In these days of prohibition this book solves the hostess’ problem of what to serve to drink. All she needs is a stock of syrups, shrubs and vinegars, says the author. “If, however, she is inclined to think it an arduous task, let her turn to these recipes, and she will be convinced that the labor and the time expended bring their own reward in ... a delicious drink delightfully made.” (Foreword) The contents present an exhaustive array of recipes for fruitades and punches and drinks hot and cold—non-alcoholic cocktails, syrups, grape juice, root beer and cider, hot drinks such as coffee, chocolate, etc., drinks for invalids and children, sundaes and sauces, ice-creams, sherbets, etc. There is an index.

STOCKBRIDGE, FRANK PARKER. Yankee ingenuity in the war. il *$2.50 Harper 623
20–8261
It was as a reaction of the author’s patriotic pride to the slanderous disparagements of America’s participation in the war that the book was written and for that reason it is limited to the consideration of distinctly American enterprise. It has, however, not been written for the scientist or the technologist, but for the average American, neither skilled nor interested in technical details. A partial list of the contents is: The mobilization of science and industry; The Liberty motor; American military airplanes; The chemical conquest of the air; Potash, sulphuric acid, and dyestuffs; Poison gas; Some extraordinary ship-building feats; Some Yankee tricks in undersea warfare; The wonders of war wireless; Medical and surgical achievements. The book is profusely illustrated from official photographs.
