment in England. He is getting at the heart of the English workman. He has found, for instance, an admiration among them for "American bosses." His observations on beer-drinking for the workman versus prohibition are most pertinent at this time. There has been no such record since Wyckoff's "The Workers." CAPTAIN RAYMOND RECOULY IN CZECHO-SLOVAKIA Captain Recouly, the author of "General Joffre and His Battles" and "Foch, the Winner of the War," cables from Prague that he has just finished a journey in Central Europe, through Czecho-Slovakia, along the frontier of Poland, and through the most picturesque parts of the Carpathians. He will describe the possibilities of the new republic. No better observer of conditions in a new country can be found than this brave soldier, who before the war was a diplomat and journalist of distinction. SCRIBNER'S FOR 1921 My Brother THEODORE ROOSEVELT BY CORINNE ROOSEVELT ROBINSON THE SISTER OF COLONEL ROOSEVELT has spoken scores of times, particularly before young children, about her brother and his views. on the right kind of good Americans. Now she has set down the intimate personal recollections of her brother from nursery days until he became the leading citizen of the world. "I want to write my own recollections of him," says Mrs. Robinson, "our talks together all his life, our personal letters. My view of him in the book is THE GREAT SHARER, giving his life and the best that was in him to his family, his friends, and the country." This remarkable narrative will run through SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE, beginning in an early number. THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA The ending of the great war brought a tremendous stimulus into every field of human thought and activity. In sciencemedicine, engineering, chemistry, physics, agriculture and aviation there have been epoch making discoveries and inventions. Art-painting, sculpture, music, literature and the drama have received their share of this new, vigorous interest. There has been a marked renaissance of reading. The industries have felt the stimulus in the demand for greater production, although business has had to contend with serious problems of labor and finance. There has come a new and intensified interest in social service, education and a new spirit in religion. People are taking a greater interest than ever before in athletics, in sports and games. As a direct result of the war and the participation of the United States in world affairs, there has been aroused a great incentive to the study of history and of foreign countries, their peoples, government, products, resources, customs and commerce. This tremendous quickening of thought and activity puts upon every man and woman a great responsibility to understand the meaning of the present day developments in science, art, industry, economics and politics. The necessity for authoritative, comprehensive and unprejudiced information has never been so great. The Encyclopaedia Britannica, known for one hundred and fifty years as the standard authority and the greatest guide to accurate information among English speaking peoples, furnishes the foundation of knowledge most needed by the business man, the manufacturer, the worker in the industries, the scientist, exporter, importer, student of world affairs, the social worker and teacher. Is America on the brink of a panic? Will underproduction and lack of labor prevent a panic? Will the cost of living fall abruptly? Will wages continue high? Is the fall of the Bolshevist regime in Russia imminent? Will Germany fulfill its peace treaty obligations? By means of the extraordinary articles in the Encyclopaedia Britannica on economics, industries, politics, government, labor and capital you will be able to obtain a clear insight into the problems of today. The Britannica will aid you to understand the issues brought up in the political campaigns for President, on prohibition, on suffrage, on tariffs, on currency, waterways, transportation and on government ownership.

"Without research no scientific discoveries or inventions have been made" MORE ORE than a decade ago MAZDA Service took form in the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company. Chemists, physicists, metallurgists and engineers, coordinating and cooperating in a steady forward drive for scientific knowledge, have built the fountain-head of experience and technical skill from which MAZDA Service flows. The laboratories that house it are without counterpart in the world. MAZDA Service has made possible many things. Its outstanding achievement is the MAZDA lamp. The modern X-ray tube, powerful, adaptable and reliable, is another result of the search of these men for the perfect incandescent electric lamp, and the study of the thermionic ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA emission of its filament. This is one example of the far-reaching influence of MAZDA Service. What part this influence played in the use of electricity in the war; what it has contributed to wireless communication, through the improved vacuum-tube; to surgery, in X-ray development; to the art of lighting, with electric lamps as large as melons and as small as peas; to industry and commerce, to the progress and comfort and health of humanity. is a story that has not been told. Because it has entered deeply into everyday life, because the benefits it has brought are universal, the story of MAZDA Service is worth telling, and worth hearing.
