personal experience on the part of
the author. The latter, Hubbard

ence that he was able to gather the
material and background for his
novel, which deals with young mu-
sician who becomes a worker in a
large steel plant. Hutchinson is
graduate of Williams College, and
during the war served in the army.
The musical theme that runs through
the story is also traceable to the
young author, for he is thorough

composed and had published a num-
ber of songs, and for some time
has been assistant to the well known
composer Ernest Block at the

FRACTIONAL LOVE

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 Dr. David Forsythe, psychoanalyst, may have thought he was contributing to the singleness of love and the happiness of homes when he gave it as his scientific conclusion that man is incapable of being "head over heels" in love with more than one woman at time. But he did not stop there. He declared that man can be half in love with two women, one-sixth in love with six women, one-twelfth in love with twelve women, and so on, we presume, ad infnitum.
 This intelligence of the fractional nature of love, we fear, will be disturbing to jealous wives. From Dr. Forsythes analysis it is only logical to infer that every man is two-halves, six-sixths or twelve-twelfths in love with some one or several charmers. Many woman has to be content with modest portion of con- jugal sentiment But, having one-sixth of a mans heart, how she avoid suspecting, un- der the Forsythe system, that some other one two or five women are pre-empting the other five-sixths? What thought for melodrama

REPUBLICAN, VIEW OF REED

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 The senator from Missouri is supposed to be a clever politician, but he made big blunder when he gave Woodrow Wilson legitimate op- portunity for injecting his personality into the senatorial fight in that state. We are told that "Jim" Reed expects to make capital by harp ing upon outside interference in "a purely state contest but we fear that most of the capital thus obtained will be fin favor of his op- ponent. Reed showed the former President no quarter in the Senate, and now that he is in a close fight he need expect none in return.
 The truth of the matter is that "Jim' Reed has attacked so many men in his time and has meddled in so many legislative matters that he has lost the sympathy of nose people. The average person is impatient with that kind of statesmanship. Reed has ability and is a clever debater and speech maker, but he has managed to make himself an intolerable nuisance, and when man reaches that stage it is time for him to quit public life
 There is tendency in all parts of the coun- try to get rid of the bitter-end" type of states men. Thes time has come to build instead of destroy, and we need men who will help to give IS constructive legislation.

 LITIGATION INCREASES

eve have the same number of judges in criminal court that we had 20 years ago, yet the number of cases have increased many times over, said Solicitor Joseph R. Tate. Besides hundreds of city appeal cases that crowd the docket we have many cases that have arisen from the use of the automobile that were un- heard of two decades back.
 "The volume of cases has naturally increased because we are growing in population. But new laws arising out of more complex civil ization have added additional burdens to the criminal court. With all the extra work the state has not seen fit to increase the judicial force. and it is no wonder that cases pile up and are passed from time to time"

AcE-HERALD ARTICLE READ

"When Dolly Dalrymple wrote the interesting article about Mrs. Mary A. Huffman, citizen of this city, who 50 years ago lived in the home of Charles Dickens, Gad's Hill, and knew Mrs. Dickens very well, sent copy of The Age Herald containing the article to my niece who lives in New York" said Richard H. Fries. "She in turn passed it on to her friends, MT. and Mrs. Henry Alexander, who live at Beechmont Park, New Rochelle, N Y, knowing that MT. Alexander is great admirer and student of Dickens. A few days ago l received letter from my niece, who said that she had received a most engaging note of thanks from MT. and Mrs. Alexander regarding the Dickens article, and that Mr. Alexander had read it before a gathering of interested Dicksonans in New Ro- chelle. Mr. Alexander felt quite indebted to my niece and to me for sending the article, which I regard as most Illuminating side light on Dickens. And by the way, it is re- markable the interest that Dr. W. R. Hendrix S Sunday evening sermons on Dickens has awak- ened. It is fine thing for Birmingham to have such a rare opportunity to hear something of the life and the religion of the great English author
