HONESTY IN FICTION

Joseph Hergesheimer, in the July
 Yale Review.
 The need for honesty requires neither explaining nor justification' buA perhaps, it would be the better for the clarity of definition. In literature it means nothing more than the admission of all the creative writer's store of Knowledge and per sonal belief. All, straight -forwardly stated, with deference to no other knowledge, no matter how ponderous, to no other belief. however tyranni cal. Whether or not the knowledge and belief are valuable is another thing; the novelist has no further re responsibility; time and exterior wisdom will take care of the world. And this is what I meant in saying that contemporary life often seemed to me to have been made from cheap fiction--knowing for the greater part, the truth about their lives and hearts and occupations, men yet com sent to hypocrisy of pretended sem tiNental lies thinner than the false faces of bal masque. Cheap novels and cheap, resentful lives One sup porting the other. But where men have found errant masculine stories they have read them with wonder and delight.

Swimming Popular

"The swimming fad has certainly struck Birmingham and this district" said J. H. Peterman, and every pool. lake and river anywhere near here Is usually crowded with swimmers. For the first time in my life I have taken up the practice regularly and have visited practically every swim ming place in the district in search of one that isn't crowded, but as yet haven't found it.
 Especially are women swimming this summer and nearly all I have seen can really swim, and many are expert swimmers. This I attribute to the pools which are visited during the winter in the city, but just the same, both young and old are partici- pating and enjoying this sport"

ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Sept. 12-
A message to former service men was
delivered here yesterday by President
Harding at the oceanside, which in
cluded attendance at church, an adj
dress to veterans Of the Fifth Divis-
ion, A. E. F.. and an hours stroll
among the board walk crowds.
After attending the Chelsea Baptist
church with Mrs. Harding and his
other guests, the president found sew
eral hundred Fifth Division veterans
assembled in front of his beach front
hotel when he returned. Standing on
chair, the president urged that for
mer service men aid in solving the
problems Of peace as they have those
Of war.
There is nothing too good in Ameri-
ca for its veteran defenders" said the
president. '.AH America is proud of
what you and your division did at the
tMeuse. All America is proud of what
our soldiers did in the critical days
OF the war"
Apparently referring to the soldiers
bonus legislation, President Harding
declared that the nation would spare
no efforts to care for its wounded and
its disabled defenders.
'sThe man who came back wounded
and impaired inability to carry on the
vocation of his life deserves the FULL
est aid in our power to give, and
propose to use all influence I have
to see that he gets" he said. But
1 am not much concerned with those
who came out of the war unimpaired.

that we are interested in your welfare.
81 am not unmindful of the job you
did over there. I am not unmindful
of the service you rendered to the
country under your former commander
and / ask that you will render me the
same faithful service during the years
I am in office. There is still greater
service to be rendered in establishing
national lines of peace. 1t is up to
you to help solve the problem that
has been thrust upon us by the enemy
from within.
Il want this to continue as an
America of opportunity and service,
and an America Of grateful apprecia-
tion.''
At 9 o'clock this morning, despite a
| light drizzle, President Harding took
mile tramp on the board walk and
was given enthusiastic receptions.
with difficulty he waded through
crowds which pressed from all sides.
He shook hands with hundreds, most
| ly children, was bombarded with flow
ers and finally the crush became so
great he was forced into a side street.
Cireling around through the city amid
applause from crowds on cottage and
hotel porches the president returned
to the boardwalk and finished his
stroll to his hotel.

Harding were the guests at dinner OF

JEWS GIVE RELIGIOUS
PAGEANT FOR CHARITY
Affair at Asfor Depicts
Troubles of Race.

A pageant depicting the tribulations
of the Jewish race throughout the CEN
turtles and the manner in which the Jews
have clung to their religion and ideals
was given last night In the grand ball
room of the Hotel Astor by the women's
division OF the Federation for the Sup
port of Jewish Philanthropic Societies in
New York.
Several thousand persons, including
many of the most prominent Of the race
in this country. went to the hotel to view
the pageant and exhibitions Of the work
done by many of the philanthropic or
ganizations. These will be continued
and the pageant acted again this eve
ming and tomorrow evening, and there
will be another pageant, The Menorah,"
this and tomorrow afternoon.
In successive scenes the story of the
Jewish race, strongest under persecu-
tion, is carried forward from the time
of Abraham, who preached the idea Of
one God. In colorful settings and cos
tunes, in dancing and in acting, the play
is remarkable, for the scores of men,
women and children in the cast are all
amateurs. most Of whom have never
acted before.
The worship of the golden calf and
the return of Moses from Mount Sinai !;
the persecution of Jews by the Inquisi-
ton In Spain in 1892, a pogrom in Po-
land. and a present day incident In
America, are the principal scenes. The
action is bound together by a duel of
words between a sage, played by DR..
Leon w. Goldrich. executive director of
the Hebrew Sheltering Guardian So
ciety, and a skeptic. played by Carl
Lang. Through the scenes the spirit of
idealism, Miss Katherine Samstag, floats
at crucial moments.
Mrs. Sidney c. Borg. chairman OF the
womans division of the ways and
means committee, spoke of the fedora
tiof's purposes before the pageant was
presented.

University of Chicago and Prof. Claude
