Lella: The Life of George Sand,
by Andre Maurois (Harper): A biography of singular power and beauty. Here is the glory and scandal that were Sand's, furnishing a new understanding of the woman whose pen was as bewitching as her cold eyes.
Sand captivated, intrigued, shocked and disgusted France about 100 years ago. She was said to devour young men. Her taste for men's clothing and cigars created vulgar tales. Her wild hunt for love was recorded not only in her own novels but in those of her contemporaries and enshrined in barroom degeneral and vicious jokes. Her romance with Chopin is history. Her thinly-disguised autobiographical novel, Lella, was a franker confession than even she realized.
Maurois has gathered the truth and the "fiction about George Sand, and has written a masterful biography of one of the most fascinating women in history . . .
The Civil War is still being fought, according to Ben Ames Williams, who deplored this North-South schism in his posthumous novel, The Unconquered (Houghton Mifflin). He begged both sides to forget hurt prides, wounds and fears and consider the other fellows problem.
That was the plea of his character, Lieutenant Don Page, Union officer who stayed to marry a Southern girl and learned to love her Southland. A gentle but determined New Englander, Don worked at uniting "the conquerer and the unconquered"—the North and the South, the white and the Negro—through education. He succeeded in a minor way before mob bullets stopped his mission.
For readers who want action, not preaching, there is plenty of it in 689 pages of murder, love, gambling and politics in a lusty, festering New Orleans of the carpet-bagging era.
But Williams also used every kiss, every shot to drive home his peaceful theme . . .
The Man in the Queue, by Josephine Tey (MacMillan) is a detective story recalling a more relaxed and gentle era. It boasts no nude blondes, no brutal beatings, and only one murder—solved by the voluntary surrender of the murderer after Scotland Yard had saddled guilt solidly on the wrong man.
The late Josephine Tey, fondly remembered for Brat Farrar and The Franchise Affair, makes it an absorbing and convincing book for all its shortcomings in the eyes of the Spillane school. It is so thoroughly believable an account of Scotland Yard procedure that it might have been inspired by Supt. Robert Fabian's recent memoirs—If it were not for the fact that Miss Tey's book was first published here 24 years ago.
The Man in the Queue is the first of a series of "distinguished mysteries" to be republished by Mac Millan under the general title of "Murder Revisited." . . .
At a time when practically every body talks about international unity and hardly anybody does anything about it, people are able to overlook an early venture along those lines that has been miraculously successful — the postal system.
Anybody in the free world can alap a few cents' worth of stampe on a letter, drop it into the mail box, and forget it. By train, ship or truck, over oceans and oceans and state or international boundaries it will go to its destination through a system which sometimes slow but occasionally sure.
In Mall for the World, Laurel Zilliacus (John Day) traces the development of this system from a courors of antiquity to the organization of the Universal Post Office 80 years ago—and poised for possible parallel between co-operation and the hoped-for achievement of "one world."

says Madeleine Carroll
YOU NEVER HEARD a story about someone that made you want to meet him? Well, I've just heard one history about a sincere patriot then who is doing something practical about his future and the peaceful future of his country by investing in U.S. Savings Bonds. A story about you! And one that ought to make you feel proud.
I felt good, too, when I heard what a great success story the U.S. Savings Bond Program has turned out to be. For you see, I'm a Savings Bond owner myself! And when you stop to think about how you and I end millions of our friends and neighbors all over America now own more than 49 billion dollars worth of our country's interest-earning Bonds—it makes you realize what a wonderful country we live in and what fine people Americans really are!
For no one has forced us to invest in Bonds. We have invested of our own until today 1 out of every 4 men, children in America is a Savings Bond—the greatest success story of its kind ever known!
I believe you'll agree that we've done only because we have found that U.S. Bonds are one sure way to save money; we're convinced they represent a common help bring peace and security—in a we have come to learn that peace is strong! I'm a Bond owner; I hope
Peace is for the strong... for peace and prosper in U.S. Savings Bonds

THIRD—All maturing E Bonds automatically earn interest at the new, higher rate (average 3% compounded semiannually) for 10 more years. Your original $48.75 can now repay you $33.67. $37.50 pays back $67.34. And so on.

Local Firm Changes
Name of Canadian Plant
With the announcement of completed plans for a new and modern paint plant, now being built to replace the fire-ruined 55 year old Standard Paint and Varnish Company of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, came a further report that the company name would be changed to Rinshed-Mason company of Canada, Limited.
This change became effective Sept. 1 according to president Frederick G. Weed, who also stated that paint production is expected to be resumed in Windsor by December, 1953. Final construction is scheduled for completion in February, 1954, enabling R-M to approximately double the former output of household, automotive and industrial, railroad, marine, commercial, railroad, and other type finishes. New lines of specialized industrial and military finishes will be added.
The Rinshed-Mason Company which manufactures finishes in Detroit and Anaheim, purchased Standard late in 1952. The new owners had installed modern laboratory and quality control facilities, and were launched on a program of new product development and improvement when disaster struck. The plant and offices were leveled with a violent explosion and fire that rocked Windsor on the morning of May 7 of this year.

Lana Turner Weds in Italian Ceremony
TURIN, Italy (UP)-Film actress Lana Turner honeymooned today with screen "Tarran" Lex Barker at his palatial villa in the hills overlooking this industrial city.
Miss Turner and Barker said their vows yesterday in a surprise wedding at the Turin City Hall.
The American Consul at Turin said the wedding plans had been kept so secret he was not informed until the last minute.
However, the word must have been passed around because a mob of reporters and photographers were present when the couple arrived from Revigilasco where Barker is making a movie.
Rporters were not permitted to witness the marriage, Barker's third and Miss Turner's fourth.
Miss Turner's first marriage was to the often wed bandleader Artie Shaw. It ended on a sour note and she married restaurateur Stephen Crane. Husband No. 3 was Bob Topping, the tin plate heir.
