A LEADING critic of American letters
- estimated recently that fly per cent
of our fiction was about New York
City, and forty-nine per cent was about the
West. He charged that Fifth Avenue or the
Bowery or Greenwich Village or Wall street
furnished the setting for half the novels and
short stories; that Texas towns of the bar
room era, or Wyoming cattle ranches or New
Mexican alkali deserts furnished the scenes
for the other half Occasionally Chicago or
San Francisco or Battle Creek or the. Blue
Ridge Mountains clipped an infnitesimal
fraction off New York and the West, but it
was Just that-infinitesim il. the face of
the Gothamized or westernized majority.
This may be true. but one doubts that
American noveiists are any more culpable
than the novelists of other countries. Prac-
tically all British writer's introduce us to their
heroes and eroines in their cradles and live
our their lives in London. No French novel
list ever got away from Paris for any length
of time, and the Russians have habit Of
surrounding their characters with such a
boundless gloom that it is often impossible to
tell exactly here they are.
American letters, too, seem TO be trending
away from the plains and the white lights.
Recently The most successful novels have
been placed in those small American towns
where, according to Matthew Arnold, 'Noth-
ing ever had happened and nothing ever
would happen But in books of the caliber
of 'Main Street." by Sinclair Lewis, and
iona Gales "Mss Lulu Bett,'' the small
town has played an important part, and the
life portrayed has not been the career of the
New York chorus girl or the Wall Street mil
lionaire. Neither has it been the romance of
Buck Jones, tho two-gun man, and the ten
derfoot school-teacher from the east. Ameri-
can novelists are writing about the real
American peope-like those ir Atlanta and
Knoxville and LAGRANGE and G. oss Keys, Ga.
Reading their works one wishe= more power

Woodrow Wilson, La1Uyer

A ENCOURAGEMENT from the White House
~ that Woodrow Wilson will enter the
practice of law with BAH bridge Colby,
last secretary of state under his administra-
ton, comes with peculiar interest to Atlanta.
For it was here Woodrow Wilson was admit
ted to the bar, here that he had his first and
his only previous experience AS practicing
attorney.
1t is a far cry from the Fielder & Allen
building On Marietta street as it was in the
year 1881, hen the young and struggling
lawyer hung out his single there, to the Of
fees in New York and Washington of Wilson
and Colby, .pecialists in international law.
Yet the very contrast in those pictures is
typical of America, The land of spectacular
changes and brillian- successes.
Wilson is one of the few presidents of the
United State who has not been held up to
the youth of he land as sort CT Horatio AL
ger hero. Washington was surveyor Lin
coin was a rail-splitter, Grover Cleveland
was a sheriff, Theodore Roosevelt punched
COWS out west; even Harding, it has not
taken us Ions to learn, played the tuba in
the village band. Somehow Woodrow Will
sons youth, though as stressful and shining
as any of these, has been o'ershadowed by
the college professor and then the president,
the idealist, the COMMANDMENTS chief. Few
people ever thought of Wilson as boy or
even as a young man. His personality and
his problems, the momentous events he has
been facing almost hourly throughout his
administration, have not given us time to
think much about his past in the Importance
of his pre- ,ent.
But his return to lis first love, to the pur-
suit that was his ambition in youth, brings
before us again Wis on of Woodrow Wilson,
he was Tommy Wilson then--toiling
over his law books in Il little office there on
Marietta street. dreaming his dreams surely
but never imagining that one day he would
be Woodrow Wilson, president, or Woodrow
Wilson. of Colby Wilson, destined in all
probability to be the most famous law firm
in the world

A fortune" in gems dwindled to about
$1.32 worth of glass after government as
sayers had finished appraising 1872 "stone,"
weighing from one to twelve carats each,
confiscated aboard the Portuguese steam
ship Sac Vicents and supposed to be part
of the long lost imperial crown jewels of the
old Russian regime.
The office of Surveyor of the Port of New
York Thomas E. Rush thrown into COM
motion Saturday last, when news was
received that the Russian imperial gems"
had been definitely located and the authori-
ties were advised to send investigators over
to the Sac Vicente, at Pier 2, N. R. The
surveyor, skeptical though he was turned
the matter over to his deputy, William Tier
ney, who commissioned Inspector Abe Laza-
rus to visit the Portuguese ship.

bed of DR.. Fernandez Ferredig ships sur
geon, and his eyes met the glitter of 1872
stones" The find was escorted under
heavy guard to the Custom House.
When the acids were applied the "jewels"
burned faster than pasteboard boxes in an
election fire, and DR.. Ferredig was relieved
of all suspicion.

Whv Suffer from Rheumatism

Do, you know that nine out of every
ten cases of rheumatism are simply
rheumatism Ct the muscles or chronic
rheumatism, neither of which require
any internal treatment? The pain may
be relieved by applying Chamberlain's
Lniment, which makes sleep and rest
possible, and that certainly means a
great deal to any one afflicted with rheu-
matism.
