sic? Most people are ready to believe
that the reconstruction period has
been responsible for much, and are
willing to make due allowances. Is 1T
not time however, that we took a
more constructive view of life, more
constructive view of conditions and be-
gan to send out hopeful thoughts
through our books, our music and our
art?
Books reach the home in way
that nothing else does. Books are
discussed around the freside, at the
dinner table, at the club function and
elsewhere, but it is in the home that
books have their greatest influence. Is
it not therefore necessary that writ
ers should deal with life as it is, not
characters, or the "goody- goody" type;
there are dramatic situations enough
in any life to make material for a
novel; but it does not seem necessary
to believe that all of the dramatic
happenings or all the material for
novels is to be found in the under
world or that other world so close to
the edge of the underworld, that group
of people who have no responsible
ties, who live entirely for the mo-
ment, who seek nothing but pleasure
and who have no idea of contributing
anything to life, but live only in the
senses-live only to get, never to give.
This great Country still offers
plenty of material for the novelist.
Newark post., 1922-04-05

There are romances of all kinds to be
found in the stories in our hamlets
and in our villages-nor need we
feel that because there are no longer
Indians to fight or forests in which
we have to blaze our ways that we
have exhausted all our resources. The
great American novel has yet to be
written. Is it not possible that the
time for that novel has arrived and
that a reaction from the bub-
bles and froth of present day litera-
ture there may come the real Ameri-
can novel which shall deal not only
with our great irrigation plans and
our gigantic industrial enterprises,
but with the strong American charac-
ter-the character which has develop
ed from background of ancestors
who fought and bled and died for the
glorious cause of Liberty, and who
were as strong and rock-ribbed IS
are our native shores.-Portland Ex-
press and Advertiser.

Rebels Against
Fiction OF Today
Maine Editor Believes Nov
els Do Not Represent Real
American Life

What has happened to our books /?
Current literature is causing many
people to wonder whether the times
demand the type of novel that is be-
ing produced, or whether the writers
are creating a demand. Surely there
must be within the next few years
novels of strong character, novels that
will stand the test of time, novels that
will not only be best sellers, but that
will also show heroes and heroines of
great strength of purpose, and in
which will be involved principles
rather than pleasures. One who reads
the novels of today is struck by the
lack of reason for their existence. To
be sure we have had the usual best
sellers, but we have had for the most
part books of love and mystery con-
tanning neither real love nor real
mystery. Many of the so-called mys-
terry books are written with the evil
dent purpose of appealing to the mo-
tion picture industry; series of in
tense dramatic situations do not by
any means make novel.
The same is true of the novels in
which love is the motive, for a few
thrilling situations in drawing room
or several fiirtatious wives or equally
firtatious husbands do not by any
means give material enough fofa book
that is really worth ones time even
though one values his time lightly.
To be sure, we live in a fuctuant
world, and literature moves in waves
as does everything else. We seem at
the present time to be on the crest of
a wave Of froth, and can only hope
that the time will speedily come when
we shall again have novels that we
can discuss around the family table
without shame.
The few fine, clean and wholesome
books that have been written in the
past few years have proven their right
to exist by the ready sale with which
they have met. Why then, should
writers find it necessary to give us
only a cross section of life, rather
than a story that tells us of life itself.
We must of course, make allowance
for the "after the war" period, but
have we not about reached the end of
endurance when it comes to this ex-
cuse for careless, slipshod writing, or
the careless and slipshod in art or mu-

Stylishly Cowned Woman
Leaps Under Tube Train
Feminine Spectators Hysterical
as She Is Crushed to Death
hy Wheels

fashionably gowned woman, ap-
parently about forty years old. threw
herself under the wheels of Hudson
& Manhattan tube train at Hoboken

The train was within fifteen feet of
her when she leaped and wheels of the
forward truck crushed her to death.
Passengers waiting on the platform
had observed the woman pacing up and
down. When she plunged under the
train women screamed and several be-
came hysterical. The motorman stopped
his train within twenty-five feet. The
front car had TO be lacked up before
the body could be removed.
A gray silk gown of the mode, gray
silk hose, black patent leather pumps
a black hat with flowers, a gold chain
with a black crucifx, and a plain gold
wedding ring were among the things
worn by the suicide. A string of imita
ton pearls was wound twice about he1
throat. Her eyes are dark gray and
her hair black and heavy. She was

Stewart Fern Cuthbert Sd, spe-
cialist ems yed by the Xray Cor
poration, l31 East Twenty-third
Street started out Saturday morning
with his wife and Richard Clark to
have some fun. They piled into
shiny new touring car in front of the
Cuthbert residence, at 60 East Thirty
fourth Street, bound for Atlantic City.
Early Sunday morning State Troop
ers came upon Cuthbert and Clark,
gripping each other fiercely and rolling
on the ground near Clementon, N. j.
The faces of the two men were sticky
with blood, and their clothes were
torn. The shiny new automobile was
battered against fence, and Mrs.
Cuthbert, with broken nose, was
trying to separate the two men.
Troopers Stop Rumpus
The state troopers stopped the rum
pus and took the trio to Camden. 1t
was only few minutes after o'clock
when they reached there, but Squire
Wright was called from his bed to
give the prisoners an immediate hear
ing.
Cuthbert declared that Clark had in
suited his wife 1t was just after they
had left Camden that the alleged in
suit was flung. Cuthbert said he
reprimanded Clark and that in the ex-
change of words that followed a blow
was struck.
Cuthbert was driving. Without paus-
ing to stop the car he clambered into
the back of it 10 get at Clark. Mrs
Cuthbert took the wheel and for two
miles she drove while her husband and
their friend beat each other with beer
bottles. heaved and grunted, punched
and scratched in the confines of the
tonneau.
Ran Auto Into Fence
The automobile finally came to a
stop against the fence Mrs. Cuth-
bert could not do two things at once,
and in trying to stop the fight and
steer the automobile she drove the car
off the road.
No sooner had it stopped, according
to the testimony, than Cuthbert and
Clark took their combat to the road
Mrs. Cuthbert cried and tugged at
first one of the fighters and then the
other. They paid no heed to her, and
she was hurt.
At the end of lit all Cuthbert was
sentenced to serve sixty days in Cam
den County Jail for driving an automo-
bile while intoxicated. Mrs. Cuthbert
and Clark were sentenced to fifteen
days each on charges of disorderly
conduct Mrs. Cuthbert tainted in the
arms of the chief Of police when sem
tence was passed.
Influential friends responded to ur-
gent telegraph messages, with the re-
suit that Mrs. Cuthbert and Clark
were released Sunday night on the
payment of fine of $40 each. All eff
forts to have Cuthbert released were
in vain. The Jersey law does not &C.

Street, by four policemen, who were
compelled to jimmy. several windows
and doors before they could lay hands

light in which his captors were bat

Astless, coatless and col!arless, he was
hustled into a patrol wagon and taken
to the Tombs.
Mr.. Berkeley was released yesterday
On 81, 600 bail, his trial being fixed for

events it was just a case of out of one

Berkeley was released from the Tombs
be was placed under arrest by Deputy
Sheriff Murphy on a body attachment
issued by Surrogate Cohalan.
Failed to Appear
The attachment was issued because
Mr. Berkeley had failed to appear in
discovery proceedings brought by Mrs.
Harriet w. Peters, as Administrative

N. White. Miss White, who conducted
boarding house at the West Ninety
FIRST Street address, died last March
from the effects of burns. After her
death Mr. Berkeley, who had been her
attorney and also was the star boarder,
laid claim to ownership of the house,

brought the discovery proceedings to

her sister and also to establish it's
ownership.
