from an architectural standpoint than
those in Tucson. where the fine class
OF residences are in many ways notable
Building material costs less i'm Tucson,
it is said. than in Phoenix, and this
NAV have something TO do with the
plainness of the buildings here.
While there are number Of hand

that more were needed in order that

The American Author.

The chief thing in the average Amer
lean novel is the amazing vitality of
the author. He writes always at the
top of his voice. His strenuousness is
unceasing. The reader can almost see
the swollen veins on his forehead; the
tight drawn mouth and flashing eye.
1t is to do or die. And he never knows
where to stop. With his feverish anx-
iety to make points he does not seem
to realize when he has achieved his
purpose and frequently fiZZles out in
effectively. He has ideas. He has vast
quantities of material. He has COM
mand of language. a fatal fluency that
frequently leads to his downfall. For
he lacks a sense of values. He lacks
self restraint. He is fun of tricks and
artfulness. but he is not an artist. -
