Middle West Virgin Soil for
Authors, says Sinclair Lewis

Greenwich villagers used to be
pretty sore at me for the stuff wrote
about 'Hobohemia.' Greenwich village
is the grave of many young author.
1t will range anew after the war. OF
course few good men live there, like
Theodore Dresser and some of the IL
Illustrators, but most villagers are
would-be literateurs and kris of in
dependent means who crave excite
ment. Too much booze, too much
daIh ing, too much play. and no work
only talk about work.
"We have not decided where we
shall live when we settle down. Mid
die west, probably, Minneapolis, per-
haps. But we are going to be rolling
stones a few years more. Ny office
is in my head. 1t goes where I go.
People who want travel and adven-
ture must take it. The trouble is that
people have too many possessions.
We found that we can store every
thing we are about in a safety de-
post vault. Homes, linen, silver,
books, baby carriages, we can rent
wherever we happen to be. =
Responsibilities No impeachment.
every bride and groom plan that
they will go to Honolulu or Buenos
Aires as soon as they can afford it.
Responsibilities prevent it. That's
their own fault. We have lived in
four places, New York, st. Paul, Cape
Cod and Minneapolis, during the last
year and the baby is only 16 months
old.
'sIt's bully to be living if you don't
have to stop living in order to earn a
living. have had dozen jobs since
l graduated from Yale in 1907. Jobs
on newspapers, on magazines and as
a publishers reader l was always
fired. Fortunately fired, it turned out.
But before l start adventuring I saved
enough for nine months or so. I loaf
the first six, worry about a job the
next two and get busy and hunt for a
new one before my money gives out.
Here's the Secret of Adventure.
"The whole scret of adventure is
to marry the right kind of woman.

Shortage of coat hit the county court house today. and at 10 this morning the engineer in charge had but a single wheeJbarrow full of fuel to heat one of the largest buildings in the city. Many of the rooms were too cold to be used. the lack of fuel neces- sitating the most careful husbanding of the scant supply and lowering of the steam pressure not to let the fire go out entirely.
