BEST SHORT STORIES OF 1872:
By Edward J. O'Brien


Sherwood Anderson. among all
the American writer's has escaped
from the "laziness and spiritual
compromise which is manifest IN
the commercial short story's sur
render to the machine and TO bus
mess" says Edward j. O'Brien,
in introducing the 1922 edition oil
his famous classification OF the
best American short stories OF
the year.
He points to another evil be-
sides that of obvious corruption,
menacing American writers. 1--WE
are also in danger of seeking ro-
mantle escape from the machine
by creating mysticism of the
machine and by regarding the
machine as something transcen-
dental" ne says at is clearly an
ostrich way of accepting slavery.
If our more promising artists are
driven into cul-de-sac 1t Is be-
cause they perceive the banality
Of Main Street and are seeking a
way out into the country. Sher-
wood Anderson seems to me the
man who is nearest to finding
freedom and | believe he is also
the man who is most anxious to
return to Main street and report
what he has found.

FINE OLD HOUSE
GOES UP I'm FLAMES
Chandler Place, One of the Old

Destroyed In Sunday Fire
Lightning Strike. Barn In Bad Thun-
dsrstorm,-Heavy Loss


One Of the finest old houses in the
town Of Pomfret and one Of the
longest and best-known landmarks
was completely destroyed by FIRE last
Sunday afternoon when lightning
struck the barn on the Deacon
Chandler Place" destroying nearly q
hundred tons Of hay and later set
ting Gre to the fine old residence and
destroying IL completely.
II was in the midst Of the heavy
thunder shower late Sunday that the
northern section Of Pomfret was
rocked by the fierce q the thunder
bolt which set fire 20 the Chandler
barn, owned for the past twenty years
by II. II. Davenport. Through the rain
the barn was seen 70 be afire IN three
different places and so quickly did
the hay take FIRE that the heavy rain
had no effect The barn was attached
70 the house by low outbuilding but
the fire soon became too hot to give
the workers. who gathered from all
parts of the country, an opportunity
to tear the outbuilding down in an
effort 10 save the house proper.
The families OF Frank Rainsford
and Ralph Jaime, occupants of the
farm, were able to save their live
stock from the barn and also with
the help Of neighbors rescued most
Of their property from the house be
fore the flames reached the building
proper.
