With the current issue of the
Colophon, a quarterly for book
collectors, the periodical enters
it's second year. Theodore Drei-
ser, the novelist, is among the
contributors and tells of the
early adventures of "Sister Car
rie," his first novel.
In this article there appears
for the first time over his sigma
ture a story long current unof-
ficially among book collectors.
He tells how, when the novel
was completed in 1900, he took
it to one of the leading publish
ing houses of the day, where
Frank Norris held the position
of reader, and how Norris rec
commended the book enthusias-
tically, whereupon a contract for
its publication was signed.

cas- long anticipated business re.
vival about to begin-if, indeed, it
hasn't already started-and the
construction industry is leading
the way.
PesSimism Disappearing
This was the declaration of
Charles F. Abbott, executived di,
rector of the American institute
Of steel construction, in an inter.
view today. He has just returned
from an extended trip around the
country and said:
"PesSimiSm is fast disappear
ing. The country has buckled
down and gone to work. We are
entering a new cycle of indus
trial activity.
"Only in New York, Chicago
and Detroit did 1 find evidences
of pronounced depression. De-
trOit has recovered from that
feeling because the automobile
business has since picked up in
great shape. Chicago and New
York, being financial centerS,
have been holding the bag in
the matter of price receSsiOnS,
and naturally grew very peSsi-
mistic. But both of these cities
are now swapping out of it.
Reported to Hoover
Mr.. Abbott exuded optimism
as he sat at his desk in a New
York office building and de.
scribed the inherently sound
condition of the country. Only
a week ago he visited Washing
ton and made a report on the
situation to President Hoover.
What he said in the interview
today was virtually what he told
the President. Said Mr.. Abbott:
81 left New York in January
and everybody was depressed.
/ was surprised to find in New
Orleans that S268, 900, 900 worth
of construction was under way
In that section; that retail
trade was active; that there
was no spirit of depression and
that the city was not worried
over the unemployment prob
lem.
"At Dallas, Texas, I found
there was S45,OOO,OOO worth of
construction under way. The
hotels we're crowded; retail
trade was normal and there was
no unemployment profile
there.
Phoenix Hotels Full
Considerable building was
going on in and near Phoenix,
Arizona, and the hotels were
full. In Los Angeles the build.
ing was not so active but pro
jects were pending that would
stimulate the situation. There
was some unemployment due to
the winter influx of strangers.
Business in the retail stores
was beginning to pick up,
however"
Swinging up to San Francisco,
Mr.. Abbott found that a number
Of important building projects
we're going forward, including the
Golden Gate bridge-a project
that will bring employment to
an army of men. He continued: /:
I'm Portland and Seattle, con-
ditionS were normal. Business
prospects in the Northwest are
good.
Denver in Good Shape
81 found that Denver had no
employment. problem, and that
construction prospects were
fine. The building inspector
there told me there would be
$40, 100000 worth of cOnstruc-
tiOn in Denver this year.
"In Omaha conditions are
normal, with prospects good for
the future, even though the
farmers in that region have
been hit rather hard"

yet suggestive, somehow, of design.
There was something vaguely symbolic
about that, it seemed to him.
This city that he could see served
well enough to represent all New York
as it had lain before him upon his re-
turn. The very people with whom he
had been thrown had been as strange
to him as these new giants that pierced
the clouds, and those dancing, shifting

Peter knew, of course, that the times
