IT'S A FAcT-ABoU1 FICTION.

Most people read fiction nowadays
and most people who talk about
fiction at all have the idea there IS
being poured out upon us each year
q food of fiction.
Eut, to the surprise of most II
there ever was a flood of fiction 1t
is at ebb tide-and ebbing strong.
In 1895 20.3 per cent OF books pub
lished was fiction. Last years ng'
ures show only S91 per cent fiction
This gives rise to interesting ques-
tons, Are we becoming more "in-
tellectual'? Are we getting to be
more solid" and matter Of fact?
Don't the thrillers get" US as they
used to? ST. ."
Anyway, a growing percentage OF
books deal with sober, serious fact
and the good old heart throb plot
that thickens is on the wane.
1t is interesting to note that the
decline has been gradual since 1885,
q and so It can't be laid to the war
as most everything else is.

STEEL WORKERS NEED HOMES
Housing Problem at the eethlehsms
10 Becoming More Acute
, Than Ever.

South Bethlehem, Pa.-With the en-.
try of the United States into the war,
the housing problem in this phenome-
nally growing steel center has become
more acute than ever.
1t is estimated that to house prop
erly those who should reside in the
Bethlehems, but who are compelled to
seek residences elsewhere, 6.OOO to
10000 more buildings are needed.
= Private building has been going on
at the rate of 1900 houses a year.
Charles NJ. Schwab has just an
nounced his, company will put up
1900 more workingmen's houses this
year at a cost of $5,0OO,OOO, this be-
ing equivalent to building town Of
between 5000 and 10000 persons. But
the situation will probably be as bad
at the end of the year as it ever was,

SCHOOLS OUT!

- Vacation time really depends on
the children. When they are out of
school, with books closed, parents ask.
what shall we do for the children
this summer" Soon the rest OF the
community is affected with the con-
tagion and vacation time Is really
under way.
Travel is always popular. Resorts
at lake and mountains, forest and sea-
shore promise rest and amusement.
Camping canoe trips, hunting and fish
ing lure those who enjoy the siren
uous life.
Whatever you enjoy don't let false
ideas of economy, as a war time
measure of patriotism, deter you from
getting some sort Of a vacation. II
you have been accustomed to long
railroad trip and feel that Liberty
bond would be better and more pa
triotic investment, that is for you to
decide. But don't allow the change
in plans to prevent your taking that
two weeks off from your. office or
work bench. If you feel that the
country needs your effort in the two
weeks go out in the country and help
with the harvest
The big industrial corporations
don't release their Office forces on pay
from purely altruistic motives. It's
a part of the efficiency movement.
There's good money in it for them.
"All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy" is true maxim that has
lost nothing with age. Physical rest
is usually unimportant to the vaca-
tioneer. Men will 60 out in the woods
and perform feats that would simply
kill them in the city. and come back
all the better for it. It's the change
OF occupation. the release of the mind
from its accustomed channels, the
meeting with new people, and the
new angle on life, that makes vaca-
tons pay.
You will find that there is more &C.
complishment in a 5O-week year than
in 365-day grind.
