eratnre, but fortunately those who read genuine literature value it from rather different angle, The lit- crary professor, like the professor Of music, painting, or art in general, Is too much Inclined 10 be ultra Soph- isticatod, ultra.refinod and ultra critical Of craftsmanship details, These have their place; but the in- tolligcnt person who docs not fol- low literature as a profession gives more weight to his emotional re- actions, The literary professor Is in the same position regarding litera- ture as the purist Is regarding the art Of writing, And few great writ CTS have ever been purists-as soon as they get that way 1t cramps their style,
 The English authors Prof. Will iRms referred 10 no doubt are as great as he claimed them 10 be, and the two Americans he listed like wise may be all he claimed for them. Yet in the case of several listed, opinions surely differ. A iit- crary professor from Harvard, or one from Princeton, or any number identified with other educational in- sttutlons might list different names. These men differ because they view such matters from differ ent angles, and they cannot help in jectng their own literary prcjudiccs into their viewpoints.
 We have another bone 10 pick clean regarding this bit of literary porridge and it has 10 do with the failure Of the professor to name any | Of the Nobel literary prizewinncrs in his galaxy Of the great and near great. There have been A awards since the beginning Of the prize awards in 1901 and none of Profos- sor Williams seven is listed as q winner, Evidently the Swedish board of directors see literary ex- celence in q different light. Such writers as Anatolo France, Romain Holland, Tagorc, Hauptmann, Maetcrlnck and Rudyard Kipling are among the Nobel winners; and it might be in the nature of pin prick 10 call attention to the fact that Kipling has been the only Eng i fish writer ever to have attained q Nobel prize, in spite of the merits of inc fivo English writers selected by Mr. Williams. Any professor could point out 10 q gasp!ng audi onco, however, the many d"mcrits 1 Of Kipling; just as LougfcllOW, 1ry- ing, Poe and Wordsworth, 10 mcn- ton but few, have been Chucked , into the limbo where good scrap iron belongs by some of the super intellectuals,
 We cannot understand why Sin clair Lewis was included in the Williams galaxy Of the great Ameri- can authors. The ultra-roiined method would he 10 shy at the writers Of best sellers. There have been some criticisms uttered about ! Mir. Lewis work, but we are pleased 10 note that Professor Williams is not among these critics. According 10 Mr. Williams, he shines "heCauSc Of his originality and irankness con- corning the crudencss of American life" Well, We are so crude that we like such criticism; we are so crude that we listen 10 anybody with enough blah about his personality to make us think We need leading strings: we are so crude that we even read crude literature, crude periodicals, crude newspapers, even
 crude editorials, The only trouble
 with the outlook is we may not he
 as crude as we look.

be pulled away from the contact with the current.
 One may take drill, mine auger. bar or rod of iron or piece of wire and throw it quickly across the trolley wire and the rail (sup- posing now that the current comes from an electric car system), taking particular care to release your hold of the instrument before it touches the live wire. By this act the cir cult breaker in the power house will be thrown out and the current cut off.
 Leave the bar of iron or other in strument across the wire, so that the clfrrent breaker will be thrown out continuously Such action may cause injury to other working parts, but when human life is at stake all the wires should be cut if necessary. Life first, property afterwards.
 If no wire, bar or other instru- ment long enough to reach from the wire to the rail is at hand one may proceed 10 remove the victim from the live wire, but should first get a dry board or piece of thick paper and put it under the feet, and also protect the hand used with the cap, coat or any dry non-conducting ma terial.
 If possible one should use one hand only. placing the other hand behind him. If both hands are used to remove the person from the wire one should make sure that both the hands and the feet are well insulat- ed. A dry, long handled shovel may be Of service in removing the patient from contact with the wire.
 Another way to break the cur rent is to take the belt, handker- chief, coat or a piece of dry rope and loop it over the victims foot or head if he is lying on the wire and thus pull him off.
 If an aX is near at hand fl may bc used 10 cut the wire, but one should make sure that the handle is dry or wrap 1t with a coat or other non-conduCting material before at tempting 10 use il; or one may use dry board. q dry cloth, or a dry rope 10 pull the wire away from the patient. To not grasp the wire with the hand even when protected by q dry cloth.
 As soon as the patient is freed from the wire and removed from danger of further contact with it artificial respiration should be be- gun at once.
