MAGNIFICENT AMBERsoNs:" A MAGNIFICENT NOVEL

The literary critics and book reviewers are continually
asking, "lNhen shall we have the Great American Novel, by
the Great American NoveGst?'" Perhaps never, in the sense
in which the question is asked, for this country is too big and
lis people differ too greatly by localities to make the "Great
American Novel, possible.
Nevertheless, "The Magnificent Ambersons" Is a great
American novel. Booth Harrington is an American of sturdy
native stock. He knows American life and character as only
a native American with generations of American forbears can
knoW them. Moreover he has a charm of style and a power
OF expression which have endeared him to the reading public.
"The Magnificent Ambersons" is SO great a novel that
Booth Harrington has been awarded the Joseph Pulitzer prize

FOR LOWER RENT
Brooklyn Apartment House Dwellers
Demand 80 Per Cent. Reduction
From Landlords

New York, April 30----A new kind of
May day strike is proposed by 10000
tenants of apartment houses and ten
en1ents in the Brownsville section Of
Rraoklyn, according to a, staten ent
made before the board of aldermen by
Barnett Wolff, one of the socialist
members. He declared that 1000
heads of families had pledged them
selves to demand q, 10 per cent. reduc-
ton in rent from their landlords with
the alternative of going to court to OBJ
tain possession of the living quarters
they occupy.
Alderman Wolff introduced a. reso-
luton which was referred to a COM
nlittee, which would put the board on
record as recommending that landlords
make such a reduction and advising
tenants to give the house owners the
alternative of suing. He predicted
that unless prompt relief is granted
organizations similar to that formed
in Brownsville will become general
with comm ttees of tenants in every
apartment house.
