DEFENSE:

Sex stories are not. as many
people think, cheap and smutty
People will get over this idea il
time.
In literature people today are
demanding directness, frankness,
truth. They are crying--at least
the younger generation is-for life,
more life, life as it is.
That is the view of Miss Eleanor
Ramos, editor of "Saucv Stories,
one of the breezy magazines pub
lished in the same office with
. Smart Set made famous by II.
l.. Mencken and George Jean Ma
than.
Readers and contributors who
imagine magazine editors to be
gray-beards are mistaken in the edi-
tor of ''Saucy Stories. - Miss Ramos
is young, good looking. tall, williwv
and has bobbed hair of 'copper-red.
1.-The swinging of the literary
pendulum toward sex stories is log
ical,' she said, explaining her cdi-
torial viewpoint for NEA Service,
Il presume that a psyehoanalyst
would say all love stories are sex
stories. / am sorry to find that
some think them objectionable.
AS the editor of so-calied sex
magazine, / think Of the sex story
as one that treats Of love from the
realistic, rather than the romantic.

''Realism has vivificd the arts
and crafts of today. Gingerbread

PROSECUTIONS:

= Literary pretenders who write
sex novels and magazine stories OF
today are guilty of producing septic
literature.
Such authors are as meHacing to
the public health, especially in this
age of shifting moral standards, as a
typhoid carrier. Our mental and
physical health is endangered.
That is the burden of an editor
isl by DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk, med
zeal director of the Life Extension
Institute, under the heading "The
Putrid PEN in the forthcoming
February issue of the institute :
magazine, How to Live Journal. -
Applying his opinions for NEA
Service, Or. Fisk said:
Books and magazines of this
septic sex type appeal TO an evil
appetite. This appetite is not as
widespread as some think; il is like
the appetite for morphine: normal,
healthy people do not crave it,. but
many become mentally infected and
develop abnormal tendencies. Clinics
and hospitals record the terrible
effects.
This is an age of self-indul-
gence, of luxury, of the new free
COMPATIBILITY for women-of
prccedents east aside. Stories of love
that are high minded, spiriualihing
a human passion, create good. The
other kind, having pathological
trend, brutalize it and appeal only
TO the animal sense.
Magazines aping the miscallcd
genius of these cowardly attacks
ON our home circles add fuel TO the
fire. Young people get the wrong
view of life from these extreme
stories.
We possess a reserve of energy
and emotion which must have an ou,.
let. Some get it in adventure, mys-
terry and detective stories. People
used to condemn the dime novel as
spectacular, sensational, exaggerat
ed. Dime novels of the most lurid
type were harmless compared to the
poison of today's sex stories.
1.-Two types of authors are guilty:
the half-insane type, who think they
are gcniuses; and those who know
what they arc doing and deliber-
ately prostitute art for commercial
reward. We can spare such writer's;
they breed unhappiness and dis
case.
