Gottlieb, a great scientist but a
made genius. There is something
SO cruelty magnetic about this old
man of science that Max began to
haunt me at night.
AT times felt he was an old fake,
but then his influence extended, and
he resumed his place as a leader.
He was not a practical man. He
was a genius and by his queerness
and strange views on life he nodded
his disciples of research. And he
made many enemies.
A New Field
Lewis, in writing "Arrcwsnith, y
had the services of DR.. Paul H. De
Kruif, and the author gives this man
credit to him mot only for most of
the psychological and medical mate
rial in this tale, but equally for his
help in the planning of the fable it
self. -
At this time nearly everybody is
humping up against science. Lewis
has entered this field and by intro
ducing Arrowsmith and the many
great minds and personalities that
came into his life has given us a
story Of tremendous appeal.
In a painstaking but dramatic
way, Lewis takes us into the great
laboratories of magnificently equipped
research institutions. Before that
we actually live with the young doc
tor, who was miles ahead Of Main
st. and who could not understand
why the old street would not accept
him.
And yet Martin Arrowsmith &C
copied and rejected himself. When

he came to being a husband he was
both a success and a failure with
two wives.
But in the first wife, Leora, |
believe you will find one of the
finest conceived characters in the
land of fiction. To some she might
be a dumbdora who could not
grow with her husband but it was
the simple soul of this woman that
caused Arrowsmith to be famous.
He nagged at her and found fault
" hen she failed to be brilliant at a
dinner party where everybody was
$50 smart" She admits that she
read an entire afternoon upon art
but the people at the party didn't
talk on art"
And while Arrowsmith was fight
ing the plague in a distant South
Sea island, Leora became infected
through her own carelessness. She
died while ArrowSrnith was having
at least mental petting party with
the woman that afterward became
his second wife.
His second wife was a mint and
Doc couldn't get along with smart
woman with a fortune. And so
Arrowsmith leaves her and his son.
The Acid Test
We meet several hundred charac
tiers in "Arrowsmith" and the au-
thor is just as careful in develop
ing a character that exists only in a
single paragraph as those who surge
through the entire story.
That is the acid test Of great writ.

Editorial Comment
That Cider Act

cortland SS-Herald)
Is there a Joker in the cider act
passed by the SIND Legislature?
That question was being asked yes
terday by several persons who have
read the law since its passage.
Fear is expressed that the new law
nay provide an unexpected oasis
when it becomes effective and all
because Of the omission Of two
words, which should have been
there. from it's context.
The act, which was introduced by
Representative Towle of Winthrop,
legaliZes the manufacture and sale of
cider which has been treated so that
it contains less than one-half of one
per cent of alcohol.
The question is being raised that,
IL the maker of the cider presents
evidence to show that it was treated
when made so that it would contain
no more than the legal amount of
alcohol, there would be great diff
ficulty in successfully CARRYING for
ward prosecutions should the cider
be found later on in its career to
contain an excess of alcohol. Had
the act contained the two little
words, "hy test" the critics say.
that difficulty would have been
avoided.
So far as can be learned. the bill
as originally drawn did not contain
the words "by test nor was there
any suggestion at the committee
hearing upon the bill that those
words be inserted.
Now the question Is being asked.
did someone slip something over?"
In other words, was a provision for
determination OF alcoholic content
by test omitted from the bill by de-
sign or accident.
