Non-Fiction WOMEN CALLED WILD--Rosita Forbes --Dutton ($3).

Lubricious sightseeing, of the type euphemistically called anthro- pological, by a onetime spy and explorer. Author Forbes tells many a tall tale, embellished by pictures but not backed up by photographs. FIFTY MILLION BROTHERS--Charles W. Ferguson -- Farrar & Rinehart ($3).

Breezy but informative survey of U. S. lodges and clubs.

Author Ferguson's answer to the question: why do U. S.

fraternal societies so furiously get together? --because men are afraid of the wide open spaces. TROPIC FEVER--Ladislao Szekely--Har- per ($3). Plain reminiscences of the author's sweaty experiences as youthful overseer on tobacco and rubber plantations in Sumatra 20 years back.

ZEST FOR LIFE--Johan W011er--Knopf ($2.50). Sumatra again, as remembered by an esthetic Dane, who, 30 years ago, a copy of Keats's poems in his pocket, participated in the last of the native wars which from 1872 cost the Dutch forces over 100,000 men.
