Riley Got $500 a Word.

Heirs of the late James WhitcomD
Riley, the Indiana poet, find that he
got $500 word royalties on his love
poem, "An Old Sweetheart Of Nine"
This is said to be the most profitable
piece of writing per word on record.
Stevenson sold Treasure Island" to
a newspaper for So column. Para
disc Lost" brought Milton only $2S.
Times have changed, thanks to the
printing press and business system
which literary genius used to hold in
contempt.
AS late as a half century ago, artists
starved. Business has made the arts
profitable. Clyde Fitch in eighteen
years received $1,50O,OO0 in royalties
from his plays.

Deadlock Is Forecast.

Tokyo.-Unless the agenda for the
coming conference on Far Eastern at
fairs are agreed upon in advance, diff
culties are likely to arise and questions
be raised that will deadlock the con-
ference, says a semi-oficial Japanese
statement. If the powers desire to
obtain the best possible results from
the conference, it is added, questions
involving merely particular powers and
questions regarding accomplished facts
should be avoided.
