BEANY AND THE RECKONING ROAD

This time it takes the already beloved Beany Malone of Miss Weber's series, a trip to California to bring about the further flowering of her romance with the Morning Call's young red haired reporter, Norbert. With the prospects of a two weeks summer vacation from her own job as helper to the Morning Call's problem solver spoiled by Norbert's increased interest in his trade and in other girls, Beany jumps at the opportunity of driving to the coast to visit her sister. Norbert, of course, finds himself there too. In the welter of events that includes scoops, caring for a friend's horse, finding out more about people and their feelings, this latest Malone story is a good bit of human interest, a good bit of newsworld background. Excellent for hours at the apple-supplied window-seat.
