Desert Island Men.

The following editorial from the
Christian Herald, New York, May
goth, is reproduced here by request:
Behold, a Fable. Two men, one a
Capitalist and the other Laborer,
were once shipwrecked on desert is
land. 1t was not entirely destitute
of food, but the little there was could
be obtained only by hard work.
Neither of these men had any tools
or money. They were alike in their
needs, which were the same in the
matter of food and shelter. The Cap
italist was a college graduate and he
had employed. in his coal mine hun
dreds of men just like the Laborer.
The Laborer was an average working
man, one of the mines hundreds.
For years he had looked upon the Cap
italist as an enemy and had at times
hated him good and hard.
On the other hand the Capitalist
had regarded the Laborer as so much
muscle to dig the coad for the Com
pany at so much an hour, and he had
never paid any attention to his moral
or spiritual development. For years
suspicion and envy and hard feeling
had been felt by each one of these
men for the other. But now thrown
together on this little island these
two men had Of necessity to become

PERSONETTE
BY IVEkSah F. SCOTT FITZGERALD

The author of This Side of Para disc is very modest young man. In spite of the fact that he has written a successful novel. at the tender age of 23, that the first edition of his book was sold out almost before it was dry and that one book shop sold 100 copies of it in four hours,-wen, in spite of all the foregoing reasons for pride, and many others. F. Scott F'itz- gerald is a shy and shrinking youth who blushes and says all the wrong things when interviewed. He has just one achievement which causes him to cast aside all reserve:
 Last spring when he got out of the army he came to New York to conquer it with his pen It is his proud boast that in the four months from March to,Juue he received 132 rejection slips from all Of our best magazines. He claims to have the record in the rap idity with which he collected rejection slips. When he had no more stories to offer to an unreceptive world he went out in the country and polished up his novel. It was a novel, by the way, which he had written while in an of ficers' training camp during the war Those who were in officers training camps will realize what a talent he must have for using spare moments very spare moments one might almost

 F'iske's "Outlines of Cosmic Philos- ophy'' with dire results. It is hi: plaint that he has never been sure oi the Cosmos since. and he often used to wake up in the night and worry himself into a cold precipitation about it. But of late he has put the Cosmos
 firmly out of his mind and as long as
 no one mentions it to him he is per-
 fectly happy editing his poetry maga-
 zine, The Lyric, and writing deathless
 verse.
 He has much to say about the ease
 with which he edits, and anyone who
 desires to take up editing seriously
 had better read eagerly through his
 article.
 Nothing is more common now adays than to establish a new poetry magazine" says the frank MT. Roth. Its only q matter of getting together enough money for one issue. With only a little application you can find enough creduIous people 10 put up money for subscriptions to cover the cost of printing three more issues. After that the printer will give you credit for at least two more issues your first volume is completed, and.
 
 esta bIished. So why go through the world in any humber capacity when 1t is so easy 10 join the ranks of the Wielders of the Blue Pencil?
 As for finding the wherewithal to fill your publication, nothing could b2 easier Most of the magazines will not consider what they term serious stuff And it is precisely the, serious stuff that makes good poetry. When I started The Lyric way back in May. 1917, I found that the best poets in the land, Edwin Arlington Robinson. John Erskine, Arturo Giovannitti. Lee Wilson Dodd, and William Rose Benet, had great quantities of very fine poems on hand which no magazine would publish because they were either too long or too serious So if did happen 10 publish the best poetry during 1c.f. 1918 and 1919, tand I readily admit O it was due not so much to m. as a chooser. as to thu grand stupidity of the big magazir.s aditors in rejecting it. I purchased ,ne long poem by a prominent poet q To not give his name for obvious req ,ons) for s10. It was hopeless to try to o swear that it will some day rank 1 lmong the masterpieces of American l poetry.
 'So as I say. the business of run | ling a poetry magazine is chiefly moving how to brow beat your print l r. If vou only get into the excellent | abit of not paying printers you can ope to keep going for at least one ear And by that time the supply oe ood poetry lying around loose wi be exhausted anyway

Where the bat winds up. BY FRED TURBYVIILE M Crrk> E4iknr


 FEN ROUTE NORTH-Eddie Roush, nifty outfielder with the worlds cham pion Reds and Rogers Hornsby, pep pery third saclSer of the Cardinals, have begun their 1920 fuss weeks ear Her than usual. Rogers was too un- comfortably close to Roush's batting mark when the curtain was rung down last fall
 This spring Eddie determined he wouldn't miss any early practice and was on hand for spring training. Something unusual for Roush.
 And in the meantime Rogers was waiting for the Cardinals to arrive at Brownsville so he could get in action and begin hitting the first day.
 Hornsby is q late starter Roush wos late starting last year too, but that was his own fault. He prefers his farm at Oakland City. Ind, to life in training camp.
 Maybe 1t was that wonderfur>Miam that lured Roush out so early. Any how. he bundled up Mrs. Roush and

 But first of all he wants to put a re- spectable distance between his own mark and that of Roger Hornsby.
