The Primrose Path of Standardization
Manchester Guardian.)

most interesting discussion took place at the Library Association Conference the business of producing and circulating books MT. R. H. Mott spoke for the authors Lieutenant Colonel John Murray for the publishers MT. E. A. Savage for the librarians, and MT. Bowes for the book sellers. All of them drew attention to the dangers threatening the book trade from production and standardization. For mass production and standardization seem to provide not much good article a popular one; and such principle applied to literature would be fatal. As MT. Mott ram put it, publishing and bookseing are no longer the. affair of few almost dilettante persons catering for the known taste of limited select cliantele; they great, roaring, modern indus tries" In far this means that more people are reading and writing it is all to the good. The danger is that it should lead to deterioration in quality to hustings system of selection and valua- tion Writing, to be worth anything must be done largely for its own sake. Money produce almost anything but it cannot produce books. Only ad- ventures of the spirit can do that. And if an enormously increased reading public means that the production of books, the part of all con- cerned develops into struggle to tickle the largest number of palates, then there will be an end of books as we have known them hitherto.

 It is said that Big Bill' had determined to re- tire from public life with this term, but he finds the idea of being Mayor during the World Fair ai- turing He is essentially a snowman, and thinks the Chicago Fair will be the greatest show the country has ever had.

promise, they punched It out,
with Baer winning over the Akron

ness, youth and superior hitting
power.
Although Christner went down
often, while Baer kept his feet dur
ing the entire battle, victory re-
mained in doubt until the Liver

A telephone call to the garage, oper-

formation that the car had been towed

George Keneipp, general manager OF

that Mr.. Stambler was the real owner,

latter.

Mr.. Keneipp, recognizing the posi-

the Police Department. A sharp look
out Is being maintained to curb the
racket before it really gets started.
I'm sure we would have caught the
perpetrator Of the hoax when he called
for the car" Mr.. Keneipp declared,
because we invariably require proof
of ownership in such cases. Unless such
proof is demanded, however, can see
how such racket might prove serious
