Hamlin Garland Will
Not Risk Publication
At This Time
CALLS 1T HIS
MASTERPIECE
Comes Here to Form
Michigan Branch of
Authors League

"A Son of the Middle Border" )"
which Hamlin Garland believes will
be his masterpiece, will not be pub
nsned right away.
MY heart is an wrapped up In
this book" said Mr.. Garland at the
Statler, Monday, "and | don't want
to publish it In war time. If there's
chance of it making as good as
think It will, don't want to handi-
cap It."
"A Son of the Middle Border is
semi-autobiographical story. The
father of Garland always was push.
ing on to the frontier. Mr.. Garland
explains, and the book will tell
largely of the family's experiences.
Mr.. Garland came to Detroit on
behalf of the Authors League of
America and addressed prospective
members of Michigan branch at the
Pontchartrain, Monday night. The
league. unlike other writer's clubs,
is strictly business organization,
and has in its membership not only
authors, but scnlptors, designers and
in fact every class of person inter.
ested In the copyright laws.
you might almost call it a un-
ion," said Mr.. Garland. We have
about LOO members now, and main
tain a legal bureau which has drawn
up a standard contract favoring the
author as much as the publisher.
That's an innovation, to be sure. A
few years ago, IL you sold manu-.
script to a publieher, the sale prob
ably included all serial. book and
dramatic rights. Now, under the
new form of contract, the publisher
gets only the first serial rights. This
has been taken to the courts twice
and made to stick"
Mr.. Garland Is one Of the vice.
presidents Of the league. which has
only the one branch, and that in De-
troit. Winston Churchill Is presi.
dent. and Theodore Roosevelt vice.
president. On the council of 60,
which meets regularly in New York,
is Ray Baker, the former Petosksy
man who recently moved to the
east.
Mr.. Garland admitted, before he
left for Chicago, that he was aston
ished at Detro!t's growth and then
thanked the reporters who had come
TO interview him "for not making
him talk about Detroit"
He did say. however, that the New
Workers had not picked out Detroit
for branch of the league, but that
Detroit had picked itself His visit
really was in response to a call from
Fred Zelgen, author of a novel and
some movie scenarios and organizer
of the party which met Mr.. Garland.
While he Is waiting for a chance
to publish his masterpiece, Mr.. Gar
land will bring out, In April, "They
of the High Trails" being a series
OF nine. stories about each OF nine

CHAPTER ~.
I Was Preeocious.


My memory goes back to many
incidents between the ages OF three
and four; hence, from such time on,
I write from personal recollections
About my earliest remembrance Is
that of the older children hanging
me up on the edge OF table by my
protruding abdomen, getting me
properly balanced. and then stand.
ing away and laughing at the sight.
Young children who have suffered
much from intestinal disorders uni
versally have enlarged or bloated
abdomcns. I can remember myself,
at this time, as being nearly all head
and belly. But my body soon began
to fill out: and, by the time ! was
six or seven years old, was much
like other children of such age, ex'
ccpt for the largeness of my head.
In point of characteristics, was
mentally very precocious; and, pass
Ing my twelfth birthday, was physi'
cally so, having every appearance OF
a grown man before I was is.
II was the winter was IL years
old that I attended my first four
months term Of school. Those were
the days Of MoGrffey's Readers and
Rays Arithmetics. Now. my older
readers will remember that many OF
the examples" in Rays Second part
or mental arithmetic, were simply
"corkcrs." These problems were ia
be worked out by analysis, without
the use Of pencil or chalk, and many
we're the timesI had to come to the
rescue Of the teacher and explain
them to the class. To me, child as
! was, this was no effort, although
never studied the lessons before
hand. To glance through the text OF
a lesson In any study, to see what II
was about, was seemingly all the
preparation I needed to stand at the
head Of my class at recitation time
The balance Of the time could
spend making pictures on my slate
writing notes to the big girls, OF
fiipping paper wads at the bald spot
on the teachers head when he
wasn't looking.
In those days we only had a -four
months term OF school out Of each
year; and, from IL to Is years OF
age, probably attended about hall
Of each term, more for the social
feature Of II than anything else
Egotistical as II may sound, I could
learn nothing from my teachers that
I did not already know. At rs
passed the county examination fol
a teachers certificate and began tc
teach school myself.
Only once do I remember of ever
falling down on the explanation of q
mathematical problem. The cause oi
that downfall ia history old, and has
been the cause OF nearly all of mans
downfslls, namely, The Female oi
the Species"
She was year or two older than
Just budding into precious youns
womanhood aud sex charm. She was
a kentuckian. and therefore pretty
Nothing sounded swceter to me than

MINISTER'S
ARE POISONED
BY UNITED PRESS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 29.--
Ptomaine rather than an anarchist
plot was the explanation generally
accepted today for the illness that
followed the banquet given the
local Methodist ministers and their
wives.
Several OF the 40 guests were still
sick today, although their condition
was not regarded as serious. While
no examination OF the food served
at the banquet was made, the min.
listers believe the ice cream was re-
sponsible for ptomaine poisoning
