born population prefers to read stor1es about American life, but whatever the reason the ten and fifteen-cent books have tremendous following, strange as it may seem to readers who prefer a better class of fiction.
 Publishers of the "dime novel" con- tend that it has been unjustly criti- cized, that their stories are never inn moral, and however lurid they may be in scene and action, virtue always triumphs. After seeing the lengths to which the movies" have gone in providing thrills" the "Nick Car ter" school seems almost innocuous, while Laura Jean Libbey has never in her most hectic moments perpe- trated anything that would serve as vehicle for a film vampire"
 Let superior minds marvel if they will, but small boys are not the only readers of the "dime novel," It is said of a we'll known Birmingham capital ist that he likes nothing better than shutting himself up in his library and devouring "dime novels" finding the practice a relaxation from business cares. There are many other business and professional men who have an un- confessed weakness for the same kind of reading matter

I am not speaking of the ones under the manage ment of the Boy Scouts, the Y. M C.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

when you hear a wife admitting that her husband is a good husband she really means that he is good listener, Another of the mysterious things in life Is how having tub suit washed will make the coat draw down to your heels and make the pants draw up to your knees. Why is it that a man never thinks of travelling for his dealth until it is too late to catch up with it? A woman never thinks of writing a real long letter to ano .her woman until 1 she hasn't thing to write about Any wife can tell you that the reason why husband is so well pleased with himself is because there is absolutely no reason why he should be- A man expose his ankles clear to the knees. But he can't make them ex- citing the way girl could if she did it. If man doesn't make fool of him self over woman before he is 25 it is sign that he will make twice as big fool of himself over one after he is 45 Perfume and talcum are better than nothing in hot weather. But they are mighty poor substitutes for soap and water.
 The first baby is an event. The next three are incidents And after that ba bies are a habit After 20 years or so of married life couples seldom forget the wedding anni- versary.

 It was predicted some years ago that the so-called "dime noveP' would never survive motion pictures, which presumably would transmit thrills more wildly and in shorter time than sensational fiction. Incidentally, such other favorites of yesteryear as Laura Jean Libbey, Bertha M. Clay, Mrs. Southworth and Augusta J. Evans are enjoying large sale. Publishers state that the demand for the ten and fifteen-cent book has increased fourfold and while natural ly gratified, they are at loss to ex- plain a situation totally unexpected. S Were it not for the increased cost of production it is said they would be making more money than ever before out of business that was supposed to be no longer profitable.
 It is rather remarkable that buyers of paper bound novels do not care for books about the war;. It has been suggested that they are going back to the old favorites to forget the war. Ancther theory advanced is that in xhrge industrial centers foreign

ATTENDANCE AT SUNDAY
SCHOOL INCREASES AS
RESULT OF CONTEST

Interest in the contest between
Miss Hogan's and Mr.. Peterson
classes of the Lead Avenue Methodist
Episcopal Sunday school is growing
These two classes are engaged in Il
membership contest which has in
creased the enrolment. Last month
the young men lost and were hosts
to the young women at a splendid
banquet given in the church parlors,
This month they hope to reverse the
result.
The membership committee has
been at work trying to locate all
young men who have no church and
next Sunday they hope to surpass any
previous attendance. Any young man
who is without church home is in
vited to attend the meetings of Mr.
Peterson's class at 9:45 o'clock Sunday
morning at the Lead Avenue Metho-
dist Episcopal church.
