In these days of many strange and

To my mind the man who finds him

means change the principles of that

LOS ANGELES, December "a
Thousands of Los Angeles citizens
violated the law Sunday with the
utmost unconcern for consequences,
for going to church, license or no IL
cense, has generally been regarded
as a proper procedure for Sunday
funtil the blue law agitation popped
up.
The war between the public moral
regulators and the liberals, led by
the movie people, is being fought to
the last ditch. There will undoubt-
edly be a referendum on the lifting
Of the lid in this city, particularly
with regard to the midnight time
limit on dancing, which will give
people an opportunity to express their
stand on the repeal of restrictive
laws affecting amusements and gay
cites Of the innocent sort.
The new police commissioner, domi-
mated by DR.. Montgomery, former
minister, in launching an attack upon
dancing and other amusements,
pleaded a sworn obligation to enforce
all law. When one ordinance pro-
hibiting any sort of meeting or gath
erlng without a special license was
held to apply to all church activities,
montgomery at once sought it's re-
peal. The liberal members of the
council blocked this attempt. hold
ing out for the repeal of the other
so-called blue laws.

WHY THERE ARE
NO MORE STORIES
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

There are no more good stories be-
cause We know too much.
The story tellers are not to blame.
We readers are to blame. The age is
to blame.
There is too much light. A thor
oughly illumined Boston mind can no
more enjoy narrowing tale than an
audience that knows how all the
tricks are performed can enjoy a
tsleight-o performance.
Almost any story will do and the
more artless the better, if you can
find the right listener.

your children. They are enraptured
with Little Red Radinghood" and
hang breathlessly upon the adven-
! lures of Caliph Haroun Al-Raschid.
| And you couldn't sell stories like that
to Broadway periodical for cents.
Innumerable ladies, bubbling with
creative instinct and desirous of MAX
| ing a living some easier way than by
| housework, are engaged in the story
writing business. They come equipped
with college educations and courses
| in literature; they know all the arts
and tricks of. introduction, ddvelop-
ment and climax. every magazine ed
itor in the United States stands knee
deep in their manuscripts; yet real
stories are scarce as hens teeth.
But Jack Marlinspike, seated on a
coil of rope, smoking a short-stem-
oned pipe of unspeakable tobacco.
while his ship walloHs through the
weedy Caribbean, sQueeZes the souls
of his little circle of auditors who
squat around him, as Bacchus pressed
in his two hands the bleeding grapes.
Marlinspike Is not so much of an
artist as the last female analyzer of
sexual problems in the Sunday sup
plement. but he has a better audience,
an audience of virgin ignorance, beau
tifully supersthious. greedily cJedu-
lous.
All the real thrillers in the way of
fiction originated when the world was
young and unspoiled by exact infor-
nation.
There are. it has been estimated.
but about five or six original stories
in all the world. The rest are varia-
tions upon those themes. And all the
original half dozen date from the
gray DAYS of Melchisedek. Every new
yarn you begin in this months peri
odical you will find to be but a re-
winding OF the wool used by Shem,
Ham and Japhet as they sat around
in the ark and beguiled the long rain
spell
Preaching declined when the pew
holders got to reading higher criti-
cism. With the discovery of the
works behind the maryels OF mir
aclcs and wonders the congregation
lost interest
SO with the rise of general educa-
tion the story teller founders patheti-
cally. His readers will not cape, ex-
cept such cape as resembles sus-
piciously a yawn.

tainted by knowledge that keep us
from going mad from boredom.
Driven from the fields and forests
of adulthood by ak and tractor
