FINDING NAMES FOR NOVELS
Modern Authors Differ From Those Of
the Past In Selecting Titles for
Their Volumes.

Modern novelists find it difficult to
find titles for their books. but, charac-
REALISTICALLY, Dickens could always hit
on q score or so Of titles for his
books, and found difficulty only in the
selection of one from among so many.
For "Bleak House." for instance, he
drew up a list of twelve possible IT,
tles-including THE Ruined House"
"Tom-all-alone's," THE Solitary
House." "The East Wind" BLEAK
House and the East Wind"-and sub
mitted 1t to Forster for selection. It
is worth noting that in the end Dick
ems always chose the most effective
Of the titles he devised.
Talking of titles for stories, how is
It that the eponymous title is Stunned
by modern authors and frowned upon
by publishers? Surely the name Of
your hero or heroine should be good
enough for q novel. Fielding, Smol-
lett, Sterne, Thackeray, Dickens,
Meredith all favored the eponymous
title, and 1t is certainly easier to re-
member than any other. What could
be better than "Tristram Shandy," or
''Pendennis," or David Copperfeld,"
or Richard Feveral"? Mr.. Pugh's
TONY Drum" is a perfect title,
worthy of that remarkable book. The
catchy title that so many modern
writer's seem to strain after is, as
often as not, by no means easy to re-
member, and when you have finished
the book you wonder what the title
has to do with It. Let us get back to
simplicity in this matter.-LOndon

HOME RULE BILL
BODIES CIVIL WAR
IN GREAT BRITAIN
Liberals Now Line Up to Pre-
vent Dissolution of ParIia-
ment and Submission of
Question to Popular Vote.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON, Feb. 11-LiberaI mem
bers of parliament were lined up by
their party leaders Wednesday to de-
feat the unionists' demand FOR the
dissolution of parliament and the
submission to decision by "a general
election of the Irish home rule ques-
ton. 1t was expected that a division
on the resolution Of Walter Long
calling for such action would take
place in the house of commons in the
afteDnoon. Hundreds focked to the
commons Wednesday anticipating a
session as interesting OF that OF Tues
day when the home rule fight opened
with threats of civil war if the gov
ernment persisted in its course or
pressing the measure TO passage.
The speeches of Sir Edward Carson
and Bonar Law. the Ulsterite leaders.
were awaited with tense interest.
These two men have led the Ulster
opposition ever since the home rule
bill was introduced and at every turn
have fought the aims of Premier
Asqu1th and his colleagues.
Supporters of the home rule bill
declared Wednesday that Aspuith
would have 10 carry the measure
through or go down to political OBJ
liVion because of violated pledges.
They asserted that any weakening at
this june ure would forever destroy
the liberal party, though many OF the
most earnest OF the measures cham
pions admitted that they would like
to have a satisfactory compromise
proposed by the opposition.
King George IL eXerting every le-
Ultimate pressure possible 20 effect q
compromise He has indicated to
Premier Asquith at recent confer
ences that a pacific solution Of the
difficulty should be reached
The plan proposed by Sir Horace
is TO have Ulster included in the
plan for home rule, but 10 grant II

ton Of a given time If the operation
of the measure proved unsatisfactory

$4,000, against Thomas Pryor Gore.
L. $. senator from Oklahoma, was be-
gun before District Judge George W.
Clark Wednesday.
The formidable array of counsel on
both sides and the sharp legal skir-
mishes which marked the opening, in
dicated that this will be one of the
bittereSt legal battles ever fought in
this section Of the country.
Mrs. Bond came in with her hus-
band, Julian r. Bond, and took a seat
close behind her attorneys. She was
dressed plainly in a blue serge suit
and small. chic hat. She and her
husband left the court room after a
conference with her attorneys.

is the victim of a political frame up
and declares that he wants the case
10 be aired to the fullest extent in
court and that he vii he able 10 show
