Dick Halliburton LizleS Again the Glorious

natural charm and beauty Of adven-
ture.
Halliburton's real value is that he
has created a new reason for going
to the library or to the bookshop.
He has made adventure a living
thing. He kicks adventure from the
shadows of ones imagination and
takes it out into the sunlight, per-
hitting it to frolic Just as the hero
did years ago.
Dick has brought to the youth of
this country the conviction that it is
not a sin to dream dreams Of adven-
ture and that it is no longer a high
crime or waste of time TO follow in
the footsteps of ones personal
| heroes.
Halliburton has brought more at
tention to books than any ten other
new writer's He is now an institu-
ton, even international in character,
and I am happy in the fact that the
Bobbs-Merrill Company of this city
is Halliburton's publisher.
Have a glorious time reading The
Glorious Adventure" You will, am
sure.

Paris Refuses to Be Reno-ized

Some years ago American middle and wealthy

Gilded women went there, established a residence

bridge there for a few months, and then went galy
back East with precious piece Of paper-a divorce.
Reno finally rebelled. There was dismay in Fifth
Ave- and Park Lane And then one bright young
thing, tired Of her husband, found that Paris was
Paradise. 1t was easy to establish legal residence
in Paris. The Paris courts very lenent in the
matter of divorces. Immediately the colony of hls-

sip tea in the lounges of the swagger hotels
But now there signs that Paris refuses to be

issued circular warning judges that French divorce
law should apply only to those who have real domi-

Accident Aftermath
From the Springfield Republican.

rFou TUG SpfihSHeiu Republican.
A speaker in Boston a few weeks
ago directed the public's attention TO
the economic loss and the suffering
sustained in traffic accidents that do
not result fatally. Nearly all the sta
tistics published conspicuously, includ
ing Mr. Goodwin's weekly list, lay
stress on fatalities, as is natural The
Boston speaker urged that more atten
tion be paid to injuries not fatal and
to their social consequences. particu
larly the money cost.
An example of this was the case of
a Rhode Island woman of advanced
years who was knocked down by a
motor vehicle While the injury was
not critical or acutely painful. doc.
tors, hospital and nursing bills aggre.
gated nearly $1,000. which, being a
woman Of ample means. she could cas-.
lily pay. As the man who owned the
car had little property and a small 10.
come, there was little likelihood of
compensation. and she made no effort
to collect damages in the courts. Suc,,
an accident shows graphically the lie.
STABILITY of compulsory liability IN
