REAL HUMORIsT Of AMERIcA
n one Writer'S Opinion, the Country
Editor Il Entitled to Honor
o. the Title.

The funniest things which are writ
ten, and printed In. this country are
not written by Irwin Cobb or George
AIDE or Ring Lardner. They are not
written by the professional hunorist
Of the great newspapers.
They are written by the sO-called
country editors and notably by So
called country editors Of Ohio and
Kansas. We hardly think anyone
with real sense Of humor who reads
large numbers Of newspapers and
magazines and modern books will dis
pute this assertion.
HumOr is merely the ability to see
and react Understandings to the
mirth-prOyoking side Of human nature,
which Is not the least ample of its
sides. A humorous paragraph may be
grossly exaggerated In its interpreta-
ton Of human nature, but human ma
ture must be somewhere down near
the bottom Of II or it is failure.
This explains why humor Is so much
more amusing, so much more satisfy
ing than wit. Wit needs no human
nature as its foundation, 1t may be
simply a llghtning-like play on mere
words, sufficient to cause a smile, q
laugh perhaps, but none OF the solid
comfort derived by the discerning from
true humor.-Ohio State Journal.

Fox RanohInn Ii Europe.

Although 1t IL not generally known,
quite a number Of foxes were sold last
year to parties residing in Europe.
mainly throughout Sweden, Norway
and Switzerland. One rancher who
has supplied q number Of pairs to
these Europeans, states that the In
dustry is spreading In a truly wonder
full manner In these countries, and
that this year he expects to be able
to sell practically all his foxes abroad.
There is only one drawback at present
to a general spread Of the industry
there, and that is the rather high cost
Of feeding, but this IL being overcome,
and the sale Of breeding stock at good
prices, will amply cover the higher ex-
pense. The present rate Of exchange
Is also disadvantage, but this does
not seem to affect those who want to
start in at the business, as the Euro
peans are now used to this. There is
most certainly a big field In Europe
for the fox industry, and that 1t viii
some day amount to something big Ia
a surety.

ARNOLD BENNETT ON WORDS
Repetition Better Than the USs o.
Bad EnoIlsh. IL the contsntIon
Of Noted Writer.

Arnold Bennett hates half-meanings,
and especially he hates inexact words.
He quotes from q London daily and
holds up to ridicule 'sThe King and
queen were present at first night In
a London theater last evening for the
initial time in their reign" His COM
ments are instructive, Malcolm COwley
writes in the Literary Review:
''It is quite q flrst-rate example
OF bad English. The culprit, whose
name is well known to myself and
other members Of the London literary
police force, evidently thought that II
would be inelegant to use the same
word twice in two lines; so he sub
stituted initial for first in the second
line. Perhaps he had never re-
Elected that words express ideas. and
that therefore IL a precise idea re-
ours. the precise word for that idea
ought to recur. The idea expressed
by the word first is precise enough,
and no other English word means what
first means. Certainly initial does
not mean first Still, the man meant
well. His misfortune was that, hav-
ing picked up a good notion without
examining It, he imagined that repe-
tition was inelegant in itself. Repe-
tition is only wrong when 1t is uninten-
tional, and when, being horrid to the
ear, 1t IL reasonably and honestly
avoidable. On the other hand. repe-
tition, used with tact and courage, may
achieve not merely elegance but posi-
tive brilliance.S
Here is Benefits style both In
theory and practice, and the practice
agrees with the theory. The passage
rs not merely clear, but It is brilliantly
repetitive. The trouble is that Bennett
often goes out Of his way to repeat
himself.

If the widow had decided, despite

LIBRARIANS.

THE demand for the trained II
4 brarian is on the Increase. But
many young women are leaving the
regular library to take up allied work
that pays better.
The new demand outside Of the reg
ular library comes from big business
corporations who want their business
organized. Special literature Of all
sorts is part of their daily material,
and they see the need Of proper In
dexing for all this material, and for
making it available for immediate use
as the books in a library are available.
Aside from the bigger concerns are
such clients as lawyer or a doctor
with large practice. Such men win
often have a whole library that is use.
less unless properly indexed.
Many women who began as librar.
ians are now holding excellent posi-.
lions, where their library training
proved the essential in their new
work.
AS the librarian can as yet look for
ward at best to hardly more than 81,
500 a year, the best trained and more
ambitious women are following The
commercial path.
But a librarians training Is proving
to be excellent for other work. NAM
girls do not stop at organizing specia
libraries for their new employers
They go on to become heads Of depart
ments, undertake the installing Of bus
mess systems, Of filing and cata
loguing, and even run Offices Of thei
