had originally set our course.
Soon we left the ice behind and
were sailing over the open water
north of Spitzbergen. Our nose was
pointing straight for North Cape. The
wind grew heavier and the waves
were running high beneath us. We
thought we had safely reached our
destination, but we were mistaken.
Airleron Gives Way.
For about half an hour an airleron
had been working badly. Now it sud

We were still 20 miles from land.
The pilot now used the machine as a
boat, guiding it jerkily over the waves
to the shore of North Cape.
Suddenly in the distance we saw a
ship. 1t was a sealer securing the
waters for a wounded walrus. We
pushed our crippled airplane over to

Taken Lead From French.
ITO deal with the last first, while
it is not exactly a thing about which
we like to boast or even face, the
plain truth is that in the matter of
literary leWdness we have taken the
lead away from the French. 1t used
to be that Paris held the palm for
this sort of thing. Americans in the
French capital were accustomed TO
marvel that a civilized nation should
openly permit the sale of such filth,
and it was taken to indicate that the
French as a whole, We're essentially

Smuggle home these Paris periodicals
and stealthily pass them around
among their friends.
But they do not have to do that
now. They can get here in the old
home town not only more such pub
hcations. but dirtier, both as TO art
and as to reading matter. And not
only have we produced a great smut
crop of coarsenesS peculiarly our own,
but the more obscene of the French

the small towns they are seen in the

prehension as to the future than any
other single symptom in America to-
day.
Flood Came Gradually.
There isn't anything sudden about
this prolific pornographic flood. 1t is
a gradual growth covering a period of
about five years. Some of the less
lewd are older than that 1t is, how
ever, in the last "a months that the
real spread had occurred, and, while
the existence of this thing has been
casually noted, I am certain the null
tiplicity of the periodicals which
frankly and with a surprising vul
garity cater to the sexual appetite has
not been generally grasped. 1t is
really the most sensational develop
ment in the publishing business in
years and is nationally significant in
so many ways that it ought to be
generally noted and understood.
The place to fully appreciate its
proportions is in the smaller cities
and towns with populations ranging
from 10000 up to 100, ,000-towns, for
instance, like Fairmont, w. Va,
where one newsdealer sells 1900
copies of every issue of a single
monthly; or like Steubenville, Ohio,
where out of 10 periodicals on sale

In these days a woman's course OF
